Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Makeup Foundation, Lightweight Face Makeup, Sheer to Medium Buildable Coverage, Sensitive Skin Foundation with Vitamins A, C, & E, Natural Ivory 20, .19 oz

This is my go to affordable, drugstore face powder! I’ve been using this product for over 10 years and it doesn’t disappoint. Application is easy to apply and it provides medium to full coverage all day long. I pair this with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint Foundation and it gives my skin a glowy, hydrating look/texture and lasts all day without me having to reapply. Great quality product at an affordable price point. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Product is fine, but it didn’t come with the applicator brush. I ordered two and neither one had the applicator brush. Color match is perfect, great value and coverage. Been using this for years.

I was a Bare Minerals lady for years before discovering the drug store brands were doing similar things. I've always been grossed out by skin-colored liquids, so most foundations have been out for me. Pressed powder isn't gross to me, but doesn't seem to work that well if that's the only foundation you're using, so I've tried a bunch of those and used a knife to scrape it into a loose powder. It's a lot of hassle and many of them don't work that well anyway. I've tried pretty much all the drug store loose powder foundations I could find (Physician's Formula, CoverGirl, Maybelline, L'Oreal, etc.). None of them are as good as this Neutrogena stuff. It doesn't smell bad, it's nice and sheer if you only apply a little but can be built for a bit more coverage, and you get a nice amount of it for the money. I alternate between two different colors depending upon the season, and I've found there's quite a bit of leeway before either of them looks too light or too dark. It's never too pink or too yellow and never look unnatural. It would be nice if it could provide a tiny bit more coverage, but I don't think that's the intention of this product. I think most people are cool with using a little liquid concealer or a base foundation instead (again, I'm in the minority for hating that stuff). All in all, I kind of wished I had just stuck with this rather than trying to find better elsewhere. Would have saved me a lot of time and money. I think if you have super warm or super cool undertones and need something really specific, this might not work as well for you, but otherwise, I'm not sure there's anything better.

I ordered one in 20 natural ivory. I was accidentally sent a two pack that was shrink wrapped. I am donating the extra one to someone. Mine were sealed and in good condition. The outer silver sticker is easy to remove with nail clippers. I peeled the sifter plastic disk and taped that to the inside lid. There is a round tray for a brush or sponge but no closure to rotate and stop the poder from dispensing in that tray. It has a twist open cap. The cap doesn't stay attached and flip open, so it can roll off and get lost. There are preset holes drilled. The printing is upside down, meaning, the product top is inverted. So when you have the main side facing up the powder is leaking down below. If you reverse it like a coun, the ingredients sticker is showing. I feel that is a design flaw. If you remove that half circle applique, you have a plain unbranded compact. The branding is on the bottom. It's weird. That being said, I swatched the powder on top of a NYX Bare with me serum concealer in bisque, that is fluid - on my hand. I have about 7 Neutrogena powders in my kit. I am not that picky and will use this to set the neutrogena spf under eye concealer silver sticks I bought. It's Unscented, and non sparkly, but has micro fine iridescence and no glitter, meaning it can be more radiant if not buffed out. It's got very subtle light reflecting properties. It appears too light on my hand which is more tanned than my face, but sheers out to an undetectable veil. I think it's forgiving. You can blend or use two shades to achieve subtle contour. I'm going to cancel the subscribe and save because now I need to add a replacement flocked round. Neutrogena doesn't sell their own brushes. It's a basic compact with no mirror and I am not repurchasing. It's a twist off powder pot. It's refillable by removing the sifting tray. It's not compact and space saving because it's in a wide double wall plastic with an acrylic clear end cap. That makes it more durable in drop tests. It's smaller in circumference than prior powders, about the size of a plum or nectarine, in the palm of your hand. I prefer pressed powder compact with an applicator and mirror for touch ups anywhere. Loose powers for me are messy and require a separate mirror. Neutrogena doesn't make an eyeshadow palette with a mirror. So this brand is more of a companion than an actual kit. I have over 30 powders. I have not tested this for flashback or wearability, or allergens. I intent to use it in the TZone. It's gender neutral. I rated 4 stars because it's fine. The photos don't show the product details well. It needs a proper video demonstration. I'm going to cancel the s&save. shade 20 is like a bisque or not fair ultra white, but not yellow. It's neutral beige. It's light. The powder is smooth. It's travel friendly in that it's not a magnetic closure that can pop open. But I will keep this at home. I will add images later.

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Lightweight Loose Powder Foundation in the shade Nude 40 offers a refreshing approach to everyday makeup. The powder’s formula is remarkably lightweight, which makes it ideal for those who prefer a natural look without the heavy feeling of traditional foundations. One of the standout features is its buildable coverage. I found it easy to achieve a sheer finish for a casual day, but it also layers beautifully to provide medium coverage when more is needed. This flexibility is a huge plus for varying needs throughout the day. The inclusion of vitamins A, C, and E is a notable benefit. These vitamins contribute to the foundation’s skincare aspects, aiming to improve the skin’s texture and appearance over time. The added skin tone enhancer and redness reducer work well to create a more even complexion, especially for those with mild redness issues. The shade Nude 40 is a versatile option for medium skin tones, though it might not suit everyone perfectly. It’s worth testing to see if it blends seamlessly with your skin. The .19 oz size is quite compact, making it convenient for travel or on-the-go touch-ups, but it may not last as long if you use it daily. Overall, Neutrogena’s Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation is a solid choice for a lightweight, buildable foundation with additional skincare benefits. It offers good coverage while maintaining a natural look, making it a worthy addition to any beauty routine.

The best in foundation hands down! Smooth application and light coverage without the heaviness of other foundations. Had a bit of difficulty in figuring out how to open and actually get to the product but was easy after I watched a feed video. This will be my regular routine product!

Love it great foundation

I am older and need to try different products to avoid the cakey end that comes with liquid foundation. Used with a nice Primer and good application brush. Looks pretty good, just not great. I am getting that orange color though I am purchasing the lightest color. Reminds me of someone I prefer not to think about. It has helped me in that I believe I'm on the right track, just need to find something a little lighter. Likely be great on someone who isn't so ivory.
