Wonderfully Light

The colour I tried was Translucent Light - 2. This is a light weight powder that you can wear with or without foundation. I couldn’t detect any scent, so I see no reason why this wouldn’t be good for those with sensitivities.

I found application using both a brush or the supplied sponge produced equally decent results. I like the design of the compact because it’s one of the easiest ones to open. Overall, I like it and see no reason why you wouldn’t either.

Blends well, does the job, but the puff is flimsy

This is not the best translucent powder I’ve used, but it’s far from the worst. Given that it’s a drugstore brand and the pricing reflects that, it’s pretty good! I prefer colourless translucent powders and found this one was a tad too dark for me, on par with having a light tan.

However, I was quite impressed with how well it blended. While my skin looked a tiny bit powdery, it didn’t sit on top of the skin or catch on the hairs and look awful, like some I’ve tried in this price range. The compact comes with a mirror and a puff (which does fit inside).

Speaking of the puff, that’s my one big complaint about this product. It works well (though I prefer a bigger puff, it’s small to fit in the compact), but it’s far too flimsy. After applying, I washed the puff, like I usually do, but when I pulled on it a little to squeeze out the water, the whole thing ripped apart.

My recommendation would be for Covergirl to strengthen the stitching on the applicator so this doesn’t occur, but you can always just use your own brush or puff. Overall, it’s a good powder at a fair price point.

I've bought two of these so far, so it can't be that bad!
Not the best powder ever, but pretty good for what it's supposed to do.
Be careful not to apply too much as it will give a very cakey look!
