    I am very happy with this product. I also use it over a sheer foundation and apply it lightly with a brush for some extra coverage that still somehow manages to look natural. It is not heavy at...

    So far, this is the best powder foundation I have. It is more diffusing than "illuminating" but definitely softens imperfections. Looks more natural than even mineral powders. I have been using...

    This is the best powder foundation I have tried to date as far as texture and colormatch go. So much better than MAC Studiofix, which looked mask like on me. Better color match than Aveda Dual...

    I really love this! It was used on me during a makeover, so I had no illusions of it actually "illuminating" anything. It dosen't have as much coverage as MAC Studio Fix but it does cover well. Now...

    I expected this to actually "illuminate" but it didn't do anything in terms of making me even remotely glow. It's nothing special, really. MAC Studio Fix works just as well, if not better and is...

    I like this powder foundation, but I'm not in love with it. It seems to cover my skin well, applies easily with a powder brush, and doesn't dry it out too much. But it doesn't make my skin glow...

    This comes is a super-cute compact, but alas the shimmer-factor looked greasy and gross on my face. I think it might have also caused my skin to break out even though I'm not that breakout-prone.

    Coverage is quite light for a powder foundation, even less than Clinique's sheer pressed powder. The shimmer in it made me look a bit shiny. I wish the snap on the compact were a bit sturdier too.

    This is now one of my favorite foundations. I used to use Chanel's Double Perfection Compact and now use this one for a more natural daytime look. It doesn't cover up much so I use a tinted...

    This was a little on the expensive sid eonce you figure in the cost of the compact, but the illuminating effect in the powder is actually wearable. Nice powder with a kick!

    This product is probably really good for people with flawless skin. Otherwise, it emphasizes pores, looks dry and overly matte, and then gets kind of shiny a couple hours afterwards. And it's...
