Light enough coverage to add concealer on top, but strong enough to not melt away in 100 degree temperatures. Evens out tired skin beautifully!

The best blot powder ever. It’s enough coverage to wear alone for shine control, but light enough to wear over foundation or concealer. Keeps my sweaty Arizona oily skin at bay and comes in several shades for all skin tones.
