Most Helpful Positive Review Long hours call for long-lasting I'm a nurse, and work very long hours with no time to use the bathroom, let alone "touch up" my makeup. Since this is a powder plus foundation, all I use underneath it is a light moisturizer and apply this for all day coverage that will last through a 12-14 hour shift no problem. I have been using this product for over 15 years now, and am more in love with it now than ever before. In my teens it gave me a flawless face for an uneven skin tone, in my 20's, it diffused the light to hide imperfections and blemishes. Now in my 30's it soften's those fine lines starting to appear and my large, overworked pores are practically invisible. The sun damage surfacing as well as the occasional blemish are completely gone, leaving a smooth, flawless finish and gorgeously even skintone. My 67 year old mother has also been using this for about 10 years now and she always looks flawless. It always does such a good job on her aging skin and never looks heavy or "made-up".
My skin changes with the seasons, and with age. I've gone from oily to dry and back again a hundred times over with problem issues in between, and this stuff always meets and exceeds the challenges I throw at it. It works for summer or winter, in that respect the only thing that changes with the season is my moisturizer. I have tried others like Studio Tech and Mineralize, and always come back to this.
One thing that people should know, it's what you put underneath this makeup that can make it or break it. If your skin is dry, you need a heavier moistuizer anyway and should be exfoliating. Do this, and this product will never "flake" on you. If your skin is oily, you need a sheer, oil-controlling moisturizer or prep for your skin.
This is the best coverage I have found that looks natural and never cakey. I use the sponge that comes with it for an easy, every day, all-over application. But for more buildable coverage, use a brush, I love the 187 brush for this. For softer more sheer coverage, use the 167 brush.
Most Helpful Critical Review Great for young skin, not 35+ When I was in my teens and twenties this made my skin look matte and flawless! I loved it! I always got complimented on my skin.
But as I aged (35+) and my skin got less radiant, started getting fine lines, this product settles into all of the fine lines, soaks into your under eyes creases and looks blotchy.
In conclusion,if you have young radiant skin this heavy coverage product may look awesome; however, if you're 35+ I recommend something like "Next to Nothing" over a liquid foundation or B.B. cream instead.

Maclover from Los Angeles
This has to be my favorite product in my drawer! It's so full coverage and easy to blend! This stuff is like magic when it comes to highlighting my t zone and under eyes!
Great Product 5
LeslieB from New York
Really like this product. I have very fair skin and it blends in nicely. Think it would be even better in the summer months as it seems to have oil absorbing properties; can't wait to see.
Love this compact 5
Liz from Las vegas
I have been using this compact for many years! I am glad they now carry it at Ulta.
Perfect for soft makeup days 5
Veronica R. from CA
I love this powder by itself on top of skin only. It's a full coverage powder so it gives a nice flawless look to the skin. It's good for the "natural" days where you don't want to go full glam but still want that "your skin but better" look
The BEST! 5
Alyson aka MAC ADDICT for life!♥️ from Henderson NV
The only product I swear by! Literally it's the one piece of make up I can't go without!
Good coverage but careful it gets cakey 3
Donia from WV
Love the coverage and ease of use but it is drying and looks cakey if not very careful and skin not super moisturized or primed with the right type of primer.
My go to for the past 20 years! 5
HP from Oregon
I've tried many other foundations but I always go back to this one. There are so many shades to choose from and N4 matches my skin tone perfectly. Provides just the right amount of coverage and keeps the shine away all day. I usually have one or two on back up because it's that important to my daily routine.
My favorite 5
Lee from Muskegon
This is my go to! I absolutely love this powder if I can buy it in bulk I would. It covers all the oils and nasty on the face! Just buy it!

It's a no from me sis. 1
MMakeuplogann from United States of American
Not my favorite powder foundation. I found that once I applied the foundation it made my face look dry, also the color oxidized a lot darker than the color it should be.
No foundation needed 5
Shelbynichole from Lake Jackson,Tx
when Im in a rush out the door this foundation powder does the job..5 years and it's definitely a still have in my makeup routine.
Love it 5
Lex from Bay Area
I love this powder and I've repurchased it so many times. Makes the skin looks flawless and provides extra coverage. It could be used on top of liquid foundation, or on its own.
I will never use another foundation again 5
ARG from Portland, Oregon
This powder foundation looks way better than liquid or any other kind of foundation I've ever had. Makes my skin look so smooth. If you put too much on it can look a little cakey, but nothing some fix+ or any other setting spray can't fix. NC10 also matches my fair skin perfectly
