    I swapped for this because my Clinique Stay-Matte was starting to oxidize. I am kinda on-the-fence with this product only because I think the color I got is too dark. When I first apply this over...

    The texture of this powder is really good, but the colour runs a little too dark for my liking. If it came in a colour similar to the MAC Blot Powder (which is what I use now) I'd definitely...

    I swapped for this without any particular forethought, but I'm glad I did, because it's a great product! I have it in NW-20, which is my exact match. It's a smooth pressed powder that offers light...

    This is one of my favorite powders. I notice that more people seem to prefer the Mineralize Skinfinish, however I find that it emphasizes my pores and does not control my oily skin very well....

    I am a fan of this powder, typical powder storage like the Cover Girl powder you kept in your purse in 7th grade :-) The powder is sheer and lasts for quite awhile. Will buy again.

    I have this in NC30 and NC55. The reason being: I use NC30 when I get a little tanned in the summer, so I just use a Kabuki brush to dust the product over my foundation. I use NC55 to contour my...

    Overall, I wouldn't buy this product again. Reasons are that I find it like many other pressed powders out there and this one only did an ok job. I find this powder does not suit people with dry...

    A perfectly acceptable pressed powder. I bought it on a whim as my faithful old Rimmel had started to crack and spill everywhere. It also had one of those annoying removable plastic lids which...

    This is only really for people with dry skin, or normal skin. I bought it as the MAC Blot Powder I found to make me look too powdery. The colours I found are all too yellow or too dark, so even...
