This is the best shine control powder I have ever found. And you only need a TINY TINY amount (because it's that good). Using this over makeup, I can make it at least 6 hours without needing to blot or reapply. I also use it alone over sunscreen and moisturizer to just mattify trouble spots. It's perfect.

As you can see in the picture, it's quite white; and can be a little opaque if you use too much. Rather than using the puff, I recommend using a powder brush to make sure the application is sheer and doesn't leave a white cast.

It smells like rosemary and mint--very woodsy, but still clean. Because of the silica content, it CAN read as quite shiny and white in flash photographs and bright lighting--so be aware if using for an event including photography. In regular sunlight, however, it's not a problem.
