ColorStay Pressed powder

This is not a dupe for MAC Studio Fix Powder. It's a sheer setting powder that mattifies and sets your foundation. It does add a bit of coverage but nothing as full coverage like MAC. I would say this powder is really similar to MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder (which has now been discontinued). Nevertheless this is a great setting powder for your foundation. Both oily or dry skin can use …Read more

Oh how I have missed this formulation or color or whatever is going on with this powder. For awhile there it was looking ashy on me. But I saw it in CVS with a better color selection again and picked it up on a whim because I needed a fairer colored powder than I already have. Stuff is like a cross between MAC studio fix and their regular pressed powder for me. As in save your money on MAC and …Read more

I was in a crunch and couldn't afford my HG powder foundation from Clinique which runs all of about $30/compact. I just didn't have the money. I ALWAYS have to buy my powder from Belks either Clinique, MAC, ect. I have tried SO many different powders from Walmart and to no avail they never worked. Until i found this!! I picked this up in "FAIR" at my local CVS and am actually …Read more

Maybe this is the newly designed compact...stupidest design ever. You have to open the compact, then open it a second time from within to get to the push and the mirror. Why not just leave the puff on top of the powder instead of having to go through 2 steps to get to it? Ridiculous. Not convenient at all. I like to do touchups and am not about to carry a makeup kabuki brush in my purse. Piece …Read more

This powder works quite well on my skin! It sets my concealer really nicely and stays put the whole day! It also kept my oil at bay which is really good as I have super oily skin.

The packaging was also really nice imo, the large pan area makes it really easy to get the powder using my brush. However, I feel that it is abit too chunky to carry it around for touchups. The puff that …Read more

This powder worked really well as a setting powder. It made my face look more airbrushed. I'm not a huge fan of the packaging as it's too thick and the compartment for the powder puff was too big. I did not find the applicator useful as I prefer using it with a powder brush. Overall I liked the product and did repurchase it once as my current one is running out.

Chalk city for me. I looked like I was getting ready for a funeral after I put this on - my own funeral. I'm admittedly pale, but this powder made me look ghastly and flat, and magnified the pores in my T-zone to scientific levels. I put it on one time, gasped in the mirror, and then drove it back to Walgreens to return it. Maybe they do better with deeper shades, but the light ones are …Read more

I heard a lot of good things about this powder and about the colorstay foundation as well, but after trying this I won't give the foundation a go because I was disappointed.
Having extra oily skin I didn't expect this to last all day, but since it claims it is long wear, I was a bit disappointed that after only 2 hours there was not too much powder left on my face, save from some …Read more

I bought this powder because I was having so much trouble in the summer with my oily skin being all shiny within a couple hours of applying powder. This product caught my eye because it claimed to last 12+ hours. Well, I don't know about that. I usually had to re-apply this one after about 5 hours, which I'll admit is longer than most powders last on my face. I bought the translucent …Read more
