^ I am a powder ho.. I love LaMer, Cle,LaPrairie, Givenchy, YSL, and Chanel-- all are excellent powders so very finely milled - and all in that order.
one thing about the Chanel poudre is that it tends to oxidize a bit on me, turning me slightly orangey which is fine when I am going for a bronzier look.

I have the old chanel pressed in lilas and peach as well as a couple of LE, but I'd love to try the brands you mentioned. But my go to powder is the Dior Capture, now discontinuated (but last year rose powder diorskin nude)

I really cant decide if i should get the compact or loose version, ppl seems to rave about the loose one more but i have never really used a loose powder before, i might create a mess!
I don't think you would. I prefer to apply loose powders with a puff and it's not messy at all.^ I am a powder ho.. I love LaMer, Cle,LaPrairie, Givenchy, YSL, and Chanel-- all are excellent powders so very finely milled - and all in that order.

HerGreyness, I remember you mentioning Caron powders a while ago. That was the first time I had ever heard of that brand and I'm curious ever since, and now finally found a site that sells them. How do they compare to Chanel? I have 2 loose Chanel powders, 2 compacts, as well as several powders from other brands, so I'm wondering if it would be worth the splurge.

I got the Chanel powder in No. 70 and I absolutely love it. I have to remind myself that it is not for everyday work wear. Edited to ask , Is the No. 70 amongst the shades that will be discontinued that are WOC friendly? I heard that several suitable products will be discontinued soon so hoping to get an idea what if anything I should stock up on before its gone

Should i get 20 or 30? Is there a huge difference between the shades? Im a mac nc20
I have Clair (which I think is 20) as well as Rose Clair, so I'm not much help there. Can you check them out in person?

I will try to take a pic and post it, but it must be during stark sunlight. Caron is a lovely very finely milled powder -- it has a slight rose fragrance but it's very minimal to me. It does have a bit of sheen mini teeny micro shimmer to it. It is not comparable to Chanel as it could be called a final finish product not a setting powder as it is ultra fine. There are few different powders but I have Madame and Radieuse.. both are magnificent highlighting powders and do set makeup but in a very elegant and refined way.
Thanks so much for your reply! Pics would be great. They sound lovely and I don't mind a rose scent. I think I would opt for Transparente.
