Airspun Loose Powder Translucent

I remember back in the late 60's and early 70's sneaking into my mom's make-up drawer in the bathroom to use this same powder. I have been using the original for years, and never really minded the smell since it goes away once applied. This is first time using the talc-free translucent formula. The smell is lighter- a bit citrus or lemon scent, but the coverage is what made the biggest impression. I am not wrinkly nor scarred, but habits of a lifetime of not wanting to be shiny or blotchy make me so happy this provides an even, matte and bright pearly finish. I have found the pads from the old container are much better than the sponge pads so I just wash them and reuse....

Coty Airspun Loose Powder's ultra-lightweight formula offers a flawless matte finish, ideal for setting makeup and softening the appearance of fine lines and pores. The "Naturally Neutral" shade is perfect for a wide variety of skin tones, providing a natural, non-cakey finish.Plus, its fragrance is retro and distinctive, although it may be a bit strong for those who prefer unscented products. The amount of product it offers for its price is exceptional, making it an affordable and long-lasting option. In short, it's an excellent choice for those looking for a quality loose powder with a professional finish.

I am beyond impressed with this translucent powder! It’s an amazing dupe for high-end brands, offering the same flawless finish at a fraction of the price. The powder goes on smoothly, setting my makeup perfectly without feeling heavy or cakey. It gives my skin a soft, matte finish that lasts throughout the day. I love how it doesn’t oxidize or leave a white cast, and it blurs imperfections beautifully. This is now the only brand I’ll ever purchase—it's become a staple in my makeup routine, and I can't recommend it enough!

PLEASE NOTE: I did not receive the Original Formula I ordered. I received the talc-free. This will be a review of the talc-free version.I am very close to 40. Every time I’ve worn liquid foundation I’ve felt miserable, watery eyes, felt like I had plaster on my skin. I decided to try what my Grammy used and just give Airspun a shot.All I used for my base is my regular facial moisturizer and the Airspun. I don’t care for the little “puff” included and I used a large powder brush to apply. The puff is about as flat as a fast food pancake, and the pancake might apply the product better.The Airspun is light as a feather, looks natural, and just blends and evens out my skin. I love it. It does require touch ups on my oily spots every once in a while throughout the day.The scent definitely has that “gramma cosmetics” smell, but it does dissipate… after an hour or so. It’s not worth knocking a star off for, but if they ever came out with an unscented version, I’d switch in a heartbeat.Pic is unfiltered, regular iPhone front camera.

I used this product when I was a teen - a LONG time ago!! It's still just as I remember. The powder is light and airy. As other reviewers mentioned, there is a definite unique odor. For me, it's nostalgic and I like it. It's not a bad scent; just distinct; and it doesn't linger. Now that I'm significantly older, I need more coverage so it doesn't work as well as it did when my skin didn't have as many flaws (ie. age spots). This is the only reason for the 1-star deduction.

Nice coverage, lightweight. I like the version without talc. It has a very light scent, it does not bother me. My skin is very picky but I didn’t have any issue using this product.

It works great! It sets my concealer great so that’s all that matters for me! It does have a strong smell though.

It's a nice fine powder with an excellent price point. Coty should consider making it unscented to broaden its market appeal. Many people are sensitive to scented products and many others just don't want a scent to mix in or overshadow their chosen cologne scent. The scent of this powder is too strong and lasts too long for my taste, so sadly I won't be purchasing it again.
