What it does: This foundation provides a healthy, sheer to full coverage matte finish with oil-absorbing microspheres and moisturizing benefits. Its finish is never cakey or drying to the skin. This clinically tested product does not contain gluten, mineral oil, or talc. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes- Petrochemicals- Phthalates- GMOs- Triclosan What else you need to know: The Cover FX shade system is easier to follow and is inclusive of all skintones.

Find your undertone (underlying skin tone): P = Pink, N = Neutral (equal parts pink and golden), G = Golden. The lower the number, the lighter the shade. Start with the N series if you're not sure what your undertone is. If the shade looks too Pink, find your shade in the Golden undertones. If the shade looks too Yellow, find your shade in the Pink undertones.

Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
I am in love with this powder, I got matched at sephora, it looks so flawless and feels light on my face. I use to use bare minerals but my mid day my face looked oily and just blah. Since I have used this my face looks and feels so smooth. It doesn't even look like i have anything on :)

Review 3 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Perfect over sunscreen!
-05.20.13
Quick Take: oil-free
Nice, dry coverage for oily, break it prone skin.
The wide range of colors available is amazing! However, I would strongly recommend you apply with a kabuki brush, not a sponge. It will go on too cakey with just a sponge.

Review 5 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Step Up From BareMinerals
-05.10.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I used Bare Minerals in Medium Deep for nearly five years. I loved the coverage and the product generally. I HATED the mess, the inconvenient travel, etc. So I tried this, it's been about two weeks and I really like it. I wish it handled shine a little better but overall I like it.

-05.08.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
Great for both everyday use and for layering if you need something a little heavier. I wanted something to wear during the day where you can't really tell you're wearing make up- just something to get rid of the redness and smooth my complexion. It works really well! I have also always had a really hard time finding something that matched my skin tone, and this is really perfect! My face can get kind of oily after a while, but I think that's more of a personal issue than one with the foundation? Either way, benefits far outweigh any negatives.

Review 7 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
LOVE!!
-05.07.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I use N40 (color matched at store) I LOVE this pressed powder because it actually covers pimples! It does not make my face look orange at all! I like to use the cover fx foundation and then use this powder on top for the best coverage. Even without using foundation underneath, this pressed foundation still covers really well and leaves my skin looking smooth and flawless!

Review 8 for Pressed Mineral Foundation

Disappointed
-05.05.13
I have acne prone skin that gets oily. It didn't irritate my skin much was was a plus but I was not very satisified. It is definitely buildable but for some reason it just wouldn't go on my face properly. It's as if there was a layer between my skin and the powder and it would just slide around and form awkward buildup lines. It also didn't help that I believe it was a shade too light from what the lady believed worked for me. Sadly had to return it.

Review 9 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
doesn't break me out , a big plus!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
i have very reactive sensitive skin. i do not have acne if my skin doesn't react with anything. but anything with SPF, Bismuth Oxychloride with break me out within the day upon application. That's how reactive my skin is. This is great on me. Been wearing it a month and no breakout. It can be a little cakey if overdone so build it enough to have an even complexion with matte finish. At the end of the day, i have this nice glow sheen. I cannot explain but in the afternoon when i check it out, my skin would look like natural skin with a smooth sheen. very nice. removed a star because of the not able to build as much if you like more coverage. but hey, this is the only powder foundation that is working on my skin, who is to complain. btw, im asian, light to medium skin with yellow undertone and powder oxidizes on me. the g20 is the perfect match.

Review 10 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
i am in love with this powder foundation
-05.04.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I have tried MAC studio fix (NC40) and then switched to MUFE duo-matt (203) then to their new line Pro-finish and was not able to find the correct shade so i was open for suggestions. The nice man at Sephora suggested CoverFix in N40 which i think its a tad too dark but its good for the summer since it makes it look like i was sun kissed. I absolutely love this product, it is light, oil free so doesn't make me brake out , I do have to touch up after 6-8 hours but it is amazing. Feels smooth and silky on the skin.

Good Product
-04.30.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
This product is great for keeping the shine off of your skin. The only thing I wasn't impressed with is the color selections. When you are dealing with various brown complexions, you need to have a vast selection. This closest selection for me was still a little too dark, but it does the trick.

Review 15 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Nice coverage
-04.28.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I switched to the pressed foundation after using the cream type for 3 months. I was having trouble with the cream seeming heavy and not lasting throughout the day even with a primer. The staff at Sephora suggested I try the powder type in the same shade. I have been extremely happy with the coverage and lasting effect this product offers. It goes on easily and covers darker spots and uneven coloring around my eyes. I use a brush which really helps it go on evenly and I use less at a time. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for good coverage without the heavy feel.

Review 16 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Amazing! Natural finish, little goes a long way
-04.27.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, little goes a long way
Another great product, and their special tool to match your skin tones works great. Just a light touch of this powder makes my makeup stay in place all day. I love the natural ingredients. My skin has been very dry lately and because I can use such a small amount of this powder to set my makeup, it doesn't dry my skin out even more. It also provides nice coverage if you build it a little. Love it!!

Review 17 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Couldn't be happier
-04.27.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
First time buyer. I was so nervous switching make-up for my fussy skin. I am a 31 yr old red head with fair skin. I also have acne prone skin with flare ups that leave red blotchy spots all over that take months to go away completely. I use a tinted moisturizer underneath this make-up and have been extremely impressed. It covers everything it needs it to without feeling too thick and cakey. It definitely has buildable coverage for those days I need a little more help. I have always used a loose powder foundation but enjoy the pressed powder just as well. I have received so many compliments on how smooth and natural my face looks. It lasts longer in the day than my last make-up and never feels greasy or too dry. It's just perfect and I couldn't be happier.

Review 20 for Pressed Mineral Foundation
Love this powder
-04.26.13
Quick Take: natural looking, builable coverage
This powder is great. It gives me medium to full coverage while looking pretty darn natural.
I have very oily skin, so I do need to use a finishing powder to touch up every few hours, but that's a vast improvement for me.
The color matches well and stays true all day.
Does not cause breakouts, which my skin is prone to anyway. In fact, my skin has cleared up while using this powder. Win win!
