Looks good to me MSK and so much better than other methods on a bad skin day :laughing:

Depends on your undertone.

Cool – pink/rosy undertones with blue toned veins
Warm – golden/yellow undertones with green toned veins
Neutral – no obvious yellow or pink tones, it’s difficult to tell if your veins are blue or green

​i forecast youll have dark circles like rachelamdgromit :-)

My Wife picked up two from our local store and she seems happy with the quality. I picked up six bottles of Magners for £5.95 while I was there....

I had the white pressed Stargazer powder when I as a teenager! Oh the memories. If you're pale enough it's okay, but if you over do it looks like you've had a fight with a bottle of talc :smile:

I'm always keeping an eye out for suitable, pink toned loose powders anyway, so I'll pm you if I spot anything :smiley:

Hi juggler1 :man: Clarins and Chanel are a bit out my price range. I did once splurge (for me, anyway) on Clinique but I actually preferred my old Collection 2000, 9 Translucent Light loose powder pot! They discontinued that shade ages ago though.

Just seen your last comment. Ye, I have oily skin, matt all the way for me, I don't want shine. Not tried the Chanel as yet, does look promising, but have been happy with the Clarins. None of that turning orange after an hour or 2. I bought a few powders of diff brands last year when I got a bee in my bonnet about not being able to find. Think I got a Lancôme one too. I might've used that, or that too might be knocking around in my enormous stash of make up :smiley:

I have the exact same issue.. God knows why, but lots of loose powders have been discontinued. When I've questioned it, the reply is that they aim for a 'dewy' rather than 'matt' look? I can also only use a loose powder that has a pink tone, so that it doesn't go orange. I've just finished Clarins Multi eclat 03 dark 405931, and about to start Chanel 22 Rose Clair 132.090. Can't remember what I paid for the Clarins, but will have bought on offer, and I'm sure it's lasted around a year.. The Chanel was a surprisingly relatively reasonable £33.

I'm not great with shimmery or mineral powders, they make me look awful. It's got to be matte. But thanks :smiley:

Edit: The HD Silica Microspheres reminds me of the https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stargazer-5036469025051-Loose-Powder-White/dp/B002DY3G9I and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technic-Focus-Transparent-Loose-Powder/dp/B017NILG4K (Technic also do a translucent powder I might try).

White loose powders seem to be a "thing" at the moment - not sure how they would look in reality!

Can I make a quick recommendation, I use this HD Silica Microspheres
Its exactly the same stuff as MakeupForever's HD Powder and the ELF HD powder. It does a great job of 'blurring' your pores and complexion. Oh and its completely translucent (I'm as pale as casper lol).
A 15g bag has lasted me over a year for around £4.50. The only pain is find a suitable container with a sifter...:laughing:

Hope Aldi reintroduce these as a permanent line. I can see from a much older thread about this that I actually asked in few Aldis if they'd restock it (bit sad but it is one of my makeup staples).

All I need now is a decently priced and sized loose face powder for my paleface :smiley:! I've been using Coty Airspun Translucent but finding a UK seller of this is nigh on impossible and I'm running out. Superdrug seem to have stopped stocking NYC Smooth Skin Loose Powder (translucent) as well. Most loose powders go orange on me!!

Have some heat op, I've used touche eclat for years, and excited to try this!

Hi Jamiebhoy, I'm so sorry but I've only just managed to see message! That would be lovely, thank you! I'll send a pm :smile:

My Wife picked up another four of these last night, she's hooked....:innocent:

​I'm Asian and Savannah is perfect for me, I have olive skin

Found an old comment I made about the shades, might be useful for those unsure which shade to buy.

For £2.99 i thought I'd give it a try and I do think its better than YSL

I still have this, totally wrong colour.
I doesn't match my black eyes bags

I bought a few not tried it before but heard lots about it. got some caviar cream too

I bought 5! been using a chanel version whilst waiting for this to come in and this one is so much better quality. especially for £3!

I could try to pick one up for you, Coolcat....

wish our aldi was opened now, got to wait till summer :disappointed:

Bonus :smile:

I wouldn't bother buying it again personally! Couldn't see that it made any difference - this has my vote over the YSL one!

I also bought Superdrug's own brand ('B' something!) for £1.98 a couple of weeks back as it was half price, and this is way more effective for me than YSL TC was, and about a tenth of the price!

I think the word without is missing? :smile:

Lol yep! I have such bad dark circles that if I don't wear it everyone asks me if I haven't slept!!! I don't wear any other makeup day to day apart from this.

Crikey is it that bad?

I now use this it "is" as good as Touché Eclat

I dont have Aldi near by! Buuuu

Can confirm all three shades are at the High Street, Glasgow store. Plenty left.

Anyone know which colour is best for fair skin? The one that says for light skin looks really pinky to me, but I don't know if it's just bad colour printing on the boxes.

Have both this and the YSL TE, hard to tell the difference between them, although I do find I need to mix mine with a little moisturiser , otherwise half way through the day it makes my skin look really dry .

Glad I could help :smiley:

I only remembered the price as I spent just under £20 on 5! I am now running low. It's the only item of make up I refuse to leave the house wearing. Cheers OP

Yayyyy I love these!!! Were £3.99 last time so that's a reduction....

Dunno what all the fuss is about with YSL TE.. Seems massively overrated to me!

I'm glad Aldi have brought these back, they disappeared for a while! Will have to stock up!
