    Disclaimer, I don't use this powder alone as foundation. I have very dry combination skin. I remember using this back in the day when I was in my 20s/30s as a great mineral foundation when that's...

    I normally use Glominerals but my skin started getting dry with age. I bought this makeup based on MA reviews and I'm so glad I did! This is my HG mineral foundation. It's very blendable and...

    The best mineral powder I have ever used! Looks sparkly in the container, but beautiful on the skin. I use it as a setting powder after everything is on, blends everything beautifully!

    I love this foundation. I have bought it in loose and pressed versions but I prefer the loose. The pressed gets all hard and cakes when applying. I have extremely sensitive skin. Some of the most...

    This is for the loose version of Merle Norman's purely mineral makeup. I used Bare Minerals loose powder for years but eventually found it drying and too shiny. I am also a fan of GloMinerals...

    Amazing, wonderful, miraculous foundation- just way too orangey! I have extremely sensitive, pale yellow skin that breaks out with almost anything. I've tried high-end (Sisley) to mid- (Dior) to...

    This is literally the ONLY makeup that doesn't break me out. It doesn't containt bismuth, talc, or mica. It's truly organic, and should be touted across the globe as the BEST foundation ever...

    I love this product. I have also used the Merle Norman loose version and love that, too. This product does not accentuate pore and fine lines, dry out your skins, etc. It's like magic what is does...

    This foundation provides pretty good coverage and doesn't tend to settle into lines. it also withstands a lot of humidity. What I don't like is that it is so shimmery. I prefer a little bit more...

    This is the best mineral foundation I have tried. It is on the expensive side but it will last a long time. I have been using it for a few years now.

    I have clog-prone, sensitive skin that is on the dry side. Because I am over 40 and have dry skin, most powders look cakey or accentuate my wrinkles and pores. I had been using Alima for several...
