ETVOS Mineral UV Powder X Refill SPF50 (Pale Lavender)

I use the lavender shade. I've noticed that I always use it on days when people tell me my skin is beautiful. It gives a translucent look. It's matte when first applied, but over time it blends in and gives off a frosted, soft, lustrous finish. It also has UV protection, so it's an essential finishing touch to my makeup.

I don't feel the need for foundation yet, so I use this mineral UV powder with a brush every day on top of my Cosme Decorte primer. That's it for my base makeup. It's so easy to use. It's very gentle on the skin, doesn't irritate it, and leaves a light finish that I'm so satisfied with, I've been buying it for over three years now. I use Pink Beige, and it blends well with my skin and doesn't cast a white cast, so it's easy to use. It doesn't have much coverage, so if you want more coverage, I recommend using it in combination with a liquid foundation.

I'm currently repurchasing the pale lavender. It feels silky smooth when applied, and it noticeably brightens my skin tone. I have fair, reddish skin, so some lavender powders can make my skin look dull and reddish, but this one brightens my skin tone instantly, so I recommend it to anyone who has had a similar experience. Personally, I tend to use up loose powder quickly, but this product is rare for a UV powder, as it comes in a refill pack, which is very cost-effective.

I was looking for a powder that would be gentle on my skin, so I wandered around the ETVOS section. With summer approaching, I was drawn to the UV powder, so I tried it out in store and bought it after getting home to see how it blended in. Since I tan easily, using lavender would have made the border around my neck look unnatural, so I went for a more natural-looking pink-beige. Here are my impressions after using about half of it. As an office worker, even a few hours indoors left my skin shiny, dull, and awful. Unfortunately, I won't be using it again.

I have dry, very sensitive skin and seborrheic dermatitis. The color was just the right amount of translucent, which was great. However, over time, the pores on my cheeks became rough and noticeable, and some areas started to break down unsightly, so I felt like it wasn't right for me. I had the same experience when I used a different brand's SPF50+++ loose powder, so maybe there's some ingredient or formula that doesn't suit me.
