This powder works wonders! I was looking for a powder that was talc free and a little more on the high end side and decided to go with Tarte. This is also my first time trying Tarte and I am very pleased. I was previously using a powder with talc in it and I did not realize how powdery it made me look. I can put a few layers of this powder on and it does not look powdery or cakey at all. The difference is amazing! I am so glad I invested my money into buying this powder. I will be trying a few more products from Tarte soon! I highly recommend this powder!

I love this powder. It gives my a natural complexion without making my face look too chalky or cakey.

I *adore* this powder. Being the kind of person who doesn't like to spend a lot of money on one thing, I was very hesitant to buy this. I bought it, anyway -- and I am tremendously glad that I did. It's worth every penny.

I have combination skin that is very dry and flaky in some places, but a bit oily in the t-zone, especially around my nose. This completely balances my skin, hydrating the dry areas and drying up the oily areas. (Most powders dry out my skin completely.) Also, every powder I've tried has highlighted any flakes and has ended up looking cakey, but this powder hasn't done either of those things. The vitamins (A and E) and minerals in the powder have actually helped my complexion a lot, too.

I initially hated the new compact because it wasn't what I saw on display at Ulta and on the website, so I was a bit surprised and had thought that I bought a different product by accident. I felt that the separate compartment for the sponge was more sanitary, too. However, the compact really grew on me and I actually prefer this one now, because it seems more durable than the shiny compact. I just keep the little plastic disc between the sponge and the powder, so the sponge was an easy problem to fix. Besides, I don't use the sponge, anyway.

The buildable coverage is also very nice, but you really don't need to "build" very much for good coverage, as the powder is well-pigmented. I have a friend who owns this and she thought that it was a mineral foundation because it covered so well! I also love that Tarte is an environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free company and that the compact is refillable. However, I must take half of a star off of the review because the refills don't come in lighter shades! Otherwise, this would be a completely perfect review.

This powder is amazing! It's so unique! It's talc-free so it's not chalky, powdery, or drying. That's important especially as you age, because you want a product that sets your makeup but won't cause you to look older. I personally have issues with adult acne and dry skin, and this product hasn't caused breakouts, won't highlight flakiness, doesn't dry my skin out, and won't settle into fine lines. I use it very lightly with a small brush to set my under-eye concealer as well as all over my face and it works well both ways. It contains minerals and antioxidants which is hard to find in a face powder. It leaves a beautiful semi-matte, natural looking finish. Face powder is not all made the same, and this is definitely a worth-while purchase for me. The compact is pretty, contains a quality sponge applicator (not a velvet pouf), and has a nice mirror which makes it nice for travel. I clearly love this product, and I would recommend this for all skin types and ages. I use the color "Light" and I find it to be light coverage but it can be built up to medium coverage without looking unnatural or causing dryness.

Love this powder will put it on top of my BB Cream & looks great and natural! Also if you want to just use your concealer & this on top look Fabulous as well!!!
This powder doesn't look like a funky gunky powder nor does it clog your pores like those yucky powders do!
This is Fabulous!!!

The compact itself didn't end up looking like this picture, but it's still purple and I actually like it better (it matches my bag perfectly!). The powder itself applies nicely and does a good job mattifying. It's not full coverage and works for setting my makeup than wearing on its own. I will definitely buy the pressed powder refill when I run out.

Great coverage, light feel to the product and looks good all day! I will continue to use this as my go to powder - I'm a Tarte convert now for sure!

Love this product! I used to use MAC which provided too much coverage. This one feels less caked on and much lighter and healthier for my skin. Blends better with my shade too.

This powder is very, very nice. I bought the color "light" and it works perfectly with my skin tone. I only had to reapply once throughout my work day- and that's good because I tend to get very oily and usually have to apply several times a day. This powder also comes in a cute little make-up compact and I love that its good for you beauty!

I love this product. I have not used anything else since the first time I bought it. I find that most foundations have a red undertone that looks funny on my yellow undertone olive skin. I also feel like this product does a good job keeping my face from getting to shiny without drying it out.

I wasn't sure how I would like this for using loose powder for so long but I really do like this. It gives a nice natural finish but you don't need too much. I do wish they had a loose powder like this rather than just the finishing powder that doesn't come but in one color...because I need a little more coverage than just the foundation...so I could see which I like better. I just think I like the look of loose powder better than pressed. I do not like the pad provided to use. I will be buying a different one but not a biggie.

I really like the finish and coverage on this powder but it is far to yellow on my neutral skin tone.
