    Best mineral foundation I ever tried. Too bad MN does not get much love here on MUA. Tried BE but it did nothing at all. This has good coverage, leaves a nice glowy finish, fine sparkles did not...

    Bought this on x-mas eve and wanted to use it a bit before I review. This kicks the crap outta Bare Minerals. My face doesn't feel dry and it doesn't settle in my fine lines, wrinkles or...

    I LOVE this makeup!! My mom gave me a sample to try, as she is a long-time user of Merle Norman products. She knew that I was using MMU and grabbed a sample of the Merle Norman for me. I have...

    I love this mineral makeup. I wear it over the Merle Norman tinted moisturizer which helps to have a litte bit more coverage. I have very sensitive skin and it has never broken me out like Bare...

    I've been using MN's Ultra Luxiva powder foundation for quite a while and on my last purchase, the SA gave me a deluxe sample of this in ML40. This shade was SO beautiful, but it was too dark. I...

    I really like this product. It has very buildable coverage. I like only a light dusting on my face, but I have two friends who prefer it slightly heavier, and it looks great either way. I have...

    First of all, I can't believe I just purchased Merle Norman. I always thought of Merle Norman as the Jurassic Park of makeups - not because of how long it has been around but because the old Merle...

    I have tried other mineral makeups that made my face feel so dry and itchy so i was scared to try any others. I got a sample of this from merle norman and love it. At first it was kinda weird...

    I really changed my mind about this product. It took me awhile to find the right shade (I now use 2 shades together), but the quality of this makeup far surpasses any other mineral or liquid...

    This has been the best powder I have ever found with the mineral formula. I had started wearing this as soon as it came out and did not know how amazing it was until I got professional pictures...

    I like this WAY better than Bare Escentuals mineral foundation. It does not sink into my pores or highlight fine lines and wrinkles like the BE did. It covers the rosacea on my cheeks and leaves...

    After reading all the reviews on this I went by the MN store in the mall and tried it. (I was a little scared to try it really because of the 70's thick makeup that MN had.) The SA put it on and...

    Update: Been using the powder for about a year now and I still love it. I think if you use this alone (just moisturizer + Luxiva powder), it will improve your skin. Your skin will stop getting...

    I have tried many mineral makeups, and for my 53year old skin, this seams to be the best. It does not get shiney. The container has small sifter holes so that you do not get too much product out at...
