A decent enough powder if you're looking for light coverage and luminosity. However, this is not ideal for oilier skin types and tends to cake up on the skin with poor oil controlling properties....

I love my MSFN. I can use this by itself or over foundation. It doesn't break me out or make me too matte or cakey looking. I wish there was a mirror in the compact though!

Although it's a mineral powder, this product breaks me out and the shade darkens throughout the day. I noticed that my face becomes more oily as well. Coverage is minimal as this product emphasizes...

This is a good powder for me and hides redness on my cheeks well (I don't use foundation and just use concealer under eyes). The coverage is enough to make my skin even when built up. After a...

I'm not a fan of this product. The powder didn't really mattify my skin, and made it very, very cakey. It also clogged my pores, which is a big no-no.

While I don't hate this product, I do not plan to buy it again. I think that it has a lot of unnecessary unnatural ingredients for a "mineral" powder. Unlike other mineral powders, which can be...
