I love this product! I've been using it for about a week, and I love what it does for me! It definately makes my face smooth and matte, but I prefer using a brush instead of the pad it comes...

When I first used this, I thought it was great. It's similar to MAC Blot powder and also cheaper (but is it discontinued now?) and is good for hiding my oily T-zone. However, the results would last...

This was my HG pressed powder. It took me years to find one that kept the oilies at bay and didn't break me out or give me the "Marie Antoinette" caked on too pale look. I haven't been able to...

I absolutely love this powder - "Translucent" is the perfect color for my fair skin. It is not expensive, doesn't cake or turn orange, controls oilies incredibly well, and has no scent....

I used this for 10 years prior to my acne problem, and loved it. My derm told me to switch to a loose powder and just blot oil during the day. Still, if I ever get my skin back under control,...

I got this in translucent. It does seem to control my oily t-zone to an extent, but after sometime Im still oily. I apply this with a big soft brush, rather than the applicator it comes with. ...

In my opinion, this is just an average pressed powder. The color selection leaves alot to be desired. The 'Ivory' was *way* too pink for my MAC NC20/Stila B/Px Sheer Vellum skin. Although, I did...

This blotting powder is incredibly effective. The problem is that it can make you look a little chalky (if you use the translucent). The packaging on this really sucks. If you drop the compact...

This is my holy grail! If you have oily and even sensitive skin you MUST try this! To let you know, one day I couldn't find my Almay and I substituted with the Laura Mercier powder that everyone...

I have very oily skin and this powder does a great job of soaking up the oil and leaving my face matte. This has to be one of the best pressed powders available. Also, it's not expensive at all,...

Wonderful stuff! I have Translucent, and this is the best pressed powder I have ever tried! Does not leave a weird chalky white (I use a brush usually), controls oil, super smooth and velvety, etc...

This pressed powder has great texture and blotting properties. It has permanently replaced my MAC blot because it is so similar and costs 1/3 of the Blot. It never looks cakey, doesn't turn...
