I have been buying Isadora's compact powder for 15 years and have been very satisfied. I followed Isadora's own guide on which color I should have from the new ones (which don't come in as many colors) based on which color I used to have from "the old ones". The new one I got according to the list is to start with myyych lighter. It would have been okay if the new ones were more like the old ones, as they were quite transparent, so it wasn't super sensitive which color you took, I thought. But with this new one, it is much more pigmented/covering. The old formula made my pores disappear, I used the powder mainly because of that. This new formula makes my pores and fine lines instead become more noticeable. I will need to find another brand of powder. Sad. I will not buy this again.
+ More powder in the jar now (?)
- no applicator puff comes with/ fits in the box
- worthless formula, not at all like it was before
There are quite a few brands reformulating their powders so that they no longer contain talc, as it has been shown that pretty much all talc in the world is contaminated with asbestos. That’s why the formula is changing from so many brands, to keep people safe. It’s not that everyone has reformulated "just because". Hope you find something good without talc, I’m still on the hunt for something that works for me!
