theBalm Sexy Mama Anti-Shine Translucent Powder

I won’t fall prey again to any more of this anti-shine powders; I’ve ordered online as well as bought locally all these different anti-shine powders and they all fail so I won’t order anymore of these type of products and I didn’t like the cardboard compact it comes in.

I purchased this due to reviews I read on here that this compact powder had worked for darker skinned gals. Well, I have a light/medium complexion, and this was very ashy on me, and did not blend in well. I love the Physicians Formula CoverToxTen 50 compact powder. I will not purchase this one again. I gave it 2 stars because I think this would work on other gals, but it didn’t work for me. If you’re fair to light skinned, this might work well for you.

This is a great powder for the nose and T-zone that I use to neutralize the sheen from my BB cream. I apply it with a small brush in a thin layer because I find that a minimal amount is just right and a little goes a long way. I wouldn’t recommend it to people with dry skin, as it is made to absorb oil to create a matte finish. I have sensitive skin, and this product doesn’t irritate me in the least bit.

I have oily skin so this is a lifesaver. I have fair skin so this color works for me. Just remember NOT to apply it like a normal powder, layer after layer or it can be seen. I love that it stays closed with the help of a magnet. This is also useful to be because I will put a hair pin or safety pin on the magnet part so they’re easy to find on the go. Expensive but as long as I don’t drop it and break it, then it’s mostly worth it. Only 4 stars because it is expensive AND it comes with no applicator.

My guess…is that this is a very good product for those that need a very absorbing setting powder. I use it very sparingly on my nose/T-zone, and actually can feel it ‘drying’ into my skin when used over other areas. Although I like it, others may really find it a performing product if they need a real absorbing powder.

i like it speacilly for its pratical design to carry on

I have fair skin and this powder is very naturel on me, you cannot even see it at all. It’s good to matify your skin during summer or before photos. Nothing extraordinary for the price, but I’m satisfied with the product in general.

Great price. I love that its translucent, but not too white and doesn’t leave me pale. I love the balm products too!

I liked this product a lot, I just wish it lasted a little longer. I’m thinking if I used a primer it would really extend the life of it. Other than that, cute packaging, arrived on time, does what it says, and didn’t come all broken up. I will be buying this again once I’m out.

This is my all time favorite face powder. It arrived intact and as shown. Love this stuff, better price than the website!
