Neutrogena Healthy Skin powder

Picture

It is really hard to review this product because it was such a minimum coverage and i found that it did nothing really for my skin.  It didnt cover up imperfections and i found that it really didnt do anything.. i wont give it a rating because i find that it would be difficult to rate.  It is expensive - about 12$ i think, so i would suggest not to get it, because the coverage is so minimal.  the plus side is that it has spf and antioxidants which is good for your skin.

this product had little to no coverage. i suppose it was natural looking, but it hardly showed up, so i dont know if you can consider that as natural looking makeup. it was not long wearing and was gone from my face by the end of the day. THis poweder was good as a setting powder or a finish powder for after you use makeup. It felt smooth and it showed up a little, but was kind of pricey and not worth the money - $13-14
however, it doesnt break you out xD
2.5/5

Maybelline Dream Matte powder

This powder is similar to the Mineral Power one from Maybelline.  I find this one has a lighter coverage, which i actually like better.  I havent had any problems with this breaking me out, but ive seen some reviews that say that this does break you out.  I feel that it is just a personal skin type thing, because everyone is different.  You really cant tell how a product will be on you until you test it out on yourself.  This powder is good, again not great, but i would recommend this to people who want a light coverage, maybe over concealer.
you can find this powder at CVS, Walmart, Walgreens (drugstores).  I picked this up on sale for about $4, which is a great deal for this powder (:

This pressed powder has really good coverage with a sponge or a brush, but i can't say that i really like it.  It has kind of a gray tone to it which makes my skin look really weird and powdery. It also smells a little strange? If you use a kabuki brush and buff on a little bit of this foundation, it comes out pretty good and natural looking.
I think i would repurchase this because the price is good and it provides good coverage without breaking me out. The only con is that it smells and it can come out looking powdery and cakey if you do not buff on the product and/or put too much on your face.  i'd recommend this for those who dont really need foundation ~ people who have pretty good skin already and just want a nice finish.  for my big pores, it comes out looking weird in some areas so yeah~ i use this powder to set from time to time.

first off, i just want to apologize because i dont know where my picture of this went. ill post one asap!

anyway ~ Ok so i think ive used this product long enough to do a review on it.  <3 simply love it(:
at first i was a bit skeptical as to if it would break me out, if it was too light, etc.  NO, it did not give me any of those problems.  I loved how smooth it went onto my skin and the finish it gives me over my makeup.  It also provides some oil control and my face isnt all greasy at the end of the day (a mixture of this and the primer i use - see Rimmel fix and perfect primer review).  This is a really great product.  I purchased this for $20 at Palama Supermarket (this is really one of the only places that sells korean makeup in Hawaii.  I really like korean makeup because it is a lot more gentle on my skin and I havent had any problems with korean products breaking me out.  Yes, this was a bit expensive but it is an imported product.  I really recommend you try this powder because it gives you some coverage and a nice finish.  This is to be used either alone, or on top of your liquid foundation.  It helped to match my "too dark or yellowey foundation color and make my face actually match the color my my neck lol. it has some shimmer in it but it isnt really visible when you put it on your face. It has a light scent but you will probably only smell it when you put it on your skin - after this the smell goes away. buy it! it is a seriously good product [x
