Corn Silk loose Translucent Powder original satin

Hiya lovelies,

When I went to the benefit event last week a got talking to a lovely lady called Sarah from slstevo and she recommended a face powder called corn silk now I haven't heard of this before and she explained that you can get in boots and it's placed with the skincare not make up so when I went to boots and had a look i found it where she said it would be there was a pressed powder and a loose one i chose the loose one now it's a little bit pricey at £8.17 but it sounded like just the thing I was after.

The packaging it a little bit old ladyish but it's simple when you open it up it has a face puff for application and a filter like most loose powders have it is slightly scented and it smells really familiar and I carnt put my finger on where I have smelled it before.

The product it's self doesn't contain talc it contains mica and crushed walnut shell powder, it's a very light beige colour and once applied its translucent. On the box it says ' Contains a unique, patented walnut ingredient to control shine for a longer lasting, fresh complexion it balances skin tone without clogging pores' it is suitable for all skin types and is Dermatologically tested

I have used this product for only 4 days and I love it, it is translucent and once applied it looks and feels invisible I use a powder brush to apply and it sets my make up wonderfully, I'm so glad that Sarah recommended this product I cannot thank her enough I LOVE it :)

Have you tried Corn Silk powders before comment and let me know what you think of them

Translucent Powder !!!!

Now when i think of Translucent Powder i imagine a really light face powder that has no colour to it, So why is it whenever i buy one or swatch one they look like this ?????

So whats the deal with these so called Translucent powders, doesn't translucent mean completely see through or have the make up industry just given it another meaning 

EG: Orange

 

I own a few 'Translucent' powders and some of them are awfully orange

(*cough* avon colour trend *cough*)

and others are more manageable like soap and glory setting powder that comes with their kick ass concealer.

I would love to find a perfect powder that suits my pale skin with out paying a tone of £££ for it

I have tried so many different ones throughout the years but so far the best ones i have found are:

 the setting powder in the kick ass concealer from soap and glory but I'm not going to pay £10 for the tiny product when i only want the powder its a bit silly.

 next is a new one i have been trying and that is the natural collection loose face powder in cool translucent this has a slight colour to it but doesn't make me look orange

The only powder that i have that isn't translucent i a 17 pressed powder which is in shade nicely neutral and that is fairly light but not light enough

So i have started using this

It is an MUA Matt Eyeshadow in shade 16 it is a super pale pink and works really well on my skin tone as i have a yellow undertone it balances it out rather than making my face more yellow/orange.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

let me know if you have found a really light 'Translucent' powder i would love to try others and hopefully find a face powder that i enjoy using because i can't keep using an eyeshadow.

PS: one last thing soap and glory's setting powder might be good but their packaging is rubbish £10 is the most i have spent on a concealer EVER and the bloody thing broke on me its like the plastic around the hinge just crumbled away and now all 3 parts will not stay together they just mingle with all my other products on their own leaving a smear of concealer on everything .
