Bought this on a whim Was on my way out of Bloomingdales and caught my eye I bought dark which is my EXACT color. Love the texture Love the finish it's luminous very glowing Used it over my nars tinted moisturizer and even though it's very sheer if gave a beautiful glow Not powdery can't even see it but you'll notice the difference I'm in love and photographs real nice I. Am. Sold

Yes absolutely. And when swatched heavily with finger and blended under store lights you can see softest little pearls very luminous i loved it
I walked up to the counter and first one I saw i thought "this color looks like my perfect match" i turn it around and it was light plus

So whoever posted that pic of the light mustve gotten a mislabeled one! Glad these seem to be matching up with the MSFNs, and glad that you love it!

I am ordering it. I am not huge fan of MSFN (i might be doing something wrong with it, like putting too much because it always cakes up on me) but I love careblend. Excited to try this one too.

Exact description I don't understand why blog swatches made it look chalky even. I will boldly say I like it better than my hourglass powder. I've Used it all week

Tho swatched they appear to have a matte finish, they do not control oil. Blot powder is gonna be what you want for oil control and touchups.
Hey Erin, with the Blot powder, if I wear Dark in Careblend, would it be safe to order the Dark in Blot powder? Or are they "off" in colour like the SSP & MSFN?

Don't go by the colouring of Blot. Blot colours fit a wide range of people, since light-medium dark contain zero pigment, and dark-deep dark only contain 2% pigment. Go by what you wear in MSFN or careblend.

I'll do that, thanks Erin!

These were such a fail for me. I literally tried using these with every single brush I own and that includes the 190 and those similar for a "sculpting" powder it's too stiff to work with and far to warm I find MSF or careblend are my choice of powders I reach for
