    Siplistic Pakaging with a nice press-button closure. The powder itself is great, and does a wonderful job of taking care of oils throughout the entire day. I have this in NC45, because it contrasts...

    So far, I love this. It may be a bit premature, as I just bought it today, but I got it in NW5 and I love it. It's the perfect color, and it gives better coverage than I expected. Silky, sheer. ...

    i really like this powder so far.. it is super sheer and very matte so instead of giving you shine, it takes it away. i wear this over MAC's studio fix matte foundation (from the tube) and it gives...

    LOVE this powder. I have it in NC 20 and for a "sheer" powder, I am really pleased with the level of coverage it provides. I can wear it over bare skin for a casual look or layer it over Select...

    This is my first time with a MAC powder, but I'm surprised at the quality of this. I was between NW5 and NW15, but went with the NW15. It's very silky, and has a nice finish. It lets enough skin...

    THIS IS THE BEST POWDER YOU WILL EVER BUY!!! I have trouble finding a suitable pressed powder as I have oily skin & most powders look blotchy by the end of the day. MAC goes on beautifully,...

    I really wanted to like this, since I'm a big fan of MAC Blot Powder in the summer & was looking for a less drying alternative for winter. While the texture is just what I was after, incredibly...

    I like this powder for everyday use. I have the NC30. I find it gives a nice finish to my makeup. It also gives a nice glow to my skin.

    This one comes with a sponge, and the texture is smooth yet comes on pretty sheer compared to the regular pressed powder. I like that it doesn't look cakey, although I don't mind it when I use my...

    This powder, although the name claims it is sheer, tends to leave my face cakey after I apply it after foundation. It was like any other powder.

    I have this in NC25, and it looks like they took the exact color of my skin and just turned it into a powder. (I am light-medium Asian complected). I've rarely had gripes w/ texture of powders, but...

    This powder is so perfect. It isn't chalky or cakey, it glides on and leaves a nice matte finish, very smooth in texture. I have NC30, I would repurchase this again :) I am oily acne prone and I...

    I love this powder! It goes on so smoothly and matches my skin perfectly. I use a powder brush to apply it, which works really well. I wear it in NC15.
