The BA at Ulta matched my skin to Light Golden in the pressed minerals. It was perfect in the store, but my midday had darkened so I had a noticeable line between my jawline and neck. I exchanged...

SO CAKEY but didn't even have any coverage. I could not find a good color match and I hate loose powders in general so I don't know what I was thinking.

All in all, I actually like this powder. It's the first one I've found that actually matches my skin tone perfectly (I use the lightest shade of the loose velvet mineral powder). It gives me such a...

I purchased this from eBeauty.ca (Canadian makeup site) in Deep Golden. This mineral powder is sheer but offers buildable coverage, which is great because I like more coverage for my redness, but...

I bought this in the pressed powder version in the shade light golden. The coverage was very sheer and did not provide enough coverage. The shade was wrong also, as it was too light for me and a...

Blah. Disappointing. First thing I noticed is that this has sheer coverage. It took forever to build it up enough to cover anything. The color I chose was ok, Golden Light, it was a little light...

After checking out b.e and finding out that it was way too ashy on my skin no matter how much the poor sales girl at sephora blended and blended, she showed me this mineral formula. For darker...
