No7 Loose powder

Hi , Ive been using no7 loose powder medium for years , I can’t believe that they changed the packaging as well . The medium has also changed to an awful orange shade that is no where near the original shade
I’m now looking for a loose powder that doesn’t look too chalky , no 7 also came with a helpful sieve that enabled me to shake enough into the lid to apply it .
Any recommendations please

they have ruined No 7 makeup. I was in Boots the other day and there was a clutch of women complaining to the assistant that the shade of foundation that they had always used had changed completely

Don't get me started on the display that had the eye shadows over 6 feet from the ground. I dragged a step thing over and climbed up to have a look at them and got roundly told off!!!

I used Corn Silk loose powder for years and when that was discontinued I started using Laura Mercier loose powder. This was after a good bit of experimentation, and some disappointing/expensive mistakes.

I've just bought a Primark one today in a panic. I'll let you know if any good. I got shade one as I'm super pale

I had the same with their pressed powder. Been using it, in medium, for years. The new replacement is all wrong and definitely orange.
I am now using a Revlon one, I think. Its actually quite good. But I was so annoyed at the change.

I’m so glad you posted this! I thought I’d accidentally bought the wrong one. The new packaging is AWFUL and it gets everywhere when I use it now they don’t have the filter. Gutted as this was my favourite powder cover; I’ll switch to the more expensive Laura Mercier but it’s nowhere near as good.

No 7 have changed/discontinued quite a few of their lines, such a shame ☹️

Agree. Boots no 7 trio bronze eyeshadow was perfect. No longer exists. I've just bought the loose powder though in banana so that seems to still be ok. Maybe I should buy a glut load in case they stop it

The Charlotte tilbury one is good

Fenty loose powder is good.

Just had a try of the Primark one and it was actually ok!
