    I purchased this powder for the first time in 1991 when it was in a dark blue square case with gold stripe on the side. Actually, this was my very first (compact) powder ever. And it was match made...

    I seriously wish EL would bring this back! It was the best powder I have ever laid my hands on. Light. Reflective. Easy to use / touch up. But of course they discontinued it. The two new pressed...

    I’ve been using this for some 15 years now and have occasionally fallen for other more hip brands like Bare Minerals, LM and Halo But always returned to this. It does all that it claims and then...

    I got translucent and it is yes, so translucent that I can only see a matte effect using it. I bought this as a setting powder to set my makeup. It seemed ok at first, it is pressed and isn't messy...

    I am anti-powder--loose, pressed, whatever. When the Bare Minerals craze came out and I bought some, I didn't see what all the fuss was about and wanted my money back! But the Estee Lauder...

    My friend recommended me this powder. I use it alone even I think it is made to put over foundation. I really like the velvety finish of it. It also gives me a bit of coverage with the 03 medium on...

    This is very expensive (31USD), but worth every penny. I have had my compact for over a year and I'm barely half way though it. It makes matte foundation look 'skin-like', and makes it last all day...

    I got this to go with the Lucidity foundation, which I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This seems to be good, but it might be the foundation that makes it seem that way?

    This is an average powder. It's neither amazing nor terrible. I only bought it because at $12 a refill, it's quite affordable and I really wanted an Estee Lauder collectible compact....

    I used this in translucent and while it is actually translucent (doesn't change color of brow corrector or blush), I don't feel it's "luminous" as Lauder claims. It wasn't that chalky but it seemed...
