Quick Take: reduces shine, natural

Serendipity I came across this mineral pressed powder. No parabens, sulfites, toxic chemicals. I love the case which protects the compact in case of an impact.

Excellent powder - 03.07.10
Quick Take: reduces shine

Great finish and coverage. I often wear it alone to cover redness without feeling caked in make up. I love the natural ingredients.

I use the Secret Agent tinted moisturizer in VEIL then use this poweder in FAIR to set it. The powder is very sheer and light. It does not leave smile lines like some powders&foundations do which is great!

Not my favorite... - 03.03.10
I am not overly impressed with this powder. I went to Sephora to try to find a powder foundation that would cover small flaws but not clog pores and that would be gentle for my sensitive skin. I was using Bare Essentials but it was causing me to break out because they changed their formula. This foundation doesn't cover flaws at all and also caused breakouts for me. I wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully I can find something soon!

AMAZING!! - 02.27.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine

In the mid afternoon, my face starts to get oily. I just apply this product lightly with a brush and my face returns to a beautiful matte finish, as though I had just applied my makeup. It doesn't sit on top of the skin, but feels silky and smooth. Matches my extremely fair complexion perfectly!

favorite powder of all time - 02.26.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine, natural -ooking

I love this stuff. I used this over my bareminerals matte in Fairly Light instead of using their Mineral Veil finishing powder. this provides a little more coverage than the Mineral Veil, while still looking very natural. also the color is great for my light skin with yellow undertones. Other Tarte products such as the concealer in bisque and the Foundation in warm bisque have been too orangey for me. I highly recommend the Provocateur.

I have some redness with small bumps on certain spots on my face and this covers over 90 percent of that. Good product for the price. Will continue using.

Provocataeur Mineral Pressed Powder - 02.19.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine

This is a very nice powder, it covers well and last a fairly long time. I wear it at work for 8 hours and it lasts all that time. I do get a little oily though, so after the 8 hours i usually reapply a little bit. I did accidentally buy a shade too dark, but I'll just have to use it in the summer when my complexion is a bit darker.

Not for me - 02.17.10
I'm not sure if it's that my skin has too much red/pink undertones or that my t-zone is too oily but I couldn't get this to set just right. I tried with a kabuki, puff, even a sponge and moisturizer-just not for me I guess. I was really hopeful because I do like how Tarte's items are more natural.

Shine-controlling, sheer to medium coverage - 02.10.10
Quick Take: reduces shine, natural finish

Tarte's powder is excellent at controlling shine. I tend to get oily on my t-zone throughout the day, but with Tarte I can apply the powder in the morning and be good to go until the end of the work day! The coverage is sheer to medium and doesn't look cakey at all. I find it gives my skin an airbrushed look that somehow still looks natural. Very pleased.

This foundation is nice, the coverage is so-so but it feels great on and doesnt clog up your pores and cause breakouts like some other foundations can.

i can say that it didn't cake up or dry my skin out, but it didn't cover evenly at all. Disappointing.

Lovely powder - 02.04.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine

I have very fair skin with some redness issues, and have very sensitive skin. This shade is fair enough for my skin, the coverage is perfect, and the powder does not cause any irritation. It has an ability to cover your flaws and give you a lightly polished look without making you look overdone.
