I have oily skin and so powders usually work well for me. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.
I found the final step in the Maybelline mineral line a bit heavy. It did help to provide an overall flawless look and cover up blemishes, but after all steps were completed I thought it made my face look very "made up" and not so natural. I recommend using a powder brush and not the foam pad that comes with the veil, it helped to take away some of the heaviness.

reviews I don't normally wear pressed powder but I thought I would give Maybelline's a try. First off, the packaging was pretty cool. It's really sturdy so it can stand up to being tossed in your purse. It comes with a sponge applicator and mirror so you can apply it wherever you are, though I did have some difficulty trying to get to it at first but I finally figured it out and thought that it was cool that there is a tiny compartment that swings out. I thought the product itself was good, it prevented me from getting oily all day. It also helped me darken up the concealer that I had which was too light. I also liked how it blended into my skin, which normally doesn't happen because I'm asian and most drugstore makeup doesn't quite match my skintone. All in all I liked Maybelline's pressed powder because it prevented me from becoming oily, matched my skintone well and didn't make my skin feel flaky after applying it.

I chose to get the bronzer as the finishing powder. I was really curious to see how good Maybelline's bronze coloured powder would be. I really love the golden hue - no orange mess here! Plus, the pigment is strong so you can afford to use a light hand. I also love the texture. The powder is silky smooth and blends easily on the skin. The mineral texture makes my skin look luminous. It also has great staying power - it lasted through a sweaty workout! I swear lol. The packaging is sleek and has a convenient slide compartment for your sponge - perfect so it won't get dirty. But I wouldn't use the sponge for the bronzer - always use a big powder brush for a natural effect. If you're in the market for a bronzer it's a really inexpensive quality bronzer!

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.

reviews 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. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews 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 [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
