I love this powder. I was using Clinique sheer pressed powder and loved it but was kind of pricey because I use it quite often to take away my shiny T zone. Anyway, I found this to be the closest substitute of my favorite , but much cheaper. However, I hate the puff that comes with the compact. It picks up too much powder and make my face cakey. So I bought my own sponge puff and it works like a charm.

Overall, this was definately worth the $4 I paid for it at Big Lots. I've bought two containers of this which is odd for me since I have such a hard time finding makeup that doesn't slide off my face. It did not cover much but kept my foundation in place while I was running and exercising. For two hours in 100 degree heat this and CG TruBlend kept my face amazing. I gave it a four because I'm still looking for coverage and better shine control.

I've rediscovered this great powder. I used to use it, then switched to loose powders again because I thought they might have better staying power. But, loose powders tend to be messy and the ones I used weren't so great. I wear this in Light and it's a fantastic match, in that it doesn't give me that "powdery" look and just adds a natural, yet polished finished look. The staying power is also much better than most. I do need to blot by mid-day, but I still look pretty good, considering my skin is very oily. This is a little more expensive than your average drugstore powder, but if it were sold in a fancier compact at a department store counter, I'm sure people wouldn't balk at a higher price for this great powder. I will repurchase and hope that I'm not silly enough to stray again!

I'm using this in light. i use revlon colorstay in buff with this. This is better than most powders..but not stellar as i would like it to be. It wears the whole day, the powder lasts forever, it doesnt show any color, leaves me matte but i have to blot after 2 hours or so (which is fine), the packaging quality is the best...but sometimes it tends to be dry or it's just my medicated skin. Overall for the price the quality is HE. I've been using this for months it is a reliable prettifying powder but it doesn't really excite me that much & sometimes it can get cakey... still searching for my HG pressed powder. It is better than studiofix for me.

This is generally a powder that you buy you can forget about it... you can forget about it because it's so reliable.

Very nice product. Actually comes in a color appropriate for my light olive skin (I use Light). Not orangey. Finely milled, soft powder, matte finish, wonderful sleek compact, decent puff. This is something I can always depend on.

I'm very impressed with this powder. I needed something to dust on my t-zone to help deter shine. I use a brush to lightly apply it after doing my makeup. I use Alima minerals and this powder gives just the right amount of matte finish. It lasts all day and doesn't oxidize. It doesn't break me out, either. I don't use it as a touch up so I can't comment on how it works in that regard, but for setting my makeup it is perfect.

I think the compact is quite ugly; given the success of the ColorStay line and the fact that Revlon is one of the more expensive drugstore lines, I think they could spruce up the compact a bit. Even making the lettering gold would help.

That said, it's a great powder and I will def. repurchase. I do love my expensive Stila shadows and blushes, but when it comes to pressed powder, I have no problem slumming with something that works this great!

I am a MAC NC20, rosy undertones, and the second shade, "Light" worked great on me. The first shade "Fair" was very light and seemed to have slightly pinkish undertones. The darker shades seemed to look peachy to me, but maybe that was just the store lighting.

I'm buying a backup next time these go on sale!

I like this powder because it has good coverage so it can be worn alone or with the foundation. It stays on but can get a little cakey if you use too much of it. I apply it with a large powder brush and it works great.

price : $9.99 at drugstores. SALE : rite aid, $3 off all revlon face products, $2 off all revlon eye products.

pros : it blends easily into your skin, so it doesn't look cakey at all. their color selection was perfect for me. i'm NC35, with yellow undertones. i like the compact, though the mirror is on the small side. it's rather attractive compared to other D/S brands' cheap, see - through plastic compacts.

cons : the powder puff that comes with it picks up too much powder, and it can make your skin look cakey. so i don't recommend this for on - the - go touchups. i leave this at home, and use my N.Y.C. translucent powder for touchups.

overall : i love this product! it blends easily, so it looks natural. it doesn't make my skin flaky, like all the other powders i've tried. (combination / oily skin.) my suggestion : use a big, fluffy brush when you're applying this.

Jeez, get over the compact already! This is a grocery store product, and costs about $8, so why would you expect a fancy compact? The simple, black plastic container works just fine. As for the powder, I think it's pretty dang good. The color is perfect for me (in "fair" for my pale face), and it's not too heavy. I find that it doesn't totally mattify my face, so I still have a bit of shine, but that looks more normal, anyway. I apply it with a brush, and can't comment on the puff it comes with. I give it 4 lippies, not 5, because it's not the most perfect powder on earth.
