This retails for $16 but no compact is included and no applicator (I use a brush but you could - I wouldn't - ut you COULD use a sponge). I use Beige 1 - possible Beige 2 if it is summer. I...

MK is now on Amazon. Buy their stuff there so you can easily return it if you don't like it. I bought this foundation there thinking "mineral" so talc free, but the first ingredient is talc. I...

Why is it so hard to find ingredients for Mary Kay products? I am trying to eliminate parabens from my creams and make- up. Mary Kay products are the ONLY ones that I cannot find a list of all...

This is a good powder. It's not my favorite. I sell MK, but I am still very fond of Clinique's powder. This does leave a silky and matte finish on the skin. It does an pretty fair job at oil...

i gave it a 4 because the powder is sold separately from its compact which has a mirror, mini brush and a lipstick container, which is annoying because can't use it to fit with any other gloss or...

I like this. The powder is finely milled and smooth oil control as well. The only thing is that it really is sheer, I bought this to wear as a powder foundation. But the coverage I would say is...

I can understand why some are upset with the idea of buying a compact separately from the powder, which is why I gave it such a low rating for packaging. i would give the actual black compact you...

This is a review of the NEW mineral pressed powder. One word---horrible! I have it in Ivory 1--the lightest shade. I've tried it several times over Mary Kay's medium foundation { which I love} and...

I have pretty fair skin and have trouble finding a powder that is light enough that doesn't change color after a while due to my oily skin. Both the pressed and the loose MK powders remain true...

This powder is great. Silky, smooth finish. Right color for me, not chalky, pink or orange.

This is a nice soft powder but the choice of shades is too limited. Either too dark, or too light, or not golden enough. Just wish they had more shades to choose from.

This is super pressed powder. It doesn't break me out at all very lightweight and doesn't cake up. The colors are very nice also. Plus the price is super if by chance you slam it on the floor you...
