Perhaps this would be a solution for you:

They ship within Europe, the powder only costs 27€ and it comes in 6 shades. Maybe that would be an alternative for you!

I would love to have this powder, but I have no possibility to check out the color in person. Which one would match a NC15?

I use BE translucent powder & it works great, but of course I have to go to Sephora and give this on a try. I love it! It feels so smooth, I got help from a sales rep to choose the color.
The packing is horrible, I had to put it in a zip lock bag and keep it really tight with a rubber band, because if you are not carefull you will end up wasting half it, it just comes out even when it’s closed. With the bag a rubber band, no mess!!! nothing comes out, even if its in my bag.

if you have absolutely perfect skin, then of course you can use this powder solo.

for me (i’m 34, and my skin is – alas – not as flawless as it was), it works absolutely great over foundation. but solo – no. to little coverage (is that the correct word?) and on my rather oily skin it creeps in the *cough* wrinkles, creating this cakey look i so much want to avoid.
on a good foundation, however, it is utterly great. smooth, silky, doesn’t “bake”.

btw: i simply washed the puff along with some silk stuff in hand cycle in the washing machine and added some sagrotan conditioner (don’t know what that is in english, it kills bacteria but is gentle enough to be used on delicate fabric, it’s not a bleach!). great result.

have a nice day, everyone!

I also just bought it after reading Marlena’s review and used it yesterday for the first time. The shade they recommended was Beach; my skin has yellow undertones. I also agree that it is the BEST powder! I wore it to a Halloween party and though I danced and it was hot (Florida), my skin remained matte and appeared flawless. I agree with Marlena and Carina that the only negative aspect is its packaging. I recommend it to all without a doubt. Thank you Marlena for your reviews. They are terrific!!!

I bought this powder after reading this review. It is the BEST powder I have ever used, I normally get a little oil buildup on my face over the day but not with this powder. It keeps my skin matt all day and sets my makeup for however long I choose to wear it. Definitely recommend it!! Only downside is the packaging as it can be a little messy!

What color do you use in the Nars powder and how much color shows up from the powder?
