I tried using this product when it first came out and loved it so much I used it professionally as a former makeup artist. In fact, I believe at one time it was ONLY sold to professionals or you had to purchase from Doctors or spas that carried the line. I was curious if it was the same formula that I had known and loved and I'm happy to say that it is! Why apply a white powder over your makeup? This powder looks white in the jar but is invisible on the surface of the skin. I love it because it looks great over any type of foundation including airbrush makeup. ANY skin tone can use it too, even darker skin tones! What I REALLY love is that this powder doesn't oxidize on the skin (turn orange or yellow). This is a problem with powders and foundations on oily skin, and it usually appears in my T Zone if it shows up.
