    The powder has a nice, sheer texture. It gives a featherweight and a glowing finish! The only problem I have with this product is that I have to reapply a lot of times because of my oily skin. I...

    I just purchased this product a week ago. I'm a NC40. I have got to say that this is a great powder! I apply it with a powder brush and it leaves a very smooth, velvety, silky feel to the skin....

    Takes away shine really well although re-applying is needed later on in the day. A good product that I'd repurchase.

    I use this rather amazing pressed powder in NC20 for my light/medium complexion. It leaves my skin with a nice soft matte and even finish. I'm not sure about how the oil-control compares with Blot...

    I'm really impressed with this - goes on nicely with a brush and comes in a good range of shades (I'm using NW5). The powder is milled really fine and lasts well over foundation without caking or...

    I can't say a bad thing about this product. I use NC55 and it matches my skin perfectly and I could probably wear it by itself. ~:>)

    I was at MAC to replenish my beloved Blot Powder in Medium when the SA recommended this. Overall, it's a pretty good product - good texture, smooth finish and it really does last quite awhile. On...

    This is definitely my HG pressed-powder (loose powder is T.Leclerc). I found the perfect color for my almost PPP (NC20) ; if I apply it with a brush, it's very light, just enough to fix my...

    I can't say enough about this powder. It sets beautifully over a light foundation with a nice light blush. At first it looked sort of dry, but after an hour or so it just looked silky and my face...

    The best powder I've ever tried! It looks natural, sets my makeup, doesn't turn orange, and doesn't let my shine show through. I had previously used Studio Fix, but I found it too heavy for my...

    Wonderful stuff!! Very good @ setting my foundation. Goes on sheer, but still gives coverage without looking too cakey and overdone.

    Very nice, finely milled product. Not the best at controlling shine, but not the worst. Paired with MAC Blot powder for touch-ups it works well.
