stila illuminating powder-help!

[jdmac]

does anyone have this product? i initially bought it to use as a powder to set my foundation on days when i use illuminating liquid powder to keep the glow. but i feel like this product is too sparkly/glittery for the look i was going for-just wanted a glowy-illuminating look.

does anyone else use this as an all over face powder? or any other uses?

i tried to use my mac 187 dampened with fix + to see if i could use it as a highlight for cheekbones, but wasn't very successful (i do this with MAC msf powders). not enough shimmer i thought...

suggestions??

thank you!

edit: it's actually called "illuminating finishing powder" (looks like a MSF/dome shape)

I've used IPF as a foundation and as a powder for years and to be honest I've never noticed it being sparkly or glittery. That's really odd!

i edited my post to indicate i meant the illuminating finishing powder, as opposed to the regular pressed powder. thanks!

i definitely think it was not meant as an all over setting powder. it's pretty glittery and shimmery in the sunlight. i would only use it as a highlighting powder
