More of a finishing powder than foundation...However, it works as nice a finishing powder over the CC+ cream or for mid day touch ups....multi-benefit pressed powder...IT cosmetics is always free of parabens and talc for their eyeshadows, which is a big plus for why I like and choose their products.

many others i have tried are more powdery and didn't give off the shine i was looking for but this one is everything i could ever want. it's similar to the rare beauty powder highlight but it doesn't beak as easily. my only con may be the price... other than that 10/10...I purchased it after one of my favourite youtubers recommended it. The powder is light and gives a wet look rather than a sparkly look.

Best powder foundation!!...Absolutely amazing powder foundation. Has a bit more coverage than a regular powder and has a touch of a cream base to it in my opinion. ...This is a pretty good foundation as far as powders go; not full coverage but definitely covers redness and unevenness, it is surprisingly hydrating and leaves a nice finish on the skin (kind of glowy, not super matte).
