Hi Georgia,
Thank you! Sorry to hear coty made you itch. So strange! You may have sensitive skin. Perhaps you have an old batch that’s expired. I’ve used expired makeup lipstick before that made my lips burn. Maybe try using it somewhere else on your body to test it again?

Hi Jen – this is a great review. I just got my first translucent Coty and I’ve used it twice – I haven’t used much just a gentle set. My problem is that I think it’s making me itch – have you heard anything like that before? I’ve never had an issue with talc before. Is there something else in it that is known to cause itching?

In reply to Yolanda. Hi Yolanda! All you need is the city translucent powder. Translucent is best because it allows your foundation color to show through. This powder gives a soft focus finish.

Hi Jen,
Great information. How many shades are there and what color is good for me if I wear MAC NC40 or women of color.

Hi May!
You’re going to love this powder, don’t worry!
Yes, the tape is tricky to remove. You might want to keep two holes covered because it can get messy. Yes, traveling with it could be hard.
If traveling, grab a piece of tape to secure it. I know it may be practical to travel with.
I actually throw away the powder puff. That thing can get messy!!! OMG!
How I use this powder simplified:
After applying my foundation,
I pour about a teaspoon of the powder into the bright golden lid.
Next, I grab my real techniques makeup brush and pack it with powder.
Next, I lightly pat it onto my T-zone and any areas I get oily. Then I lightly pat it all on the rest of my face.
Once it’s set after a minute, I brush my mineral makeup powder on top and apply my blush and do my eyebrows, eye makeup etc.
Finally, once I’m done, I pat more of the city powder into the areas I get oily and I gives a soft focus effect to my skin I can’t live without!

I hope that helps!
XO Jen

Hi Jen, can you please tell me step by step exactly to use this product? I just bought this for the first time today and haven’t used it yet. So first, I opened the lid, found the white poof, next the plastic (what I now realize is a) sifter, and then the powder product underneath. At first, I started taking the 4 small pieces of tape off the plastic sifter’s edges because I didn’t realize the sifter was meant to remain permanently where it was, and that it had holes (covered by a circular tape that had to be removed) where the product could come through without having to take off the entire sifter. But assuming I’ve taken this circular sticker off, now comes the troubling part. Say I were to travel with this powder. It seems like once I remove the circular tape and open the holes in the sifter, even if I put the poof back on top of it and put the lid on, there’s nothing really that separates the powder from spilling out through the poof and onto the lid. Am I correct about this? Are we expected to keep the circular sticker on hand and reseal it back on to cover the holes whenever we’re traveling? I can imagine just how messy it can get if the powder doesn’t have any physical blockage keeping it in the under-portion of the container (the poof probably doesn’t block much). I apologize for the long message, but literally nobody has posted precisely how to use/travel with this product, which I’m surprised about considering how long it’s been around for! Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Gerri,
Yes you may.
If you have dry under eyes like me or prone to creasing below your eyes, dab a little rosehip seed or olive oil under your eyes first and let it soak in for five minutes prior to using concealer and powder.
