Good product, but it's more of a "setting powder" than a "foundation".
I got this Mineral foundation in “fair” and “light”… Before I continue, I think that it’s important to mention that if you are a big fan of “e.l.f. Cosmetics” and you are using mainly their products, in order to match this foundation with their HD Concealer (in the Studio line), you need to “reverse the colors” when it comes to “fair” and “light”. That means that if y...read moreou are “fair” in foundation, you need a “light” concealer and vice versa. This is something that “e.l.f.” will hopefully coordinate better in the future. With that being said, I really like the texture of these foundations – it’s basically a very finely milled powder with no shimmer in it whatsoever. The finish is matte but it’s not a flat matte, there is a bit of dimension or maybe a touch of satin in the finish, so you won’t look too matte if you’re not using a highlighter. These remind me a lot of “e.l.f.”’s Mineral Boosters, which I love a lot. And Boosters is what I will actually stick to from now on, because I found that both of these shades really don’t give you any more coverage than a regular setting powder. I will use these up exactly for that – to set my makeup, but when I run out of them – Sheer Mineral Booster all the way. If you are like me and you are looking for a bit of coverage, but want it to look natural – go with the Boosters. Even the “shimmer” one is amazing, because the shimmer is almost unnoticeable and it’s a bit lighter than the “sheer”. Anyway, the wear time of these powders, on my combination skin is about 4-5 hours. That means that they will keep me almost shine-free fro about that time, and after that I’ll have to retouch if I want to get rid of the shine. To summarize, this is a good product, but I wouldn’t call it “foundation” – I’d just call it “setting powder”. You can definitely build it to get a bit more coverage but it will look cakey. It isn’t silkly and buildable like an HD powder would be – just finely milled mineral powder with good setting properties.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not bad
Doesn't give FULL coverage but that is okay because I don't really use a lot of foundation. If you want light to medium coverage, this is for youThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful
