I have tried dozens upon dozens of different powders ranging from Maybelline to MAC, but I never found the perfect one. I had finally settled on one from The Body Shop as it had great coverage, but after a few hours it would look as if I only applied to to random places on my face. Finally, I decided to try this powder since I had recently switched to using the Amazonian Clay foundation. I absolutely fell in love. They compliment each other perfectly, but they also work great on their own. With so much humidity recently, I have been using only the powder and I couldn't be happier with it.

This is a great product. My only complaint is that I am VERY fair skinned, and the fair02 is actually a little too dark for me to wear in the winter - it gives me a yellowish cast. But overall, I am very satisfied with it.

I've been using this powder as my foundation for years. I really love it because it's light, very natural looking and fairly good coverage. But as I'm getting older, I find I need something with more coverage. It just doesn't cover my dark under eye circles or age spots as good as I want. If you just want a natural looking result with light to medium coverage then I highly recommend this!! Skip if you need more coverage.

Finally, a powder foundation for my combination skin that doesn't make me break out! I get good coverage without looking cake-y. Great for every day use, and I use it for special occasions over the top of liquid foundation to make it blend and matte. Amazing!

I was really excited about trying this product, I bought the 02 fair because I'm lighter in the winter and didn't want to have an orange face when the rest of me is white. I have a slightly uneven skin tone with quite regular blemishes and I was hoping for better coverage. I think it's true if you want more coverage with this one you need to pack it on, it might be best over a liquid foundation, at least for me. It looks extremely natural and is not cakey which is what I was looking for. I'll probably continue to use, I just hope for my skin to improve!

I use this to set Smooth Operator tinted moisturizer. I wear fair in the winter and light in the summer. I suggest using a powder puff or sponge it came with to roll on the powder rather than using a powder brush.

This powder is flippin phenomenal!! I've been using it for years and it's just the perfect touch to complete my look.. Unlike other powders out there, it doesn't absorb into your makeup and look cakey and gross... Instead it gives you a natural, flawless look!! And I love when you run out you can just throw away the tray and buy a replacement... very easy and convenient!

This is the best mineral powder out there! I had tried every other mineral powder offered at Ulta and was still having problems with super oily skin by late morning and breakouts everywhere. Finally, I went to ulta and asked a rep for help and she did an instore "makeover" with just the Tarte tinted moisturizer and this powder-- I was amazed. I had to use so much of the other brands before to cover my blemishes, but this worked so much better with less. After a week or so of use, my breakouts cleared up and my skin has been clear and bright ever since. The powder and tinted moisturizer feel so nice when you put it on, sometimes I even sleep in this and I still dont break out. My eyes and skin are very sensitive and I have never had a problem with any of the Tarte products so far.

I've had this powder for about a month. I have to say I had high hopes after reading the reviews, but I am disappointed. The coverage is sheer and doesn't build as promised. But maybe it has to do with the type of skin you have because after reading so many reviews who say they absolutely love it, it must be me and only a few others who are disappointed. I'm guessing it's because of so many different types of skin and complexions. Those who are young and don't have a whole lot to cover are probably more impressed. I really wanted it to work because the quality ingredients are so good for your skin. I just noticed now, that you can use it wet, I haven't tried it that way but will try and see if that makes a difference. No one has said they've tried it this way yet. Wish me luck!

I absolutely love this product! I was a shade 10 in the summer and I have regressed down to a shade 4 for the winter. I apply this over light liquid foundation and this look always lasts all day. I have not had a problem with any of the shades I have purchased and I will continue to purchase this product. I am now looking forward to trying tarte's new foundation with this product. :)

I used to buy my foundation at the store but they stopped selling the makeup i liked in my shade. I love this powder 'cause i haven't broken out wearing it yet and they had it in my skin color. I have a very fair complexion and now my neck and face match. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.

Maeghan from WA

Overall, it's just ok. For me, it was a bit drying and didn't seem to last very long. It would probably be great for touch-ups throughout the day, but not something you can just use and not worry about.

Jennifer from CA
on 01/16/2012

Great powder! It goes on smooth and easy. It doesn't even look like I'm wearing anything! It gives me a great color, like a natural rosiness! Some powders make me look cakey or too pale but this looks natural! I use the light 04 color. I usually wear it alone with either a brush or the sponge it comes with. Sometimes I use it over the smooth operator tinted moisturizer.

Jaclyn from NJ
on 01/06/2012

Love this quick and easy product however the color I thought would be right for me turned out a bit dark. I think I will try the light 02 as the light 04 proved to dark for me. Still a wonderful product as always, I never expect less than exceptional when it comes to tarte! Perhaps with the lighter shade I can layer it over the luminizor which proved a bit dark with the 04 on top. Well, trial and error but still beloved!

