Q
The powder will not come off of the pan. It's like it's as hard as a rock. What do I do? I tried scraping of the top layer but no luck. I've used 3 different types of brushes. It's still hard pan. It's brand new, do you have any advice?
Asked by Powderpuff
Verified Reply - Brand ExpertWe're sorry you're having that problem! We recommend using a fluffy brush to rub off the top layer. Then, it becomes very powdery!Was this answer helpful to you

Above the rest!

I love how well this product works to set my foundation. It doesn't crease when I use to set my under eye area which is a HUGE plus for me. I also love that it comes in a convenient compact so I can take it everywhere with me (which I do) to do touch ups throughout the day. I also completely love th...

Not as Great As I'd Hoped

I have super oily skin and only get hormonal breakouts on my chin twice a month; during ovulation and during menstruation. I bought this product to manage my oily skin better when I'm out and about.

this is very light and airy. i don't use the brush that's included, i use the real techniques powder sponge and it delivers a flawless finish. my skin is ultra sensitive and this does not bother me at all.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great product, leaves beautiful finish. I accidentally used a brush with other powder on it when applying the 1st time and it left a residue on the edges of the compact. I can't get it off. So half of the product is unusable. Next time I will choose loose powder.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

my go to powder

I have been using this powder for close to ten years now. every few years I'll try to find a cheaper alternative and then realize nothing compares to this powder. I use it to set my makeup every morning. it's long lasting, doesn't settle in lines, feels like nothing. it has never broken me out ans as I have gotten older it doesn't settle in lines. the brush is wrap but the powder is great and the compact is perfect for traveling.
