Yes. Not only is it powder, it is LOOSE powder, which we also sort of despise, but for this product, we are setting all previous feelings aside. It’s that good. Plus, we have found we don’t need to bring it with us because it lasts all day so the annoyance of it being loose is deeply minimized. We bought the mini* to try (we buy things to test them with our own money, so we always love trying minis) and the puff is a miraculous material, and we feel strongly it has something to do with the blurring effect it gives:

We used the color “pound cake*” and while the colors seem weird/intimidating, they’re actually so forgiving, and you can’t make a mistake. We are, of course, buying the full-size version* immediately and never looking back.

Price: $23 for the mini, $39 for the full-size
