Not a good foundation

This really doesn't work well as a "foundation." It provides almost no coverage at all. I do use it quite a bit as a powder on top of my foundation, though. It leaves a nice finish, not too powdery.

Can't stand it!

The worst foundation I have ever tried. 1. The brush is extremely scratchy 2. "Flow-through" design doesn't work AT ALL-- I get zero product 95% of the time 3. When I actually get the powder out, it is highly metallic, shimmery, unflattering. They call this a glow. Pshh. Save your $12, and get L'oreal...10x better than this. Neutrogena, I love all your other products, but this is pathetic.

So Sheer It's Like It's Not Even There!

I've tried giving this foundation a good chance, but it simply does not work for me. If you've read my other reviews you know I like good coverage. I tried putting these biases aside when I tried this product. No matter how I tried to apply it, it felt like there was no makeup on my face. It looked like there was no makeup on my face. I do not mind sheer coverage in my makeup, but I want at l...read moreeast SOME coverage, I want it to at least do something. It was so sheer it wasn't even there. I prefer the mineral sheers powder compact foundation. I'm sure that its setup would make for a good travel companion, but again it has to dispense and do something. I'm disappointed in this product.

Great Mineral Foundation

I've given this foundation more time, and it has grown on me. It gives more coverage than the typical mineral foundation, and it helps with my oily skin. Compared to others on the market the price is very reasonable, and I definitely like the SPF 20 protection. The compact form makes this easy to apply and go. There is little mess and fuss with this mineral foundation. Overall it is a great buy.

Really nice foundation

This is a really good foundation especially if you want medium to a lot of coverage. The only thing that I can think of negative is you really have to make sure you ex foliate every week or more because other wise the foundation will turn orange and flaky. Really nice foundation otherwise. Goes on smooth, good for the skin, all the works! :)

Like it, not love....

I have oily skin, don't like heavy foundation and only need a little coverage. This didn't do much for my oily skin, it still was noticeable. But, it covered lightly and I couldn't feel it on. The first few times I wasn't even sure I was putting it on!! It doesn't really look like you have make-up on for a few minutes. I also had a hard time dispensing it, had to shake it for it to come out. I will probably try a different brand of mineral foundation before I come back to this.

looked like a mannequin

I bought this thinking it would be a faster, easier way to apply make-up. It is fast, but it does not apply evenly at all, and although I picked the shade that would most closely resemble my skin, I ended up looking like a cross between a store mannequin and a pumpkin. The color was completely unnatural and I ended up scrubbing it all off, and having to reapply all my creams, etc. Used it once and would never use it again.

A Great sheer light coverage foundation

I really like the way this powder goes on! The applicator is easy to hold and the powder comes out light enough to brush about. It gives my skin a luminous look and covers minor skin flaws and discolorations. I really feel the product is priced right around 12-15 dollars and lives up to its claims. It's hypoallergenic and really does not cause breakouts. The only problem I could talk about wou...read moreld be length of wear. As it is powder based, if you tend to have t zones that are oilier than not, you will have to reapply. You would find this with any powder, though and it is especially easy to reapply and convenient, too. This is a great low priced item!

Powdery

I have been using this for maybe about 2 months. Quality is great, could be better though. When you apply it feels powdery, maybe in 20 minutes it becomes absorbed and natural. Nobody can tell I'm wearing anything when I wear it.
