Mineral Bronzing Powder

I have very fair skin and was a bit nervous when i ordered this. The online picture make this look like golden copper - but it has a brick red undertone in person. I LOVE stila so i had to believe it would be amazing - and it is. It is made with 24k gold so it is shimmery but not glittery.

I use it all over and/or just as a highlighter and it never cakes or settles - and i have oily / combo skin. I did not give 5 stars because even though the case seals tight and the powder compartment opens and closes shuts - and there is a great mirror - if you shake out too much product, you can't get it back inside the compartment. Therefore the next time you open the compact, you will have some loose powder to deal with. I just remember to give the lid a gentle tap to shake the excess powder down, away from the mirrored top. I use my brush to gather that excess powder, which is what I apply before unlocking the shaker-style top and accessing more powder.

It does not come with a brush or puff, so be prepared with you own product. @$34 I feel it is an investment - I don't use it that often as a facial powder - I dust it over my lotioned arms, legs and highlight my collar bone and cleavage. I Like the powder form for this type of application because I have more control of product. I probably won't buy it again, I think it is overpriced.
