Final Thoughts
–Sheer to light coverage :: I did 2 layers and didn’t get the level of coverage that I prefer
–Lots of kick up when you dip your brush in
JCat Powder is slightly cheaper and so much better :: better coverage, flawless finish (reviewed here)
–Blended and buffed into the skin easily
–Obviously this is a powder, but it looks very powdery on the skin and I just don’t like how it looks on my skin
–It’s a no from me

Primer: Peach & Lily Glass Skin Veil Mist
Tools: Sponge included in the compact, Sigma powder brush from this set

Setting Spray: Neutrogena Hydro Boost

It’s hard so show swatches of powder foundation so here’s a shade comparison to my favorite powder foundation from J Cat Beauty
Before & After
No makeup :: Foundation only :: Full face
AM & PM
I’m wearing the JCat Powder on the left & the Juvia’s Place on the right. The JCat powder looks way more flawless and has better coverage.
