Maybelline New York Shine Free Oil-Control Loose Powder, Medium, 0.7 oz.: Your Solution for a Shine-Free, Oil-Controlled Finish Review

This powder is very light and the color matches perfectly. I love this container as I am clumsy and usually drop my loose powder and the lid pops open when it hits the ground. I dropped this one and the top doesn't fall off!

I love Maybelline products and this powder sets so well and makes my finish look flawless. Unfortunately, I will no longer be buying Maybelline products as they are not cruelty-free. I have done research to ensure all my products are not tested on animals and I was shocked to see a product that has been around since Maybelline was tested on animals. Many products try to confuse consumers because many of them are from the same company, so they use different claims when testing. They also sell…

I can't live without this powder. I have VERY oily skin. I've tried many face powders and always choose this one. I use it as a base over concealer. I prefer light coverage so don't expect it to cover up many imperfections or breakouts. I use blotting paper throughout the day. If you have very oily skin it won't give you a matte finish all day. But I flare easily and have a skin tone that's hard to beat. It has never broken me and looks very natural. I can use a medium shade most of the year…

I really love this powder. I've had it for about a year now and now it's over and I have to buy a new one and I use it between 3 and 6 times a week. I use this powder over a liquid foundation to set it in place and give it a nice matte finish. The color is as expected which is nice as a lot of colored powders look nice in the box and leave you orange when applied. This powder leaves a beautiful natural color. I have dry skin and apply this over my damp foundation for a slightly more matte…

To be honest I didn't expect much from this product. I was positively surprised! I have combination skin and tend to have oily skin. During the day I usually have to wet my face 5 or 6 times depending on my activity level. Some days are better than others, right? Well I ran out of my old drugstore version that I had for many years and found this one. I've seen beauty gurus use it in a few YouTube videos so I figured why not, the price is right. Everything, it's great. It comes in a compact…

Used this product daily for about two weeks before finally giving up. I have oily and acne prone skin so I want something that offers oil control. This product worked well for the first few days. I applied it with a brush after my usual skincare routine. My skin looks less oily and my pores appear smaller. However, after a week of using this product, more and more pimples appeared on my face. I kept taking it for a week and it got worse. I think the powder clogged my pores and I finally gave…

The powder works as it should, but the applicator is so uncomfortable! The product emerges from the small holes onto the pad, which then applies the product to the face in spots. Impossible to get an even application and the powder is so light that using a makeup brush won't work as it won't pick up the powder. I do NOT recommend! Get the compact version instead; works much better!

First? The down jacket that comes with the kit? Throw it away. It's a crappy applicator and any decent brush would make application that much easier. Secondly? I bought this in a light color and it's still a bit dark on my very fair Caucasian skin. I'm thinking of applying it with translucent powder to make it more flattering on me. No, I won't do it again. My rating is up to four stars. This summer my face got a bit tanned and the lighter color suits my tanned face better. I would still prefer

This is my favorite product. I'm a redhead with very light skin, so sometimes even the lightest shades of some brands can make my skin appear orange or overly pigmented. This powder has great coverage, lasts quite a long time and gives my skin a natural and not dry feel. I prefer to keep my makeup light because I have oily skin and this powder allows my skin to breathe even over a thin layer of foundation and keeps me from looking super shiny yet natural.
