    I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this product. On some days, it's wonderful - sheer, yet evens out my skin tone without anyone being able to tell that I'm wearing foundation. Easy...

    Out of my two favourite powder foundations (this and MAC Studio Fix) this gives the best finish (although I do really LUUUV Studio Fix!!) It just gives me a nice soft glow and because if reflects...

    I loved this product--I have dry skin but love the feel of a non-liquid foundation. I thought it was a rip-off paying $23 for the foundation, plus another $20 for the empty compact. But...

    On it's own this product is alright. It doesn't fare very well on my dry skin and it starts to flake almost immediately after application. When I've dampened the sponge with water, it makes it go...

    I just can't like this product. As a foundation, the coverage is much too sheer and it flakes on me. As a finishing powder, the coverage suddenly became too heavy and looked obvious. Yeah, it was...

    Stila IPF is the foundation I always come back to, no matter what I have been using. In fact, I have been using this on and off since 1998 - that's 8 years now!! A previous reviewer summed it up...

    I have been using Stila IPF in 60 or 70 Watt for a little over a year now. Previously used MAC Studiofix NC35-45. Right now its summer, and I'm using the 70 Watt. I LOVE this powder! I use it dry,...

    I was not too thrilled with this....well honestly, I did love it at first. I have oily/acne-prone skin and I usually HATE the feeling of heavy foundation and powder so I thought I'd try this and...

    This was pretty expensive seeing that you have to buy the compact seperately. But I have grown to really love my IPF. The color is yellow based which I love cause its so hard for me to find a color...

    I used this as a finishing powder when I used liquid foundation. It has a slight shimmer to it, but nothing as obvious as the illuminating liquid. It has a tiny bit of coverage, but almost nothing....

    This is my HG powder foundation. It gives me a natural finish but it makes my skin look like it's glowing. This foundation is so silky-it never looks like you have "makeup" on your skin. The...
