I love this product! I can't stand the messiness of liquid foundations, so I always go with a powder foundation formula. Even after trying different brands, I always come back to this. Doesn't look...

I have tried BE, Merle Norman, and Pur minerals, and this exceeded them all. I like the fact that it's not "loose" powder, it's easy to carry for touchups. It looks far more natural, in my...

First let me say I wouldn't classify this as a powder foundation, to me it's more like a richer and softer powder. This is the only compact I have been able to use, all the others make my face...

I am very impressed with this product. The only con I found was that it's a little drying on my skin. I have oily skin though and I like the way it controls the oil. I've been using my purestay...

This is the best drugstore powder I have used. I have very fair skin, and Ivory is the perfect match! It covers extremely well for a powder. I only need one layer and my face looks pretty flawless....

This is great to set my foundation and for touchups when the oil shines. The problem: I always carry this around in my pocket or backpack and the slightest bump causes the powder to break. I think...

I bought this product because I read these reviews. But this Foundation didn't work for me. At first, limited color. -didn't match my skin tone-, bit flakey and no coverage.

I got this in buff...good powder foundation, but what I dislike about it is that the effects don't last that long and my face is like an oil slick by mid-day. It also tended to make my face drier...
