Since the reviews were so positive, I decided to skip the expensive department store mineral foundations and try this. Be warned this does not provide "light" coverage; it was so cakey that I discovered lines and wrinkles I never knew I had! To top things off, my face looked so oily and shiny (despite my dry skin) that I had to put loose powder on which, of course, made it look all that much worse. In the end, I had to take it all off.

I use this foundation everyday, and have been more satisfied with it than the more expensive stuff like Clinique and Bare Minerals. It matches my skin tone exactly, and makes my skin look perfect. I'm buying this foundation for the rest of my life! :D

This stuff is quick to apply and makes your skin look great!

While another famous and very expensive mineral foundation (you know which one I mean!) left my skin dry and crepe-y, the L'Oreal mineral foundation gives the perfect finish - even though it's a powder, it's non-drying. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's a better product overall than the more expensive alterrnative. The covereage is wonderful, and it's very easy to apply. And here's a tip: you can get more coverage by applying concentrated amounts with a small eyeshadow brush.

This is the first mineral foundation I have used that actually covered like a foundation and stayed put. It is really light weight but gives me even coverage, I use it with a little bit of concealer where I need it and it looks great. I bought this because of its great reviews and I am not disappointed.

This mineral foundation works much better than other brands. I have tried several other (much more expensive) brands and I am much happier with this product. My skin looks clearer and does not become oily or dry. I'll never go back to the others.

I agree completely with those who say that it is as good as or better than the more expensive mineral foundations. I have tried a lot of products because I too am a makeup junkie. I spent so much money on products that didn't work nearly as well as this. I go through a LOT of makeup, and this is as friendly on my budget as it is to my face. It works 10 times better for me than Bare Minerals ever did, and it costs about half as much. It covers REALLY well, and I don't have to use as much, either. It hasn't caused any problems for my problematic skin, either. It does, like other mineral foundations and any loose powder product, make a mess when you put it on, but it comes off of stuff pretty easily, and if you plan ahead it's not really a problem. I highly recommend this product!

This makeup is great- you don't need very much at all to get great coverage. I actually bought it on a day when I was actually pretty sick and looked like a zombie. After an application of the makeup you would never know that I had just spent the day at the hospital! Also L'Oreal has the mineral concealer powder that is really great for under-eye dark circles.

I worked in the cosmetic industry for many years and tried every mineral foundation out there. None compare to this product in quality and price. It is not too "luminous" like some other mineral foundations. It is soft, creamy, and looks completely natural. The top selling mineral makeup brand (you all know this one from the infomercials) made my face itch terribly and I have never had any sensitivity to any cosmetics before. It was also so "luminous" that it made my normal size pores look bigger!
