I wanted a powder to do a light cover over my liquid foundation to set it and make it matte and also for touch ups throughout the day. I love this powder, it isn't too heavy, it is probably medium coverage and I apply a light coat with a brush in the morning over my liquid foundation. I will say I do not like the puff that comes with it, I threw that away and use a round makeup sponge instead for touch ups. Originally posted on www.bobbibrown.co.uk
