I've tried transculcent powders in the past and have not been happy with them. I've seen Dermablend advertised on shows like HSN and QVC and often wondered. I ordered this along with other Dermablend products and I must say I like this setting powder better than my spray on setting spray, which can feel a bit sticky. Whether you have white, light or dark skin, I think the original (white) works just as well. It goes on looking light a light chalk, but once it sets, you can't tell and your make up looks flawless.