I recently got this powder and I LOVE it. I was hesitating on what color to get I don't know about the whole pink and yellow undertones thing. I am an NC42 and got this powder in honey12 and it fits EXACT. I love how its silky, and DEFINITELY not drying at all. It does not cake on or nothing. I have acne prone skin and it has not broke me out. This is my new favorite powder. I recommend everyone to try it!!!

I love this stuff. I will put a little over their tinted moisturizer and it's perfect. But the other thing I love about this is that if need to quick go our or I'm having a lazy day and don't want to have to fuss to much... I just take the sponge in it and apply the powder all over my face... just by itself. Then I add a pop of blush and I'm on my way.

I get complements on how I look so natural when I wear tarte products. I love that this powder is enough on its own and evens everything out when I'm in a hurry.

Oh an it doesn't dry my skin out. I had tried other powders and it would make my skin feel dry, but this doesn't.

I just love this powder. I've tried them all, but this one powder is the Miracle Worker and I can't live without. I use it as a foundation, it stays on all day and it controls the shine. I only wish it had a higher SPF, but overall I'm very pleased and will be a customer for life.

I was converted from BeneFit to Tarte on this particular piece. I usually purchase, Hello, Flawless from BeneFit. When shopping in Ulta, Ashley, a Tarte rep helped me with selecting what I came in to buy. She then told me that she was the Tarte rep and I told her that since she was so quick on helping me to show me some of her products. She gave me the grand tour and then showed me this provocateur powder. It is comparable to Hello, Flawless with the spf and such. She told me about this Amazonian clay. I actually purchased it because it was four dollars cheaper than the competitor and then decided to buy the blush too... I made my purchases a week and a day ago. I have gotten compliments on my complexion for eight days. She showed me the LipSurgence gift set but I didnt want to make any more purchases. I went back that Monday and Ulta was sold out. I got that off of tartecosmetics.com and have worn the lipstick for two days and gotten compliments on my lips and complexion. I am definitely a Tarte girl now!

I am impressed with this. Wish I would have had it when I was a teen. Sadly I am too old for powder foundations now, unless I use a heavy silicone primer. I am still young enough that I break out badly from that stuff. This is nice for touch ups. As a foundation you can get nice coverage from this. If you like full coverage, you will love it. You will go through it fast, but you will love it. Glad to see the refills at a lesser cost. Wish the powder puff was a flat skinny brush.

I've always loved this, but I am THRILLED with the new compact design! It was so bulky with two spaces, and really hard to keep clean before with the sponge area lined with cloth. Even when I'd wash out the sponge, the cloth lining the inside of the sponge compartment always stayed dirty - there was no way to clean it. But now that it's just made like a normal compact, it's a 100% thumbs up, five stars all the way!

I was so excited bout this product but honestly it disappointed me a little, it does not look totally natural, and if you place it even with a brush on top of foundtion it looks a little bit cackey....besides it is very expensive and i got the version that does not have the second container to place the sponge from sephora.

I'm finishing my 2nd provocateur powder. I gave 5 stars with the initial review on my 1st powder, but this time I have to give 3 1/2. Packaging has changed since. Although I don't care too much about the new case design, I'm suspecting they have reduced the amount of power since the size of the sponge has gotten smaller. Also I'm very disappointed with the quality of new sponge. I can tell it's cheaper material and it doesn't apply as well as the previous kind they used. I really wish Trate goes back to using the previous material they used for the sponge... Powder itself is still great though. By far the best I've used!

I absolutely love this! It doesn't make my face break out and it looks great on my skin and doesn't look like I'm even wearing anything at all! The powder is really soft and goes on easily. The only downside to it is that I seem to go through it really quick and its not that cheap.

Sharon from CA
on 05/20/2011

The reason why I like this product is because I feel the ingredients aren't harmful to my skin and I found a color match. My gripe to this is that it doesn't have enough coverage to use by itself. It's sheer- sheer medium coverage.It does great as a setting powder though. It doesn't look or get cakey at all. It has a nice satin finish to it as well.

This is my second compact of the honey color. It is nothing less than AWESOME!!! I use either a kabuki brush for a more natural look or I use the sponge applicator for more coverage.

I was looking for a parabean free make up when I cam upon this make up at Sephora because I had read a book about the chemicals that are in our every day beauty products that could actually be harming our skin and I had bad acne at the time (that was the reason for the book). I started using this product and my face actually cleared up, it blew my mind because I had tried Sheer Cover and Bareminerals and my face looked like crap with those (not as bad as with cheap liquid make up though). I recently couldn't afford to repurchase this and started using some sheer cover that my mom had and my face broke out again so for my birthday my mom bought this for me again and my face cleared up again so I know it was the make up. It makes all the difference, it is an amazing product.I would definitely recommend this to everyone over any other mineral make up and I have tried 5 different ones.

