Pressed Powder - PP 010

I am on what must be my sixth of these now, and always have a backup ready to go because I use it every time I wear BB cream or liquid foundation (so almost every day). I'm an London College of Fashion trained ex-make up artist (now in a different career but still make-up obsessed and knowledgeable) and I've tried a number of these white setting powders - this is the best, hands down. The method is to lightly press with the puff over freshly applied make-up, then use a large, dense powder brush to buff and brush off excess. Sets make-up for up to 12 hours, and has managed to make liquid foundation or BB cream stay through very long conferences, heatwave, you name it. You do then tend to want to have a *different*, slightly tinted silky pressed powder or lightweight powder foundation with which to correct around the nose or chin throughout the day when necessary. I never use this powder to touch up - only as a setting powder after the initial application. Highly recommended.

This is the only transluscent powder I will ever use. It's so finely milled that it never looks cakey or gross. I started using it when I had very oily skin and it always did a fantastic job controlling oil and keeping my foundation in place. Now that my skin is drier I only use it to powder my nose in summer - I live in a very hot climate - but it never changes the look of my makeup so you can't tell its not all over. A little goes a long way and it lasts forever.

Love this it's so cute looking only down side is because its so silly and lightweight it breaks SO easily

Amazing! Love it soft and smells coconutty

Fantastic present for my daughter.

Pressed powder is brilliant goes with all skin colour and type and does the job without it looking cakey, I would recommend this product

Hi The product looked great when I tested it , but when I got it and opened was sorely disappointed to see in in tiny pieces . The moment I opened , there were powder pieces dropping from every corner of the box What a waste of 2 grand !

My favourite powder! Slightly lightens my foundation to make it the perfect colour for my skin.

I love Illamasqua and their products. I previously bought a similar colour pressed powder in this shade but it was sold as a blush, this had really good pigmentation and was excellent for contouring. This powder however has barely any pigment to it, and is more of a translucent powder than a white powder, and even then it looks odd on the skin. Wouldn't try again.

So disappointed that I ordered my second pressed powder (I had used up all my other one) to find that powder was falling out the box before I even opened the inner container! After becoming a fan of illamasqua products I'm starting to rethink if I should seek other brands that not send me smashed up product and charge me £20 for it. Really disappointing.
