Airspun Coty Loose Face Powder, Translucent, Pack of 1

This Coty Airspun setting powder never disappoints! It is finely milled and lightweight, leaving the skin with a smooth, airbrushed, matte finish. It sets foundation perfectly and controls shine all day without looking cakey or heavy. ​The translucent shade blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast, making it amazing for setting under-eye concealer or baking. Plus, the amount of product you get for the price is incredible—one tub lasts for months! ​If you want a budget-friendly powder that performs just as well as high-end brands, this is an absolute must-have in your makeup routine.

I really like this powder. I am presently suffering - for the second time - with a bout of post-menopausal polycystic acne. 52 years old what the freakin’ freak?!! Anyway, I digress. I tried Proactive (WASTE) and settled in on Skin and Pharmacy Advanced Acne Therapy Kit from CVS - they used to sell it here but no longer. It works WONDERS, along with some oral antibiotics and topical tea tree oil. Why am I telling you all of this, you ask?🙂 My face is a flippin’ mess right now. And I can’t use any foundation on it. But I’ve had a REALLY bad past six months and darn it, I want to wear makeup again!! I never tried this product before, and it was on top of all the other powders and potions I had in the drawer... I just wanted something to make my face look a little less gross, you know??😞 So I applied the powder and I got the most surprising result - I mean, it gave me such fantastic coverage!!!! 🤓SURE - the pustules and blemishes were still THERE - however, they were so much less noticeable!!! As I looked at myself in the mirror, tears welled up in my eyes...it felt so GOOD to feel like I could go out and not have people stare at me!! My sister knows what I have been through with my skin (BTW - this acne treatment worked the first time I used it). So I sent a pic of me to her and she was like “D*MN, girl! Look how good your face looks - what did you do!!!??!” I know this is an awfully long way of telling you how fantastic a product is....the smell is nice. It’s a very fine powder, not like some powders that end up in little balls your brush won’t pick up. Plus, more importantly, there is no dust flying out of it as you start to pick it up with your brush. This is definitely a good buy!👍🏼😁

I snagged this powder in two versions (translucent and translucent extra coverage) for under $3 apiece. Even the usual $6 price tag is an absolute steal. It works very well, and with 2.3oz per canister you get at least 2-3x more than what's offered by most brands. I have fair, combination skin with neutral to cool undertones, and the start of some fine lines around my eyes. No major discoloration or blemish issues, just the occasional spot. I apply this lightly with a velour puff over moisturizer and SPF, or occasionally over a BB cream. It evens out my skintone, mattifies my T-zone, and doesn't amplify my lines or break me out. It also provides a little bit of an airbrushing effect, so IMO it really does work as a light foundation if you're not looking to cover anything major. Really oily faces would probably do best with the extra coverage. My combo skin does fine with the translucent, but I tend to prefer the extra coverage; it's not noticeably heavier and I think it mattifies just a little better. Unfortunately, the scent is so strong that it can be overwhelming. I was honestly a little taken aback when I first opened the package. After using it daily for a few weeks, though, and generally with a pretty light hand, I found that it grew on me. Also be aware that the #1 ingredient is talc, if that is of concern to you.

I remember using this powder the first time I ever tried makeup when I was younger so when I found it on Amazon I couldn't resist buying it. I purchase this powder in the shade translucent and the shipping was really fast. I can't speak for it by itself because I did purchase this along with two other items and receive them all the same time but it was sealed really well with a protective plastic bag around it and also a plastic seal around it. This powder is great for setting your makeup especially concealer but it does have its downfalls. This powder leaves your face feeling soft and set but it definitely leaves you with a matte finish and like any powder if you use too much it will make your face look cakey. So when using this I would recommend not using a lot and if so definitely using a hydrating setting spray or with a dewy Foundation. I also like using this powder by itself when I just have to quickly run to the store or don't feel like putting on a lot of makeup it's great for blurring your pores and giving you the look of having makeup on without actually wearing a lot of makeup. One thing that everybody should know is that it does have a strong smell to it I personally love the way it smells and that's the one thing I remember when having it while I was younger was that I love the way it smells but Others May find the smell too strong so that would be something to take into consideration before purchasing another thing to think about is that I noticed with this I get really bad flashback when taking pictures so if you plan on using this for sentting your makeup for school pictures or anything involving pictures I would definitely think twice about using this because it does have such a bad flashback to it. Other than that I absolutely love the product and will continue to wear it every time I need to set my makeup or powder my face. I would definitely recommend to anybody trying to find an affordable setting powder.

