I am 45 years old and I was afraid to use a powder foundation (wrinkles, dry skin). I use it daily!!! I recommend a good skin care, a good hydrating cream before and a mist (I use MAC Fix +) after ;-) my skin is light (MAC NW 16) but the colour "Medium" is perfect for me!

One of the best powder foundations on the market. The coverage can be light to full depending on how it's applied. It's got a lovely finish and looks beautiful all day. I've found it looks better an hour or so after applying it and it lasts for hours. I'm no longer a young woman. Powder foundations are typically quicker and easier to apply but it's harder finding a good powder that works for aging skin. I apply with a powder brush, not a cosmetic puff or sponge though those work well. Using a brush gives me lighter coverage. It's safe for sensitive skin. The ingredients are wonderful but exposure to light and air will compromise their effectiveness over time. The foundation itself will continue providing excellent coverage. I'm fair-skinned and chose the lightest shade, FAIR. This shade is a bit too light and I've ordered the LIGHT shade as well. I'm disappointed the shade range isn't more extensive.

I was surprised with this one. I completely underestimated this product. It was a lazy day. I had plans to head out but was so lazy to apply makeup. I was actually breaking out. I still needed to make myself look presentable. This powder started off sheer. But it's very buildable. I didn't even need a concealer. With powder foundations though, you do need to prep your skin properly, making sure you're well moisturized. I'm gona stock up on these for my lazy days. The coverage is really good.

Powder strongly emphasizes all the flaws of problem skin, instead of masking them.
