Almay Clear Complexion Pressed Powder, Dark

It seems that negative reviewers are attempting to use this powder as a foundation, not as a FINISHING powder. Don't blame the product for user error. I've used this product for years, along with the Clear Complexion Concealer and it's a great combination. As described in the "How to Use" it's best gently applied after liquid foundation and concealer. It's great at setting my make-up and reducing shine for long lasting wear. If applied gradually, it doesn't cake on, become discolored, or settle in smile lines. To provide more even coverage, I prefer to use a powder brush rather than the puff that comes with the compact. It's nice to have the puff though, if you're using the compact on the go! Just remember, less is more and this is not a product that is intended to conceal.
