MK reformulated their loose powders (again) in late 2021/ early 2022 and it's fine. Not amazing and not bad. It is now called "Silky Setting Powder" and retails for $20.00 and comes in 12 shades. Yo...Read more

I hate this powder. It doesn't do anything to my oily skin, it would be okay if you apply it every half an hour using it without any make up under it. To seal my base and concealer is the worst, it gi...Read more

I have the loose powder in beige 1, goes on good and actually stays on well for me. It controls my oily skin.

I have pretty fair skin and have trouble finding a powder that is light enough that doesn't change color after a while due to my oily skin. Both the pressed and the loose MK powders remain true to c...Read more

Loose powder is excellent for oily skin and I think that this is a wonderfully inexpensive loose powder. I have tried MAC and Neutrogena and this is by far better than they are. I have fair skin so ...Read more

This stuff is ok. It mattifies the shine u get from makeup or oiliness. Overall, if u have dry spots, it makes them worse. ALso, u better be real tanned to use the beige color w/out looking yellow.

This is a great product, it is not heavy and does not make me break out. So I love it. I don't feel like I have powder on. It is also reasonable priced. I would definitely but this again and again.

I really like this powder. I have it in beige and ivory. Sheer, soft, doesn't break me out. The price is great -- you get a lot too!

I like the texture of the loose powder and the coverage. I have this in light ivory and it is quite yellow, but flatters me anyhow. This should last a while, so worth the money.

I'll qualify this review by saying that I don't particularly like loose powders, but I love Mary Kay products. That being said I thought I'd give this a chance, but it really isn't that great. I was...Read more
