This stuff is literally AMAZING. I have the shade absolute golden and it is wonderful. The packaging is beautiful and comes with a "shaker" like top with a plastic cover and holes to pour the powder. It also comes with a small lancome puff for application ( although I have not yet used it). 
Application is fairly simple. The powder adheres well to the face and my sponge. It does fall onto my vanity but I think that goes for almost all loose powders. I personally apply it all over my face after foundation, concealer, baking, doing my eyebrows and eyes and just before I bronze and apply blush. That was it provides that "inner glow" flawless finish. I apply it with the same beauty blender I used for my foundation, so it is still somewhat damp from setting spray, foundation and concealer. 
It truly gives the most amazing inner glow and completes my look. It is a very finely milled powder with a gorgeous yet subtle and natural shimmer (not glitter) to it. I do not have the tannest skin but it's not the lightest either. (For reference I am a mac nc 25-30 with dry skin and this  shade is perfection!)  At first I was a bit scared because it is extremely pink when you first look at it in the packaging, so I was afraid it wasn't going  to work for my skin (that has little to no pink undertones). But this stuff has easily become my absolute favorite. I tend to grab for it everytime I'm doing a "full glam" makeup look. 
The price is a bit steep compared to some powders but I honestly cannot think of anything like it. It is so beautiful and natural looking I cannot say enough good things about it. You really don't need a whole lot in order to get that "radiant glow" look. So I can only assume this will last me quite a while.  So worth the price. You will not be disappointed if you try this stuff ! I promise you.  Lancôme Absolue Powder Radiant Smoothing Powder

I don't have many Lancôme products, but after finding this holy grail to glowing skin, I have looked into more of their products. Like the Big Monsieur mascara...YASSS OMG WOW fav mascara now! Anyhow, back to this review..this powder makes my skin glow without me having to look sweaty or dewy and "overdewed" it was I call it, but I have a healthy glow. I also use a damp beauty sponge and allow my foundation to really set, then apply the loose, slightly colored shimmer (but not chunky sparkly) setting powder. I blend, blend blend in areas I want brightness and some glow! If you're oily, you may want to mix it with a maybe a a third of regular translucent powder and two thirds of the Lancôme Absolue Powder (I'm shade peche, it's light for me, I'm maybe a NC35 in Mac (yellow/neutral undertones) But I really blend it in with my beauty blender and then lightly contour or bronze, and my skin looks amazing..my husband always says my skin looks "healthy and moisturized" lol

Oh oh oh do you ever need this powder if you're somebody that likes to look glow and to be radiant this is a powder for you it only takes it I missed with beauty blender and tap the excess off on my hand and I just roll it on my face I have to reapply of course you can't do my whole face with the one dip in the there with a sponge but I only have to dip it maybe three times with a very little amount on it. You have to have to have dinner after Travis powder. Lancôme Absolue Powder Radiant Smoothing Powder

This powder is BEAUTIFUL. I was a little hesitant to buy it because i thought it was going to turn my entire face into one giant highlighter. But the second I put it on, I was in awe! It’s so light, and has such a beautiful sheen! It really does give you that perfect all over glow. Is pricy, but if you’re like me and love to splurge on high end products once in awhile that really work.. you’ll love this one! No scent to it, and the absolue peche shade worked best for my light-medium skin tone.

I can finally stop spending money on my endless quest for what I call “Instagram skin.” You know, the flawless, pore-less, airbrushed, look of perfection that every YouTuber, Influencer and social media MUA has in posted photos. I was beginning to think that even with practically perfect skin, I would never achieve this look in “real life.” I finally have and I owe it to Lancôme Absolue Powder Radiant Smoothing Powder. It looks absolutely stunning over tinted moisturizer or full coverage foundation. Absolutely worth the price tag! I am in love.

This powder is absolutely stunning. It has color to it, so I don’t use it to bake under my eyes. I use it all over my face to set my foundation. It truly does give such a healthy pearlescent glow. It makes me look healthy and rejuvenated. It’s PRICY but you do get a lot of product, plus the packaging is incredibly fancy and heavy feeling. It’s luxurious! I recommend this!

I have Jaclyn Hill to thank for this purchase. I am a sucker for a radiant finish and absolutely love this powder to help me with that. It brings the perfect amount of radiance to my skin and makes me look FLAWLESS. I really have issues with cakey makeup but this powder somehow stays perfectly in place. I’m obsessed.

Oh my goodness!!! This product is absolutely amazing. This product illuminates your face making it look natural and not harsh. Not only that, it actually keeps my makeup in place all day! When I use this, my makeup looks like the minute I put it on:) My only complaint is that the packaging is really big! The bigger the better I guess, haha.

Very smooth powder with small sparkles of glow. I have dry skin and it did seem to dry my skin a little bit. I saw jaclyn rave about this product which made me want to buy it. I wouldn’t repurchase it but I will continue to use it. It doesn’t give me the glow I expected. It is more of a sparkles that the powder has

Absolutely love this! I bought this after seeing a Jaclyn Hill video on YouTube. Now, I use it daily. It does have a shimmer finish, so I only use it on the high points of my face. It really does make you look glowy (I have very dry skin so that’s a huge plus for me) and truly is a “glow from within.” Summertime MUST!
