Reviews For Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder
great setting powder
I read reviews on the Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder and decided to try it. I do think it's a wonderful setting powder. Over foundation it sets your base with a reflective matt look, which is buildable. Natural Lighting Powder does have a slight tint to it, but it does not change the color of foundation, rather it provides a light warmth to the skin which blends into a seamless look.

I love this setting powder! It keeps my makeup from moving but without a completely matte/dry look!

Amazing Powder
Doesn't settle in creases, never looks cakey and lasts almost all day. I've been using this for quite a while and as soon as I was about to run out I immediately ordered more, it's the best face finishing powder I have ever used. I also use it as a finishing powder on my upper eyelids after applying eyeshadow to keep mascara from smearing onto my upper lids, it works amazingly no more mascara on upper lids!

Meh, it's fine. It might work better for you than it did for me.
Based on reviews, I was expecting greatness from this loose powder. Unfortunately for me, it's too obvious-looking to use either as a setting powder or as a finishing powder. Instead of a "natural lighting" effect, it made my face look slightly ruddy or peachy compared to my neck, even when applied very sparingly by itself, or when diluted into my colorless translucent setting powder. My skin tone is in the light-to-light/medium range with neutral or olive undertones (no pink, yellow, or golden tones). I've tested this powder over untinted moisturizer/sunscreen, so the odd peachy glow on my face must be coming from the peachy color of the powder itself. I can imagine that the peachy glow would look great on others, though.

Worth the Wait!
I had to wait several month for this as it was on backorder from the manufacturer but it was definitely worth the wait! It's super light-weight and does a wonderful job of setting my makeup without any real settling into my fine lines/wrinkles. It has just a hint of color (a very, very light beige-toned hue I'd say) which gives my otherwise pale complexion a nice, healthy glow. Bottom line, a great product that provides just the right finishing touch for a put-together yet natural look.

Disappointing
For me, it did not live up to description of providing a natural, soft, luminescent finish. No different from regular loose powder. I'm also not sure I feel good about a main ingredient being talc.

Nice formula but too dark for pale skin
This has a nice formula, but it is too dark for pale skin. It combines with the moisture in my foundation and oxidizes down to an orange color. Would work well with deeper skin tones.

Tried this powder based on reviews on LovelySkin site, I’m impressed. So lightweight & natural. It’s not drying or heavy. Try it, you’ll be pleased!!

Great!
I am 52 and I just don’t like to use powder because I think it does not good for my dry skin and for my appearance. I just don't like how other kind of powders look on me. I tried this one and I am very pleased with how it feels and how it looks! It seals my very thin and light foundation leaving my skin with a nice luminous not dry look and feel.

This is my 3rd purchase of this powder. It lasts me about one year and I always seem to get it when a sale is going on. Some say this has no color on the skin but I do feel a very sheer wash of color is added to my complexion and it’s not at all heavy - just great for applying throughout the day after I’ve blotted my oily skin.

Not too shiny
I love how this powder is not so shiny. I'm not "young" girl anymore so I didn't want to be so glittery/shiny on my face. The powder is so soft and feels like nothing on my face which I love!

Fabulous!
I'm loving the Koh Gen Do line. This Lighting Powder is so sheer, and yet it sets and perfects my liquid foundation perfectly. I believe it helps to use proper and CLEAN brushes for a flawless finish. The color is slight, and could be used for all shades without looking like a kabuki doll. Worth the price!

Thus is a beautiful option for those of us with dry skin powder-phobes who still need to set their makeup to ensure longevity. I got this because YouTube's Michelle Wang raves about it all the time as her favorite for her dry eczema prone skin. It is well nigh invisible and gives a subtle radiance that livens up the complexion.

Subtle glow indeed
For light makeup days or evenings, this gives a flawless airbushed finish with a luminous tint. Very finelly milled, soft and silky, and the included puff is excellent. I have combination skin with large pores and some dry areas and it doesn't emphasize them. Think it would work for any skin type.

I am always floored by how amazing Koh Gen Do products work. They are an underrated brand that makes phenomenal products, that’s aren’t loaded with garbage. This is a lightweight finely milled powder that leaves a radiant glow. LOVE LOVE 💕

smooth
Applies even and smoothly. I use this as a setting powder over Rezamid Acne Treatment Lotion. It is feels light on my face and balances the color of the rezamid which is a little darker than my extremely pale skin tone. Doesn't clog my pores like other powders I have tried in the past. It has definitely become a part of my everyday makeup routine.

Love it!
I found this powder in a store and liked it, then came home and found it on LovelySkin for 25% off. And there's no tax! It's a win-win!
