![]() ![]() I think this powder is absolutely lovely and it has most certainly grown on me. For areas that need coverage, I just use a dab of my fave concealer and I’m good to go! Did you take a look at the RMK Play on Pink collection? Did you try this Kaleidoscope Nuance powder? I suppose it’s mostly because I’m quite happy with the condition of my skin right now (touch wood!) and I only want a light coverage base just to even out the skintone and add a bit of glow to the skin. Who will like this: Anyone who likes a good finishing powder, Anyone who likes translucent face powders Pros: Fine milled powder, Versatile as it can be used as a finishing powder or as a light foundation, Not shimmery nor shiny, Evens out skintone and leaves skin feeling matte, Not dryingĬons: A little pricey, Limited Edition, Initial shimmer overlay is a bit off putting ![]() Very high quality powder and absolutely worth it. Perfect for days when you don’t want to have much on yet want to look polished. I buff it in with a dense/kabuki brush and it evens out my skintone and looks very natural and translucent. I however like this powder used on its own like a foundation over a very light BB or CC Cream or primer. It doesn’t add colour, but it does set and hold foundation well, so it doesn’t slip and slide. When I use liquid foundation, I use this with a fluffy brush to set the powder. While it can be used separately to contour and highlight, I like it best as an all over powder. The RMK Kaleidoscope Nuance powder is a pressed powder comprising of different shades of powder in a pan. If this one’s no longer available, the Pressed Powder N might do the trick, but it isn’t a dupe – just possibly a substitute. It is in a way, quite similar to the RMK Pressed Powder N which I love, but I do find it has a more beige tone with a bit more glow to it. ![]() It isn’t shimmery and doesn’t give too much of a glow, but it sets well and I find, has fair oil control too. Yes, it finishes and sets my liquid foundations when I wear it and no, because I find this imparts a little more colour so I can wear this on its own. Is this similar to other finishing powders I use like Guerlain Meteorites or the NARS Light Reflecting Powder? Yes and No. I end up with a very light, yet polished base and that’s great for casual days or weekends when I don’t want a lot of product on my skin. Sometimes, the CC Cream and BB Creams don’t give much coverage so I then buff this powder in with a kabuki/dense powder brush and it just pulls my whole look together. But I realised I much prefer it on its own over a light layer of CC Cream or primer, or BB Cream. When I use this as a finishing powder, I use a fluffier powder brush to lightly dust it all over liquid/cream foundation to set it. I like wearing this almost like a foundation, by using a slightly dense powder brush or kabuki brush to buff it into my skin. On my skin what this translates to is simply an evened out complexion that I like for lazy days. The powder is mostly matte with just a hint of a glow. I even helped you by drawing an arrow to show you where it is □ If you squint, like REALLY SQUINT, you might see what I mean in this swatch of the Kaleidoscope Nuance powder below. What you then get is a slightly glowy beige powder with a slight warm-neutral tone. What I do is simply take a brush and swirl it around the whole pan, over all the colours. To be perfectly honest, ain’t nobody got time for that □ This isn’t a very large pan of powder and it’s just too fussy to operate it this way. According to the RMK makeup artists, you would use the lower halve, brushing your brush over the blue, beige and pink to highlight and then brushing over the brown, pink and beige to contour. ![]() It is a combination of a light blue, light pink, beige and brown, that in an ideal world operates both as highlighter and contouring powder. It wasn’t until I had brushed off all the top layer that I realised that the powder itself is mostly matte. I found the first few uses made my skin look a bit shiny and I thought that was it. It is for the reason of this shimmer that I wasn’t terribly keen on the powder when I first used it. ![]()
