Hello beauties! How
is your week going on so far? Yesterday I got a little panic-y moment because
my puppy, Marnie, was not feeling great and I needed to take him to the vet!
Thankfully, he is now better and it wasn’t anything serious but it really
scared me a lot! On a brighter note,
today I feel really inspired to do a review of my current favorite powder,
which I use pretty much all the time. If you’ve read my April Favorites you’ll know that I’m talking about the Too Faced Primed & Poreless Powder ($30
for 4.5g. / 0,16 Oz.), which I adore! <3
With the upcoming
hot months I figured that I want to invest is a really light powder, which will
look quite natural and will minimize the appearance of my pores, which is a
must for me! With that being said, I did some research online and stumbled
across the Primed & Poreless translucent
powder. It sounded like the exact product that I was looking for so I
eventually went to Sephora and got it! I was a bit hesitant because I’m usually
not a huge fan of translucent powders, but I decided to go out of my comfort
zone and experiment a bit more!
The first thing
that immediately caught my eye when I open the little paper bow saw the
gorgeous packaging! It is this beautiful sturdy jar with lovely baby pink lid,
which has the Too Faced logo embedded on it! It has a nice vintage-y feel to it
and it is the prettiest vanity accessory! <3 When you open the lid there is a
plastic stopper over the vents and when you unscrew it you just tap out the
desired quantity of powder and it is ready to use! I’m having some problems
using loose powders and sadly it gets a bit messy sometimes but I’m working on
it haha!
While I was
flipping through online reviews on this little gem, I noticed that this
translucent powder is supposed to be used both as a primer and as a setting
powder. On the jar it says “ Skin Smoothing Priming Powder & Finishing Veil”.
What? I’d never heard of such double-duty powder and it seemed quite bizarre to
me. What it is though is that you can dust a little bit of the powder under
your foundation and it serves as a primer – it creates an even, smooth canvas and
minimizes the appearance of pores. Also, you can set your makeup with it and it
will conceal your poses as well and will help your makeup to stay in place the
whole day. If I’m being completely honest, I feel like this powder works really
well only with mineral makeup on top, because with liquid it tends to be too drying
I feel like. However, it leaves my skin so smooth and soft to the touch, which
I love! (: For liquid foundation primer I still adore the liquid version of
this powder – Too Faced Primed &
Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer. (: Oh, also on days that I don’t feel
like wearing much makeup I just apply some powder on my freshly cleansed and
moisturized face and it makes my pores invisible and evens out my skin tone a
bit.
The Primed & Poreless loose powder comes
in only one shade – a white vanilla kind of color. However, it has “adaptable
skills” and it basically adjusts to any skin tone. So if you have darker skin,
fear not – it won’t look white on you, it will easily adapt to your skin! (: If
you are looking for some coverage in this powder though, this sadly won’t
happen because it goes on transparently and doesn’t provide any
coverage, its purpose is just different.
I really love the
formulation of this powder! I am so impressed by how finely milled this powder
is! It is seriously SO fine, which feels so luxurious and silky on the skin! It
minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines beautifully and really sets my
makeup for hours! It looks super natural (it’s talk-free too) and doesn’t look
cakey or flakey at all. It also gives a lovely satin finish and I feel like it
brightens up my complexion! (: Ahh forgot to mention that I have normal skin
but I think that this powder will work even better on people with oily skin
because it really keeps the oils at bay! I also wanted to mention that I
haven’t had any problems with this product; it hasn’t broken my out or anything
like that! The Primed & Poreless powder applies super easily and goes on so
smoothly! I feel like the best brush to use this product with is the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. The
combination of the powder and the brush gives a lovely airbrushed finish, which
I always love! Be careful not to use too much product though, because with this
powder a little goes a log way!
In a nutshell, I am
really loving this loose powder! It minimizes the appearance of my pores, it is
extremely lightweight, which is great for the summer, it sets my makeup for the
day and it banishes the oils! Overall a fab product and if all that is not
enough for you – it is also vegan-friendly
and paraben-free! Also, if you are
not a huge fan of translucent powders in general, Too Faced introduced a
pressed version of the Primed &
Poreless for Spring 2013! (:
Thank you so much
for reading lovelies! Have you tried this powder before? Which is your favorite
translucent powder?
Lots of love,
Andrea

Your review made me excited to try this :D I've never used a Too Faced product before - shame on me - but this seems really worth it! I have dry skin though so I'm a little scared it would be to "drying" or matte for my skin. Great post!
