Advantages: Good for covering dark circles and providing a base

Disadvantages: Can collect on the neckline

I've a confession. Before buying this, I've NEVER used pressed powder before. But, after having to get new make-up , I saw the pretty little compact and had to pick it up. And what a difference it has made!

It comes in a range of shades, meaning it's easy to find one that goes with any skin tone. I'm usually quite hard to buy make up for, as I have a bit of a peculiar skin tone, but this seems to have been made for me.

Application is just as easy, get a big blusher brush and sweep it all over your face. The powder is really usefull for covering dark circles under the eyes (of which I am a sufferer) and is a really good base on the lips for applying lipstick. The powder blends very easily, and cannot be seen easily on the skin. It's also perfect for putting make up on over, as my blush and eyeshadow last longer on the skin after using the powder.

A little hint is that it can be very powdery and get onto clothes, so it's best ot put this on before putting on a dark top, or to put something on the neckline to stop it

Summary: Good and not very costly. Lasts a long time
