Most Helpful Positive Review Creamy & Natural! Cover Girl Clean Powder in Creamy Natural is the most incredible beauty discovery I have ever made.
In an industry where growth is key and change is imminent you can expect to fall in love with a product and then see it disappear from shelves or be altered to the point where it might as well have vanished altogether.
In the 20 years I have been using this powder (which works well over a vast spectrum of foundations or by itself as a quick fix) the one and only thing that has changed is the packaging.
Why?
Because anybody can use it with zero fear that it will hurt their skin, it smells deliciously of Noxzema and it holds up well for hours between reapplications.
A must have for your makeup bag!
Most Helpful Critical Review Cover fell off within a couple weeks..just broke I used this for a couple weeks until I noticed the lid was cracked at the hinge...now it is completely broken off. Unfortunately the same thing happened to my previous Covergirl powder container..I did not drop it or do any damage to it myself. I think I have had it with this particular product!! Oh, the powder puff fell apart within a couple weeks also. Inferior materials.
Reviewed by 301 customers Flimsy compact 1
Laura7070 from Houston
Flimsy compact: i've been using cover girl for over 20 years and never had a problem with my compact top breaking off. It seems that the new style of compacts is not well-made, within a week or two the top snaps off and I end up having to wrap rubber bands around it to keep it closed so it doesn't get all over my make up bag. I'm not buying this compact again, it's embarrassing to pull out my makeup with rubber bands around it.
Unbelievably Strong Scent 1
Pep from New Mexico
my mother bought this seeing the "clean" label and how it claims to be hypo-allergenic, hoping it wouldn't activate her fragrance allergies. It REEKS. You can literally smell it halfway across the room, it's awful. I am not allergic to fragrance but it makes even me nauseous. We don't even know how well it preforms because it smells so bad she can't put it near her face. I washed the (unused) sponge with soap and water to see if we could at least use that for something else and it still stinks. It's completely unusable.
I will buy this product again 5
Sweetness from Peoria, AZ
My face feels clean using this brand and I love the noxema smell it has.
Good powder, awful smell 3
Lilah from Washington
This powder is good, nothing bad to say about the powder itself, but THE SMELL is god-awful. I'm not usually sensitive to smells or care if there's scents in my makeup but when I received this I opened the compact and it was so strong it gave me a headache, and I got whiffs of it throughout the day. So if you're looking for a good powder and smells don't bother you this would be good for you.
Great lightweight powder! 5
Jacob from Chicago
I use to have oily skin, but I still am oily on my forehead. I use a matte powder just for my forehead and this for everywhere else and OMG it's so beautiful! Makes the skin look perfected!
I bought 4 more after I bought 1 5
Jchmom from Florida

LOVEIT 5
Mommy2 from Washington court house

I didn't receive my one free 3
Joyce from Indiana IN
I loved this product, but when I bought was buy 2 and get 1 and I didn't receive my one free.
Matte 4
Ivonne from Texas
Blurs the skin. It is matte. I used to use this back in middle school, and I loved it!
Wasteful packaging -- why not refillable? 1
Lorax from undisclosed
While the product itself works well I have decided that I cannot continue using it. Who wants to throw away a perfectly good compact and mirror all the time? This is wasteful and bad for the planet. I'm switching to a brand that does refillable.
Worst powder ever 1
Diana from Apple Valley
Idk where to start. This is the worst powder ever. No coverage at all. Fallout everywhere 😫
Overwhelming Scent 2
Michelle1969 from Wilson, NC
I have been a Covergirl user for years and I never had any issues with their products until this. I purchased a pressed powder in Creamy Natural and when I opened it, the smell of the powder was just too much. I thought maybe this was an old product so I took it back and got another. Same thing. I can barely use it because of the smell.

I HAD TO WRITE THIS TO WARN ABOUT SMELL! 3
SweetHomeAlamanda from AL
I didn't have my makeup kit and I needed to get a compact with a mirror, so I sent my daughter in to a store to get me any cheap pressed powder compact...bc of course I'd also use the powder if I needed it. Y'ALL! THE SMELL IS SOOOO BAD. I hate to say it, but think "elderly lady perfume mixed with heavy perfumed bath powder." I had to break the powder out of the compact and throw that part away, and then scrubbed the pan really well in the sink just to use the mirror! I'm sorry I've not got much of a review about the actual powder, but trust me- I'm trying to do you a favor- YOU DON'T WANT THIS ONE, and scents don't usually bug me. I did use it to set my concealer on eyelids and I had to take my makeup off bc the smell lingers. AWFUL... PASS ON THIS ONE!
Perfect 5
Tinachat56 from Murrieta California
I love this powder. I have used Mac to Lancome and this powder beats them all. It is the BEST. Perfect for home or on the go. Flawless .
Great product but I don't like the compact design 4
Catwoman1275 from Somewhere
I have used this product for many, many years, since I first started using makeup. In my 20s I started to buy department store makeup. Recently I rediscovered this powder and I love the Noxzema scent. I took off one star because the compact was redesigned about 10 years ago or so and I can't stand it. It breaks very easily and it's difficult to open when I'm wearing acrylic nails. COVERGIRL please design the compact like Smoothers and Advanced Radiance pressed powder.
A Staple in My Makeup Bag Since 1979 5
kalphs from undisclosed
In 1979, during my freshman year of high school, I decided to give Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder a go in lieu of my staple, Maybelline Shine Free Pressed Powder. Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder comes in twelve shades which will flatter any skin tone. The powder is light allowing your skin to breathe while at time providing natural all day coverage. Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder can be worn alone or with the matching shade of Cover Girl Clean Makeup. What I had anticipated as a onetime try has evolved into a staple of my makeup bag for the past four decades.
Smell is horrible 2
Leasha from Pa
I purchased this for the first time and it smells so strong like Noxema I can't even use it. Is there another kind just like this without a smell?
Strong Perfume Scent 2
Ruthie from Trenton, NJ
The smell is so strong, I might return it. Why would anyone want this on their face? It smells like magazine perfume inserts. It's horrible.
Love this powder 5
Leed from NY
I read a number of the reviews and I too agree how well this powder goes on. It gives a soft natural look! One of the reviews mentioned the fragrance being overpowering- Since Covergirl has come out - it has had the same fragrance- and that's fine with me - and a lot of others! I guess anyone who is bothered by the scent needs fragrance-free! This powder deserves 5 stars!
Fragrance is Too Strong 1
Eppie from undisclosed
This review is for CLEAN Pressed Powder. This powder's fragrance is completely overwhelming. Even my children complained about it. Even touching the outside of the container left a scent on my hands that lasted for hours. So then I looked at the Advanced Radiance powders, which are fragrance free, but none of the shades are like the Covergirl product I used in the past.
Strong camphor smell 2
WGirl from Central Texas
I like the coverage but it's hard to get past the smell. Smells like camphor or Noxema. I don't put it on in public because it's embarrassing. I apply at home and hope that the smell dissipates by the time I'm in public.
Great pressed powder! 5
DLS from MA
I needed a pressed powder because I don't like the shiny look and I wanted to even out my complexion. This powder works great for that. Also the powder isn't flaky or breaks up in the container like other pressed powders do. I've tried a lot of 'luxury' cosmetics and I would say Cover Girl is equal to or surpasses them in quality. Pretty much every Cover Girl product is great.
Doesn't Cover Well 2
Katie S from Connecticut
i bought this product about two weeks ago and it simply just does not cover the skin well enough. I feel like i am putting nothing on my face when i brush it on. It does smell good though.
