TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Finishing Face Powder
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
CoverGirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Finishing Face Powder gives a natural, luminous finish that blends products together and sets makeup without losing glow. Professional makeup artist Morgan Turner notes it oxidizes slightly and lays down more color than a filter-like powder, so choose a shade lighter than your skin tone. The main drawback is a limited four-shade range, with one creator finding it too dark on her.
