Barely Alive Translucent Loose Setting Powder

I have great news!!! I have FINALLY found a powder that rivals the old Givenchy loose powder that was reformulated! Dare I say that it might even be better!!! 😲😲😲😲 I’ve only worn it twice so far, but OMG I am blown away! I have tried every single powder under the sun trying to find a replacement for the old Givenchy formulation, and nothing has even came close. But I seriously think this one might even be better! Shocked I know!!!

I have been using the Barely Blushing setting powder for over a month. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best face product that I have ever purchased. I am 68 years old. I have large pores and very patchy spotting on my face from being the daughter of a redhead. I have spent most of my life never going without makeup. My pale blotchy face is covered in dark brown freckles and translucent skin that exposes veins and dark circles under my eyes. I have never found any foundation product that would blur my pores, cover my blotches and reduce the appearance of fine lines until I used this product. The best part is that it creates a stunningly beautiful glow AND it does not settle into pores and fine lines after a few hours of wear like every other product on the market. I cannot believe how much the faint pink tint brightens your face like you just had a facial. I'd say even better than a facial. Like all Melt products it has staying power. I just cant find anything wrong with this perfect powder. I don't even wear a foundation under this powder, most of the time, because just like the Melt shadows and lipsticks, it is pure magic. I know i am old but I feel like I erase 30 years off my face when I use this product. I want to thank the girls at Melt so very much for putting a spring back in my step!

I have been using this daily for the last few months and I'm so impressed! My skin is a mess right now due to medication changes so I'm wearing more base makeup. This powder locks everything in and melts into the skin! My job has me going from freezers to humid environments and my makeup stays put so much better than it did before using this powder. I am very pale so I'm not sure how this product would look on other skin tones, but expansion needs to happen because EVERYONE needs this!

I bought this after the Black Friday sale, so prob beginning of Dec. I love the way it blurs... BUT, I am extremely fair and it does change the color of my skin after my foundation is on. I do not use it right under my eyes. I use it on my nose, forehead, and under my contour on my jaw. I know it says translucent, it is mostly. I'm usually the fairest foundation shade, unless there's like 60 shades and one of them is almost white like albino white (I hope that's not offensive, I don't mean it to be), then I'm like the 2nd or 3rd fairest shade. IDK how anyone more fair than I am would wear this. I saw the video of one of the owners of the brand (I think she's an owner) wear this powder and it looked like it was translucent on her and I figured she is close to my skin tone, so it should work for me, Maybe if I used it on my entire face, it wouldn't be noticeable, but I have dry skin and only powder my T zone very lightly and my jaw so my makeup doesn't transfer. But I don't powder my cheeks so that is where I can tell the diff in color on my skin.
