This foundation is very very sheer, so its not for those who want good coverage. Otherwise it gives a great finish, and its good on the skin and blends easily. So a very good product if you only need a sheer finish, great as a finishing powder.

About the colors, I am a Mac NC30/32, and in ID Golden medium.
I will say, number 5 in geisha ink is the best color for my skin tone.

Can't say enough good things except yay! Finally found the HG. You gotta try it... they sell large samples to test and get color match etc. Not a huge color selection but they are all much more normal shades to me than the other MMU brands. So many are orange or yellowish and don't cover or blend well on me. I use a finishing powder but only cuz I work 12 hour shifts and need it to last...and it does.
Not sold in states but shipping was about 6 days so not bad. On pricier side but for what I get, I'll pay it happily.

Just finished my first (but certainly not last) container of the Geisha Mineral Powder. I have extremely sensitive and sometimes acne prone / oily skin, and this product doesn't irritate my skin at all! In fact, I have seen improvement in the quality of my skin since using it; my skin actually breathes unlike other foundations and mineral powders I've used in the past.

The coverage is great (can be layered and built up depending on your preference) and it blends wonderfully. I work long hours in sometimes hot and humid environments and it stays on all day long. The closeable sliding lid allows me to easily carry it in my purse for quick touch ups if I am meeting friends after work.

Can't wait to order my second batch of this mineral powder! <3 Geisha Products!

Was excited to buy this product after the pressed mineral was no longer available. At first I was disappointed with the coverage, but really like this formula. I then realized I was not using the correct brush. A dense Kabuki makes a world of the difference. With a powder blush, it applies like any loose powder. However with a Kabuki, it blends beautifully, has awesome coverage and wears well. I have really oily skin and this wore for 5 hours before breaking a slight shine. A winner in my books.

Great mineral foundation. The best out of the dozens I have tried. What I found made it stand out is, the outstanding natural coverage, and staying power. I didn't even need concealer and did not have to touch up all day. Only down side is that it is not sold in the US and needed to be ordered online. Oh the price of beauty...

I was pretty excited when I heard that Geisha Ink launched a loose mineral foundation, after my beloved pressed was discontinued. It finally arrived in the mail last week and here are my comments:

I was at first worried I would not like it as much as the pressed. To my surprised I actually like it more:)! The coverage is better than the pressed, and it blends into the skin flawlessly, almost creating an airbrushed look. I ordered the kabuki brush as well which buffs into the skin beautifully (Kabuki brush is soft with perfect density)! I have oily skin and this powder wore for approx. 6 hours before having to touch up...pretty good in my opinion.
I asked them about a finishing powder (which I noticed most mineral foundations have). They informed me that this does not need a finishing powder due to it's formula and quality...I agree. Personally I did find the whole "finishing powder" a marketing gimmick to get people to spend more money...but that's just my own personal opinion.

All in all, I really love this foundation.

So, I used to use the pressed mineral foundation in Chiyo shade no. 2. After trying to order it about 3 times, I have received the deadly confirmation that they have discontinued it. They recommended their new product, the loose mineral. I was not sold in the beginning because I preferred the press. After much back and forth with emails, I thought, "Waht the heck!" I just got it in the mail today and ordered Chiyo no. 2 again. The color is even better than before. I am fair with neutral undertone and the originally chiyo was about 1/2 a shade too dark in the winter time. This is perfect finally and I can always get the next shade in the summer but as if I ever tan???

The product: I moisturized my face and then apply with my kabuki brush. It is unbelievable. The coverage it out of this world. I received this product in the mail at 10am and applied it at around 10:30am, I still have it on now. It feels light, coverage excellent, color did not turn (not too pink nor too yellow/orangey). It is a huge improvement from the pressed version. Ladies, if you think you are in love with the pressed version, you must try this. I might order shade no. 1 (aiko) for my undereye. I don't know yet but I am so freakin excited!!! At least now I have found a replacement.

I just got it on-line so I am surprise to see there is already a review. BTW, their website has started web sales again.

LOVE this also! I am so impressed. I am usually quite skeptical with loose mineral because in the next 3-4 hours, my skin turns either super shiny looking or it turns orange. I wear Hisano#4 and it wears all day. Went for a late lunch with my good friend yesterday, literally sat at the hotel lounge for hours with her and then headed out for dinner and drinks with another girl friend. Wears all night. We took some photos in the evening and boy, my skin looks so flawless I hardly remember it is mine.

Feels like on the skin, but coverage is amazing. I wore it with no concealer, seriously!!! This is by far my favorite clean makeup out there. Also, it is a semi-matte so it is good for dry/oily skin. Mine is combo and on my oily zones, it works great and around some of my dry area (cheeks) it did not pick up any dry spots :)

Super impressed with this product. I have a lot of brides that have reactions to chemicals found in foundations. I have been searching for the perfect formula for loose mineral, and I think this is it!
Wore it (Katsumi #5) all day during a photo shoot, and was so impressed that I didn't need a touch up all day. My T-Zone gets quite oily, and this barley broke a shine. The formula goes on seamless natural and smooth. It wears all day and has beautiful coverage. A little goes a long way!
