Mineral Fusion Pressed Powder Foundation - Matte Finish Face Powder for Medium Skin with Yellow Undertones - Age Defying Natural Makeup - Talc Free, Vegan, Hypoallergenic (Warm 2)EWG Verified

love coverage, product, quality, but hard to determine true color

So I saw the Mineral Fusion line on clearance at Publix and on decided to try it the liquid foundation, after having just purchsed the Nars line the week before. I didn't expect much seeing it sold in a grocery store. Howver i was curious seeing so many dark shades available. Needless to say it was a PERFECT match, looks like pure skin...as if you're not wearing *any* makeup. I don't know if it's the formula, the perfect color match, the consistency or what; but I've never had a makeup blends to look like airbrushed skin with very little to no effort.An "eye dropper" sized dab goes a very long way. It was also perfect as an under eye concealer without needing to use something separate in a lighter shade. creases and lines disappear under this thing. Finally no unnatural glowing Zorro raccoon eyes under my makeup.Next day I ordered the pressed powder in the same color (Cappuccino) and it gives a nice finish, although i seem to prefer using the liquid foundation alone for a most natural appearance. The powder is a perfect match but dulled the foundation. After 10 hours, although I had my usual shine, due to oily skin, it wasnt the type of shine that required a "touch up" or pat down with more powder. It was more like an airbrushed dewey glow look, rather than an oily, greasy, "Fashion-Fair-sliding-off-and-turning-colors" type look.My only concern right now is the fact that Amazon is carrying their product at such a steep markdown and it was also on clearance at the grocery store where I bought it. I saw that Mineral Fusion was acquired by a company called Seaweed. So I'm wondering about its future availability.

I've been wanting to try out this powder foundation for a while, so I finally purchased it here on Amazon as it was cheaper and I didn't know how I would feel about it. I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin - so I'm kind of particular about what I put on my face, ha. I also don't like wearing liquid foundation or heavy makeup, so I've been trying different powders. Anyway, I bought this in the shade Olive 1. I'm pretty fair-skinned, but I have a difficult sort of undertone. I used to tan very easily and deeply when I was younger, but now I try to stay out of the sun to prevent getting skin cancer, thus I'm pasty white. haha. Anyway, because of my struggles with foundation matching and this slightly green tinge to my skin, it has lead me to believe I have an olive undertone. However, sadly, I still have not found a perfect match. Sigh. I guess that's just the way it is for some of us.This shade is just slightly too dark for me, unfortunately. I would say half a shade to one shade too dark for my complexion. I might be able to work it during the Summer, but definitely not going into Winter. I have to say that was pretty disappointing as even though I bought it cheaper here, it's still an expensive powder foundation. And I really do think that it is a nice powder that offers decent light to medium coverage. As with all powders (or foundation in general) you have to be careful not to apply too much as it can become a little cakey. So I always go by the adage "less is more". I have attached a photo so you can see what the powder looks like on a bit of acne and acne scarring that I have. I'm not wearing concealer and the photo is unedited and unfiltered. It doesn't completely cover my scarring, but it does a good job at evening out my skin tone and masking the redness. I also don't think it made my acne spots look any worse than they already do, ha. It doesn't seem to emphasize dryness, but I do make sure to moisturize beforehand. It also didn't make me break out or irritate my skin. But everyone's skin is different, so what's okay for me might not be okay for you. Just make sure to check the ingredients. There's no added fragrance in this powder, HOWEVER, it does have a scent. I assume it's the smell of the ingredients. It's very mild and I personally find it pleasant. I can't smell it when it's on my face, only in the compact. But I thought I would mention it anyway. The other thing I want to mention is that when you put your brush in the compact it does have quite a bit of powdery kick-up, so be careful.The photos are of me, in natural light by a window, wearing the foundation. I don't think you can really tell that it's a bit too dark, though, either because of the camera or lighting or both. The other photo is a comparison between the Mineral Fusion foundation in Olive 1 (left) and (on the right) The All Natural Face Pressed Powder foundation in Olive Warm (their second lightest olive shade, which is closer to my actual skin tone, but can look a bit pasty because of the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide).Hope this was helpful to someone!

Love this product. The powdered make up really covers nicely and is very light on the skin.

I have used this foundation for 6 years now. Have no switched which is very very unusual. It’s flawless however, doesn’t make me break out. Perfect fit for my skin type (combo). The only thing I wish is it had some sort of sunscreen protection but it’s fine that it doesn’t as I layer sunscreens under it.

I bought Warm 2, but the color was a little darker/orangier than expected so I also bought Warm 1, which was way too pale. I have to use both to get the color I want, and I'm surprised that they don't offer a color in-between the two. Also, after only a week of owning each of them, the latch that holds the lid broke off. It's extremely annoying because I can't properly close the product. The plastic on the back also continues to crumble after the latch already broke, so I'm certain this is a flaw in their packaging. The powder itself is ok and offers decent coverage, but I don't think I will continue purchasing this product.Edit: I purchased this product for a third time because I needed a face powder with clean ingredients for pregnancy. I went with Neutral 2 and the color was a much better fit. The latch also did not break on this one as it did with the previous two that I bought. I'm much happier with the purchase this time around and glad that this brand uses clean ingredients.

I have a lot of foundations! Mainly higher end. Iv used bare minerals for years and often return to it as a staple that always looks good. I’v used the pur powder foundation, Mac powder foundation and lily lolo. This foundation beat them all! I couldn’t believe how velvety it looks and feels on the skin. I use a hydrating SPF under it and let it dry on the skin 5/10 mins. Applying this is SO easy, no buffing in for 10 mins. You kind of gently dust it on and it looks amazing. It didn’t cling to pores like the pur and sometimes BM did. Iv bought 2 more of these so I never run out. Iv got normal to dry skin and once in awhile I have a blemish but at 41 I have pretty good skin. Also it melts into the skin and doesn’t look powdery at all. Touch up later in the day is super easy with a couple swipes.
