Wowder

Wowder is my first and so far only Glossier product and I am so obssessed. I have DRY sensitive eczema skin. Usually, powders create noticible dry patches across my face, but no powder = my makeup is gone within a few hours. I have no idea how this powder is simultaneously so lightweight and non-irritating while also smoothing my skin, but it is. On an average day now, I only wear concealer and this powder and it gives me very natural, even, non-oily but not cakey finish. Will never use another powder. Also, Glossier has the cutest packaging ever and includes so many extra goodies. I cant wait to try more of their products, just have to save up as it is a step-up from my usual drug-store pricing.

I got really caught up in the idea that this powder could minimize pores and keep me (slightly at least) matte (their promises not mine), and it did for about ten minutes. After that, it oxidized (it was already a little too dark for me so this made it unwearable) and the matte/blurring effect had given way to my oily skin. I couldn't re-apply to touch up my makeup because the lightest shade is a medium tone. Also, it's really expensive for a powder that doesn't perform the way it claims. Bottom line- isn't even worth trying!

Wowder reminds me of Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish powder in loose form. It's sooo finely milled yet doesn't settle into lines and leaves a poreless finish that's just right (not too matte, not too dewy). I have medium-toned combination skin so I got the shade for G8-G10, and it does a great job of mattifying my oily T-zone while not making my undereye area or cheeks look cakey and dry. I've also tried it with other foundations like Armani's Luminous Silk, Nars Radiant Longwear and it does as good a job as Laura Mercier's Translucent powder. I've found my new powder HG!

I love this product! It's the only powder I have tried that keeps my skin matte for the entire day without clinging to dry patches, creasing, sinking into fine lines, or dulling skin. I have very oily skin and live in a warm climate, but this stays on!

Ordered wowder and skin tint together and am loving them both! At times skin tint is a little too dewy for my combo skin so I use wowder to set it and make sure that neither skin tint or my concealer moves around. Love that wowder does not leave my skin super matte or cakey. It looks pretty natural and has a slight blurring effect that is great for me! I have sensitive acne prone skin and it does not irritate my skin at all!
