MAYBELLINENew York Instant Age Rewind Protector Finishing Powder, Nude, 0.32 Ounce

Even though I'd never used it before, I bought this powder because it was on sale for a really good price. It's okay....it does what it's supposed to do, it just doesn't do it as well as my usual finishing powder does.The compact is oddly set up, it opens on the top to reveal the powder and on the bottom to reveal the mirror so actually using the compact's mirror is awkward. It's nice that the mirror doesn't get all powdery but I could totally see myself getting powder on my clothes or something if I was trying to powder my nose while out & about, particularly if I'd had a drink or three. For that reason it stays in my makeup bag at home even though the compact is small and would travel more easily than my regular brand of powder does.Also, if you buy this powder you might want to buy a shade darker than what you usually do. I bought the "creamy natural" for light skin which is almost exactly the same name as the shade I buy in my regular brand of powder and as far as I could tell from the pictures, it appeared to be exactly the same shade as my regular stuff. Then when I actualy applied it I was a bit surprised at how pale (or how much paler, I am of Scots-Irish descent and not a huge fan of the sun so I tend to stay somewhere between "Casper the friendly ghost" and "Borg continuum") it made me look. It was wearable, it's just that people kept asking me if I felt alright or if I needed to bite them on the neck or something.I do like using it on the area under my eyes, my cheekbones, forehead and chin after I have applied my regular finishing powder. It looks very nice when applied that way but all by itself it doesn't cover as well and makes me look as though I put my makeup on shortly after arising from the grave.I did receive it on time, it arrived on the last day of the estimated delivery dates I was given. It was packed appropriately, arrived in perfect condition and was exactly as it was in the pictures and description provided by the seller. I would definitely buy from this seller again, but probably not this product.

I have ordered this three times in the last couple of years. I find that it works well either alone or over foundation. I have dry, older skin, and this does not dry out my skin or feel tight or uncomfortable as many powders do. I don't wear much makeup any more, but I do at least wear this if I go out. I have rosacea, and this not only doesn't aggravate it, but seems to have a protective effect. I would have given it five stars, but I used to carry one in my purse, and the product broke apart into small pieces. The fact that I still buy it shows how much I like it. That may have been a fluke, but I don't carry it around anymore.

I really like this powder! it goes on smooth, stays on, not heavy, and it looks really well, the shade matches and blends well, I can wear it with or without foundation, and it still covers well, and looks very nice. I have already ordered more of this product! I have been using it for a few weeks, along with some other age rewind products, im not sure if the age rewind works other than on the under eye product, which I have used a lot longer, and can say that I can tell a difference in that area, but I am telling a slight difference in my skin, and it doesn't break my skin out, which a lot of products do, which is great, and I really like the way my skin is now, so I do recommend this product!

I do wear this over my foundation and it works pretty well with keeping the shine that liquid foundation brings with applied. It doesn't last all day though, but in this summer heat I can't blame it. First time application I didn't see much difference but too much will make it look powdery. There is a little mirror and powder puff in a compartment under the product which I didn't know about but was happy to find. I would recommend using a powder puff to apply their powder because using a brush makes it look more powdery.

This compact is poorly designed and hard to use. It opens from the top and bottom. The top has the powder and the bottom compartment has the mirror and the "puff." When you try to open the powder side, the mirror/puff side often comes open too. Also, to apply powder and look in the mirror, you have to rub the puff on the powder side, then flip the compact over to look in the mirror and apply powder. Awkward.The powder itself is OK. This was on sale, so I'm not complaining too much. I use it at home, where I have a makeup brush and use my vanity mirror and avoid most of the awkwardness.

So i didn't know what finishing powder was exactly, but I heard it help keeps absorb the oil from your other make up products and give an overall matte finished look, so I bought it cause it was pretty cheap. I don't thinkkk I see an actual difference on my face, but I have no yet worn it for long periods of time so I might just have to give it some time. The color seemed too light for my skin, but it works, and if anything, makes me look brighter.

i like this powder..it lasts...does a good job at giving you smooth skin and doesnt smell like other powders. but i think i might go for a bit darker shade next time. i am fair skinned, but i have got a bit more color lately. also...they should make this a bit larger, and have a bigger puff to spread the powder around with. other than that, it is a good product that i might buy again. thanks :)

This leaves a nice matte finish and keeps my makeup in place all day. I kinda like how the mirror is in the bottom half. It doesn't get all covered in makeup so you can't see yourself any more. Beyond that is a normal pressed powder. I feel silly though because I threw my last pressed powder out when it broke in my purse. I could have moved it to a different container and had loose powder. Dur dur dur..... Thank you Cosmo!

Make-up was already used BEFORE I received my order. I didn't order pre-used make-up, that is VERY unsanitary. If this is the case, then I will just Order from the American Amazon, because at this point in time, I have lost all faith in the German Amazon site.
