Purchased for 75% off at CVS a few months ago, I just got around to trying it and now I wish I would have bought more! This powder is so smooth, so easy to apply, and really has great coverage. I also use it as a setting powder (a very tiny bit) and it makes my skin look perfect.

I honestly do like this product, especially being a drugstore powder! It blends very well into my skin and feel very light when you touch it. It is a light to medium coverage I would say, very nice but, the only cons I have about is its staying power and coverage. Otherwise, not bad Milani!

I also got this at CVS for 20% off and it matches my skin perfectly. I like to wear liquid foundation a lot and sometimes pur minerals but since it was so cheap, I thought why not give it a try. I think this kicks pur minerals' butt! It makes my face look flawless but not at all powdery. It is also not as drying as pur minerals. I'm definitely gonna buy it again if I'm looking for a powder foundation.

I bought this because it was 75% off at CVS which came to $2.36 including tax. That said, I was surprised at how well Honey Beige matched my very yellow undertone skin. Its slightly orange and will probably work better in the summer. I've been adding yellow color corrector to my Bare Essentials mineral powder and found this goes on so much quicker with less mess. The only problem was that I cannot use this wet because it sinks into my large pores and my face looks pock-marked which does not happen when I use it dry. At this price, I bought a back-up.

Soooooo, this product did not work for me. And I was surprised because I love Milani blush and just got their eyebrow pencil - with the great brush at the tip - bought during my little cvs spending spree. But this minerals powder turned my mildly oily t-zone into an oil slick. Although I did buy the wrong shade for my skin color (something - buff, it was 75% off), it was chalky. I returned it and bought maybelline dream matte powder in medium beige. I am really happy with it. My skin has stayed matte alllll day!! People! Matte all day? Ditch this Milani dud and go for the maybelline. It may be a few dollars more but, you know the rest...

Got this for $3 on sale at CVS!! Nude Buff is great, I mix it with my MUFE foundation in the day as a touch up powder!

i bought this product in true beige but its really too dark for my skin, i was thinking if i should go back at the store again and exchange this into a lighter shade...I really want to like this coz its one of the few foundations that doesnt break me out. so im gonna buy this again soon on a lighter shade. Maybe nude buff will do for me.
the packaging of the product really looks cheap.. i dont like the applicator that comes with it..
ill update this when i get the new shade .

this is a great powder foundation, it hides ,my pores and is matte, my only complaint is the shade selection, natural tan was a little too dark for me so i got honey beige, which is the next lighter shade, not only was it a little too light for me it was yellowish, i still use it since they just don't have my shade and i just apply a dark bronzer over it to kind of even out the color. but its a great foundation powder, very smooth!

This was just "so-so" to me. I felt like it looked powdery and just felt kind of maskey. Returned it.

HG product for me! I typically wear Revlon Colorstay during the year, but I am working at a summer camp in high humidity plus I have extremely oily skin. I love this product so much that I am replacing Colorstay. When I first used this product I coated my makeup brush in the product, thinking that a mineral powder would not provide heavy coverage, but I actually ended up using too much! This product leaves me completley shine free, provides medium coverage, and is the most natural looking product I have ever used. This is a product that you can wear and people can't tell you're wearing makeup. I did not notice any chalkiness or a "muddy" effect that goes along with some mineral makeups.
I used to wear Bare Minerals (prior to Colorstay) but I was finding that it would not provide enough coverage for my blotchy, red skin tone and that my skin was too oily. I kept the brushes from the Bare Minerals and use the concealer and kabuki brush to apply this product, and it is honestly much better than Bare Minerals at a fraction of the price.

Creamy and natural look if applied with kabuki brush. Great d/s powder. Better then BM bc does skin does not get oily after application. Package is bulky, but great product. Highly recommend!

I use this as my every day makeup. It is great. Evens out my skin tone. I have bought this at least 5 times and I will continue to buy it. I buff it on with a kabuki to even out the coverage. It's a bit much with the sponge thingy it comes with.

Wow... love this. I think this is even better than the mineral foundations that cost 5X the price of this (around 8$). It's so strange how this company is so "down-low" , yet the makeup is great. Anyway, i feel like its even healthy for my skin. my skin looks better in it, evenly toned. great buy!

I read about Milani cosmetics on this site. I had to go to a CVS out of my way to buy this foundation. I selected the Nude Buff for my fair, yet pinky cool toned skin. It gives a slight tan tone to my skin but no orange which I tend to have trouble with when trying D.S. foundations. It also covers spider veins around my nose and some slight acne scarring I have on my chin. This powder is great when you only have 1.5 minutes to set your sunscreen/moisturizer, apply the rest of your make up and go. I also can touch up with this, pacticularly under my eyes, without it looking cakey. I prefer using a foundation brush to apply this but the puff that came with will do in a pinch. I get more coverage when I use a brush but the puff is nice to smooth carefully around my eye area and nose creases. My skin has actually looked like it is glowing lately. I am not sure if this foundation is the 100% reason. I have been using a new face cream from Avon. I think the combo of the minerals in the foundation and the cream have put me back into my 30s.I would probably buy again if Milani is being sold at a store I frequent. I will not be making any special trips to CVS again. They were having a BOGO 50% off sale but the sales clerk gave me a hard time because I didn't have a CVS card. I told her I have too many store cards and don't want another! Boo.

This powder is amazing. It gives good coverage if you like light-medium. Personally, I hate thick liquid foundation so this powder is perfect for me. It has good staying power. The only thing I would change would be making the the packaging more sleek. But the product itself is amazing and inexpensive. It doesn't cake or look powdery either.

This stuff makes my skin look great, perfectly matte, not chalky, and gives excellent coverage in a flash. Too bad this stuff clogs my pores to high heaven and I get a bevy of small zits in the following days. Each time I go back to this, I get a small break out. It is so bothersome, but I kept it around thinking it was some other variable - but here I am again, with breakouts and irritated pores. I am tossing it tonight, for good. Too bad since the color selection is great, and it's hardly $10 for a pretty decent sized compact, too. On to the next one.

YES!! Really a TRUE DRUGSTORE FIND!! I have Rosacea - sooo sensitive skin - even most minerals makeups don't work. But this Milani is the BEST. I also use a Kabuki brush - a "light dusting" or a few "coats' for more coverage - either way the look is fabulous - I finish off w/Nars Orgasm Blush - just a little goes a looong way and works for my sensitive skin.

OMG PERFECT MATCH!!! I have a very hard skintone to match. my color fluctuate so much that i keep atleast 3 to 4 shades of foundations in the winter spring seasons. I was standing in CVS for 20 minutes trying to decide between True Beige and Honey Beige. I have always had bad luck with loreal, bare minerals, revlon, avon, lancome, estee lauder so I was wary of buying because its hard to find color. Right now im about NC37 and i selected True Beige and its a perfect match. In the summer when Im around NC40-42 I think Honey Beige would be perfect for me. Just thought I would share that both colors are good for yellow skintones. I got this for around $8.
