    I tried this as a pressed powder for a d/s foundation. I can't believe its considered a pressed powder when it completely changed the beautiful color i had underneath it. Its cakey and oxidized in...

    I only use this product on areas that need it (t-zone) and I find this a wonderful product, and kept me nice and matt, but still not too dry even when I was quite sweaty under lots of lights on...

    This is the only brand of pressed powder I've ever used so I can't review it against other brands. Using it in NC25. It's good for setting makeup and touching up. What I like most about it is its...

    Not my cup of tea. It does its job a little too well. It keeps me shine free, but is entirely too cakey. I always come out looking as though I've stuck my face in a sack of flour. If you're wanting...

    I've never been fond of Mac's powders before because they are not as light as I would like them to be, they tend to be thick & cakey. Fortunately, with Mac's new Select Sheer collection, the...

    I had been using the MAC studiofix foundation/powder, but since my skin is pretty good, I decided that I just wanted a powder. I actually really like this product. I bought it in NC40 and it made...

    I find the name of this pressed powder to be quite misleading ... I don't find this pressed powder to be very sheer at all, it's actually quite pigmented and heavy ... it seems to just sit on the...

    I love this stuff- I don't wear much foundation, usually just a tinted moisturizer type deal with some concealer on select spots, and this is the perfect finish on it. It's smooth and soft and it...

    This one's a big "MISS" for MAC- have to say, I'm really disappointed and it's going right back this weekend. I just got this powder in my normal color NC30 and it went on VERY cakey and uneven,...

    Great powder. Feels amazing. Doesn't dry me out. Turns orange. I bought it in NC5 (the lightest colour available) and 4 hours later my face is the colour of a carrot. I'm not kidding. This goes back.

    I've used this for the past two years. I don't wear makeup daily that's probably why I kept using this for so long. First of all, it contains talc which I am staying away from now as you shouldn't...

    I like this pressed powder as it takes away the shine in my t-zone yet doesn't leave a chalky finish like other pressed powders can. I have used MAC's Blot Powder and while it's great for keeping...

    I have this in NC40. I have yellow undertones, and the SA picked NC40 for me. It looks a little orange under some lights, but I think during summer it'll be a good match. I use this over concealer...

    I have purchased this product again and again. It gives your skin a flawless finish. The only thing I dislike is that you have to re-apply every few hours to beat the shine. I use it over MAC's...
