This is a fantastic foundation. It kept me matte all day long, which is a huge feat as my makeup seems to deteriorate at a quicker rate when I'm in school; I'm not sure why, but it does, lol....

This is the best powder foundation I've ever tried (and I've tried so many). It goes on smooth and even, and makes my normally blotchy/acne-prone skin look perfect. It absorbs oil really well, yet...

I bought this foundation after reading the good reviews for oily skin. It did absolutely nothing for me. The color match was great (I am very pale), but it was the flattest finish I have ever...

I bought this after reading reviews last summer. I used it (per MUA recs) over the MN Lasting Foundation. It was dead on and I used up a whole powder foundation in about 8 mos. I started to realize...

I have been using mineral foundations (BE and Everyday Minerals most recently), but found them to be messy and they don't travel very well. I have oily skin with a few blemishes and enlarged pores...

Nothing to rave about. Compact by itself looks cheap, surface of the powder after several times of using with BB kabuki brush looked like so unflat like a low-end one. Coverage - so-so, dusty-like....

This is a good foundation for those who need medium to fuller coverage. It's moisturizing and dewy, not matte. I like this foundation for days that I'm dry. It keeps the flakes at bay and does not...

This is a perfect powder foundation, but I do not use it as a foundation. I use it a touch up compact during the day. It does not cake on like other powders. I will always have this in my purse at...

Well, you all were right. This stuff is great! I am constantly on the search for the "perfect" foundation and I've tried so many over the years. As I'm entering middle age (yikes!) and my skin has...

EDIT - 03.12.13 - I revisited this product based on my previous experience. The smell is worse than I remember, like crushed candy all over my face which did not go away. I also had a difficult...
