Sleek: ONE Finishing Powder. My thoughts.

★ ★ ★ 


I recieved this powder from Sleek Make-up a few weeks ago. It costs £7.50 from their website.
On the website it says "An ultra-translucent powder which sets and enhances the effects of foundation by providing a glowing, translucent finish. "

To be honest i'm not sure about this product, i think that it is either a love it or hate it kinda thing. 
The first thing i noticed when i applied this to my skin was the amazing cool sensation it gives. It feels as if your skin has been sprayed with a cooling spray. A few times i have actually thought that my brush was wet. I think it would be a great product for people living in hotter climates, they can touch up their make-up and feel cool and clean all at once! 

The powder itself is a pale pinky colour. It is shimmery, not matte, which i think will put a lot of people off, it certainly alarmed me when i first noticed. I don't want to set my foundation with shimmer dust!
However, *sigh of relief*...it doesn't make you shimmery, more dewy. I would say it gives a subtle glow to the skin.


The powder comes in one universal colour that is suited to all skin types. 
Above you can see a swatch of the powder on my skin, and below, the same swatch blended out.
This powder definitely doesn't make my make-up look any different, other than making it more light reflecting due to the soft shimmer. Overall, i probably won't repurchase this. I would rather set my make-up with my Bare Minerals Mineral Veil which i think works better at mattyfing the skin.
This is REALLY fun to use though... REALLY fun.
