What it is
Compared to loose powder, pressed powder offers a slightly more matte finish. Its fine particles adhere tightly to the skin, covering problem areas. Instead of trapping moisture, rice flour ingredients absorb excess sebum, preventing dryness and flaking, preventing shine and makeup from smudging, leaving skin looking beautiful for hours. The simple yet carefully crafted formula, free of any unnecessary ingredients, ensures a stress-free application that doesn't burden the skin. This compact pressed powder is convenient for daily touch-ups. It comes with a mirror and puff. "Ambre" is a pink beige. Recommended for creating a healthy complexion. The pink brings a healthy glow to the face, brightening and creating a radiant complexion. The slightly darker beige tone is also ideal for covering blemishes and dullness. It evens out skin tone and creates a vibrant look.

How to use
1. Take powder onto the puff. 2. Rub the puff firmly into the face to blend evenly and eliminate unevenness. 3. Lightly apply powder from the center of the face outwards, gliding across the surface. 4. Fold the puff to apply to small areas such as around the eyes and nose. These are areas that tend to crumble, so apply firmly and carefully. 5. Blend the contours of your face to match the color of your face and neck. 6. Brush off any excess powder with a brush.

I bought Banane. My skin is lighter and warmer, so I prefer a yellow pressed powder that blends well with my skin tone and touches up my makeup (I use a brush because I like a light application). I was debating between this and Bobbi Brown's "Sheer Finish Pressed Powder (01 Pale Yellow, ¥6,160)," but since I have dry, sensitive skin, I went with this one, which is made with rice flour and seems gentler on my skin. It's a little cheaper than Bobbi Brown at ¥5,940, but I didn't experience any dryness and had no issues using it. It doesn't completely eliminate pores, but it doesn't feel thick and is of decent quality. It makes my skin look brighter without whitening. Everyone praised the Bobbi Brown powder mentioned above for its fine powder particles, but I didn't find anything particularly impressive about this Banane. Perhaps Bobbi Brown excels in powder quality, while T.LeClerc excels in gentleness to the skin. T.LeClerc isn't bad, but I get bored of using the same thing all the time, so I want to compare which one is better and think I'll buy Bobbi Brown next. [PS] I bought Bobbi Brown's "Sheer Finish Pressed Powder (01 Pale Yellow)," but it wasn't very yellow, so I'll continue to buy T.LeClerc Banane for touch-ups. The Bobbi Brown mentioned above doesn't feel particularly drying, but as I'm concerned about redness, I find the natural yellow of Banane easy to use and I like it.
It's a compact size with a design that makes you happy just by having it. It's thin, easy to hold, and stylish. I use it to touch up my makeup, and I love how it leaves my skin looking beautiful. It's a pretty excellent powder. Perhaps because it's made from rice flour, it feels gentle on the skin. It also completely eliminates pores.
I love T. Leclerc powders and own several loose powders. Translucide is the only pressed powder I own so far. I love the powder texture. It has a natural feel, is gentle on the skin, doesn't dry out the skin, and leaves a natural, yet not too casual, finish. The container is also cute. I love everything about it. However, there's one drawback to the pressed powder: the very thin puff it comes with isn't very comfortable to use. I'd like to change to a fluffier puff, but then the case lid won't close. It only fits the flimsy puff that comes with it. I bought it for touch-ups, but I don't like flimsy puffs, so I'd have to carry a powder brush or puff separately. I was hoping the compact case would reduce the amount of luggage I need, but... I'd really like to give it seven stars, but since it doesn't fit any other puffs, I'm giving it six. Translucide isn't the bluish pink shown in the photo, but rather a natural, bright skin tone, more like a beach orange. When applied to the skin, it removes shine and pores, but it doesn't leave a white cast and gives a very natural finish.
I have olive skin, and I've never been able to find a foundation that matches my complexion, so I've been struggling with different combinations of primer, foundation, and powder. I have a very pale, yellowish complexion, so even the slightest hint of red in my base makeup makes me look tan, so I only use yellow-based powders. I previously tried Make Up For Ever's Banana powder, a yellow one, but it was too yellow and made me look darker. Then I tried Make Up For Ever's Vanilla powder, but it was too white. So far, Banane has the most natural color. The finish is similar to Elegance's La Poudre, with a beautiful soft-focus effect. I recommend it to anyone with fair skin.
I previously tried the same brand's loose powder and it was so good that I also bought the pressed version. It's a thin compact so I can carry it in a small bag, which I'm happy about! It seems to use the same rice flour as the loose powder, so I felt safe using it. I think I'll use this one when I'm on the go and the loose powder type at home.
