Review on πŸ’„ Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Translucent Pressed Powder - Professional Quality Makeup, 0.30 oz by Lauren Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Translucent color is darker than it should be

*Edit: Photos were added to show how much darker the translucent powder listed here is than what you might find elsewhere. I also took samples of each along with translucent correcting powder for comparison. You can combine the darkest and the lightest to get a mid-tone if Revain is your only option. Transculent is too dark, I actually bought this as an extra compact for my purse so I could keep the original in my makeup bag and it's darker than the compact I've bought elsewhere. The one I bought here says it's transculent, but it's almost as dark as transculent light (the color names of this product are confusing, transculent is lighter than transculent light). my t-zone was too light and i thought maybe i can still use this color for such occasions. but it's still pretty dark and it looked weird when I tried it, almost like using my light bronzer all over my body but not in a flattering way. You may be able to use the lightest color if used with a doctor's corrective formula. Translucent powder is very, very light. I think the lighter compact (which should be the same color as the lightest color here) I bought I ordered from a reputable pharmacy if you're pale like me, but the corrective powder in Transculent is too light, to apply all over the face and works best as a matte highlight or to brighten under the eyes. I will try to add photos later to show the color difference.
