This is the best drug store powder you can get its amazing alone not cakey but smooth , Medium coverage lasted me 1 month. Does it control combo or oily skin not really maybe for 30 min but then again use primer or urban decay deslick spray it keeps you matte all day just saying .
overall amazing for drugstore powder but if you have big pores it does go in to them :/

Very nice powder! People say this doesn't have much coverage, but it really does. When I don't want wear much makeup, I just apply concealer where needed and then put the powder over and looks great! I'd say it has light-medium but IS build-able. I love both this and the maybelline dream loose powder.

I didn't like this at all :( The brush was very rough and when I put it on I was just...unimpressed. I don't know. It didn't really show up on me and I was expecting more coverage or something!
Not too bad because of the color selection and clearly copying MAC; and in Australia this supermarket brand costs more than most of you pay for mac...but the big shock for me was the sparkle that showed after application! And it is sparkle rather than the low key sheen that you get in high end such as Guerlain Meteorites or Nars Nico. They seem to be putting this in a lot of products to give 'luminance'; I noticed it in a Revlon DNA foundation too. I've found that you have to really check either in direct sunlight or right under the halogen downlights usually near the displays.

I actually like this product. I feel like it offers a little coverage and is great as a setting powder. I don't think it looks cakey at all and helps to hide pores/blemishes/blotchiness. I think that its great for the price.
I purchased this product because it had a very good color match for my skin. I'm very pale and usually have a hard time finding makeup that blends well with my skintone. My HG powder compact is still CoverGirl in Ivory.
I found this product was way too sparkly to use all over the face. It gave me an ashy appearance. It also accentuated my pores like crazy and made me look even more oily than I usually am.
I'm still however going to give the product 3 lippies because the packaging is great, I love the flip mirror, it blends well and works excellent as a highlighter. In fact, I use this regularly as my highlight on top of my CoverGirl powder.

Made my face break out & left a somewhat ashen appearance. Useful for touching up oily spots during the day...thats about it. continued >>
This product is great for just a finishing powder or something you can carry in your purse/backpack to do "touch-ups". I love how it kind of has a sparkle to it which makes my skin look good! I have oily skin, and during the day It get's shiny, but when it does, I just pat this on and it's just like when I put on my makeup in the morning. I love this! I recommend! Plus, If you use it lightly, any color in your general range will blend perfectly. For example, if you are a 210 you can use one before, or after that. It doesn't have to be exact.

I didn't hate or love this.
PROS
It's light and natural looking, didn't make me oily, and very quick/easy to use. Though it's very pink undertoned, it does blend and is great for evening out skin tone. Also a decent price.
CONS
This kind of made me breakout. The first ingredient in this is talc, which probably didn't help my skin :( Like always, it's pink undertoned so I couldn't use as much to cover EVERYTHING. Or else I would have a very pinkish/tan face :P I liked the lightness of this, but it doesn't give much coverage.
I'm not buying this again, but it's still useful in other ways. Since I have yellow undertones, I used this in Honey Beige as a blush. It worked pretty well, it was pink w/o being TOO pink.
