this product does have a good coverage, however it does not tackle blemishes. My skin tone is even, but my dark circles and peek-a-boo pimples still need a concealer on top of it. For the amount I paid for it, I wouldn't buy it again.

Quick Take: perfect coverage
The compact is really big/fat, so it's hard to carry around in my purse. But other than that, I love it. It smells good, and the sponge is soft. The makeup is perfect for my skin tone and it covers really well, without feeling or looking too heavy.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
I love the finish of this powder!!! It's so delicate and unbelievably soft. A nice, fine, light powder. A+++
this powder is the best i've tried (and i've used everything from dior to lancome to clinique). i have kind of "fussy" skin--sometimes dry all over, sometimes oily all over, and prone to blemishes every so often. the korres multivitamin compact powder looks completely natural. it gives believable, sheer coverage no matter what type of day my skin is having--no chalkiness, no shine, and it hasn't made me break out at all. even though the shades are limited, i have been extremely happy with mvp3 (i have fair to light skin). this is a really fantastic product! i'll be buying it again, for sure.
My review is based on the MVP1 with porcelain skin. I really love this powder. It manages to keep my very oily skin matte and flawless looking, It's key to apply it minimally, I was going to use this as a foundation as it was the closest of all the Korres facial products to match my skin tone... but alas, it makes me look yellow. Really a good product though when used lightly, and lasts forever. It also goes on very smoothly, and looks seamless when paired with Korres face primer.
I was searching for a product that evened out my skin tone, yet was light and did not cake. This powder has done all of that. It gives you that no make-up feel but has just enough coverage to hide the imperfections. If you have clear skin and do not like wearing foundation, I highly suggest this product. Wonderful at concealing the shine and giving you a finished looked. It also feels amazing on the skin!
I am very fair and the powder looks completely natural on me. It really stays in place, even when I climb a hill in the heat. It lasts all day and negates shine.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine
I love that it has vitamins and is all natural. Plus, the oil absorbing factor helps those with oily skin (like me) stay shine free for the day!
For a while I've been looking for a powder suitable for longwear and my sensitive skin. This powder gives me sheer coverage to reduce oil, plus it never irritates! With the added vitamins, I can't imagine how this product could get any better. Love, love, love!
Number of times I have had to reapply or use blotting sheets in one day: 0
Number of times I have had to maybe reapply or use blotting sheets in a WEEK (let's face it, not all days are perfect!): 2 (if that!)
Okay, so it might not be the miracle powder, but this is definitely better then most powders I have tried! I actually only got this because I also purchased the Korres Ginger and Vitamin foundation and I wanted a finishing powder that also provided a mattte finish. But I was shocked when I realized 1. how amazing my makeup looked after I set it with this, 2. how I completely stopped getting the mid afternoon shine!, and 3. how it has not irritated or caused more breakouts and how great this is for your skin!
This is definitely a staple in my makeup bag. I would highly recommend this. The fact that it is all natural is a plus! You would expect something like this to separate in the middle of the day (I've had past experiences of makeup separation with other natural foundations) but it really doesn't. I love it. Finally something that does what it claims.
This has got to be the best setting powder I've tried in a long time. That includes BE Mineral Veil, Laura Mercier Pressed Powder, Laura Geller Balance and Brighten, & MUFE HD Finishing powder. There are so many powders out there, it's wonderful to find one that feel so nice, is easy to use and is good for my skin. I find it to be quite portable, which makes sense if you want to take it along for touch-ups. The sponge included is perfect for applying this smooth and silky, luxurious powder. It's translucent so it doesn't interfere with the color of your foundation or you could wear it alone for a light, clean matte finish. A little goes a long way too, so it's an all-around good buy! Enjoy!
I like this compact.. I like knowing that what I out on my face is natural, healthy, and full of vitamins.. not to mention it's non-comedogenic and oil-free. It doesn't smell very great, but that's because it's all natural and doesn't have any extra added unnecessary perfumes. It works well on my combination skin, but it does start to let the oil shine through after a few hours--I usually pat with tissue and reapply when this happens.
It's sheer, which is what I was looking for. The only thing I dont like so much is the lmited number of shades available. I got the darkest color, and it is still a little light compared to my skin (once I blend it, it's ok.. makes my skin look vibrant and awake, but I just wish there was a darker shade) and another review said that the lightest shade wasn't light enough for them. Korres should expand the line!

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine
I am so impressed with this powder! I is so smooth it is almost silky. It leaves my oily skin matte without being cakey or drying. I will definitely by this again.
I really like this powder, it is definitely sheer, but also not cakey. I wanted a new setting powder (rather than mineral veil) for my BE foundation as it is the only foundation that doesn't sting my face but has sweated into heavy, oily creases by mid-day (I'm a waitress, in and out of HOT kitchens). This one mattifies like mineral veil, but has a light, fresh, clean scent, feels like satin going on, and provides a level of shine control that I'd given up hoping for. Also, a little goes a long way.
This powder makes my skin feel soft and is perfect for oil control !!!!!

Great Product, Small Quantity- 06.17.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage
This powder is great! It's finely milled, goes on without looking obvious, and doesn't have any smell that I noticed. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because you don't get very much. (The actual powder part of the compact is about 1/4".)

Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine, light
Great! Light, soft and smooth. Looking forward to completely organic products.
I really love this powder! It has the best shine control of any powder I've used, but it goes on thin, not cakey, and doesn't dry out my skin.
TRUTH; it has almost no coverage. If you're looking for a great powder to control shine over foundation this is your pick, but by itself it is almost completely sheer.
In my case I like a sheer makeup, and really only wear foundation for shine control, so this is the best thing I've come across. That and because of its lightweight texture, and sheer coverage the colors really blend in and cover a wide variety of skin tones. (My mother and I can both get away with the same shade even though I'm porcelin and she's more of a light beige.) Not very pricey for what you're getting either, and I love the way it smells like cinnamon!
