I was a foundation junkie for a couple years...trying everything in order to get the best matte yet natural and fresh look for my sensitive/cominbation skin. About a year ago I bought this and was using it over my Clinique Superbalanced but realized it was a bit too much coverage. So I tried just using this over my primer (MAC Prep and Prime or Bare Mineral primer) and WOW...perfect!!! I use the MAC kabuki or The Body Shop Kabuki and buff it in over my primer - a little goes a long way and you can definitely get decent coverage with a little extra buffing if needed. It makes my skin super soft and has actually improved my complexion. I wear it EVERY day and it lasted me about 11 months!! I highly recommend this product. I've tried most mineral foundations out there and none compare! When I'm feeling oily I set it with the Clinique matte pressed powder and that works perfectly. The price is well worth it considering how long it lasts!! I also started getting compliments on my complexion after using it...many friends/co-workers have bought it because they like the way it makes my skin look!

A great powder foundation with min to med coverage. Love the dispenser, keeps every thing sanitary and it has spf! The brush is horrendous, but who uses it anyway? It's a little pricey for Clinique but again it's a great product. More coverage would make it better but i guess theres only so much you can ask of a powder.
This is definitely my favourite powder ever! It is better than any pressed, loose, mineral, non-mineral powder i have ever used!
It's has medium coverage (however, when compared to other mineral loose powders, it's a pretty good coverage) and with a bit of concealer it makes my skin look awesome and still, very natural (plus, it gives my skin a ''velvet touch'' that i LOVE.)
I use this product bolt after applying liquid foundation and without foundation and it lasts for a long time and works out marvelous on my skin bolt ways.
Plus, the package is awesome, it has a mirror and it also comes with a small brush (that i dont actually use xD.)
This is not a cheap product (at all), but it totally worths the money. I don't think i will stop buying this product for a long period of time.
I just got this two days ago, and I`m already in love with it. It makes my skin look even and smooth, and feels soft and light. I have dry/combination skin, and it doesn't dry out or get too oily by the end of the day. It was a little pricey, but I don't need much to cover my entire face, so it should last me quite a while. I've used other mineral powder foundations in the past (covergirl, purminerals, l'oreal, revlon), but this is by far my favourite so far. Definitely would purchase again.
I have this in 2 shades and use one as a base and the other for contouring. Very light so only really for skin in good condition. Very light coverage but fab for summer days when only a light dusting of colour is wanted and very well packaged though a bit bulky.
I love this foundation! Great for when you want a natural look. Also, I would highly recommend that you watch the tutorial video by TiffanyD on YT, it was a big help to me because at first I wasn't applying this product correctly and even tho she uses a different brand, her tutorial on mineral/powder foundation is excellent.
This is a pretty good foundation but not quite the best for me. It is a little pricey, but I really like the packaging. The brush it comes with is pretty bad unfortunately, but I like the grinding action. I use it with a mattifying primer as I have pretty oily skin in my t-zone and find that it will last pretty well all day. It only gives minimum coverage which is fine for most days, but if I have any irritation or red areas on my skin I find it difficult to build coverage. It feels nice on. I would repurchase but would try a few other powders to see if I can find a perfect foundation.
The Clinique girl said I was the hardest person she's ever matched. I felt horrible. This formula was too orange and I had a reaction to it. I'm so happy I found another mineral brand that is a perfect match, covers well, controls oil, has a creamy consistency, has added antioxidants and is about half the price!
This is a great min to moderate coverage mineral makeup that blends really nicely. I love the feel of it when I put it on...very light. Apparently there is something in the product to retain hydration which is fine in winter months but I think might be an issue for me a bit in summer (I can get pretty oily in my T-zone and cheeks).
Pro's:
You get a LOT of product
Grinder: allows you to select how much product you want and keeps the rest clean, very hygienic
Many color selections
For me, a little goes a long way
No weirdo reactions or breakouts
Cons's
The price- Yikes!! I think mine was about 36 bucks! (took one lippie off for this reason) :(

Very good powder foundation. Coverage is adjustable. You can apply for light to medium coverage. I usually use 2 full "rounds." I love how it's SPF 15! Controls the shine in my T-zone. Yes, it's pricey ($35), but it's very long lasting. I bought mine 2 months ago, and it's still going! All I use is this and Clinique's concealer to even out the skin tone on my face. I love this powder b/c it works for a girl-on-the-go like me! The only thing I didn't like was the itty-bitty brush that came w/ it.
