Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

CHANEL Poudre Cristalline Ultra-Fine Translucent Powder with Deluxe Puff

What They Say: "A patented complex creates a weightless 'veil' effect, while setting makeup imperceptibly and controlling shine, without a hint of chalkiness."

Melissa Says: I tried to like this. I really did. Unfortunately, no matter how I tried to apply it, it didn't work out well. With the pretty puff, I had to be incredibly careful not to get a white-ish dusting on my face (nearly impossible without knocking almost any trace of it off the puff first), and when I tried to be creative and utilize a large brush to apply it instead, I still felt like the resulting look was quite dry with a bit of white tinge. Honestly, I fully expected this to be a fabulous invisible secret weapon, but instead my perfect makeup look suffered a minor casualty. It just wouldn't give me a natural finish, and was not translucent enough.

Retail Price: $60.00 (online at Chanel's website or in select department stores and retailers)

Advertisement sounded terrific and the result was poor. I failed to find the golden mean and this powder looked either too white or completely invisible.
