Love this mineral foundation. Doesn’t break out my skin and gives good natural coverage

An OG HG
Been using this for years, colour is perfect (golden undertones and light skin) and works well on both my dry winter skin and my combination/oily summer skin. Is long lasting and buildable. Would not be without this in my makeup bag

My OG Foundation
I have been using this since 2008 and swear by it. I have oily/combination skin and liquid foundation just makes my skin more oily. This mattifies but doesn’t make my skin look flat. I can build up the coverage or apply less for an even more natural look. And bonus points for being able to apply it without looking in the mirror, it’s that simple.

Obsessed
I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to find a base foundation that doesn’t make my face look like an oil slick. I’ve always struggled with extremely oily skin and no matter what combination of primers, foundations and setting sprays I use, no thing works and it’s been getting to a point where I’ve been sick to death. I decided to try a powder foundation and started with this one and wow! Usually I put make up on and within an hour my face feels wet, sticky and just looks like you could fry an egg on it. But with this I found that the oil didn’t come through until the evening. Really impressed! I would have given five stars but I honestly feel like for the price the size of the pot is a bit of a joke. It’s tiny and isn’t even full of product and feels more like it’s a deluxe tester you’d get in a goodie bag than a full sized product.

It’s foundation but not
This is perfect for people like me who don’t like the feeling of thick liquid foundation on their face. It’s buildable so you can have as much or as little coverage as you like, plus I am super acne-prone and it passes all the tests for being non-comedogenic. Plus makes me look really glowy! I went to one of the concession stands and the lady advised me on the right shade so o didn’t end up wasting money.

Shocked and Surprised!
I am blown away and so surprised by this product! I must admit, I was a little concerned about using a loose powder foundation instead of my usual liquid options. Firstly, it applies so easily with minimal mess, and just blends into the skin so beautiful. My skin looks absolutely flawless and so radiant and glowy (another surprise). It feels so lightweight and blurs my skin to perfection. I recommend starting small and building up to your desired coverage which is totally possible and easy to do! Also, please ensure your skin is prepper and hydrated before you apply. I used the brands Beautiful Finish Brush and it works like a dream. My skin looks healthy, flawless, and perfected. My new obsession for sure!

Unmatchable for dark skin
I, unfortunately, had no luck with this product. The darker shades are unworkable, but I tried. The first shade I ordered was "Warm Dark" but it was too dark and very red despite the "yellow" undertones it proclaimed to have. Then I ordered "Warm Tan", and in the packaging is my perfect colour, but when applied to my skin it's so PINK and it makes my face look so ashy. I would not recommend this powder to dark-deep skin people who have complex undertones. I gave it two stars instead of one because I do like the finish on my skin but the colour's completely off. Such a waste of money.
