    Generally o.k. if you have great skin and like to have that "no makeup" feel. It didn't provide enough coverage for the slight rosacea I have on my cheeks, and tended to buildup around my nose and...

    Finally. Something light enough and neutral enough (i use 10 watts) for my skin that feels like skin and not makeup. Where has this been all my life? Yes, it's on the expensive side but i've wasted...

    Sometimes it looked great and perfected my very imperfect skin. Other times, I looked ashy and gray (NC35, using 50 watts). Guess it depends on my skin's condition at various times and lighting? ...

    <p>I tried many powder foundations but this seems to be one of better ones out there. It's not perfect but considering the quality, size, and cost... it has earned it's place in my makeup bag....

    I hate that you have to buy the compact separately. It makes it too expensive. I wouldn't buy it again. It was just ok.

    I'm not a fan of powder foundations, but this is one of the better ones that I have used. It makes my pores look invisible and although it looks quite pale and chalky when I first apply it, by the...

    This just did not look good on me. It was caky and artificial looking, and made me even more shiny. The color turned dark and the finish was weird

    The packaging is pretty, but looked really dry on my skin despite the name "illuminating". It also turned a shade darker on me within an hour! Thumbs down!

    I am actually on my second refill of IPF!! I have NC15 skin, with somewhat ruddy cheeks. IPF evens out my skintone and covers the ruddiness naturally (without being obvious like mineral makeup...

    So far I'm liking the IPF. It's more like a pressed powder though, perheps the lightest powder foundation I've ever used. I don't need a lot of coverage and hate the look of heavy foundations, so I...

    This is a great product because the coverage can be sheer or more opaque depending on how much you decide to use. I like that it's not incredibly matte, so it gives my face a bit of a glow. I use...

    I love this product (10 Watts), and I do feel more glowing and "illuminated" when I use it. It seems to disappear on your skin (in a good way), leaving a nice soft, glowy finish. If you need more...

    This foundation is just plain awful. It applies so sheerly as to offer no coverage at all, and slides off your face at the slightest hint of the oilies. I also think the compact you need to buy...
