Beautiful finish
I was worried that the loose powder mineral foundation would be too drying for my 67 year old skin. It turns out it is not only NOT drying, but my skin actually has improved in evenness of tone since I started using it. I wake up to perfect skin in the morning. I’m very happy with it.

Price is out of control
I used to pay $35 for multiple months' worth. Now it's just one. Will have to find an alternative.

Hi Laurie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we completely understand your concern about the pricing changes. We know how important it is for our loyal customers to feel confident about the value they're getting from their favorite products, especially when they've been using them for an extended period.

We truly appreciate that you've been a longtime user of our ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation, and we're sorry to hear that the current pricing has made it difficult for you to continue with the product you've relied on. Please know that if this unit is only providing one month's worth of product, it is a sign you are using too much product. Pairing with a primer and concealer to boost coverage will help you get more use of the product.

Your feedback about pricing is valuable to us, and we want you to know that it will be shared with the appropriate team for review. We understand that cost is an important factor in your purchasing decisions, and we don't take your loyalty over the years lightly.

If you'd like to explore any options, our Customer Service Team is available at 1-844-383-3463 Monday - Saturday: 9 AM - 11 PM ET, or via Live Chat by clicking the "Live Chat" link on the bottom right-hand corner of our webpage (Monday - Friday 9 am - 11 pm ET).

I have used this foundation for years and absolutely love it! I love how it stays on all day and gives me a natural look without it looking like I'm wearing foundation. 10/10 recommend.
