Too shimmery and powdery for older skin [SEP] These do no favours for older skin. Most of them are shimmery powders and even with the lightest application following the directions exactly they emphasis wrinkles, even tiny ones, as soon as light hits the skin. The shimmer might look great on young skin though. Also they make your skin look powdery (old) rather than dewy (young). And we all aim for dewy.  Plus point: the brush set is really nice, beautifully presented and good quality.
