Although I have switched to using mineral foundation lately, this remains as one of my top 2 foundations. The coverage it provides is exceptional, application is smooth and non-cakey, and it does...

Love it! Finally found the foundation that works for me. I have sensitive, oily skin with large pores. I put this on over Paula's Choice Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF 15 and a little concealer. ...

Bought this yesterday, and I usually don't do reviews this early, but I had to! I love this powder! At first, the gaudy, large gold and white compact and the overpowering fragrance made me a...

This one might be my HG for powder foundation. I bought this at my local MN studio. This really won't irritate my skin because I have sensitive oily skin. It keeps the oil under control. I...

This is the absolute best powder foundation I've ever used. I had been using philosophy's supernatural mineral foundation but didn't think the oil control was sufficient enough for me. I happened...

I used this powder foundation for years. The only complaints I have is that it could look pretty cakey at times on me. I have very oily skin and I liked the fact that it is a powder and seemed to...

Recently, I became curious about this brand after reminiscing about my makeover at a Merle Norman studio when I was a teenager a million years ago. It was the 80's and everything was big and gaudy,...

I've been using this from a sample for the last 3 days and I really dislike it. The coverage is too light, too powdery (now I see where the ULTRA powder name came in) and has almost no staying...

This is my hg powder, the color is a perfect match. The texture is velvety. Although this is the longest lasting powder I have tried, I wish it would last longer (shine-prone). The compact is huge,...
