Flawless

Starluxe (298 reviews)

If you're looking for a clean, matte, and all around powder foundation, this may be right for you. I've had days when I've had really dry skin and days when my skin is overly oily and this would be a good fit. I usually use MAC StudioFix Powder which is another love of mine but when my shade wasn't available, I went to this. This is very versatile, buildable, and not overly thickening which reduces the look of a mask. It also reduces shine. The great aspect about the Shiseido line is that there are yellow undertones in their make up which about 90-95% of all ethnic backgrounds really need. They are lacking the more darker tones so this wouldn't be suitable for highly pigmented skin so the range would be from porcelain to olive skin. The applicator is also a sponge so it can be easily washed to avoid bacteria, it's in a sleek dark shell shaped compact, with a separate compartment for the sponge itself. This is a lovely addition to your makeup collection and worth the splurge for a good powder foundation. It's finely milled so you don't have to worry about that heavy powder flaky look. I had to update this because I have to say that this is the best way to set a foundation as well because it lasts so long. I just recently have been tanned a bit and 040 is too light and 060 has been to dark. With the latex sponge, I press this 040 foundation powder over the 060 and it matches my complexion to a tee with a beautiful dewy finish. TIP: IF you want a dewy finish to enhance the skin airbrushed look, look for a sheer water spray like Aquafina or Evian and lightly spray this over the powder on the face and you get a great finish. — 3 years, 11 months ago

Very Natural

AshleyMichelle (4 reviews)

This powder goes on very natural, in a sheer to medium coverage, that is very buildable. I first tried this after reading many fabulous reviews about it, and wasn't disappointed. It does an amazing job at gliding over pores, without accentuating them, and doesn't make dry skin look flaked. However, I do recommend that you apply this with a Kabuki brush, rather than the sponge it comes with, for a more natural look. — 2 years, 9 months ago

I wish I'd found this sooner! The best powder foundation out there

CKim (42 reviews)

This is an all-around fabulous powder foundation with medium coverage-the powder itself is very light and natural looking. I was initially wary of the color choices as the range seems limited, but I am beyond impressed with how perfectly it matches my light, yellow-undertone skin; I wear O20. I also layer this on top of foundation for added coverage, and it still looks natural and feels light on the skin. In addition, this is light enough to use for touch-ups, as it does not become cakey. The price is very reasonable, especially since you buy the compact once and purchase the powder refill thereafter, which means you save money and produce less packaging waste. — 2 years, 10 months ago
