    The best fondation I have found so far for my combination/oily skin. It unfortunately seems to have been discontinued...

    Great for daily use, prevents the face from being oily at a reasonable price. Good coverage for the face as well. I recommend it.

    I love this powder, and I am sad it is discontinued. This mattified so well, but made my skin look natural, as there is very fine microshimmer. This powder was also very fine, and felt silky.

    At one point in time, this was my all time favourite drugstore powder. But then I realized that it really wasn't doing much for me in keeping me matte. It kept me matte for 5 hrs or so, and then I would need to blot or touchup. I really can't be bothered to touchup in the middle of a school day. It is very finely milled, has a translucent finish, and makes the skin look airbrushed. While I do find it a little pricey for a drugstore powder, I do enjoy it more than the Rimmel Stay Matte because of how finely milled and non-cakey it is.

    If you don't mind touching up, this would be a good powder to pick up. Personally, I'd recommend the Milani Multitasker Face Powder for people with oily skin.

    Next to the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, this is the most reached for drugstore pressed powder in my makeup collection. I have purchased this multiple times and I will continue to repurchase this. I have combination skin with the oily parts specific to my T-zone. This powder helps eliminate shine and keeps my skin looking matte for several hours (~4-5 hours). I like the compact it comes in and the mirror that's included. I'm not a big fan of the powder puff applicator but it works for quick touch-ups. It's inexpensive and it readily available in most drugstore.

    There isn't that wide a range of shades but it only provides a bit of coverage so you can't really go wrong when picking your shade. I use it to set my foundation and it helps to eliminate any spots that look shiny or oily and helps keep my makeup on longer. I would definitely recommend this.

    I love this powder but I always forget about re-purchasing it. It keeps oily skin matte and has staying power.

    I've heard a lot of people rave about this powder. Maybelline is by far my favorite brand from the drugstore, but this powder did not meet the cut for me. I was very excited about it, but it actually ended up in my products I regret buying video on youtube. First of all my worst complaint is that it smells like dirty diapers. So unless you enjoy the aroma of poop in a diaper, you will not enjoy the smell. Secondly, when looking close at the powder it has a slight shimmer.. yet claims to be a matte powder. The price is decent, but the color selection is on the light side & also each other looks rather gray toned. Lastly, this powder did not keep me matte for more than a half an hour & I have combo skin. I would not recommend this powder at all.

    I wear the shade Light(Cream). I have used this product alone, with the Dream Smooth Mousse as well as with the Dream Fresh BB. Alone, I didn't like it all that much. It's obviously dry and made some of my dry spots flaky which I didn't like. When I wore it with the BB cream, it was a lightweight makeup that I could wear in public when I didn't necessarily want to be "done up" but still want to have something on my face to even my skin tone. I used it with the mousse when I wanted a full coverage makeup that wouldn't rub off, or sweat off during the day. Overall, I love this powder and would recommend it to anyone. I have oily/combination skin but I believe that this product would be great on normal skin as well. For dry skin I would definitely recommend using a moisturizer or bb cream, like I did.

    I really like this i think it does wonders for oily skin and really does reduce the excess oil to leave a matte finish. Recommend this product I think it worked really well and affordable price. Have purchased 2 already myself!

    I really love this powder because sometimes when I put on a foundation I notice that my face is a bit shiny, but as soon as I apply this I notice it gets rid of the sheen which I really like. I also like how when I apply this I don't notice it on my skin and it feels really light as if I have nothing on at all.
