Best poweder sunscreen & coverage

Oh my gosh, I've been using this product since 2009 & it is awesome, not like the others sold in spas as well. My girls 9 & 13 don't like sunscreens, but they love the translucent eminence option. I bought them their own. It's worth the price and gives me great coverage! The smell is wonderful and I carry one in my bag and one just for home. I always buy this products in three's becuz they tend to sell out fast.

Limited color choice

Very limited color choice and caused me breakouts. Too expensive.

Eminence Mineral Powder

I love this, a No4 is for someone ethnic so maybe this is why it is the wrong tone. I am between a 2 and 3 depending if I have tanned or not. It is light, allows your skin to breathe and I personally never broke out and have been using it over 2 years. I am also prone to hormonal breakouts. It is powder, sunblock and foundation in one and will last 6-8 months. This adds up to what less than 8 buck...read mores a month. I also have my children use it and it definately works. No more sunburns on any of us! I never use anything else and it is water resistant, awesome. And all natural, no garbage:)

ehhh...

I'm not thrilled with this purchase for the price tag. There are not enough color selections to choose from and the one I chose is too orange for my skin. It didn't look natural in the sunlight. There are better brands with better price tags out there. Let this one go.

Excellent product

I'm a minimalist and really appreciate this dual-purpose sunscreen and facial powder. It can be a little drying on my skin (or maybe that's just the Denver climate), so I like to set it with a few spritzes of NAPCA moisturizing spray. It's pretty much the only makeup I ever use. I haven't had problems with bristles falling out, as the other user mentioned. My only complaint - the excess packaging! Why package it in a wooden box that gets thrown away?!

Shedding Brush

I like the look I achieved with this product and the fact that is has a high level sunscreen. What I don't like is the fact the the brush bristles break off and shed and I have to take time to get all of these tiny bristles off of my face!

May not be so good for acne prone skin

I used this product for about a month on my faceand I started to breakout with all these whiteheads everywhere on my face! I do have sensitive skin and thought this would work perfectly for me but it just didn't. I still use it on my neck and chest and shoulders though for the spf protection. It provides a great bronzing effect if you buy it in the darker color for the summer which is what I do. ...read more I also buy the transculent color to use at the beach or park or if I am just out strolling (on my neck and shoulders) for the spf protection. Just be careful ladies if you breakout easily if you use it on your face. I was using the rosehip whip moisturizer at the same time and it could have been the moisturizer causing me to get all those whiteheads but I am not going to take the chance again and find out.

Takes time to master the wand

I have to admit, this product would never have caught my eye had I not been caught up in a post treatment afterglow. The day spa I had a massage at quickly whisked me away to a "complimentary makeup application" and next thing I knew, I had bought this in Honey Apple! It was unavoidable because the makeup artist did such a good job selling it, I couldn't wait to take it home and give it ...read morea go. It does take a few applications to get the right effect. You need to play around with it to see how much product comes out at what angles, and how fluffy or stiff you want your brush to be. But, that's the great thing about the product. You can play around with it and vary your application. You have to spritz your face with an alcohol free toner to set. I'm a little wary about not being able to wash the brush. That part is bothering me, since I normally wash my brushes pretty often. Will keep an eye on that part. Other than that, it's another great product from Eminence.
