is this more pigmented than Bh cosmetics and does this get all powdery after a while ??

It does get a bit powdery. If you use a fan brush to brush excess IMMEDIATELY it won't stain. BUT leave it there, it will. Especially the brighter ones. They are HIGHLY PIGMENTED. I can't comment on Bh cosmetics because i have never tried that brand

Well I think they are equal, Great for little girls who like to add lots of layers, I used my youngest's set on valentines day and well lets just say, the cheaper makeup in Wally world is way more pigmented than either brand, hope this helps, oh and this one the pots of color are way smaller than the Bh brand I bought, hope this helps, Daisey

It's more of a bronzed honey. Don't look for too much color coverate. If you're not already tan, this will not make you tan. It's an oil with a little shimmer to it. You might have to keep reapplying through out the day.

Traslucent is more for shiny skin helps to keep it dry and also they have three tones natural is for white skin, warm beige is for dark ir médium skin and Traslucent i havent seen that color but talking about make up is the whitest powder ... You can use it at the end of make up, it's the final touch ... I only useWarm beige because I'm medium skin tone and it's perfect for me I don't need the translucent powder

no. It only comes in this shade. This type of product has become very popular with many companies. it is an HD powder which makes it perfect for hiding flaws and making your skin picture perfect for photos.

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

You could use this without foundation, I suppose. But it would only give you a matte finish. This will not even skin tone out because it is translucent, and if you apply too much, you will look like a ghost because it is white. This is a setting powder meant to set makeup (typically liquid) that has been applied so it does not wear over time. If you are looking for a light powder, try a face powder or mineral foundation that matches your skin tone. Only a color correcting primer, liquid or powder foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, or a BB cream can help you with giving you an even skin look. I suggest checking out Make Up For Ever's HD Primer and select the one that is meant to correct redness (I believe it's the green one, don't be afraid! It's only a base primer); then find a face powder in your skin tone to even your skin color and mattify it. It will be a very light (almost no makeup) feel.

It actually came without a name on it. So I don't know what brand it is! I thought it was going to work like a BH palette but its not! It's very matte and not very pigmented. Hope this helps

I have tan skin and the powder is white. I only use it in winter. I really like the smell and how it does not make your skin look cakey. It does not conceal much but it is perfect for people who like to look natural. I think it all depends in what type of skin you have and how you like to put make up on. I highly recommend it if you like natural and whiter look.

It comes with a flat powder puff type thing,if you buy the whole thing, case and all. (not the refill) Sometimes, I use a fluffy brush to apply it, and then dust off the excess. I finally spritz my face with a rosewaterspray to give it a glow and to set the makeup.The hardest part is choosing the right color, especially online. I went through a few to find the exact color. I am light/med and I like a color without any pink, so Golden Glow works great for me.

The powder does have a tint to it, it shows up slightly on your face. However, I use a ton of it...probably way more than necessary. I have used it on my entire family, we all have different skin tones, and it really doesn't look like they are wearing anything. If you have an Ulta cosmetic store near you, they sell it, often buy one get one free for $19.99. Good luck!

The "Natural Skin Tone" seems dark which is why I mix it with my tinted moisturizer to lighten it up and give it a less matt appearance. I believe Cotz also has a lighter version,but not sure what that one is called.

I have been using it for awhile now along with the gold VIP one and I don't think my skin has been whiten. It says it has whitening but my skin haven't changed and I love using their bb creams. I'm very light so I only use a little bit of this bronze to mix with the gold. They both have about the same effects and benefits.

It comes out of the pump almost a very natural fair-to-medium color. I have extremely hard to match skin coloring. I am in between an ivory and a natural beige...I have a lot of pink in my skin tone and I wanted this to see if it would "lighten me up". Well, it did that and then some! It matched my skin tone, moisturizes, provided SPF, and became a base (primer) for some of my other foundations. I use with Bare Minerals, which I love, but I don't always feel I have enough on...especially if I have a few blemishes. I apply the Skin 79 BB cream with a foundation brush, which I highly recommend by the way...it helps to blend and smooth the bb cream, making your skin look flawless! I know this is way more than you asked for, but don't worry so much about the color if you are anywhere from a porcelain ivory to a medium beige. I think you could even use if you were a darker skin tone that just wanted to lighten up and even out your own natural coloring. You would just have to use your regular foundation on top of this. But, if you are close to any of these colors you should be able to use without using anything else. I have used it alone, without anything but a lip stain and mascara and looked fine and gotten lots of compliments on my skin. It is very moisturizing too. It goes on almost too moisturizing and the first time you think, Oh no, my makeup is going to run and smear! But, if you let it set for a minute or two after applying, it becomes velvety and smooth, not greasy at all. It is more of a nude shade once applied...I hope this helps you. I do recommend this product. I ordered it almost a year ago and I still have quite a bit left. It doesn't take much to cover well and again, I cannot stress how much a good foundation brush will help. It will make your skin appear flawless. Have a great day! :) You will not be disappointed with this product!

I honestly don't know. It appeared to be a knockoff of coastal scents or bh cosmetics, they have these same palettes, but bc I wasn't satisfied with the color payoff or the application of the eyeshado, I gave it away. I went over the time one could return it, plus it was so inexpensive, I didn't take it as a complete loss.

Hi there! I would say it depends on how you plan on using the powder. I am a darker skinned woman, so I use the Ben Nye Chestnut all over my face to set my foundation (or by itself if I am quickly running an errand on the weekend) and use the Topaz to set my highlights. You would probably want to use Topaz to set your foundation and the Banana to set your highlights. My best suggestion is to search for videos on YouTube so you can see how the powders look on women of different shades. Good luck! :-)

I had one that started faded right away and it was gone in a week. I had another one that gradually faded over a 2 month period. I have others that have faded but have not completely gone away over the past 6 months. I have also been using Retin A cream which helps with the cell turn over. My skin care specialist told me today that the active ingredient In Lytera will actually draw the dark spot to the surface of the skin so sometimes you may have some new ones show up. The Obaji bleaching products active ingredients actually suppress the melanin. I personally prefer to flush it all out and be done with it. I'm sure its more technical with than that's what I heard.
