Whenever I run out of my Mac powder this is my go-to back up. The colors tend to match my liquid foundations well and provide good coverage and last most of the day. I get spray tans once a week but when I skip a week and find myself pale again, I use this as a foundation so I don’t end up spending a ton of money while still using a shade that makes my current skin tone. The product can sometimes get cakey if I’m not careful but it’s easily fixable. I work 12 hour shifts in a hospital and it stays on for the majority of the day but does get a little blotchy if I get sweaty.

I’ve been using this powder for several years now and it’s my go to!i don’t like a translucent powder, I like this because of it’s silky consistency and the tint. I’m super fair with pink undertones and this doesn’t yellow/orange me out. I don’t know about the skin clearing aspect of the product as I don’t have problem skin. But I can tell you is oil absorbing. I lay down moisturizer all over my face, then a layer of foundation and concealer, then contour, then dust my face and neck with this. I apply highlighter last so the powder doesn’t dull it!! Highly recommended!!

I’m going to start off by saying that I don’t think this is skin clearing at all. I think if anything it’s going to keep any existing pimples from being slightly less inflamed from make up but it isn’t going to magically solve skin issues.

For a powder I feel like it covers well without being cakey. I did notice I have to touch up slightly more often but overall it’s one of favorite drug store powders despite its few flaws. I would definitely purchase it again.

I do like the color of this foundation and it does apply pretty nicely. My skin around my chin can sometimes be dry and this dries it out more and makes the dry skin way more visible. Great for touch ups on oily parts of your face while you're out. I'll use it occasionally on my t zone when my skin is breaking out. It covers pretty nicely under the eye!

I think this is the best powder foundation in the drugstore! This is amazing especially for the price. It blends so well. It also doesn’t feel cakey on my skin. It is my color even if the color doesn’t really fit my skin. It blends into the skin very well. I highly recommend this for anyone starting out make up. My favorite product by Neutrogena so far.

This product worked well for me. I have had continuous acne since 13yo so this did not clear my face up but it also didn’t break it out more (which is a good thing). I have switched to a new brand but only because I switched over to cruelty-free products. I would not but again until I know for sure they are cruelty-free. Once they are then I will definitely buy again.

This is he only powder I typically use. I’m a me prone and terrified that foundations will make me break out worse. This is made for acne prone skin, and feels lightweight. It’s not an obvious powder and blends in to my face well. Sometimes my oil really breaks through, and the colors don’t really have a ton to choose from. But overall excellent.

I love the coverage of this powder, it comes with a dual sided sponge for light to heavy coverage. I like that it's meant for acne prone skin, keeps my skin from breaking out and when it does, I feel good wearing this because I know it won't make my breakout worse. The only thing I am not too happy about is that my skin still manages to get oily, but all I have to do is reapply and I can be good for another few hours.
