I usually love this product, but I got one with the new
I usually love this product, but I got one with the new packaging last month and it was terrible. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or if the formula changed with the new packaging as well, but the powder started cracking after just a few uses and turned in to a crumbly mess! I am now having to...

I bought the Stay Puff and it had no coverage at all no matter how much I build it. The powder is also like a rock, need to scrubb hardly to get some on the sponge. My face got so shinny in 3-4 hours. Tried it many times. A total waste of money.
my favorite
This pressed powder is light and doesn't clump or settle in lines but still gives a finished look. I sometimes use it in lieu of foundation when I want a no-makeup look and feel. Goes on easily with a powder brush.
Exactly the same as covergirl powder
I mean, it's fine. It's not "foundation" to literally any extent, it's just powder, the same as any powder. It doesn't cover any more than covergirl powder. It doesn't last any longer. It doesn't look different. It needs to go over an actual foundation if you want coverage. I got this for free as my diamond gift, and I use it frequently, but I wouldn't purchase it.
Great product!
This has been my favorite foundation for many years now…..love it's even coverage in my skin!
