Too thick

I used a brush to apply this like I do with all powder foundations I use and this went on really thick, powdery-looking and dry. Returned.

Matches perfectly

I thought that the natural beige was going to be to light on my skin.. and when i put it on it instantly blended in perfectly. This is a GREAT powder that i absolutely recommend. I do not like face makeup at all but this created a perfect canvas for the rest of my makeup to follow

very good!

i love this powder, it's light but not drying. if you use the sponge you get a medium coverage, with a brush a light finish (which i love). not too matte, not too glittery, just perfect. the color blends easily with your natural skin tone. attention when you use the brush, lightly touch the powder, don't bee too hard or it will go everywhere! i love the fact that it contains natural ingredients and pearl powder. i highly recommend it!

Love this- definitely a new powder staple for me!

I had been very devoted to MAC Studio Fix Powder ever since I can remember wearing makeup.. maybe ten years or so. I will still continue to use it in conjunction with this product, alternating, of course. I am a MAC junky by nature, so it really takes something special to divert my attention.. and after using the Laura Mercier Pressed Mineral Powder for about a month or so, I really wish I'd disco...read morevered this stuff sooner. I think most of all I love the diversity of it.. you can use it in a flash if you don't have time for primer, foundation, concealer AND powder. You can wake up in the morning, dab on some moisturizer and throw this on. Better yet, you can use a concealer brush for any extra coverage you may need. I have combination skin with a little extra shine in the t-zone area and normal/drier cheeks, and I find that using this more liberally in my t-zone and less so elsewhere works magically. It works hard to soak up oil where it has to and doesn't dry me out elsewhere. I appreciate the SPF 15 quite a bit as well as it seems many other powders don't seem to try to utilize any sort of SPF, and every last bit of it you can get is helpful (unless of course you want to age prematurely.) I could continue to sing praises for this stuff but I will simply say that if I were forced right now to throw all my makeup away (heaven forbid) I would keep this over all else cause it really does it all.

Good Powder

I bought this powder after reading many reviews online about how it goes on matte and takes away any shine. While this may be true for some, it didn't exactly work for me. I found it left oily, shininess around the lines from my nose to the corners of my mouth when I smile. I was constantly having to apply loose powder to my face to cover up the shininess. This enough was reason not to use it anym...read moreore. I think this powder would be great for people with dryer skin. If you're looking for full-coverage, this is definitely a great purchase. I don't know if it was worth the $35 dollars when I could have bought a studio fix from MAC which for slightly cheaper and had better results.
