I have been using this powder foundation for about 9 months and I just went to buy another one. I don't use foundation every day, but it really is long-lasting. I have tried it with my own foundation brush and the one The Body Shop recommends and I do have to admit that their brush is more effective in that I use less product and get better coverage.

It doesn't give total coverage, so my beauty marks are still visible - and that's what I like about it. However, redness from any acne or other spots on my face is really well hidden! I was most impressed with it when after a vigorous game of dodge ball with some kids it was still in tact and my makeup still looked great! It's very lightweight, I often forget I'm wearing it at all.

Okay so I used the foundation for a few days. I had to ask someone for help with matching the correct foundation shade to suit my skin. It doesnt give you heavy coverage, so if you want a mineral foundation that would cover your entire face completely, I’d go with MAC or Jane Iredale mineral foundation. I like that it was long lasting, and it didn’t clog my pores (my skin is picky when it comes to foundation). It reduced the redness caused by the spots in my face, particularly the T zone area. Overall I am giving the foundation 4/5 stars!
