I love this powder and use it in NC30. It looks highly colored in the container but goes on quite sheer and has a nice fine, silky texture.

<b>It's very invisible. I use it to set foundation. I have oily skin. This doesn't improve my skin but also doesn't make it worse. A good powder overall.</b>

I agree with Optikon - I have nw15 - but really need a NC shade. At the time of purchase no NC shades were available.
Kind of expensive for a sheer powder, but the texture is nice and I got...

The Select loose powder is very sheer. I tried on NC20 and NC30 on each side of the face and couldn't tell the difference. The sales person recommended the darker NC30 because summer is coming. I...

I love using this with my new select tint. It gives me a flawless look yet it's my skin. I would reccomend this to anyone who tends to have oily skin like myself. I bought this in NC40 and doesn't...

I use this everyday, since I only wear concealer and powder to set. I find that the sheerness of it is nice since I hate looking 'cakey' and notice that other powders have made me look cakey....

This was my first MAC product. It provides nice light coverage (I bought NC20). I haven't noticed mine oxidizing on me. A little more expensive than I'd like, and I'll probably look for something...

I used Lancome powder until a few years ago when they changed their shades to a very yellow-y (IMO) palette. I liked MAC's old loose powder, but this formula ismuch better/sheerer I just dust it...

I'm an NC20 and it's a very nice, economical product. Not as finely milled as some of the other high end department store brands, but it does its job. I don't get any oilier or drier throughout the...

This is a wonderful loose powder. I like it as much as my Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder--maybe even better. The only thing I really like better about the Prescriptives powder is the cool, wet...

The texture of this powder is awesome! So light, and it really does make your face look polished without adding any real pigment or texture. It's also got a tiny bit of shimmer, so you don't look...

This powder has an awesome texture and a very light feel, but just doesn't do anything for me. My skin looks so much better with Clinque's blended face powder. If I hadn't already tried the...

I am a NC 30 but I got this in NC15. This works extremely well. I know MAC loose powder will oxidize (so does the MA) so I chose a few shades lighter. If you live in Asia and prefer fair skin, you...
