larger particles that other brands I've used [SEP] the particles of this powder are not as fine as other similar powders that I've used previously. I don't feel that it covers as well because it is not very fine in texture. I'm also disappointed that it is not waterproof, rather it comes off when I'm swimming.Though It is slightly tinted, it is still gives a white-ish cast being that is a bit more white than translucent (but not chalk white), I will be trying another brand that is water proof & less "white"
