I think this product would be fine for acned skin. it's very light, and can be layered even on my oily skin without caking. you could also switch to a different loose powder; if the one you are using is stinging- I assume you keep your eyes closed while applying loose powder- I would try a different product. a friend who had oily, acne prone skin liked Benefit's Bluff Dust. it is very transparent, but does have a yellow tinge that would work for all warm complexions. I like Make Up Forever's Microfinish Powder. it has no color at all. with any loose powder, I am sure to do the following: start with less product, and build coverage as needed; hold my breath when applying [any loose powder is being inhaled, so I like to take this precaution], and keep my eyes closed. also make sure you get yourself a good, quality powder brush like Sephora Brand powder brush #49. the short handle of this brush will make applications more controllable, and it is a nice, soft natural bristle brush that will hold a good amount of powder. dip your brush into your loose powder, then tap the brush against the container to 'unload' excess powder; then dust your face.
a great product for acne and congested skin is philosophy's Hope in a Bottle. it sounds like you have a good skincare regimen in place, but I just thought I'd mention this product; I've used it with good results.
I hope this helped!

It does have a smell. But it's a really light smell. It's almost like a baby smell. It's very light. I also have very sensitive skin and I have yet to have any problems with this product.

This shade may be somewhere in between Clinique's neutral fair and stay beige. It's certainly not pinky or orangey. I think you may really like it. I've used Clinique's stay matte powder and this is not as heavy. Feels wonderful.

Yes, this compact has the powder flip up and underneath lies a nice size mirror and a sponge for application. :)

The compact does not have a mirror but you can purchase one that does.

Hello,
I'm also asian and I just recently purchased the beige rose cool beige color. It has a nice pink undertone to it since i'm a bit rosy in different places, I'm also a bit fair skinned, but not regularly fair. This color enhances my skin color and gives it a nice rosy warm touch!

Go to a sephora store (or any makeup store I guess) and ask one of the employees to help you pick a good shade. Then try it on, but wear it outside of the store and home making sure of two things- 1. That it doesn't make your face itch or bother you and 2. That it looks good in most lights. The store, your house, outside. If you don't want to spend that much- most Rite Aid stores allow you to buy make up, try it, and then take it back for a full refund if it's not the right color- even if you've already opened it. Also many websites like covergirl or maybelline can tell you what your color will be in their brand if you know the color number from another. Pretty sure Dior does this too. Anyways hope that helps!

Use R15 (cool porcelain). It's the perfect shade for fair/light skin with pinkish/cool undertones. A sephora employee matched me to this shade and I love it...it's the only powder that has ever matched my skin tone without being too pale or too yellow. And I used to use the same shade of Bare Minerals that you use.
Also, I would really recommend getting the Sephora Platinum Collection Powder brush (#50) to use with this. It gives you a flawless, airbrushed finish.

I think that they might be removing shades beacuse I got mine on sale. The Sf store only had one left in R 20

it is made in italy.
