    It should be renamed So Ingenuine. Disappointing. An overpriced loose powder that does not cover, stay or even blend well. Nothing about it was promising. I gave it a good test of two months. I...

    Incredible! How EL has the audacity to market such a cheap quality product for the price they ask. This so-called powder-foundation has absolutely no staying power at all. Summertime is the best...

    For two reviewers below, you can take back to the store if you don't like your Estee Lauder products. Mine is Cool Almonde and it doesn't turn orange or any other color. I tried the color at their...

    Horrible colors. Agree with orangey look. Better stuff at the drugstore. Keep your money.

    I can't remember what shade I got (i threw it away) but all I know is it made my face turn orange with a tinge of red. I felt like there was no coverage at all. After all, I want my foundation to...

    For the price this should have been a much better powder than it actually is. I've tried applying it with a half-dozen different applicators and brushes and I always get that "grainy" look. It is...

    Well, I have bought this two times, in two different shades. The first time, I got warm light, which looked to yellow on me (amazing, I thought that wasn't possbile). The second time I got cool...

    Actually i think this product's not too bad. doesn't oxidise, keeps my face fairly matte. I want to like it, but the shades are v. limited, and unsuitable for me (i'm a fair Chinese). Very pricey...

    I really dont understand some of the reviews here. On the EL Website, it clearly states that this is recommended for NORMAL SKIN only. <p>This powder foundation gave medium coverage for me and...

    I bought this powder foundation in Warm Gentle Beige. It's an excellent colour match and gives a light coverage. I use concealer underneath for redness or spots. It evens out my complexion which...

    This is the first foundation I've used that has actually pleased me. Everything else either looks cakey, feels heavy, or accentuates dry spots. Sometimes all three! This stuff, however, looks soft...

    NASTY! I should have listened to the posters below! I do not have oily skin but my nose can get a tad shiney on hot days. This stuff gets soggy and turns orange and dark after about 5 minutes on...

    This foundation works well for me. I have dry skin and an even complexion. If you have oily skin and/or an uneven complexion, I would avoid this product. It tends to change colour if your skin...

    This is a nice foundation, a bit pricey if you ask me. Skin feels very smooth and silky. It doesn’t give you much coverage, so it’s good for those who have almost perfect skin. My skin is...

    I've been using this powder and the liquid foundation for several months now and I love it. Something unusual I noticed about both is they give the skin a slightly luminous glowy look, which most...

    This is one of the worst powder foundations that I have ever used. The color changed on my face after a couple of hours and my whole face was irritated. I do not recommend this for anyone,...

    I tried this powder because I prefer a very sheer coverage on my face and don't want to look made up. You can get more coverage by using a sponge but most days I just apply a dusting of it with my...
