What it is:A silky, lightweight, shine-reducing
pressed powder.What it is formulated to do:Smooth and
feather light, this pressed powder glides easily over
bare skin or foundation, leaving a natural yet flawless
appearance. The unique formulation includes finely
milled talc and corn starch, for superb shine reduction,
and Nylon 12, for excellent adherence and long wear.
Plus it contains fruit and Jojoba oils, which softens
skin by preventing essential cellular water loss.What
else you need to know:The "R" and the
"D" in the shade name reflects Sephora's
French background. The "R" stands for Rosee
(pink) and is for those with cool undertones. The
"D" stands for Doree (gold) and is for those
with warm or yellow undertones.
I was looking for a matte powder that really works without being too heavy. I'm on my second compact and I plan to continue purchasing this product. I have acne prone, oily skin (age 45) and so far it is the best product I can use. I still have to reapply throughout the day but not as often. I cannot use mineral makeup as it makes me break out.

Extremely light, goes on so smooth and clean- 10.28.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
Most powders are so heavy, you can almost feel the layer of make up you are wearing, I was amazed and so happy with this powder. I never tried Sephora brand before, was I missing out!
Goes on smooth, you can't tell its there because its so light, yet it provides beyond perfect coverage

It was okay until a few days later.- 10.28.09
Quick Take: reduces shine, created acne, heavy
Well at the beginning when I first started using this, it was a good product until later on as I kept using it, it started creating acne and blocking my pores. I ended up returning it.

Works Great!!- 10.27.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I'm a black woman. I'm not really a make-up wearer, but decided to try. I use philosophy skin products and wanted to "kick it up a notch". I love this powder. I use warm mocha, it goes on smooth and even. It matches my skin tone exactly and covers the little imperfections perfectly. I do have to reapply during the day, but that's fine. I do wish that it would keep the shine away a little longer.

Decent product- 10.24.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I have used this product for about a year now. It goes on easily and can be applied with a makeup sponge for moderate coverage or with a powder brush for more sheer coverage.
I like the finish and that I was able to find a good shade for my skin which is sometimes a challenge. But I have to agree with other reviewers who've said that shine comes through a lot sooner than I'd like. I have combination skin and my chin and nose are shiny within 2 hours of when I apply this.
I think I would absolutely love this product if I had more balanced skin because I love everything else about it.

Above average- 10.20.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
So I really like this powder. It gives a good smooth even finish. It does exactly what the description says but I only gave it 4 stars because I wish it lasted a little longer. I have combination/normal skin and notice shine quicker than I'd like to wearing powder.

Does nothing- 10.20.09
Quick Take: pointless
This is like putting absolutely nothing on your skin. Reduce shine? - no. The shade/color? - nothing. I've never returned anything to Sephora but I'm going to see about returning this.

Matifying Compact Powder- 10.18.09
Quick Take: oil-absorbing
This compact powder is just normal it doesn't last as long as i wished it did maybe it is just my skin. But it's portable and nice for a natural look.

Meh.- 10.08.09
It's okay. I'm not blown away, not entirely un-impressed. It's done its job as far as a basic powder goes, but doesn't really give that stellar of coverage. I bought it as a traveler, because I usually use loose powder. I won't be buying another one, but I'll keep it around as a purse powder.

I'm a little disappointed with this. I got it because my foundation has a shine and needs a powder. Since it says shine-reducing in the description I bought it. It does take a little bit of the shine away but not enough.

Works wonderful, great coverage- 09.30.09
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine
I love this powder. It provides great coverage, the only thing is that I ordered it on line and the shade was a little bit dark, but next time I'll just get a lighter shade. I loved the smell. Will definitely keep using it. I do wish it came with am applicator!
I bought this and didn't even realize there was no mirror and no makeup applicator included! Those are usually crucial parts of any compact I buy so I was pretty disappointed. I'm still using it cos I'd hate to waste it, it does an OK job of controlling the oil on my face.
