Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact Review

Mineral Make Up

The Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact is a neater solution to some of the problems women were finding with the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Mineral Powder Foundation with the brush applicator. The new Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact a well-designed make up product for women who need mineral make up to go. It also comes with healthy skin benefits including SPF 20.

Coverage

At first I thought the make up from the new Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation compact was a little heavy a bit too powdery-looking. I did have to make sure to put extra moisturizer on any normally areas of my skin, which helped ease the powdery look.

The Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation make up behaves like mineral sheers, and it feels very light. It also reflects light, just as you would expect from a mineral make up.

With some practice, I noticed that I could apply a very light layer of these mineral sheers and still benefit from the mineral coverage.

Make Up Without Mess

With the new Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact there is no loose powder on your fingers, your clothes, your sink or in your car. You also will not have make up residue on your hands. This mineral make up easily moves from its home in the compact to the sponge to your face, without escaping.

Make Up Not Perfume

One pet peeve I have with some make up products is the scent. As someone who has a strong sense of smell and is prone to headaches, I do not need add extra scents to my life. Fortunately, the new Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact contains make up that is free of fragrance.

Skin Benefits

The reason I continue to purchase Neutrogena make up and skin care products is because not only do they not damage or harm my skin, they also benefit my skin.

The main skin benefit feature I appreciate in this new mineral make up is that it contains SPF 20. Personally, I wouldn't mind an even higher SPF for summertime, but SPF 20 built-in to this mineral make up product works for me.

What I also like about this mineral make up is that it does not clog pores. I have tried many different make ups that do clog pores.

This product is also oil-free, which means you won't have an oil slick running down your face by your first coffee break.

Available Shades

One of the drawbacks to the Neutrogena line of cosmetics is they do not have as many shades as other cosmetic companies. It takes a keen eye to find the right shade. Luckily, I went with nude. The color I really wanted was out of stock, and it would have turned out to be too dark for my skin tone.

You can find the right shade in the line of eight colors, if you take your time and try to match your skin tone.

Ease of Use

When you open the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact, you will notice two compartments and three main pieces. Under the clear top you can see the color of the mineral make up. The clear circle makes it easy to pick the right shade at the store.

Open the make up portion of the compact and you will find a man-made cosmetic sponge. On the opposite side of the make up, directly underneath is the mirror. The mirror is housed inside the compact, which makes it less likely to break or crack when you carry it around in your favorite designer handbag.

The mirror is also a very decently sized mirror to have on a make up compact.

You can use the sponge to press into the make up and then flip the lid to use the mirror.

Drawbacks

It may appear too powdery for some. Also, it does look like you have make up on your face, which some women don't like when they use mineral make up.

Price

The price of the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact is pretty reasonably priced at around $12.
