This is my foundation

I really like this foundation. When I purchased it I thought it was one of those foundations that turned from cream to powder. Not so. The story as I understand it was created as the original foundation. I believe it has zinc oxide in it which works well for the sun. It is thick but creamy. I just take it and put it on forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Then, I blend outward. The most cove...read morerage goes in the center of the face. It is very thick in the container and when it goes on but It does not feel heavy at all. It is a nice dewey finish and it is perfect for winter or summer. In the winter, it really protects your face from the cold weather. I don't know if it has any moisturizing properties but my face does not feel dry. I think it has an sf of 15. It absorbs well. I have never run into a product or foundation like this before. I highly recommend. In the summer, I do like to put a sheer powder on it only because I sweat so much. In winter I just take powder and put on t zone. Then I put blush on top with light bronzer like a 3 around the face. I use the angled foundation brush they came out with in the past year and really like the way the foundation blends in. I highly recommend. I was told I looked "radiant"

Powder Base

Powder base, means a base for powder. Use it summer or winter. you can perspire right thru it, and it won't run or come off. I have used it for over 60 years and have never found anything as good. Makes your facial skin look flawless!

A Great Cold Weather Foundation

POWDER BASE is a misnomer for this foundation because there is nothing powdery about it. It looks and feels good on skin that tends to be dry, or in cold weather months. I doubt that it will work as well as during the hot summer. Even in winter it tends to be a little wet. In any event, I have tried other Merle Norman foundations and this one is the best for the price.

Used for 55 years

There is nothing better for protection compared to anything else on the market as far as prevention of sun damage, acme, and keeping your skin looking young. After experimenting with all brands there is no compairson. Makes your face look fawless when applied properly year after year and keeps you looking younger than you are and you get constant compliments on how natural you look.

Good Stuff

I use this in the winter when the air is dry. Great coverage and it blends well. This does not feel heavy or greasy and it lasts me all day. Cost me $22 at my local Merle Norman. Well worth it !

for the best coverage

I finally found the best foundation in the world. I don't know why it is called powder base, because there is nothing powdery about it. Goes on great & very moist (great in winter when your skin is dry) I have a lot of redness & broken blood vessels in my face & this is the only foundation that actually covers it all up & doesn't leave me looking like a clown. The ladies at merle norman will help you find you exact color match. You won't be sorry! under $20
