I really do like this stuff. It covers better than any powder foundation I have tried (although you will still need concealer for blemishes). It does look a bit powdery when first applied but after about ten mins. or so it turns into a more natural look. Does have a perfume smell but it doesn't bother me. Also a great value since the size of the compact
is almost double of its dept. store competitors similar products.

I use this and mac studio fix alternately for my very oily skin. It coveres very well and is less drying than the mac if you like that sort of thing. However, being that my skin is extremeely oily, the mac makes my face matte longer and doesn't come off as easily. Still a great product though!

I just bought this today and tried it on my skin. I can tell this is really going to be a good foundation for me. I use to get CityBlock in the compact from Clinique in Pale 01(and I was looking for a lighter color if they had it because it was to dark) and I was going to get more today but... I could never get to the counter without the lady being busy. So my mom went to the Lancome counter got her makeup and the lady at the counter reccomened this for me(I got it in Matte Porcelaine I-- she knew right away that this was my color). I'm turning 14 soon and I think this is great. It's really light on my face,the scent is actually pretty nice and not overpowering(and believe me I'm allergic to many perfumes out there and I hate strong scents so I would know). The coverage is really good considering I have a few breakouts here and there. It's definetly expensive but my mom wants me to get the good foundation... and she's really right. My mom has been wearing Lancome as long as I've been born and Estee Lauder even before that and she knows that it's good quality. I reccomend.

I love using the dual finish when I want to apply my makeup very quickly. It's fast and easy to apply. I like this is sooo much better than MAC Studiofix - it's not as cakey and heavy. I also prefer this to Stila IPF.

I love this powder. I am 43 and this does not sink in the fine lines that I have. It works with my pale ruddy complexion smoothing it out. You can make the coverage light or heavy. I will always have this as a staple in my makeup wardrobe.

i love this product for a few reasons:
-the coverage is buildable..can go on sheer or heavy, wet or dry.
-ease of application
-colours
-texture/finish.
it is a GREAT powder foundation, it is far superior to Stila IPF imho.
great for oily skin like mine, i will repurchase this as long as they still sell it.
knock on wood.

I am in the minority here when I say this was eh. It wasn't terrible, but there are so many better products out there. I always find that Lancome colors are too pink for my very yellow asian skin tone. Also, it turns orange pretty quickly too. Actually, all Lancome foundations turn orange on me. It just sat on my face and was too heavy for me. Didn't do much for controlling shine either.I'll pass.

I really wanted to like this powder but the scent was too strong for me. It actually gave me a headache. The coverage is pretty good but I couldn't bare the scent.

This is my HG powder! I wear this daily in Matte Buff II on my PPP skin and can't live without it. I typically use it in place of foundation and on the rare occasions I wear a liquid foundation, I use this on top to combat shininess. Surprisingly, this color works for me in both the summer and winter, too. I'm constantly on the lookout for something better, but I have yet to find anything that is easier to use and better for my skin!

This stuff is very greasy. One of the main ingredients in it is mineral oil. It also has petrolatum in it. It had a beautiful finish to it when I first put it on, but I quickly turned shiny all over because of all the oil. By the end of the day, I couldn't control the shine on my face at all. It did stay color true the whole day, but I don't think it will work unless your skin is very dry. The price isn't too bad considering they give you .67 ounces. That's the most I've seen in any powder foundation.

This is a wonderful product for those with skin on the dry side to dry. I love the colors (very natural, good range), texture is good, coverage is very good for a powder. After using it for a long time, I've discovered it was breaking me out. For that reason I wouldn't buy it, but for other skin types it's recommended.

I LOVE IT. It has great, non cakey coverage that lasts all day long and it gives me a wonderful peaches and cream complexion. It is good alone but even better layered on top of another foundation. It lost a point because of the very perfumey smell though, but otherwise the color selection and feel is divine.

Considering this powder works so well, 32.50 + tax is not bad! The only thing is that matte pale has been discontinued! oh and you have to use the thicker sponge the other one doesn't provide great coverage.

I've used dual finish for years, and absolutely love it. I use it dry on my normal/dry skin and find that it evens out my skin nicely, and doesn't leave blotches or flakes. When applied, it doesn't look like you're wearing to much make up even though I tend to put a lot on.

I like the feel of the dry powder but not the wet. I generally prefer a very sheer, light foundation. I hate the flimsy disk that comes with the powder. I find that the thicker sponger applicator helps the powder go on better. Very good color selection and the powder stays all day without touchups on my normal/dry skin.

I've been using this product for quite some time now and I think it's time for a change. It's too pricey for me running over 32 dollars and the powder is not fine enough. The packaging is fancy in a shiny black compact. It has a strong feminine scent which I'm sure is not all that great for your skin! I think this will be my last time purchasing this product. Looks like I'm on another search to look for a great face powder!

I reallly wanted to like this, but it make me look so powdery and fake, my hubby even said i looked streaky. I usually love Lancome products but this was the worst. Too drying even on my oily skin, and I broke out too! Avoid this.

I was hesitant to buy a $30 compact, but the versatility of the product is well worth the money. It blends in well, and when applied wet I don't need additional concealor for blemishes.

This product held up ok on my oily skin. But it seemed to emphasize my large pores, by the end of the day. Not quite sure if I would repurchase.
