Great coverage, easy to use, great alone or with other make up. The puff attached does need to be kept clean to avoid irritating the skin. Although it would he nice if it was easier to detach/reattach, it's still a great powder!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
-06.06.13
Quick Take: long wearing
I Love this product! I really hope they did not discontinue this product because I just do NOT know what i would do. I have been using this product faithfully for 4 years now, and it has done WONDERS for my skin. I have oily/combination skin, and this is the ONLY product that does not make me break out! Its heaven! Highly recommend it!

I love it but....
-05.22.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free, long wearing
I REALLY love this makeup. Its very light and smooth, and blends really well with my natural skin color. HOWEVER, its never in stock. I noticed that it was not available online, but I figured that I should just drive to the store, since I have been lied to before. But even the stores around me were SOLD OUT. I'm heartbroken.

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
So excited that I discovered this powder foundation...I have to admit I do wear it as setting powder to my foundation but this is the first time my makeup lasted all day without the need for numerous touch ups. I am 41 and I got my 56 year old aunt hooked on it too!!! It's truly perfecting powder.

Great concept, poor delivery
-04.21.13
I was very excited to find this. I had used the philosophy supernatural airbrushed canvas with SPF but had difficulty with the chemical sunscreen, so this doesn't have SPF and thought this may be a great alternative. I tried and tried to get it to dispense through the sponge cover but could not get it to come out evenly or fluidly. Will need to return this and the search goes on.

I started using this because they discontinued the philosophy mineral powder, and I fell in love with this product. Please put some more in stock!!!!!!!!!! I like this shade, it looks very natural. Hardly no one can tell I'm wearing any makeup.

Good coverage!
-04.16.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, feels light
I bought this because they don't sell the Philosophy mineral powder I was using at Sephora and because this Mineral Makeup at least has more shades to match my skin tone during the summer. I live in Phoenix, Az and recently my skin went from comb-oily to super oily, so this works fine. It is not caky and I can put as much as I want to cover certain areas. When I touch up after a few hours, my makeup looks fresh. I also have acne prone skin, so this product hasn't caused any breakouts. I give it 4 stars because I really wish they had more colors. I tan super easy during the summer here and the color I bought, still is slightly light, but I fix it with bronzer, some blush and voila! It does the job.

Beautiful Coverage
-04.12.13
Awesome natural looking coverage and it's buildable if you need a lil more help. Only minus is the packaging. I don't like the sponge at all. I unscrew the top and use a foundation brush to apply it!

Applicator Cancels Anything Good About This
-04.11.13
I love Urban Decay, they brought us "The Naked" eye pallettes, how can I not? I HATE this product, solely due to the ridiculousnous of the applicator. There is basically a dense sponge with a "neck" that is inserted into the powder. In theory, the powder travels through the sponge and you pat (or "swipe"?) the sponge onto your face to apply. The reality is that you essentially have to pound the sponge onto your face to transfer the product, that is ONLY if you were able to get the powder to the surface of the sponge to begin with. I too pulled the sponge out of the container and am applying with a brush, however, I'm returning it today. I just don't get it.....

Great finish, bad applicator
-04.05.13
LOVE my skin with this! It's just enough color to cover any unevenness but still give me the look of perfect nude skin. What I don't like is the applicator - it's too big to get in around my nose and eyes well, and you can't easily access the loose product to use a kabuki brush. Still, I'll repurchase this when I run out.

Quick Take: buildable coverage
I liked the coverage, but wasn't too fond of the applicator. It seemed like the product didn't go through the applicator very well and I had to dab it very harshly on my face. I ended up just opening up the bottle every time and dabbing my powder brush to apply it. Wouldn't recommend to anybody because of the sponge.

Very light, you can wear just a bit for even skin time or full for full coverage and doesn't even look like you have makeup on!

-03.01.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free
I love this makeup, it goes on really well with a brush. The sponge applicator is fine for the first uses, but since I have oily skin, it got very clogged and mucked up with oil/makeup. I tried cleaning the included sponge and I bought replacement sponges, but I think a powder or foundation brush work best. Please bring back all of the shades, Sephora! I need my Supernova!

Wonderful Coverage
-01.30.13
Love this product, and I refuse to use any other type of foundation. I can sleep in it with no fear of pimples in the morning. A little goes a long way and I love the fact I only have to order it every 4 months or so!
Cons: the container..I don't use the puff as I have invested in their foundation brush (another excellent product) and I don't like how you can lose all of it if you accidently tip it. Only other con is the price....a little steep!

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
Love the coverage this gives. Use it everytime I don't feel like wearing liquid. Stays all day and doesn't dry my skin out. Hate the applicator, I just open it up and use a brush.

Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free
I love this makeup. Its really light and covers really well. I use UD concealer stick in NSA underneath for the darker blemishes. The only thing i dislike is the applicator. I don't really know how to use it. so i just open it up and use a brush. I have natural light-olive skin, and Dream fits me perfectly.

I like the coverage and the way this makeup feels. The applicator is a little odd, so it takes some getting used to.
