Advantages: Nice cooling effect: lovely in summer, Makes your skin glow, Non-cakey feel

Disadvantages: Price, Little brush is a bit fiddly, Can be too glittery if applied with a heavy hand

Liquid magic is a pretty unusual powder; instead of being dry and matt like nearly all other powders, liquid magic is moist on application, I liken it to being sprayed with a very very very fine mist of water when brushing it on. It's not cakey at all and feels as if you're wearing no powder at all; so if you are a first time powder wearer, perhaps you should try this.

The powder itself looks a little pink on first glance, but when you apply it, it is translucent. I have yellow-based asian skin and I don't find it pink-tinged at all. It is a little 'sparkly' but if you avoid the oily parts of your face, it has a nice effect. I usually brush it across my eyelids, cheeks, neck and sometimes a little over my ears (if I wear my hair up). However, make sure you use it minimally, otherwise you'll look like a 5 year-old playing with glitter!

The container is quite large, so you get quite a bit for what you paid (even though the price is a steep considering, its only a powder and 90% of it's water) but if you don't ensure that the lid is screwed on well, I assume alot of the water content will evaporate. Clipped into the lid of the container is a slide-out brush. The brush isn't too bad, but the bristles are a little short and could be slightly longer (perhaps with a shorter handle) so the plastic handle doesn't scrape across your face. Overall the packaging isn't too bad.
