I've had this powder for years and I still reach for it very often, it gives your skin a very subtle glow and helps keep foundation in place. The container is pretty big and it will last FOREVER!!! Now, the effect it has on your skin is very hard to define but I find that when I use it people comment on how good my skin looks, it gives sort of a blurring candle-light effect. I am not a fan of the scent but who cares it goes away really fast. Overall, a fantastic product and something you have to experience for yourself to see how it will work for you.
