    I am in love with this powder. It is so sheer, but at the same time gives you amazing coverage and evens out your skin tone. I apply this with a Sephora brand powder brush. I put on Maybelline...

    NC40 (pic #3) I like it but don't love it. It's really silky, feels great on the skin; not cakey or anything, but I'm not sure why it's called a sheer. What I use it for: I cannot wear...

    This is a beautiful finishing powder. It looks so silky and natural, even in pictures! It takes away shine too. This is one of my favorite M.A.C products!

    This is a lovely powder! I am more like an NW25-30 but ordered NC25 before I came to this realization. I was going to go with NC30 but after reading reviews that it ran dark went up a shade. It is...

    The consultant that recommended this powder for me did not match my skin tone right, and the powder does not cover enough. Although it feels light, it's probably due to how fine it is and for some...

    I was not impressed by this powder. It doesn't really do anything. It only mattifies for about 30 minutes, and it has zero coverage. I don't understand. What is this stuff supposed to do?

    I really don't think this powder is that great. I was so excited to try it and it's just very average. The color match is fantastic, but I don't really feel like it covers much or keeps me matte...

    It is a great powder, when you don't use it alone. I find it lasting much much longer if I use it after I use my foundation. The powder is fine and silky, it's also light weight. If you use it...

    Good face powder- makes your skin look smoother and the color is sheer. But it doesn't stay on long. I think it's just average, nothing Maybelline cannot do. I'm also turned off by the price. ...
