Wow! I have thrown out my cover girl finishing powder and have replaced it with this. So much lighter and much more natural looking! I was really impressed! Like previous raters I am used to the "caked" look when it comes to finishing powder but you don't get that with this product. Another reason I loved it - it still let my skin breathe which meant no breakout afterward! Definitely recommend this product. I will buy this when I run out!
I usually use liquid foundation and finish with a translucent powder or a sweep of blush or bronzer, but this stuff is pretty amazing, especially for the price. I always avoided powders or compact foundations before because I hate the cakey, dry look that comes with them, but this one is so light that it really just adds that finished look and evens everything out. I used the Medium shade and it seems to blend well with my skin tone, even after getting a bit of a tan. It also works nicely with my non-maybelline liquid foundation.
To be honest, I had no clue what this was. I don't wear alot of make-up on my skin usually, maybe some cream and some concealer, and I was surprised that one person could wear so much on the face, and for it to look so natural and light! It really really impressed me. I even used some on my neck and chest to even out the look. I love the whole line actually. My only problem with this particular one is that it is messy. It doesn't get on my clothing or furniture, but after 2 uses the case was messy and looked like I had it for months. But other than that it was perfect for my skin!
Maybe it was because I was sick when I got my package in the mail, but I found it really hard to figure out how to access the applicator sponge in this compact! Anyways, the mirror and applicator swivels out from the bottom of the compact. This product works well to absorb oil instantly, but I'm not a big fan of the sponge applicator; I think it picks up way too much product. This is better applied using a powder brush. Overall, if you're in a hurry, this is a good way to pull your look together quickly and easily. It is a good, convenient product for touch-ups on the go.
This turned out to be a big surprise for me. I still use it; in fact, I have almost finished the pan. Depending on the brush I use, I can vary the coverage of the product. Fantastic in hiding your pores without looking too powdery. When I have really great skin I just dust this on my oily areas and go. I don't have any reason why I would discontinue using this!
Perhaps next time I will try the bronzer!
This powder came in a pretty cute case, with a fold out mirror and all. I really liked how the colour matched my skin tone nicely.
I never used to wear powder, but I love the look that this powder leaves. It looks like you spent along time doing your make-up even when it's just a quick sweep. I absolutely recommend it; not neccesarily for all skin types though
