Hands down, this is an excellent pressed powder. I use this in the Transluscent shade. It absorbs oil and shine like nothing I've ever used before and it provides an extremely MATTE finish over...

I agree with everyone here. This is the most decent pressed powder that I have ever used. I apply it using a big brush. I puff it off over my Revlon Colorstay foundation. This is my HG. :)

I have been using this pressed powder for the past couple of years. I use translucent shade. This stands up to any other pressed powders on the market for a fraction of the price.

This stuff works best over foundation or concealer. It lasts a decent amout of time, and does a pretty good job at controlling shine. Don't underestimate NYC, I really think they're starting to...

I really liked this powder, it was cheap, didn't break me out, didn't change the color of my foundation, was truly translucent, and worked well at keeping oilies away without caking up. just bought...

I love this! I ran out of my Cornsilk and they don't carry it at Target, so I picked this up for $1.72. I was also looking into buying Clinique's Invisible Matte Pressed Powder but I was unsure of...

D'oh! Silly me, I should have picked up a darker shade like the Warm Beige instead. This is a great powder for the price, but it's not really truly translucent, especially when using the foam puff...

NYC Pressed Powder does exactly what it should do, WITHOUT settling in fine lines the way other pressed powders do. I got mine for 1.75. Granted, the packaging is cheesy, but I usually don’t take...

Ha! This stuff is cheap! Decent powder though. Goes on smooth, doesn't turn my makeup funny colors (I don't pile it on though), and seems to help with oilies. My new makeup (Inspired by Carmindy)...

Blends impeccably and does a great job reducing oiliness, making skin look smoother. It needs to be reapplied fairly often and the plastic case feels cheap, but who cares at that price!

I am so glad I didn't go spend another 20 bucks on a HE product! This one is cheap and does the job! I have tried a few products that claim to do what this one does and I will never stray from this...

I'm not going to lie, for about two bucks I wasn't expecting much when I got this, but oddly enough this is probably one of the best powders I've used before. I have very oily skin in the summer...

this powder really controls oil and gives you that flawless finish. Im MAC NC20-25 and the color really suits me. It doesn't give you that ghastly look and this came out sheer with pretty coverage....
