I have been using this translucent powder for a couple of years to set my foundation. It is light and I don't feel like it looks cake-y or clogs my pores, as some other powders can do. Its subtle tint keeps me from looking ghostly pale, and I don't find that it oxidizes (turns dark/orange-y) over time. The consistency is very fine and the result is a very subtle matte, blurred finish which helps contour products, blush, and highlighter apply smoothly. One jar lasts me 6-8 months. Highly recommend!
