Most Helpful Positive Review i love this but nt enough product I recently purchased this about 2 weeks ago i needed foundation powder to wear to miami carnival, i read alot of the reviews on this powder and i decided id give it a go!! I love,love, love this powder my make up last all day no need to reapply and it holds even if through out the day you tend to gt a lil oily in Mac mineraliz skin finish im a dark How ever Nutmeg is the comp powder for tht color in this powder the stay matte nt flat actually is better quality and its less the money, the disappointment is that it hits pan way to fast
Most Helpful Critical Review I loved this powder... I loved this powder foundation. It replaced my MAC studio fix. It was velvety when applied with just enough coverage without looking like a mask. A little bit goes a long way so I used a wedge sponge to decrease coverage. It kept my face matte for most of the work day. When I went to go restock bc I ran out, I noticed that the bottom label with the shade number changed. (It used to be big, now the # is small) No big deal, right? WRONG! When I applied the powder with the wedge sponge & included round sponge, it felt CHEAP. It didn't blend; I felt like it wasn't even getting on the sponge. The previous formulary was soft and velvety; this version is hard like kid's play makeup. If you buy this powder, look at the bottom label. If the number is big, that's the good powder; if it's small, put it back on the shelf!
Reviewed by 1817 customers Nice, but color range is lacking 4
Sarah from U.S.
Works great for my oily skin. Also, talc-free! I would never try to apply this for full coverage because the shade range is so limited.
I love this powder 5
Rena from GA
It's a nice powder for everyone
Not for people with oily skin 3
Jj93 from Pennsylvania
I like this product but I have oily skin and I feel that my face looks very shiny and oily after a very short period of time. Probably wouldn't but again or will need to use extra primer to prevent this
Loved it!! 5
Jmir0512 from San Antonio
Bought one to try it and the following week i bought three more to make sure i don't run out. Great long lasting coverage. I have a new favorite.
A staple in my bag of tricks 4
Momof2plus1 from Shelton, wa
Great coverage foundation that goes on as a powder but offers great coverage without the heavy oiliness
Love love love this product! 5

I do not stray from this powder! It is absolutely perfect at creating a smooth & polished foundation base, lasting through the day, and completing your look. I use the shade natural over my liquid foundation before baking and contouring & it works like a dream!
Love!!! 5
April K from California
I absolutely love NYX stay matte but never flat powder foundation. It's my go to for every day use. It's never drying, patchy or chalky. I use vitamin C serum and was worried my skin would look like mud but I didn't have any issues at all. You can build coverage with ease so if full coverage is your thing you still don't have to worry about the cakey feel.
HG setting power 5
Cassie from Seattle
I wish they sold this with reusable packaging or single pans so I didn't waste so many compacts. But I love this powder so much. I like the extra bit of coverage it offers for setting my foundation.
yes!!! 5
jmarz from rhode island
works so well to get rid of all day shine! feels light on my skin but gives full coverage. love this product and lasts me forever.
Poor coverage, caused breakouts 2
Chesh from Asheville, NC
I bought this since it was a recommended dupe to It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation. Alas, I found the coverage to be sheer. I tried to "build it" with no luck. I tried using brushes, beauty blender (dry and wet), and the included sponge. It would provide a matt effect but that's it. I would need to re-apply after a few hours indoors. Finally, although everyone's skin is different, I started breaking out after moving this product into my daily routine (it's the only change I made).
Bring it back! 5
Brit from Oklahoma
Tried this for the first time a few months ago. Best powder I've found. Went to buy more to discover you can no longer get the lightest shade :( also in the liquid foundation there's no option for any light shades. Don't understand!! I would continue to buy if the lights shades becomes available again. I'm very fair and need an ivory type shade. Most of my friends are as well. Losing a lot of customers by not even having an available shade for us!
Very nice 5
Aya from Georgia
I honestly wasn't sure what to expect because I had never used powder foundation before but it applies like a dream
Just right 5
Mimi from Houston TX
Glad I found this powder foundation. I'm planning to keep using this instead of the stick foundation I used before.
My Staple Setting Powder 5
MightyMaybe from Corpus Christi, TX
I've been using this powder pretty consistently for at least a year now. I use it to set my foundation. I know it's technically a foundation itself, but it doesn't provide coverage of my redness or hold up to oil/sweat (Texas heat) enough to wear it alone. I do enjoy the mattifying effect as a setting powder. I don't find myself having to touch up during the day and I love it.
SO UPSETTING!!! 5
bam24 from texas
why nyx?!... WHY????!!! this had been my holy grail for at least a decade now ! how could u discontinue such a staple product?!?! not to be too dramatic but I'm hurt and im upset. I have tried many others and none compare to this powder. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I understand revamping the line and staying current but dang..dont delete the staple products! I don't have the time or money for that matter to be testing out a bunch of other powders that I already know won't be the same. I wish brands would give a clear heads up when certian products will be discontinued to give us a chance to prepare and buy multiples so we have TIME to find something else...thats the least a brand should do for their loyal customers!
Shade range is embarrassing 1
BaiLee from Hannibal
A woman of color can forget about this powder foundation.
I haven't purchased nor used this powder foundation, but there isn't a chance I ever will.
Looks Great on the Skin 4
GracieMae from Ct
Nice powder foundation.
No coverage 1
Nikki from Kenosha, wi
I wanted a nice powder that could provide at least a little coverage. This has none at all. I even tried using it as a setting powder too over some concealer to help hide imperfections and still did nothing. Not a fan.
Absolutely love this! 5
Mbaker from Gouverneur NY
I have been using this product for about 7 years and it has never failed for me. I have acne and acne scars so I always have to have make up on. This matte powder is the perfect size for me to carry in my purse or my pocket if needed. Once my skin gets oily I just dap this on over it and it takes care of it without it looking like I have a ton of make up on. It's also good for going back over pimples throughout the day. It is not a powder you want to apply without a foundation though. It is blotchy. But I love it and will continue to use it!
Facepowder with that old-timey facepowder smell 2
KT from GA
I used it as facepowder. Coverage made my face feel tight and dry plus it smelled like the facepowder my grandma used way, way back. I returned it.
I would buy this product again 4
Sai from Perris
I really like how with just a little it covers the stuff i need to be covered
My favorite powder 5
Addy from Chicago
I love this powder! I've never used it as a foundation, but I set my under eyes and face with it. Gives me the extra coverage I need and covers redness. I prefer to use it on top of a tinted moisturizer or light foundation and it looks great :)
Powder love 💕 5
Mattie from Huntsville, AL
I generally use this by itself to kind of blur my natural skin or over my foundation to make it smoother. It just great for me and takes off enough shine.
I love this foundation! 5
Aspen from Bel Air, Maryland
This foundation is great. I put it on in the morning and my skin still looks good in the afternoon. Not blotchy or heavy.
Great staying power 5
MelisR from Chesterton, Indiana
I like powder foundations because they are easy to apply, even out my skin tone and take away redness and discolorations. NYX foundation is a great price and works fantastic!
