    Bought this pressed powder in NC15 for the first time around the month of May 2004 and I like it most of the time, as I have not been able to find a pressed powder that works any better (but am...

    i love this product, it's one of my few staples. i have really oily, shine-prone skin but i don't like the idea of wearing heavy powder foundation, so this is an excellent alternative. i can still...

    I'm glad MAC came out with the Select Sheer powders. I bought pressed only because none of the stores carrying MAC at the Houston Galleria had NC40 in loose. So far I like this much better than...

    This is the best pressed powder I've ever used. I don't wear foundation and this powder ( I use NC30) provides sheer coverage to make my skin look smooth and shine-free.

    This powder is great! It applies very evenly and gives a good finish. I also really love the compact. Very sleek and cute! I will definately be buying this again.

    I tried this instead of the blot powder I usually buy because the blot powder compact always breaks. Its a lot lighter, a nice change. Good Product.

    Love this! Just as good (if not better) than Lancome Photogenic, but less expensive ($19.50). I use NC5 which is wonderfully translucent and works great w/out foundation.
