I still ended up bringing home several different products before finding the one that can do the job of my old favourite.&nbsp;<em>(I\u2019m so over having even a single makeup product in my cabinet that falls short!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, the perfect powder is extremely fine-grained, silky smooth and leaves behind a gossamer-thin veil.

That\u2019s quite something considering it hasn\u2019t been on the market for more than two years \u2013 and I\u2019ve been using makeup for&nbsp;<em>twenty<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the powders I\u2019ve tested in my life haven\u2019t been that bad. They just haven\u2019t felt any different than the next! Sometimes I did manage to go for the wrong shade, texture that was too rough or stone powder that was so sturdy it would hardly rub onto the powder pad. But&nbsp;<em>powder they all did<\/em>, usually too much so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I began to understand my preferences along the way and noticed I was happiest with loose powder applied with a brush. No powder pads or tapping \u2013 but a super thin puff over my base makeup with a large brush was more than enough. It\u2019s important to know when to stop blending and adding more: when to tap the brush on the side of the package and take another look to see if more is really needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Glossier Wowder<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only was Glossier able to verbalise what I was after, but also produce it.&nbsp;<em>(Okay, it\u2019s happened a lot: either Glossier knows how to package carefree makeup trends or create them. Maybe both!)<\/em>Wowder&nbsp;loose powder reduces shine without killing glow \u2013 and does it excellently. Although it\u2019s a dry, dusty powder, something about the texture makes it feel a little moist. The same applies to the finish I manage to create with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Packaging is a plus: candy pink may not be my own top choice, but I value the usability. The powder is applied onto the brush through trampoline mesh, which is concealed when the jar is closed. Ta-dah \u2013 say goodbye to loose powder that flies all over the place and wafts onto the brush in excess. This type of lid should be compulsory for all powdery makeup products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I especially want my makeup that goes on larger areas of the skin to be natural (<em>because that\u2019s what most of the skincare products I use are as well!)<\/em>, I had to try and find a suitable natural alternative for my firm favourite. The list of ingredients in Wowder includes diamond powder \u2013 okay,&nbsp;<em>wow<\/em>\u2013 but also a silicone by the name of&nbsp;<em>polymethylsilsesquioxane.<\/em>As a starting point: an ingredient with that many letters should probably not be eaten or smothered over the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/kaikki_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does the natural option compare:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I already mentioned, finding this loose powder took a bit more work than normal, but I\u2019d say I found a good duplicate for my old favourite! The Dr. Hauschka Loose Powder seems to be a fairly new addition to the range, but I have a hunch it would work for many.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_kiinni.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t imagine anyone complaining about the texture: it\u2019s like powdery silk. In fact, it&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>powdery silk \u2013 silk is on the list of ingredients! The Dr. Hauschka website describes the powder as a light touch that creates a soft finish without drying. I couldn\u2019t think of a better description myself.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a word of warning and mild criticism about the really strong fragrance that slightly reminds of a bazaar. It\u2019s not bad \u2013 but it is strong and potently&nbsp;<em>(natural)<\/em>perfume-y. If you are sensitive to fragrances, smell before you buy! I don\u2019t feel the scent lingers on the face or in the nostrils for very long though, so I don\u2019t let it get to me \u2013 the product itself looks and&nbsp;<em>feels&nbsp;<\/em>so good. I can even recommend it for anyone suffering with dryness!&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hauschka_auki.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dr. Hauschka Irtopuuteri<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the list of ingredients, the product has added fragrance (although natural), so if anyone with connections at Dr. Hauschka happens to read this, my humble wish would be for them to get rid of the fragrance or at least reduce the amount \u2013 it doesn\u2019t really bring any added value. The product comes in&nbsp;&nbsp;traditional \u201csifter-like\u201d packaging, which in my view could be replaced with the mesh version mentioned above. It\u2019s something you can live with though, as long as you keep the powder pad between the lid and sifter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Verdict:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll be continuing with this after I\u2019ve finished with my Wowder. I use so little powder that it may take time \u2013 it doesn\u2019t run out quickly, my previous one lasted nearly a year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only one shade of the Dr. Hauschka powder is available, and I\u2019m not sure how well the pale&nbsp;<em>translucent shade<\/em>really works for darker skin tones. In my case at least the powder doesn\u2019t alter the shade of my carefully chosen makeup base \u2013 hopefully it doesn\u2019t leave others with a paler (or dark, yellow, orange etc.) veil either! The product costs&nbsp;just under 40 euros at Ruohonjuuri store,which seems reasonable for a large container that should last a long time for most people.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/wowder_huisku.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay \u2013 In addition to the loose powders, I have a translucent cheapy stone powder tucked away in a drawer at the office, too: sometimes I want to quickly hide a shiny nose in the middle of my workday without having to fiddle with a brush. Usually powders of this sort end up having a fateful death by dropping on a tiled bathroom floor, so I\u2019ve learnt to skip the expensive ones and keep a cheaper one at hand for emergencies. Maybe it\u2019s time to update the powder at the office for a good loose powder after all \u2013 there\u2019s quite a difference!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think all powders are the same and you still haven\u2019t come across one that stands out, this one could just change your mind!
