One Amazon shopper gave a perfect score to the Air spun loose translucent powder.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” she wrote.

“This powder has been around for centuries, and there’s a reason for that.”

She tried many different powders on the market, but still returned to the affordable powders, which she considered a bargain.

“To some it may be ‘old fashioned,’ but the signature scent and super fine texture are unmistakable,” she said.

“[It’s] it reminds me of my childhood; grandma knew some things!

“It doesn’t leave any fine lines and my skin feels wonderful after application.”

“The smell reminds me a little of my grandma, but sometimes grandmas know best!” they said.

“This little gem of a powder has been used by my family for three generations. It’s how I get my airbrushed look out of literally any foundation.”

She added that she uses the powder with a blender brush and that it also means she needs to use less foundation.

First she applies foundation with the brush and then she applies concealer on top.

Next, she uses a power puff to apply the Airspun powder under her eyes and around her face.

“Let it sit for a few seconds and then gently brush it off with a clean brush,” she advised.

“Applying powder over your favorite foundation will lighten it considerably, but I [will] “I’ll take my bronzer to fix that.”
