I think it is evident from the number of reviews and rating on this product that it is one of the best in the market. My skin is sensitive and oily. When I get more sun on my face, my face...

What a great product! I got both this and the loose Amazing Base and they are both awesome mineral foundations. The Pure Pressed Base offers all the benefits of the loose, but portable and more...

Fabulous....and I had tried them all!Laura Mercier, BE, Aromaleigh, Prescriptives, MAC, Bobby Brown, etc. Combine the pressed base with JI Pure Matte Finish Powder and you have a great combo!...

Add me to the converted list! I thought BE was the end-all of foundations, until the gorgeous BarbiH suggested I try JI. At $3 for a sample from skin-etc.com, how could I resist? I tried the...

I got samples of this in Warm Silk and Satin. I LOVE the packaging for this, but it just doesn't give me the coverage I need. It's also too matte. I wish BE made a pressed mineral makeup. Sigh. I...

I have used about three compacts of the JI in Satin. It's a terrific product! I tried Bare Escentuals and it's nice but messier and has more glimmer. JI is easier to carry around in the purse...

I truly love JI pure pressed base compact SPF 17. I used to use neutrogena healthy defense spf 30 before it was discontinued. Thank God it was, otherwise, I wouldn't have found JI powder. JI...

I simply love this product. It may seem costly, but in comparison to how long it last, I think it's inexpensive. I've tried different types of mineral makeup before, but always went back to Laura...

Excellent product. Am 39 with very fair, acne-prone skin (still! darn!). Have been using this in Warm Silk for a month -- what a find. Researched a bunch of other minerals before settling on this...

This is the perfect foundation. I like the fact that it is buildable, which does take some getting used to since you can't "see" it going on. I use The Handi brush to put it on which is a blunt,...

The only reason I give it 4 lippies is because the pressed base colors are darker than their amazing base equivalents. It works out for me to use in the summer when my skin is a bit darker anyway,...

I got a sample of Honey Bronze to take home from a day-spa that sells J.I. I heard that the pressed powder is matte, which I thought would look good; but it turns out that after an hour or 2, the...

This is my HG power foundation. I’m on my third compact. I have it in Bisque, which is a decent match for my NW20 skin – if a teeny bit on the yellow side. It does not irritate my sensitive,...
