Just alright.
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)

The shade selection is decent. The coverage is on the light/light-medium side. The brush that it comes with is a little scratchy, and not very useful. I like the grater type mechanism, but it does make the packaging bulky. It is just kind of an average powder--not particularly long lasting, or mattifying. I do like that it has SPF. Not going to repurchase, but I'll probably use up what I have left. — 1 year, 1 month ago

Great for Oily Skins!
Daggeris (45 reviews)

I've tried many oil control powders and this one is by far the best! I can't say my skin is oil/shine free for 8 hours but for a good 4 hours which is more than I can say for other powders I've tried. I just take an oil absorbing sheet to get rid of the shine starting to develop on my face during a hard day of work and my skin looks refreshed and I don't need to reapply powder again. Just great overall light/moderate coverage and definitely natural looking. And the way yo just spin it till you get the right amount of powder you need is great because I don't loose or use too much powder. I can't say how long it's lasted me yet (been at it for a month only) but I think it'll last me another month or two or so... Definitely the best powder I've tried for my skin :D — 3 months ago

satisfied
escoso4594 (24 reviews)

I'm actually pretty satisfied with this powder! Along with Stay-True Makeup, it gives me a flawless finish in no time. It stays put for hours and you don't need too much product. I definitely buying this stuff again! For me, it's worth saving the money! Though, you still can try Stay Matte Sheer Pressed Powder for some bucks less and it'll give you perfect results too. — 10 months, 3 weeks ago

super disappointed =(
angelcake77 (90 reviews)

i was honestly very disappointed and unimpressed with this product. i saw that it had high ratings, so i gave it a try. it is not long-wearing or good at controlling oily skin like it claimed (i got oily within 2 hrs). at first i was impressed with the packaging but it actually ended up getting all over my makeup bag. i tried so hard to make this stuff work and applied it in a number of different ways and even went back to the mall a few times but still couldn't find the right shade. it doesn't even give a very good coverage, and when you do put more on it makes your skin look cakey and super powdery. the price for it is super expensive and found out that it contains talc and bismuth oxychloride = skin irritant. plus, what really disappointed me was that the lady at the counter told me how wonderful and fantastic this was and persuaded me to buy it, but when i finally decided to return it, she told me that she honestly didn't like the powder either for the same reasons and said she doesn't blame me for returning it. if you're looking for a mineral foundation, i would recommend physician's formula mineral loose powder instead. i costs like 5 times cheaper (be sure to catch the sales and coupons), is talc-free, way less ingredients, and give you an amazing, flawless coverage. — 2 years, 7 months ago

The NEW Mineral Fad?
ThePastyHarlot (121 reviews)

Superbalanced is a neat powder. I think I actually like the packaging better than the powder itself. The innovative grater design is fantastic for grating up JUST enough powder (and subsequently not dumping too much all over your lap). The antibacterial brush is certainly a plus too (although brush cleaner is still a must), but I do prefer a larger brush for better application. I like that you can take the coverage from sheer to medium coverage just by building on a little more. Make sure to get color-matched, though, because I bought the #2 thinking it looked right and I really need the #1. Let's just say that #2 is my summer color when I'm outdoors, ha ha ha. — 1 year, 3 months ago
