Love This!
mvap47 (345 reviews)

Love this! It is a bit expensive, but it is also lasting way longer than I had thought. I apply it over everything, foundation, blush, etc. as a finishing powder, leaving my face looking smooth and fresh. — 4 years, 6 months ago

Disappointing
amygab1126 (240 reviews)

I'm very dissatisfied with this powder. First off, the lightest shade they make is somehow STILL too dark for my skin. I'm not that white, am I? Secondly, it doesn't cover that well. Last, it doesn't stop shine for any amount of time. It actually has a slight metallic sheen to it, which I hate. This was way too pricey to be this bad. — 3 years, 7 months ago

my secret weapon
theweezies (7 reviews)

amygab1126, they're inconsistent sometimes with the quality. i've had a bad one once in a while but i've been using this for over 20 yr and it looks like airbrushing. i'm very very pale so i use transparent, transparent light (really pale) or creamy natural, which is paler than it looks. everyone comments on my skin and i tell them, i don't wake up like this! — 1 month, 1 week ago

Awesome!
BHickey811 (16 reviews)

I have combination skin that can be really oily in the T-zone and really dry on my cheeks & around my mouth, also some blemishes from time to time. Hard to find something that fits the bill for my skin. This product does just that. Its not super mattifying but not super dry either. Great coverage, good staying power. I agree with other users about the brush that comes with it, use a kabuki instead. If people who have tried this product think it was too drying for them, i use it under or over a light tinted moisturizer or spray moisturizer (Clinique Moisture Surge Spray or Mac Fix+ spray) on top after I'm finished. — 7 months, 3 weeks ago

don't use it!
razzberrry (4 reviews)

It looks fine in good lighting, but once you go outside our face looks like you're wearing a mask! It may be that I got a shade that was too light, but I think it was all of the minerals. The sunlight made my skin look flat and fake like a mask, and within 2 hours, it was already cracking and caking all over my face, especially near the corners of my mouth from smiling. — 1 year, 6 months ago

Awful
marenrush (1 reviews)

Not good, doesn't blend well and very dry, brush that comes with it is odd and doesnt make applying smooth and easy like other mineral powder brushes. — 1 year, 11 months ago

Covers the pimples that it causes lol
ArmenianGal (37 reviews)

I've used this product for about a year. I was using Lancome pressed powder before that, and since this one was cheaper and it had a good coverage, I fell in love. However, i had to go back to my expencive powders, thus this one clogged my pores and I ended up having terrible acnes all over my face. I should have listened to some friends who told me about the negative sides of this product earlier...the coverage is good though. It's just like MAC, only cheaper. — 2 years ago

Super
bootsonbarelegs (21 reviews)

I've used many other high end brands of mineral pressed powers, and I was about halfway through my second Pur Mineral 4 in 1 compact, when I saw this at the drugstore, being a lover of their eyeshadow, mascara and bronzer, I decided to give this a try. I abandoned my Pur compact immediately after trying this! Its really great. For pale girls like me, the lightest shade works great, not orange and not too pink. The coverage is fantastic, covers up blemishes nicely and it feels light on the skin. You can layer this over liquid foundation or a tinted moisturizer as i've done, but on its own it makes a great foundation too. The only cons are the packaging, which is bulky and the brush -- I use my own kabuki with this for the best results. — 2 years, 2 months ago

I'm Impressed!!
fashionbeautylove (16 reviews)

I have been using MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural by itself (and sometimes with the matching foundation) but let's be honest, who has the time for foundation and powder everyday? This was a bonus when I purchased the blush(which I also like) and so far, it is great. It has great staying power, and for my usually oily afternoons, this was WAY BETTER in controlling oil than the MAC!! Also, it has added SPF and less ingredients for my acne-prone skin. I feel good about wearing it, and it looks good too. I am using Buff Beige, and I have yellow undertones but I might try another color next time to get a more perfect match and see how the colors compare. Make sure to use a powder brush, one sweep is all you need. I give it a 8 only because I prefer when foundations are given a number instead of a name since it is easier to find out my shade, plus in every store, the colors seem to be limited! — 2 years, 6 months ago

Love this face powder!
MegPie504 (4 reviews)

This face powder covers flaws almost as well as foundation does! Only thing is that they make the compact, well not so compact. The compact takes up way too much space in my make up bag, but it works good so I guess it makes up for it. — 2 years, 9 months ago
