Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Foundation, Nude 40, .19 oz

Have been using this for years and have bought about 40 times. Good coverage, but light and breathable. I have sensitive skin and so it doesn’t introduce any oil to my skin and wears really well so it looks natural. I work in a hot environment and so this is perfect. I use 2 shades and blend a little and it works well for me. Great product will continue to use everyday!!

UPDATE: Well it's about 2 years later & I am STILL purchasing this powder!!! It has not made me break out at all EXCEPT when I use one brand of primer that I don't use anymore. I've been purchasing at Walmart now that I know I love this stuff!!! This is now my go-to powder!! If you're hesitant just try it! I have went down a shade though & got smarter lol I now match my shade to my neck instead of the inside of my wrist (not a huge makeup guru like some lol) which was how my sister taught me back in the day lol since doing this I get a perfect match every time!! Anywho, changing my review from 4/5 to 5/5 because if I'm still using something 2 years later I must love it!! Lol Hope you love it too!! 😀 I love powder foundations but I tend to break out when I use certain brands. So I figured I'd give this mineral powder a try since the ingredients didn't seem too bad. I normally use drug store powders that are cheap and use them as a setting powder but this stuff seems pretty good all on it's own. In the picture I'm not wearing anything else but the powder. No moisturizer, no primer, nothing. Now I do have issues with combination skin. Some parts dry others oily. This stuff makes my face feel super dry all on its own which is why I took a star off. 🌟 So next time I'm going to use it as a setting powder to see if it feels any better. Also, please excuse my no eyebrows 😆 I've used the temporary tattoo eyebrows from Amazon for the last year since I have none of my own and they've been a god send!!! All in all i like it so far, goes on well & smooth, isn't too sheer or full coverage. Now to see in the long run if it makes me break out. I shall report back in a month or so after continued use. 💋 P.s. I also didn't receive a brush with mine so I'm thinking they don't put them in there anymore. Which is fine with me because I don't use those kinds of brushes anyway. Mine was fully sealed inside and out.

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.

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.

Great coverage Good price

This is my go to foundation every day. Perfect sheer powder to give a polished look with minimal effort. You can also build the coverage for problem areas or blemishes. I have very sensitive skin so liquid and cream bases don't work for me.

My favorite loose powder foundation. I don’t like a lot of heavy makeup and this is so lightweight and easy to apply. Great coverage and match.

Not really great coverage compared to the more expensive brand Saie I normally use. Probably good enough to take the shine down on your face if that's all you're looking for

I was concerned that it might flake but it didn’t. Covers well and evenly. Doesn’t feel greasy after a few hours too. I’ve always been a big fan of neutrogena. Interestingly, it came as a twin pack. Hence it was really very worth the amount I paid for it.

Broken outer case

Color is too dark for me and cakey whether use puff or brush. Can't use with foundation or bb cream as cakey and patches after applied but good to use with sun screen, looks natural.

Llegó antes del tiempo esperado, bien empacado y sellado. Se siente bien y el tono, aunque en la foto se ve un poco más claro, al verlo pensé que estaba muy oscuro pero al usarlo se ve muy bien en piel clara.

polvo super ligero, me encanto porque vienen 2 paquetes cuando solo esperaba 1
