    It will do in a pinch

    I've tried several different brands of mineral makeup, and would rank this toward the bottom of my list. The first major problem with it is the included brush-you are better off using your own. I find that this product looks good on my skin initially, but the paler shades turn an odd orange color if they are left on your skin for more than an hour or two. Perhaps this has something to do with them mixing with the oil in the skin, or oxidization, or both. Additionally, if you have dry skin or fine lines in some areas, it seems like this highlights that fact. All in all, it will do in a pinch, but would never be my first choice. — 4 years, 3 months ago

    It has it's good and it's bad characteristics

    I would have to agree with another reviewer that it is not as good as others. To me, the coverage is nice, but the problem that I'm having is the matching of my skin tone. I just might have to mix a few colors to get it right. I would recommend only to somebody that doesn't have much money and only if the color is matched perfect. I'm really 50/50 with this foundation. — 1 year ago

    Better coverage than most mineral brands

    I love this foundation for the price. I have tried other mineral powder foundations but have a couple of red spots to cover, etc. and i always ended up using liquid underneath. Whit this one I don't. I just apply a little more in the areas I need a little more coverage. I have had almost no breakouts since I switched. I also like that it is not so shiny as some of the mineral foundations. It is light diffusing but not greasy shiny looking. I don't think I will go back to liquids or creams again. I agree with others that say the brush is not the best, but I keep one in my makeup bag for touch-ups since it is fairly small. — 4 years, 4 months ago

    Pleasantly Surprised!

    My sister raved about this product. She has much clearer and less oily skin than I do, so I wasn't very optimistic that it would work as well for me as it did for her. I was pleasantly suprised. Provided good coverage and so easy to apply - really made my morning rountine simpler; I don't think I'll ever go back to liquid foundation! I also use the blush and I like that, too. As I mentioned, I have oily skin and it does need touch-up throughout the day. But, I have not found ANY make-up that doesn't require touch-ups for my oily skin. — 1 year ago

    It's great!

    I love this powder foundation! Its very light but surpisingly it has good coverage light but its good. It also has SPF in it which I really love especially when living in Florida. The brush that it comes with is tiny and a little hard, I just use my fluffy powder brush which works better. Ten dollars is a pretty good price because the little container is going to last a really long time, a little goes a long way. I plan to use this for a while! — 1 year ago

    I must say this product is really good

    I am a woman of color and I usually wear products from higher end companies. The other day I totally ran out of my makeup. I had a party that night and needed something quick, so I went to my nearest drugstore and found Maybelline New York Mineral Power Natural Bronzing Veil in Sunkissed. Boy was I surprised by the results!! The coverage is flawless and I even noticed a bit of a glow in my face. It doesn't make my face look oily, which happens with the other products that I used to use. The best part was the price!! Its half the price of the higher end stuff that I will no longer use again. To all the women of color out there please try this product....you will be pleasantly surprised just like I was. I even got a friend to try it out. Thanks Maybelline : ) — 1 year ago

    Works Well!

    This is the first mineral foundation I've tried. I was pleasantly surprised. I have very oily skin and am prone to breakouts. Provides nice coverage (and really simplifies my makeup rountine in the morning!). My face does need a touch up mid-day and I'm going to try the pressed mineral powder that another user suggested. I know that it doesn't work for everyone, but for the price, why not try it? I also used the blush and like that as well. — 4 years, 6 months ago

    Eh....

    As soon as I put this on I thought - orange. The shade I chose was fairly light, well it appeared that way, and then when I tried it I found out otherwise. Although it went on rather smoothly/easily, it had an orange tone to it which I disliked. I wouldn't buy it again. — 4 years, 6 months ago

    Not as good as others

    I tried this because I was out of my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation. It just does not compare. The coverage is okay, but they don't have the perfect shade for me. The brush they give with purchase is a joke. I think I'll stick to my BE. — 1 year ago

    Not impressed

    This is my first try at mineral makeup, and it really makes me look like I'm wearing a mask. It feels thick and almost greasy on my face, much worse than the tinted moisturizer I had been using (and I have dry skin, but this product makes my skin actually look oily). It is easy to apply, but not really easy to blend to get a more natural look. — 1 year ago
