Great powder
Lately my skin has been going through extreme turbulence--one month it's dry, the next it's normal, the next after that it's an oil slick. Needless to say, during my oily time I bought one of these powders. As much of a HUGE Nars fan I am, I was still a bit depressed to pay $45 for a pressed powder. What I love about it is that it's ultra refined and it never looks cakey on my skin--even on my super dry flakey patches on my chin. This absors oil and kills shine very well too. These powdered foundations come in many more shades than the original pressed powders. Large Sephora stores will have few, but they won't have the full line unlike Nars boutiques. The colors will match anyone beautifully. This powdered foundation has SPF 12 in it, as well as the fact that it gives better coverage than the standard pressed powders. What I don't like is how big and bulky the packaging is. I do like that it has a big mirror, but this "compact" reminds me of one of the older Blackberry phones in terms of size. It's not pocket-friendly, that's for sure. The bottom raises to reveal a cheap white sponge. That really irritated me!!! Yeah, I suppose you'd be able to replace them easily with any sponge from the drug store, but if I'm going to pay $45 for a pressed powder, I want a pretty sponge--not a cheap and flimsy piece of latex! Also, even though you think you find a shade that is closest to you, unless you buy this at a Nars boutique, you're not going to have easy access to ALL the shades to ensure that you find the best fitting shade for you. I would like a little better consistency between what Sephora stores and Nars boutiques offer. Fortunately for me, I still rely on liquid foundation because I need the fuller coverage. Therefore, I'm only going to need a little bit each day to remove shine and touch up on areas needing a little bit more of coverage. However for someone who relies solely on a powder foundation--unless you're a Nars loyalist, you may run out of this extremely quickly and another $45 will be used up. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Really like this
I happen to really like this foundation. Goes on smooth, not too thick and leaves you looking very natural. I just wish there was a little more foundation for the price paid. — 5 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
