I was pleasantly surprised by this mineral powder at first. I bought the lightest color and it matched my skin nicely. The coverage was also really good. I finally thought I found a mineral makeup that I was happy with and actually had decent coverage. Unfortunately this makeup caused big red pimples to form on my skin. I used it for 4 days and ended up with a big red zit after every time I wore it. Im super acne prone and always dealing with breakouts, but my skin has gotten to the point again where I mainly just get small/regular sized pimples, but this makeup caused some big ones. I tried to tell myself it was just a coincidence that this was happening, but I wore it for two days and got two big pimples and switched to a different makeup for a couple days and was fine and then tried this again for two days and got two more big pimples. I finally realized it was this makeup definitely causing it so I stopped using it over a week ago and haven't had a new big zit since then. I would be cautious with this powder if you're acne prone, but I know everyone's skin is different and it seems to have mainly good reviews so hopefully it works better for others.

WOW. I have tried them all, this one is up there with the best. If you like a more matte, long lasting finish, you have to give this foundation a try.

Goes on beautifully, really nice coverage, even in small amounts. Best to not put on too much, because it can get cakey and dry looking if you do. A small amount buffed in well, with maybe a little extra added in areas where you need more coverage, should work fine. If your skin is oily and you need touchups thru the day, best to just use those little oil blotting tissues, that may be all that you need. Keep in mind that it is winter where I live now, so I am not sure how this makeup would fare in warmer climates.

There is not a huge range of colors, but I had no trouble finding one's that worked for me - both the lightest one, Fair, and the 2nd lightest, 02 Light. One could also mix colors if necessary. I paid less than $8 at the local beauty supply, so the price is AMAZING! I also like the packaging, the sifter comes with an inner lid, which keeps the mess to a minimum.

Highly recommended for MMU users!!

This is a really good mineral foundation, and at a great price. I only wish they had some more color options and it had a bit more lasting power in the summer, when it gets super hot (but every brand of MMU has that problem from what I can tell). It also has never irritated my sensitive skin.

best mmu i've tried so far! i've been using the nude by nature mmu for years now and saw this one in the clearance bin for $5 so I decided to try it out. i wasn't expecting much from it but was really impressed with the coverage (compared to nude) whilst still looking natural. i have pale asian skin and use fair which matches my skin tone well. it covers redness and best of all doesn't break me out! it can cake if you put too much so a little goes a long way. the smell isn't nice but it doesn't bother me that much anymore. could be quite expensive at $27 aud for only a few grams but will definitely repurchase this again. if you want a mineral makeup with good coverage and a matte finish without breaking you out, then this product is for you.

EDIT: I started to get cystic acne and tiny pimples all over my face from using this product. Initially i thought it was due to my diet but this was definitely the culprit. now that i've gone back to Nude by Nature mineral foundation, my skin has gone back to normal and looks so much better now. never using this foundation ever again!

I love this product because when i go to school i don't like having alot of foundation coverage i like it to be natural and it lasts all day long! i would definetly buy this product again.

First of all, it s my first time using mmu. But i kinda really like it! I hope this won;'t break me out :-s The coverage is really good, beyond my expectations, and I might just trade my liquid CK oil free foundation for this one. I use shade Medium Beige which is lovely for medium-tan skin tones. I also own the multitask 3 in 1 from Prestige and I think that both products are really good. Also, if you can buy them at a discount, way to go! I would consider paying full price for this, although, if my skin looked great with it for a long period of time(several months, let's say). We shall see!
p.s. What I didn't like was the packaging. It is indeed a little difficult to open that lid...

If you love a heavy makeup look, and goopy, dewy flawless or matte liquid foundations, you're going to think Prestige Minerals is too light!

Alright, now if you just want your skin too look naturally more even and set your moisturizer, this is a fantastic mineral powder. I'm a redhead, and the lightest color matches my skintone perfectly. When I look closely in the mirror, or in sunlight I cannot tell I'm wearing makeup. I've worn this in summer, I've been splashed with water, cried, swum, worn it all day, slept in it a few times (oops!) and it never moves or breaks me out.

I use a little bit applied with a kabuki, (thick layers make it cakey!) and it covers perfectly. Granted, use a separate concealer for very inflamed belmishes (I use the Almay healing one).

Tip: Always moisturizer before applying, (not too much!) and if your skin is really oily just prime with an Aloe Vera gel before applying powder. This prevents flakes, and heals acne, and makes your skin glowy underneath!

I love this stuff. It makes me hate liquid foundations.

i have bought this many times in the past. i used to mix a light and dark color together for my perfect color. i can only wear this over a liquid foundation because it makes me really oily by itself but only when I want a really full coverage. i wouldn't buy it again because i am happy with other products at the moment.

I bought this front target. It was on clearance for only $6.88! I was looking for a good mineral foundation so or the price, I thought it wouldn't but to try it. I got this in "medium beige" and "natural".. Medium beige seems to be a bit dark for me, I think natural suits me better. The coverage was quite sheer, even if it is build able it won't give you a lot of coverage, but my skin isn't majorly bad so it was okay for me. I wouldn't recommend this if you need high coverage! The lasting power, I can't tell at all. At the end of the day, I cannot tell if it is my own skin or the makeup is still on. The smell is kinda gross, i can smell it when the make up brush comes near my nose.
It also doesn't control any oil or keep your face matte either. It's not very good. I'm just glad i picked this up for a bargain because i would not pay full price for it. It didn't break me out or gave me any irritations or anything. This may work well as a sheer foundation setter. Wouldn't recommend this alone though.

I've been using this foundation for about a year now, and I do like it a lot. The coverage is not that great so if I've got dark spots I do have to use a separate concealer. But it does look quite natural, and does not break me out, which is great. I'm not sure if I prefer this or Everyday Minerals which is what I've used in the past. This is just easier to obtain since it's in the drugstore. The bad thing about this line is that the color selection is very limited. In the winter I use 02, and summer I use 03. Sometimes I mix the two as well. For now, it is in my daily routine and will not be leaving anytime soon since I cannot find anything really wrong with it.
