   It’s been a long while that I’m looking for a good and cheap translucent powder.most famous ones are not available where I live and Flormar is the only widely available option but I wanted to try a new one.I was planning to order online RCMA No Color Powder (it’s 23 USD here) but I suddenly saw this Golden Rose Translucent Finishing Powder in a local cosmetic shop.it was priced 7 USD so I didn’t hesitate to buy it
   I like it’s packaging.it comes in a simple,classic loose powder jar,nothing cute or luxurious but it doesn’t look cheap,isn’t bulky or messy and I love that it’s refillable.it’s travel friendly as far as a loose powder can be and easy to use.it has a screw on lid,after opening that there’s a white,plastic plate with holes on it that covers the jar.it’s easy to pour the right amount of the powder through the holes in it’s lid,then I can dip a brush or sponge in the lid..it comes with a puff sponge but I prefer to use a triangle-shaped sponge or brush to apply it
   The powder is white colored,soft and finely milled.even though I have fair skin,a lot of translucent powders leave a white cast under my eyes(yeah I have dark cycles) but not this one.it really has no color after I blend it,doesn’t look dry,cakey or too powdery and instantly mattifies my skin and gives it a velvety,air brushed look
   I have dry skin and a lot of powders look too dry on my skin and refuse to sit and blend properly.I was relieved to see it’s not the case here.it doesn’t look like I have anything powdery on my skin.I usually don’t apply it to my whole face as I look dewy,luminous makeup.I just put it on my lids and under my eyes to set my concealer(rarely use it for baking) and prevent my concealer from creasing and my mascara from smudging.my brow has a very sparse tail (almost no tail) as I had shaved it and it’s not fully grown yet.I powder that spot before drawing my brow and it helps my brow pencil to stay in place.I also dust a little of it on my nose,sometimes on my forehead too.I have dry skin as mentioned before but my Tzone is normal.applying rich moisturizers makes my t zone shine after an hour and my foundation fades on my nose,not with this powder though.my sister who has combo-oily skin has tried it once and was surprised to see her foundation looked nice and matte much longer than usual.
   It’s only con is that it has awful flashback in photos,it’s not a deal breaker for me as most of my photographs are selfies and my phone’s front camera doesn’t have flash anyway
   All in all I’m very satisfied with it and will repurchase.there’s 11 grams of product in jar,not much but It’s good considering it’s price.if you’re looking for an affordable, Talc-free translucent powder give it a try
