AMAZING COSMETICS VELVET MINERAL POWDER
I have used bare minerals in the past and while I liked the idea of mineral makeup, I was getting a reaction to the bare minerals..then I tried laura mercier loose minerals and had the same itchy reaction. After reading about these products I realized it must be the bismuth oxychloride..so I went on a search for a mineral foundation that didn't contain bismuth and I found amazing cosmetics velvet ...read moremineral and I love it! First of all the color light golden is a perfect match for my skin, it gives me amazing coverage, and it is long lasting! I live in houston where it is always hot and humid and I swear this is sweat proof as long as you are not wiping away sweat but blotting it away. Also I find this lasts longer if it is set with a setting powder..I use clinique translucent blend face powder. I have this in the loose version and the pressed..I find I can get better coverage with the loose minerals, and I like the pressed for travel since I really hate traveling with loose minerals. Overall I think this is a great product! This is for the pressed Velvet Mineral Powder.. This is good for people who don't like to wear a lot of makeup. I am light skinned with combination skin and slight acne on my cheeks. I just turned 30 and stated to use make-up to try to hide my face imperfections (acne scars, open pores, small spot of sun damage). All the things i mentioned are minor but I don't feel comfortable not covering them. I started using this pressed powder a year ago but I only use it with a brush. I love the way it makes my skin looks, it makes it look flawless and is if I was not wearing make-up at all. I don't wear a lot and can still see the acne scars unless I use concealer to hide them. My sister is a make-up fanatic and has tried tons of powders and feels this is the best out there. She recommended to me since I am a beginner with make-up and I can say I love the way it hides imperfections but still looks natural. For $30+ is worth the try. I purchased the set which included the concealer, pressed powder, and the mineral makeup and I'm sold on it. Amazing's Velvet Mineral has beautiful coverage w/out exposing my pores. I even brush it on my decollage. I can't say enough about it. My skin gets a little oily in summer and dry in winter and the makeup pretty much adjusts to my skin. I LOVE it!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 26 of 31 people said helpful

Not for me
This product is alright, look great on my sisters skin tone, and she says she absolutely loves it, best she's ever tried, but for me, I can't seem to find a shad that matches me! My face always looks too dark, or too light when compared to the rest of my body. It's hard for me to find a match. One plus, tho, is that, even with my extremely sensitive skin, I didn't not have any sort of breakout aft...read moreer the use of this product!

Impressed.
Overall, I enjoy using this product. I've been using it for roughly four months now, daily, and have yet to use half of the small jar it comes in, which is a plus. (: It's very expensive for such a small jar (I paid $34) and I don't think the quality matches the quantity or the price, so I will most likely not be repurchasing. However, I like the way this goes on my skin- it's a very natural look ...read morethat gives light coverage but can be built up. The lightest shade available is perfect for my fair skin with pink undertones, and I've never before been able to find such a perfect match. This does not seem to mattify, if that's what you're looking for, but it certainly doesn't cause me any trouble otherwise. I may rethink purchasing it in the future, but for now, my final word: I am very impressed with this powder, but I will most likely still search for a new one.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Review subject
I love this powder foundation! It's goes on easily and smoothly and it's a cinch to apply. I have very fair skin and found that the Ultra Light was the perfect color for me. It lets my skin show through and evens out my skintone. Lasts all day with little touchups. The concealer is phenomenal and together with the powder foundation makes your skin look flawless without either a shiny appearance or...read more chalky appearance. You can even control the amount of coverage you want from very natural to a more dramatic polished look. I have received so many compliments about my skin since I've been using this powder. I previously was using Chanel's powder foundation with success but wanted something different. This is even better than my Chanel powder foundation and even more natural looking. It goes on with a brush (sold separately but very good to use with this powder) so there are no sponges to keep clean. The container is small, perfect for stashing in your purse or makeup bag - perfect for traveling too. Be careful when you open it the first time or the powder will spill out when you remove the paper cover. Highly recommend!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 8 people said helpful
