I am a woman of a certain age and I do NOT like to feel like I have a face mask on when I put some foundation on. This is SO light, goes on so easily and smooth. Do yourself a BIG favor and invest in a quality Kabuki make up brush…I have one and it is all I use for this mineral powder, trust me it works great! Just tap some of the powder into the lid of it and tap your brush in it and lightly go over your face, start at your forehead and work down…keep getting a bit of the powder as needed. This product gives me enough coverage that I feel my coloring is more evened out. I then use another little Kabuki brush to put a little dry blush on my cheeks. I also feel this is an EXCELLENT price point, you really get a lot for your buck! I would suggest.
