CoverGirl Simply Powder Foundation Creamy Natural(N) 520, 0.41 Ounce Compact

Not what i expected at all.

I haven't used this product since I was in my teens or early twenties and I'm 38 now. I love the convenience and speed of a full coverage powder foundation and I had been using Bare Minerals pressed mineral powder foundation but the price went up, plus, I need more than one color since my face skin tone varies due to my use of self tanner. Saw the good reviews on this and knew I wasn't out much money if it didn't work well. But WOW! I'm not paying for Bare Minerals anymore when this gives me such great coverage (that lasts all day on my OILY face!) for literally 1/4 the price! I use a damp beauty blender- I soak it, squeeze it out really well, then spray a very fine mist of setting spray on the blender and then use that to apply the powder foundation. No concealer to hide my red cheeks and nose or blemishes! And it actually stays on the tip of my nose all day, when Bare Minerals (and every other liquid or powder foundation I've tried) always slides off in less than half a day. HUGE money-saver and fantastic product!

First off, for the people complaining that the compact comes backwards in the packaging- it's super easy to take the 2 parts of the compact apart and then reattach it the correct way!I prefer natural / more lightweight looking makeup that doesn't take much time so this powder/foundation is my favorite. It's non fussy + great for touchups on the go and really makes a difference evening out my skintone and covering up redness + mattifying oily areas. I've always used Sephora's Matte Perfection Powder Foundation in the past until I tried this one out. Since then I've fully used my first 2 and just bought my 3rd one. I think it's much better than Sephoras and is literally 1/5 of the price! Another plus, I take this powder compact with me everywhere in my bag and it's held strong, the Sephora powder foundation always cracked and broke up after a while which was annoying.

This is a great cream to powder foundation I love it I don't wear makeup a whole whole lot but I do wear it I love it it makes my face feel soft It's not a wet feeling It goes on smooth I love it What can I say I will continue to buy this product and I will always use it when I wear a makeup I haven't been able to I have not been able to find a nice cream to powder foundation based since I haven't been able to wear it since Avon did away with the one I normally use I love this one and I will continue to use it. This is great I love it I love the whatever it's made out of they have the right color for me and I hope they continue to keep making it forever and ever I will continue to use it It's fantastic Thank you so much

The powder foundation I normally use is $35 a pop. I use one summer shade and one winter shade that are vastly different and this is my go to during those in between stages where I am too dark for one and too light for the other and my skin color keeps changing while the summer progresses. These are inexpensive enough that I can keep a few different colors on hand to match my summer tan until the darkest one in my regular brand looks right again. I discovered this while on vacation when there was no Sephora nearby and only a drug store. Always buy here on Amazon because drug stores charge twice what they do here, but even at drug store prices this is a steal. I've tried many others over the years and this is the one i keep coming back to. It has the most coverage, which is buildable without being chalky looking. Doesn't cake up during touch ups and stays put even in the worst humidity. If you're looking for an inexpensive great foundation/setting powder at least give this one a try. At this price point what do you have to lose?

I used to wear expensive department store foundations and powder. No doubt, some of them look light and beautiful, and you can’t find this kind of smoothness in a ‘cheap’ brand —BUT...this powder is really smooth and light, and honestly- if you get the right color, you can wear this easily without foundation and look great!Seems to smooth out the skin tone, and looks natural. I know most women don’t wear powder anymore, but (depending on your skin-type) this one looks and feels light, and stays on for at least 5 hours! Perfect on a hot day, if you perspire, and don’t want your makeup to run. I wore it with foundation at an outdoor event (8 hrs) and never had to re-apply!
