Joan Rivers Beauty Great Hair Day Fill-In Powder - Root Cover Up for Thinning Hair - Thicker and Fuller Hair (Dark Brunette)

No dislikes. Recommend for those whose hair is not as thick as it once was.

Great hair enhancement. Takes away the shine and scalp color to match hair. Not messy or sticky. Really works on widening hair parts. Actually makes hair seem fuller. Quick and easy to use. The compact and brush are really nice too.

Just got it, thus not used to much, but so far it provides excellent coverage with very natural effect. Small brush allows you to control application. Not yet noticed any transfer to clothes or bedding, but I’ll update the review after some use.

For me, this product is much better for disguising my thin hair than filament powders on the market because the application process is very precise and similar to applying eye shadow. The pressed powder allows you to add as much or as little colour as you want. The brush that comes with it is an ideal size and I am able to load it up and apply more product to my hair part and a very thin area on the top of my scalp or just dab it on the compact for the lighter amount of product I need for improving my hairline. The brush also blends the fill-in powder nicely for an even result. The application process didn't take me much time but I expect as I continue to use this product, the application time will become quicker. I really like this fill-in powder and recommend it to anyone who has been frustrated with other products that are messy, clumsy to apply, and hard to achieve an even and subtle result with.

I have tried different products to cover gray roots between salon visits. This Joan Rivers product was advertised in a clothing catalog. I did some research and ordered from this site the "blonde" as reccomended by several reviews and YT presentations. One presenter said blonde is what 80% of people will use. The pressed powder in the pan is dark brown, however when it is tapped in with the brush it covers the root line at the part, thinning temples and crown. This blends in I have blonde highlights, medium to light brown hair and "wicked" white roots according to my stylist. Start farther back and move towards the front of the face. Short, quick taps worked best for me. It is buildable. I worked out and slept with the product in. No transfer or icky brown sweat. Washed out fully. The bristle brush does shed but I decided not to let that bother me. If you want a better brush there are expensive cosmetic ones, the art section at craft stores may have better price point. There are also angled retractable brushes for foundation. I have an extra one. I may try that with the bristles barely out of the tube. Some reviews had trouble opening the case. There is a verticle line on the cover press it down and the compact swings open. Regarding the smell. It is very light, not unpleasant or noticable after a few minutes post application. I will update as needed and ost photos when I have time.
