COTY Airspun Loose Face Powder - Translucent Extra Coverage

I love this product so much, it provides a fantastic lasting finish on your make up without looking like you've lost a fight with the flour cupboard. It gives your makeup a soft finish and doesn't settle into wrinkles as long as applied correctly and smells lovely too. Both translucent and extra coverage are brilliant shade wise so if your very fair skinned than this is a great face powder to use. It last well too due to large size and the only way it could be better is if they changed the packaging for something more eco friendly but other then that I can not fault this product at all its excellent. The only thing that really upsets me is when the price fluctuates so wildly! I useless buy it for £9.99 and it would sometimes creep up to £12.00 but lately its crept up to £20.00! Thats ridiculous! I don't buy it then and won't as its just insane. The only reason I was prepared to spend £10-£12 in the first place was because of the amount of product you get, its 35grams. I mention the amount as I've seen it listed a 65grams but it isn't unless they're weighing the packaging too! The amount of product is 35grams but even then I can't not justify the recent price hikes. Please keep this a reasonable price as its an amazing product that I'd hate to have to do without.

Goes for a long way and takes away the shine

As someone who likes to bake their makeup, but is sick and tired of the cakey, powdery look that can occur with most powders, I bought this on a whim after being recommended to by Tati (GlamLifeGuru) on YouTube. Now, I'm not one to usually spend this much on a powder (my old powder was £3.99!) but I did to see if I could get the coverage, mattification, blendability and non cakeiness I desired.This arrived very quickly (within 3 days if I remember rightly) and came with another amazon order I had purchased at the same time The first thing I noticed was how huge it was! I don't think I will run out of this in the next 5 years, as my old powder was 12g and I've had that for a year and it hasn't run out yet! A++ for the amount of product in here, 65g will keep me going for a long time and in my opinion justifies the £12 price tag.The lid is a pull off lid and not a screw on, which may be a negative to some people, however it fits snugly and I think is good for this type of product as it stops powder flying everywhere. There is a sifter on the top which dispenses a good amount of product- not too much and not too little.The scent of this is rather musky, I wouldn't say it has a floral scent like everyone else says. Maybe thats just my nose though, but the scent is quite strong so its lucky that I like the muskier scents!I applied this in the way I would with a normal bake, heavy application under my eyes and on my nose, then dust off and use the excess as a powder for the rest of my face. I would say the powder gave me a demi matte finish- it wasn't completely matte, but it wasn't shiny either. It didnt look cakey underneath my eyes which is my trouble spot, and it wore beautifully throughout the day. Usually, my makeup rubs off half way through the day but it seemed to work against that happening, and my face didnt get majorly shiny either!Overall, I am really happy with this product, and would advise anyone who is thinking about purchase to go for it (unless you don't like strong scents!)

It’s not life changing, but this is my favourite powder I’ve found so far (apart from Hourglass ambient lighting powders but they’re 6 times as expensive and for finishing not for setting). Keeps oil at bay, relatively blurring.The smell of this is very strong and grandma-ey but it disappates very quickly once on your face so I wouldn’t worry about it unless your skin is very sensitive to fragrance or it gives you headaches.Very finely milled which leaves a very smooth surface on the skin - can imagine it would be good for baking but I haven’t tested this as I prefer a dewy look. If you use a fine dusting like I do it doesn’t look powdery or flat or textured. Helps stop under-eye concealer from creasing.It’s translucent but does have a slightly pale flesh tone to it so I’m not sure how it would work on deep skintones.Top tip: keep the powder puff in it. From experience: if you don’t, too much powder escapes into the top chamber and then it goes everywhere

I NEVER write reviews ... I mean who has the time. HOWEVER. My Mac mineralize powder was running out and I was loathed to spend £26.00 on a new one. I love it but its a lot of money and the product size seems to have shrunk. I tried this out of sheer desperation and it totally paid off! I use a full coverage foundation - Studio fix so the foundation is pretty wet before powder, with my old powder you would get brush marks. With this I used the puff and a brush and the finish is great. Like powder used to be ... slightly blurring but not altering the colour of the make-up underneath. Its midday and so far I have not needed to blot and my face doesn't feel cakey. The product is also big ... like the size of your palm so money wise its an absolute bargain. The downsides?? The powder has an 'old lady' powder smell... like baby powder... I don't find this off putting. I rather see it as nostalgic. The twist lid can be hard to twist off when you have moisturiser and primer on your hands.IF you like a good coverage powder and want cheaper alternatives this is the one for you .

I love this so much, I brought it after I'd seen on social media people praising it, I was actually quite sceptical.The tub arrived and I was Shocked (in a good way) about the size, great value for money, has a lovely scent. I was blown away first time using it, my face looked flawless. I'm thrilled with it.Can be worn over foundation or used alone. I've also used it to bake and set my face it works well and is a good all rounder. I will 100% buy this product again, but I think the one I already have will most certainly last a long time. I don't think I'd use any other powder now.
