    No shine control AT ALL. It didn't look too bad on the skin though, I guess, and didn't turn orange either. For those who do decide to try out this product (though I wouldn't recommend it), trash...

    Just like every other powder in the world, it was too dark for me. It didn't hel control my oily skin either. It seemed to make me skin even oilier. I'm still using it until I find a new powder and...

    Pros: Good color (Light 01), nice coverage, decent amount of powder in the package. Cons: Shine free? Not on my skin - I think I was shining in an hour or two. In fact in some wierd way it...

    Well, I have tried Prescriptives, Estee Lauder, NYC, Cover Girl, and Coty loose powders; and I have tried this. This one is my favorite so far, followed only by the Coty powder. It gives me sheer...

    I agree with several posters that this powder did not do a great job controlling oil and looked cakey. I've had much better luck with the Sally Hansen/Cornsilk and Sonia Kashuk loose powders.

    I only gave this an overall rating of 4 because I have not had much experience with loose powders. I use this on top of my Anthelios Fluide Extreme XL sunscreen, which makes my oily skin feel so...

    This goes on smoothly and matches my pale skin perfectly! I used it in light and I really like it. I disagree with a lot of the negative comments made about it. The only bad thing about it was that...

    I hate seeing this product have so many bad ratings, when honestly, I thought it truly delivered. It kept my T-zone matte in hot Oklahoma weather. The color seems to fair pretty well with my skin...

    I bought this powder since it was on the safelist on zerozits.com as well! It doesn't cause or irritate acne, but it doesn't really do anything else, either. My first complaint is the packaging. ...

    I have this in medium and it's a pretty good color. Can't really see it. It controls shine really well after you apply it...but in about an hour or so it's back to re-applying. So, so far-ok.....

    I have oily, acne prone skin and this never breaks me out and gives me good shine control throughout the day. It's a very light, breathable loose powder with no acne causing ingredients, and I...

    For me this does not control shine at all. The texture is ok, but not finely milled. Overall this is just an average loose powder with medium coverage and doesn't control shine.

    I bought this in light, which wasn't as light as I like. I prefer translucent loose powders. The puff was terrible, like one that comes with pressed powder. If you buy this, make sure you're not...

    I didn't like this, it make my skin look very made-up and cakey, and usally that doesn't happen with just powder. I would not repurchase this, especally after using Sally Hansen's cornsilk pressed...

    Great product that works all day to beat the shine on your forehead and nose. You tip the tub upside down to sift the powder and then apply from inside the container. Only thing is when you have to...
