Good Coverage
This provides really nice coverage. It does have a bit of a baby powder smell, but I can live with that. I did find it to be a bit messy. Something about the packaging makes it a bit more difficult to control. You also can't wash the puff that comes with it b/c it will break apart.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Not bad...but not a repurchase.
I purchased this product a few months ago and have since had plenty of time to experiment with it. I have applied it both with the puff that comes with the product, as well as with a makeup brush, and have found that I prefer a makeup brush. I am simply more accustomed to makeup brushes, and the puff seemed pretty unhygienic to me. It bothers me that the lid does not screw on: it’s more of a pre...read moress-on lid, and I am very careful when traveling with this product because I feel as though the lid could slide right off at any moment. So packaging receives a solid thumbs down for me. The powder itself has it’s pros and cons. I hate the smell. Very baby powder-esque, mixed with some scent that reminds me of my grandmother. Not my jam. However, I only notice the scent upon initial application. The powder is incredibly light and fine-very soft, and lovely feeling on the skin. It’s pretty translucent, and is nearly impossible to cake. So I absolutely LOVE the formula. I have found that I can use this powder over just about anything-from liquid foundation to powder foundation, and even over a finished face complete with blush and contouring-and the results are the same. It’s certainly no miracle setting powder-my face is an oil factory, and I still end up shiny at the end of the day when I use this product. However, I do feel that it keeps my makeup in place, and prevents fading considerably. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good drugstore setting powder because the price is great, the amount of product you receive is insane, and it’s pretty much impossible to cake. A great buy with a little room for improvement.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

A beloved standby
Okay, NOW we're easy breezy and beautiful. Another one of those dependable standbys, though I give this more points than most. Cover Girl knows I'm an albino and does not try to force me fake tan with their products. It's matte enough to combat shine but still lets me glow. You can use as little or as much as you want to adjust coverage. The enclosed puff doesn't get nasty before you're done with the powder. It lasts forever and day. (product amount wise.) It smells like high school.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
