Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder Makeup Foundation, Lightweight Face Makeup, Sheer to Medium Buildable Coverage, Sensitive Skin Foundation with Vitamins A, C, & E, Classical Ivory 10, .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!

I love this stuff. I am 28 and had been using BB cream from another company and recently started having allergic reactions to my normal makeup. I switched over to this and it is very natural looking and doesn’t irritate my skin. It blends to my skin tone very nicely and is very lightweight and great for the daytime. It is not “full coverage” so I use a light concealer to cover any dark spots from past acne and then go over with this. My face can actually breathe and my husband has complimented it every time I wear it.

I like this foundation a lot! It is light but the coverage is great and it is buildable. I would always buy the higher end powder foundations but the prices are getting crazy so I thought I would give this a shot and I’m so glad I did! Try it you’ll like it!

It provides good coverage and goes on smoothly, but the packaging design is awkward. A little goes a long way which is good, but there is no way to cover the dispensing holes, and the product constantly comes out. The holes are on the bottom due to the way it was packaged/labeled. This makes it hard to only get a small amount at a time. I don't know if this is the way they are all packaged or if the one I received was packaged incorrectly.

Great product package well. Goes on easy looks great on. Great color. Last for a long time Good quantity. Fair price range. Nice smooth texture. Works well for people who have problems with hypoallergenic.

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 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 used to wear this often. But I used the Laura Geller powder foundation for a while. I wanted to save some money so I went back to this one, but it does not compare. The Laura Geller just looks so much more smooth on my skin. I liked this when I did not know better, but Laura Geller is worth the extra money. This covers decently, but it is obvious that I am wearing a powder foundation. So I guess it's the texture on my more mature skin that is not working for me anymore.
