By far the most amazing powder I have ever used. And I am not exaggerating when I say this. Stila has thought of every little detail when it comes to this powder. From the actual product to the genius packaging!
I will start with the product. When I opened it, the first thing I thought was that there was no way this would suit my skin tone at all. It look like it would suit someone with very fair skin. Bt don't let that fool you. This powder applies translucently but with a slight tint which sort of adjusts to your skin tone. I used the Stila #21 brush to apply this powder but you could use any powder brush. I applied it over a tinted moisturizer first and my face looked flawless. All my oily areas had disappeared and the dry areas looked moisturized. Stila has managed to find the perfect balance with this product. My skin itself felt smooth, almost velvet like once I had applied it. I then applied it with absolutely no other product on my face and my skin still looked good but obviously i did not have any proper coverage.
On to the packaging. You receive quite a bit of produce this product (12gr) which is good since this powder retails for R295, which is pricey. The packing has a lid that flips open and closed which is so much more convenient than the screw top powders. I don't have to worry about not closing it properly because you hear a click once the powder is shut. No more powder spilling everywhere because you didn't screw the lid on properly! Once opened, the powder has a sifter so you can choose how much product you want to come out. The best part about this is that you can turn a dial and close the sifter. So when your powder is rolling around in your bag, it won't let excess powder into the top part of the container! The product also comes with a mirror which I don't find helpful because it gets dirty way too quickly. If i could keep it clean, it would be incredibly helpful because it is really big.
