COTY AIRSPUN Face Powder, Natural Tone Loose Face Powder, Naturally Neutral, 2.3 Oz

This loose powder works incredibly well on my skin. It’s very soft, lightweight, and blends beautifully without looking heavy or patchy. It sets my makeup all day and keeps my face smooth, fresh, and shine-free. I love that it has a talc-free formula and doesn’t clog my pores. It works perfectly for baking, under eyes, and to blur texture. The finish looks natural but still flawless. A little goes a long way! The packaging is generous, and the product lasts a long time. For the price and quality, it’s amazing. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a smooth, long-lasting makeup look.

Allow me to define the word, "irony" in a whimsical little anecdote I'll call, "Aging Really Sucks". I know that most of the women who read this will know what I'm trying to say. One day you're loving life, turning heads and pretending to bitterly complain to your best friend about cat-calls and unwanted attention from strangers passing by. Inevitably, as we all do, you get older. Now- I'm strictly speaking about appearances, the surface - as shallow as that might seem, it's a reality. Time carries on and the NEXT day, you're walking down the street and it's like you're invisible. It's heart-breaking. So, if you have the means, and even if you don't, you are willing to spend crazy loot to reverse that process and get back some of that glory in the flower. I have spent an embarrassing amount on face powder because I love the "matte" look - the light clean, even surface of a beautiful face. I have spent more on this finishing touch than I'm even willing to admit! But, somehow even the most expensive, the most highly rated powder wound up settling in my pores, bunching in the creases next to my nose and making me miserable. I leave the house thinking I look fresh, only to look in the mirror a few hours later and start rubbing the stuff around to even things out. I wind up taking most of it off and looking even worse! So I bought another chubby pot of highly-rated, grossly expensive powder and tried to "bake" the stuff on my face. It's all the rage, right? Now ask me if it worked. So, I re-read the instructions, bought the kabuki, tried it again - and the end result was still the same. Ah yes, back to irony. Out of sheer frustration I buy Coty Airspun face powder because I remember my mother using it when I was a little girl. That memory led to this though.... let's get down to basics and see what happens. Coty Airspun is simplicity- it doesn't come in 50 different shades, has one purpose, doesn't require a special brush, need time to "bake" or have to be used with other products in tandem to work most effectively. Wouldn't you know, it's Coty that winds up staying in place, not sinking into the pores on my nose, remains even - light and dry - and gives me the look I've been craving. This weekend, I thanked a man who held the door open for me at my local gas station and he said, "I always hold the door open for beautiful women". I thought I was going to fall out. But I have to admit.... it felt pretty good. Stop spending a ton of money on powder for your face. For the price of a "Americano Grande" at your local bodega, you can have the BEST FACIAL POWDER EVER.

This product works really well for setting foundation and baking. I am olive skin toned I purchased this in naturally neutral so I could have a little more deepness to the powder. It does have a scent to It. It isn’t bad but it is strong at first and lingers for little bit and then eventually fades away. But the smell doesn’t affect the application or result of the powder. It is a wonderful setting powder and lasts all day. I work 9+ hours and it holds up.

Scent: SCENTED. If you're not sensitive to scents, it might not bother you, but I usually buy everything unscented, so it was way too strong for me. Packaging: It comes with a puff (not a velour puff - it mimics a puff of cotton), has a sifter that is taped to the container on 4 areas (don't take the tape off or you'll end up with a huge mess), and the lid isn't a screw top (don't travel with it, drop it, etc.). Powder: I'm light skinned, about NC20ish, and the Naturally Neutral was a good match for me. The powder is very finely milled (don't inhale or smell it close up) and isn't long wearing, and can't beat the price. I have normal-combo skin with an oily T-zone, and after a long day (over 10 hours), it was visible and caked up in many places. However, for the price, it's pretty dang good for an easy day (running a few errands, watching TV, lounging, etc.). For me, it'd be a 2-3 star item, but that's because I'm sensitive to scents, don't want to be careful with the packaging, and don't touch up my make up throughout the day (low maintenance). For the average person that doesn't mind scented products and doesn't mind a touch up, I think it would work out great for him/her. Also, the price is great. I rely heavily on customer's review for most of my purchases, so I write reviews on items I have opinions on. Also, I purchase all items I write reviews on Amazon with my money.

Idk but I like the smell, it reminds me of my grandmother. She used this powder when I was a little kid. It makes a really great setting powder however as its really light. I also set my undereye makeup with it. I threw out the puff it comes with and just dump a tiny bit into the lid, dip a make up brush into it, tap off the excess and dab it onto my face with the brush in a circular motion. It holds my makeup in place without being too heavy and cakey. I love that it's so inexpensive and it lasts a long time because theres so much and a little bit goes a long way. To me it's a great dupe for the It cosmetics bye bye pores translucent powder which is what I bought this to replace. I'm still using the powder I bought here on Amazon last May and have plenty left.
