Lorraine, is the Gentle Light powder designed to be used alone on

bare skin -- similiar to Jane Iredale et al -- or in conjunction with

the liquid foundation of the same name? I ask because, like you, I'm

not a good user of any liquid foundation and am considering trying a

powder foundation.

If I recall, Superbalanced is designed for combination skin, so I'm

not surprised it would have twice the likelihood of containing

irritating ingredients, and half the likelihood of staying in place

everywhere on the face. Soft Finish is for older skin, those with dry

skin and lines, so it goes on smooth (much better than Super City

Block) and stays put. But, it's not completely inert on my skin.

BeneFit's Get Even -- what a great passive-aggressive name! I love

it. Tell me more.

I don't know, I got it as a Bonus time gift rather than a separate

purchase, so I haven't asked anyone about it. I suspect it's

probably meant to be used in conjunction with something else as it

gives lighter coverage than something like Jane Iredale.

It's fairly matte. It's quite yellowy in colour, which seems to work

well at balancing out the colour on my red cheeks and nose. I put

less on the paler parts of my face.

Ingredients are: talc, mica, zinc stearate, ethylhexyl palmitate,

lauroyl lysine, zinc oxide, hydrated silica, squalane, dimethicone,

phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben. May contain iron

oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI77499) titanium dioxide. That listing

is for shade #2.
