Their signature products\u00a0(like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossier.com\/try\/boy-brow\" target=\"_blank\">Boy Brow<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossier.com\/products\/balm-dotcom\" target=\"_blank\">Balm Dotcom<\/a>)\u00a0staples in every beauty blogger&#8217;s makeup bag, their New York showroom almost always has a line outside of people waiting just to get in, and Emily Weiss, the founder and CEO, is the definition of #goals.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why when Glossier launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossier.com\/products\/wowder-duo\" target=\"_blank\">Wowder<\/a>, beauty junkies were dying to get their hands on it. The finishing powder comes in three shades and aims to cut shine, set your makeup, and blur the appearance of pores, leaving your skin with a glowy, matte-not-flat finish. Glossier also created a Wowder Brush to ensure perfect application.<\/p>\n<p>So here comes the real question: is it worth the hype? Opinions across the web are definitely varied, but below\u00a0are a few points that even the positive and negative reviews mutually agree on.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXQH9pChJVb\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">The type of powder you make a little montage movie about ???\u200d\u2640\ufe0f??????\u200d\u2640\ufe0f????\u200d?? meet WOWDER ?

But as the day goes on, your skin changes (gets oily, sweaty, etc.), which means your makeup won&#8217;t look the same as when you first applied it. With that being said, the likelihood of the Wowder lasting you the entire day is quite slim, which was one of the biggest complaints across the web.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It feels amazing<\/strong><br \/>\nNearly all reviews rave about how silky and smooth the Wowder felt on their skin. In fact, the\u00a0formula is so lightweight that some users even forget they even had it on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shades are limited<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have fair skin, the lightest shade might not match. With only three shades to choose from, a widespread complaint came from those either at the lightest or darkest ends of the\u00a0skin tone spectrum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The trampoline mesh is awesome<\/strong><br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t your average packaging &#8212; the mesh helps keep the product inside instead of covering your bathroom counter. Simply dip, swirl, and lightly tap off any excess for the perfect amount of powder each time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can skip the brush<\/strong><br \/>\nThe brush is like your average powder brush, but with a smaller surface. If you already have one in your collection, don\u2019t bother purchasing the brush or the duo. But if you\u2019re used to using your fingers to apply makeup, it&#8217;s worth throwing one in your shopping cart.<\/p>\n<p>The verdict? If you don&#8217;t mind freshening up throughout the day, we&#8217;d say it&#8217;s worth it!<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"Glossier may be one of the newer brands on the block, but their products are ...","author":114727,"featured_media":109600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,118],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/14174740\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-14-at-5.47.05-PM-660x400.jpg","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/14174740\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-14-at-5.47.05-PM.jpg","formated_date":"September 15, 2017","category_name":"Beauty","category_icon":"https:\/\/d3vodd1ws13xud.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/10113828\/beauty-1.svg","author_name":"","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#f97fc8","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109588"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/114727"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
