"This pressed powder is absolutely fantastic - it's not quite makeup, so it doesn't provide coverage, but it really evens out your skin tone (redness, acne, etc.) and it's just enough powder to keep you from getting greasy later in the day. It wears nicely all day long but if you need to, you can reapply more later in the day and it never looks like you have a lot of thick powder on. In fact, it absolutely does not look like you're wearing makeup at all, ever - not even a translucent powder - so you get all the benefits of makeup without looking like you're wearing any! It makes you look like a 'natural beauty'. I actually get hit on a lot more when I use this than I do when I'm wearing powder makeup.
Goes on soft, easy, and FAST, pretty much perfect in every possible way! I'm finding myself using this as my staple product and saving the makeup for nights out when I really need to cover the dark circles under my eyes. I've been using it winter through summer, so it does work on all my skin tones (i.e. really pale to really tan). It's great stuff - I hope Origins sells it forever because I plan on using it for life!!
For those who are latex sensitive, the sponge that comes with the product IS latex, so you'll need to use either a brush (which is what I use) or your own latex-free sponge."
