Don’t believe the hype! This is a terrible powder. After seeing all the positive reviews I thought I should give it a go. Big mistake. First thing I noticed was the way it sat on my skin, it just look...Read more

I finally found my shade!! I’m NC20/25 I’ve never been dark/deep in anything in my life except this. I’m barely medium-light in most powders. I would say this runs pale to an extreme.

I wanted to like this one. Used it once and it didn't absorb any oiliness on my face.

Returned it and excahnged for MakeUp Forever Ulta HD instead.

I bought this pressed powder in Medium Dark about 2 years ago. Surprisingly, for being NC30-35, they call this shade Medium Dark which matches. I'm thinking their shade names are not quite accurate as...Read more