Allow me to define the word, "irony" in a whimsical little anecdote I'll call, "Aging Really Sucks". I know that most of the women who read this will know what I'm trying to say. One day you're loving life, turning heads and pretending to bitterly complain to your best friend about cat-calls and unwanted attention from strangers passing by. Inevitably, as we all do, you get older. Now- I'm strictly speaking about appearances, the surface - as shallow as that might seem, it's a reality. Time carries on and the NEXT day, you're walking down the street and it's like you're invisible. It's heart-breaking. So, if you have the means, and even if you don't, you are willing to spend crazy loot to reverse that process and get back some of that glory in the flower. I have spent an embarrassing amount on face powder because I love the "matte" look - the light clean, even surface of a beautiful face. I have spent more on this finishing touch than I'm even willing to admit! But, somehow even the most expensive, the most highly rated powder wound up settling in my pores, bunching in the creases next to my nose and making me miserable. I leave the house thinking I look fresh, only to look in the mirror a few hours later and start rubbing the stuff around to even things out. I wind up taking most of it off and looking even worse! So I bought another chubby pot of highly-rated, grossly expensive powder and tried to "bake" the stuff on my face. It's all the rage, right? Now ask me if it worked. So, I re-read the instructions, bought the kabuki, tried it again - and the end result was still the same. Ah yes, back to irony. Out of sheer frustration I buy Coty Airspun face powder because I remember my mother using it when I was a little girl. That memory led to this though.... let's get down to basics and see what happens. Coty Airspun is simplicity- it doesn't come in 50 different shades, has one purpose, doesn't require a special brush, need time to "bake" or have to be used with other products in tandem to work most effectively. Wouldn't you know, it's Coty that winds up staying in place, not sinking into the pores on my nose, remains even - light and dry - and gives me the look I've been craving. This weekend, I thanked a man who held the door open for me at my local gas station and he said, "I always hold the door open for beautiful women". I thought I was going to fall out. But I have to admit.... it felt pretty good. Stop spending a ton of money on powder for your face. For the price of a "Americano Grande" at your local bodega, you can have the BEST FACIAL POWDER EVER.

I always love and use this product.

I purchased this because I was on the hunt for a cheaper alternative to my Laura Mercier Translucent Powder. The three things that I look for in a translucent powder are: 1) it doesn't flash back at all, 2) it is finely milled, and 3) it will last all day (or about 10 hours). I gave it 3 stars because of the packaging, smell, and longevity of the powder. I heard amazing reviews on this through amazon and youtube so I thought I should give this a try in hope that it would be my new found favorite. Packaging: My initial thought on the powder when I first opened it was that, it is messy. The top cover isn't a twist on/off, you just pull/pop off the lid which can sometimes make the powder fly everywhere and it then makes it inconvenient for me if I want to go traveling with it. I'd have to find another container to put it in or I'd have to tape it around because I wouldn't want to risk it opening up in my bag and spilling everywhere if anything were to happen. Smell: The second thing that I noticed right off the bat was the smell. I'm not one to be picky with scent, I sometimes enjoy when there is a scent however the Coty AirSpun Loose Face Powder has a very intense smell in my opinion. I actually try to avoid using the powder because of it. I thought maybe after a couple minutes my nose would adjust to the scent but it lingers for a while and it's become too much for me. Because my face is fairly sensitive and acne prone, I worry that the scent or whatever ingredient is put in here to give it that smell, may break me out. For the most part it hasn't but I haven't consistently used this powder long enough to know whether it does or not. Longevity: As for the longevity, I would say that it is okay. It holds for about 4 hours I'd say? I only really use powder to set my under eye concealer from creasing. I don't use a thick concealer, and whenever I use this product by the time I get home from school which is about 4 hours of wear time, I notice the outside corners of my eye have concealer bunched up. I could easily pat it out with my finger but that sometimes removes the product or requires me to reapply and I don't prefer to carry any makeup on me when I go to school for only 4 hours. I would also like to mention that I have normal to dry skin but have minimal to normal oils on my T zone by the time I come home from school. When I use this product on my T zone, I still notice a lot of oil when I come home. I would say that this powder is very finely milled and it does not flash back at all so I do appreciate that a lot. On a side note, because I was somewhat disappointed with the powder mainly because of longevity and smell, I purchased the RCMA No Color Powder and that has been my go to.

Love the smell
