Reddit mentions of L'Oreal Paris Translucide Naturally Luminous Loose Powder, Translucent, 0.5 Ounce

Ah, no! The colour of translucent powder varies from white to slightly skin coloured. When it goes on the skin, it's practically invisible, hence the name translucent. It works for all skin colours. It doesn't even out the face or anything, it just takes away shine and sets your foundation and concealer.

It's the white jar with the blue print. Now, I know it's white. However, it goes on without any colour. The is one of the powders I am currently using and I really like this stuff! It can be hard to find due to the fact that Ben Nye is a company that exclusively makes stage makeup. If you choose this one, you would have to buy it online or see if your local costume store has it.

Now, I've never found a translucent powder that I didn't like. I never buy high end translucent powder, mostly because I find that ALL translucent powders do a great job, no matter how high end the brand. Here are some others that you can find in the drugstore:

  Now, I tried putting on my under eye concealer and then applying a skin toned powder. I was surprised! It actually looked pretty good! You would definitely have to go light on the powder on the under eye area. Also, you wouldn't be able to do foundation, concealer, and then skin toned powder. The foundation and the powder, it's just too much. Just do concealer and powder if you choose to go this route. However, the powder I was using was a mineral foundation loose powder, which has pretty heavy coverage. If you try this, I would try it out with the products you have; you might have different results.
  
  

I wouldn't mind getting this but honestly I like being surprised, too!

2013 is the year of the snake. I saw a snake out in the yard today. :P

These goofy pictures of my dog make my happy...even if my dog is a jerk and doesn't listen to me sometimes. lol. But really these two are my life and I don't know what I'd do without them. <3

Additionally, this thread makes me happy...but also sad. I don't know. I keep going back to it every month or so since it happened, though, so I must enjoy it, right?

What makes YOU happy? I wanna know! :) And happy anniversary!
