I dont use foundation on a daily basis. On some days I prefer to go light on make-up and this is what I use.<br/> It doesnt have very good coverage, it is very sheer. So for those looking for...

This is a pretty good powder. I use it to control shine and give my face a matte look. I don't use foundation and this is enough for my skin.

Changed my mind about this. Like most other pressed powders, it can look cakey. I'm sticking to loose powders from now on.

This is the only powder I have used that I actually like! It goes on sheer, unlike some powders I have used in the past that actually have a color to them. This powder does not look powdery and...

No complaints, this does everything a powder should do. the puff, though...I kind of wish this stuff came with a brush instead. The puff is just too flimsy. I will repurchase when I can afford...

It actually did nothing to my oily face. It barely shows, it barely holds my makeup, it barely absorbed oil. I guess I'm the only one that's not satisfied with this product. It has very soft...

Good product that lives up to its name. It's really very sheer, which I like because it feels like I'm wearing nothing, but gives me that matt look and is easy to control. When I apply it with my...

I love this stuff. NW20 is a perfect match for my skin. It's lightweight and it can be used off and on throughout the day for touchups without looking clumpy.

I like this powder a lot. It is a bit much sometimes though. A little too thick for me, makes my skin feel dry and I have fairly oily skin. Keeps my face matte for most of the day though.

I am NC30. This color really matches my skin tone. It is a bit drying tho and you shouldn't use if you have dry skin. I use with powder brush for light coverage.

this one really does cover...maybe too much. I found it a bit mask like and my face ended up greasy-it did not wear well. Looks great, but only for awhile.

It offers medium coverage. I don't like this at all. Makes my skin look flaky.

"Average" is the only way to describe this. In my opinion, it isn't any more special than a compact from Maybelline. I agree with the reviewer who commented on how low-quality the puff is. I...

Overall a good product that has a smooth texture and good colour matches. It's cheaper than most counter brands at $36 but it's not refillable though. Doesn't dry up my skin and accentuates dry...
