I have this powder in the shade Translucent and I have been using it for months now and it just won't get any less. This product will last you forever. I swear it's magic or something. I use it for baking and setting and it works wonderfully.
I only wish the powder was a tad finer. It is a great product for the drugstore but I would prefer it to be a little finer and a little softer. It can also look quite heavy on my skin as I have drier skin, if I don't set it with a setting spray.
I have used this powder since it first came out in South Africa and I love it. Having oily skin means that my makeup can go from glam to oil slick within an hour, depending on the weather at the time. However, with this powder, I can keep looking fabulous from the time of application until the time I need to remove my makeup.
I love that it absorbs the excess oil on my face, but doesn't alter my look at all.
I have repurchased this powder so many times! I love this for baking under the eyes, setting concealer or making sure my entire base lasts all day (especially when it's hot) Only downside I have is that I don't really like the smell but it doesn't bother me too much as you can't smell it after applying! Works on many different skin tones, definitely recommend you try it out. You get SO much powder as well, lasts forever!
So I've been using Yardley for a while now and i have to admit that the powder isn't as bad, it has an amazing smell and it helps mattify my foundation perfectly, its nice and translucent when dusting over the fact but also when using to bake it gives you a brightening effect.. Would highly recommend from my side
Even though this product is translucent, I find that when I use it under my eyes to set my concealer, the white shows in photos and I look spooky. Other than that, I have no other problems, works well on my skin apart from my eyes, and helps with the oiliness.
This powder is great for baking and it’s very lightweight. I do however find it to be ashy sometimes and having to find myself spritzing some facial mist or setting spray to take away the ashiness. I’m happy it doesn’t cause flash back though.
Genuinely this product has become my fav. My concealer creases quite easily, however using this powder to set my under eye concealer has left me crease free. I don't really use it anywhere else but my under eye.
Con: I'm not really a fan of the sponge that it comes with. Doesn't allow for easy application
However still a fan of this product, it gets the job done
I have been using this powder for almost 4 years now, and I have to say there is just something about it that keeps having me come back to it. I've tried a view other brands, but this one just stays the best. It applies really easily and thanks to the sifter, it doesn't make a huge mess. The price point is quite good, but the colour range is not really sufficient. I use the lightest shade, so that doesn't really bother me.
The only negative I gave, is that the powder tends to emphasize dark circles under the eyes - it is not really suitable for baking the under eyes, as it makes your skin seem grey and lifeless! On other ares of the face, the powder gets the job done though.
I recently purchased the Yardley loose translucent powder in the shade buff. I was skeptical at first, as I've never used a loose powder before. I found it a bit messy, especially when applying the powder using the sponge it comes with, so I prefer using a kabuki brush. The shade buff is definitely lighter than my skin color, so I was worried that it would leave my face looking ashy, but it didn't, instead it minimized the shine my liquid foundation gave me and also created a smooth finish to my make up. My foundation also lasted much longer than usual. You can also use this powder for baking, although I haven't tried it yet. I purchased mine from Edgars for R149,99, but they are available at Clicks and Dischem as well.
Im not a big powder kind of girl but my foundation that I really like matches my shade very well and fills in my pores beautifully is giving a very dewy look. I am a fan of dewy but not this much so I decide to try out a new powder and wanted a translucent one because as I said I like the shade of my foundation and dont want that to change.
When I tried the Yadley loose translucent powder I was so happy that I finally got my foundation to sit the way I want it to. The shade hasnt changed at all, even though the powder is a pinky kind of shade, my foundation color looks the same. It has created such a beautiful, matt appearance and it lasts all day. I do have dry skin though and if I dont put face cream on and prime the skin the powder can make my skin a little flaky, but I always prep my skin so I dont come across that problem.
I highly recommend this powder if you want a perfectly matt face. I got mine from Clicks but I did see it at Dischem as well.
Great for setting foundation and under the eyes so it doesn't crease. It feels great and not powdery on my face. It is translucent on my skin tone but I don't know how "translucent" it will be on darker skin tones. It is great for the price you pay
I sometimes struggle with rather oily skin but ever since I started to use this powder it really covers up the oily complexion. It helps to set my foundation for most of the day, not like other loose powders that only lasts a few days. This irritant-free formulation is gentle on my skin, and provides a beautiful matte finish.
I usually just lightly brush it all over my skin with a large brush to ensure a shine-free, matte complexion.
