    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.

    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.
