Review 1 for Avon Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation
Overall:
Amazing!

I've tried other Mineral Foundations on the market (one of them costing me £20, as I'm a college student that's quite expensive!!) and I got this purely based on what others had said - and they weren't wrong!!
This foundation gave a lovely coverage, and I have very bad problem skin! I found it easy to apply, and I even take it with me to college as I can re touch little bits on my face, because a small amount comes out!
It's perfect - BUY IT!!!

This foundation is the best I have ever used. It is incredibly light, gives a lovely healthy glow and lasts all day.

i brought this in ivory (which having read other reviews seems generally accepted to be the lightest) and it's so orange on my skin, i can't wear it, i look like an oompah loompah! i've tried a couple of application techniques, using different brushes, moisturise, don't moisturiser, use a primer, don't use a primer and every time it goes bright orange. i really noticed the difference when using a cleansing wipe to remove it and compared the wipe to my regular foundation, i was horrified by the shade difference. i also found it left my skin feeling very tight, certainly when i moved my face whilst wearing it the skin seemed too taut. to its credit i would say it gave very good coverage and the dispenser is clever, and i like that it comes with a mirror too. but it just doesn't work on my skin

Best Mineral Make-Up

I am 63 years old and a make up junkie. Buy everything and try everything. This is definately without a doubt the best mineral make-up I have ever tried and I have tried them all believe me.
The coverage is amazing and the product lasts on the skin all day until you take it of yourself. Will be buying this product again and again.

Review 5 for Avon Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation
Overall:
good quality, but too dark.

Good quality when considering I normaly pay double the price for a different brand, which I think is about the same quality as this one. Only one problem, I've tried the lightest shade but it isn't light enough - If you have very pale skin this may not look quite so natural. PLEEEEASE MAKE A PALE ONE!

Could be a better design and come with a brush or applicator, powder is very hard to access. Around the eyes it can be ageing as it makes the skin look dry and the tiny lines stand out more, smooths out the rest of the face though

the actual product is very good but the dispenser style of packaging for this product does not work and the one I have has to be turned upside down to release the powder

The ONLY foundation I purchase!

This foundation is amazing - it's buildable so you can wear as much or as little as you like. Perfect for any skin type and doesn't look caked on....also is good for problem skin as it doesn't cause irritation or make skin worse.
Perfect to carry around in your bag when on the go. I'd definitely recommend this product. Especially good when on offer - I'll be stocking up!

I liked the idea of the packaging and the ammount of powder that was released each time was a good ammount. However I found it to be a bit too thin and didn't cover particularly well.

I was a little hesitant to try this product as i find it difficult to get good coverage.
However, I was very pleasantly surprised! The product gives excellent coverage, is very easy to apply and is light and silky. The only downside I find, is it can sometimes make my skin look a little dry.

This is the first time I have used a mineral foundation as I have always used a liquid one, I am now converted! Doesn't feel as if you are wearing foundation at all. I have dark hair and brown eyes and bought nude which was an ok colour for me. Great container although I do dispense two lots to cover my face. I'm in my late 40's and it covers thread veins and blemishes.

Love this product, I have also bought for teen daughter as it is nice natural coverage. Powder can make a mess on clothes if get ' slapdash' and forget to tap brush.

I like this a lot and the medium beige is a good colour for me. It makes me look brighter and healthier. I'm quite pale especially in the winter months. It's good packaging and the product blends well with any other make-up used. Definitely recommended!

I read the reviews of this before I bought it and I agree with them all 100%. By far the best mineral powder I have ever bought and half the price of other leading brands, excellent value for money.

This is the best ever "foundation" I have ever bought. It covers well enough without looking thick and nasty, yet it is sheer enough to feel like you are wearing nothing!! The shade of Shell is great as I have some "tan" left and it neither makes me looked washed out not American Tannised!! In a phrase..try it you will love it. Thankyou Avon!

Love the coverage this product gives.
My skin isnt the best without make up- quite an uneven skintone but needed to find a product for day to day wear that wasnt as heavy or much effort as a liquid foundation.
This looks very narural, just gives a glow and a bit of colour but suprisingly gives good coverage too!
The only reason i havnt given it 5 stars is that ive already got through my first pot! Didnt last as long as i hoped it would

This powder applies evenly and smoothly, hiding imperfections and does not sit in lines. It gives the correct amount of coverage and is SO much better than the original more expensive brand of mineral powder foundation. Excellent product Avon!!
