MAKEUP lovers are trading in expensive powders for a budget-friendly, generational purchase.
Fans were thrilled with the $10 old-school powder that was their grandmother’s favorite.
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.

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