I through this product in my cart as a free sample, and was surprised by how much I liked the product. I only use tinted moisturizer as a base, and this powder evens everything out, even though my complexion is clear anyways. The fair shade perfect for the winter months, but I'd have to use the medium if I started getting some sun. Definitely recommend! Also wished the sample size came with the mirror and sponge!

I really like this compact powder. The case it comes in is very nice and it's convenient to keep in your purse for touch ups during the day. The powder goes on a little heavier than I thought, but I'm going to try to use a brush instead of the sponge that comes with it, maybe that will help it go on more sheer. Definitely a good powder and with the SPF, even better.

I just tried this powder and was truly amazed. A few years ago I stopped using mineral powders because they were too drying and would look cakey on my skin. Not this one! I used it over the Tarte primer and Smooth Operator for an absolutely flawless finish. Today I tried it alone and was amazed at the coverage. My skin feels great and it is not cakey or drying. Even though it has great coverage I don't look like I am wearing any makeup. Looks like my natural skin, only better. love it!!!

The Tarte pressed powder is great! I agree that coverage isn't as thick as other mineral make-up but not spilling loose powder all over your make-up bag...priceless. I like that it doesn't have all the additives that other mineral make up does so it reduces breakouts and actually made my skin softer. I find that it has the perfect amount of coverage for my skin and it looks really natural. Paired with my cheek tint, it's my normal morning routine!

Not sure if the formula changed, but I've been using this for years and my very last order has been making my face itchy. Might just be winter and changing skin. Still love my shade. My main complaint is that the packaging is so over the top. I would like Tarte to mix it up, the recycled lavender metal packaging is nice and sleek, I just feel like the shimmery purple quilting makes the product look not at all like a high end earth friendly choice, it looks cheap and teeny-bopper to me.

I have used this product only once but I have to say that I really like it. I only use natural make up and compared to other powders this is by far the best one I have used, and the best part is that has SPF :)

I fell inlove with this product after the second use to be quite honest, I was in a rush one morning and didnt want alot on my face. So I used a face primer and just this pressed powder alone. I used a brush in a packing motion under my eyes and trouble areas and then blended it out. Well it didnt look cakey it lasted about 6-8hrs with a primer keep in mind . But I think that is pretty good. I didnt breakout or anything!

I have sensitive & acne prone skin. It's hard to find products with the many chemicals even top brands have. I agree with most reviewers that the application is sheer, but I found that to be able to put powder on - you'll have to moisturize your skin, let that sink in, use concealer where you need it and let that sink in & then apply powder for that flawless look. My skin breaks out less from the product now and more from personal stress. It used to be both the product and stress.. I love this product! Thank you Tarte!

I love this powder. I had been keeping away from powders because I'm afraid they will make me look cackey around my nose and between my eyebrows but this made my face look even and soft. It matched my face perfectly. I do wish it had more product because I went through it so fast.

I love this pressed powder. I like that it has spf 8 in it (just enough but not too much). It is somewhat sheer but it provides a little natural looking coverage. Lasts a long time too. I highly recommend this powder.

i got this in light 04, and i was satisfied enough with this product. the coverage is very light, so i couldn't really just rely on using it alone. other than that, it did not cause me to break out, which is a definite plus. i just wish i could find a more appropriate color, because this one did not really work for me.

This product is not quite as rich and silky as other mineral powders that I have used. Its coverage is pretty sheer (especially if applied with a brush), but I like to have at least a medium cover so I tried building it with the sponge. However, the more coats I put on, the cakier it looked. I have also noticed that it tends to stick to dry areas, making them quite obvious. I used it by itself over the clean slate primer, but I believe it might be better suited as a setting powder over a liquid foundation (although I would recommend the amazonian clay finishing powder if this is what you need it for). If you have great skin and want a very sheer powder foundation, this would probably work well for you. Otherwise, you might want to try one of the other Tarte foundations.

I really like this powder. Going to try the new clay one and see if it keeps me a bit less shiney.

I absolutely love this I love the packaging and the product the line has a really nice line for women of color which is very nice, its never cakey and really blends into the skin really well. For being semi natural and an amazing product its also pretty moderately priced

I absolutely love this mineral pressed powder! It's a perfect match for my complexion and it's great for acne-prone skin (it will not make you break out)!!!

I really like this powder! It gives a smooth finish, not shiny not too matte either, very natural. I use this to set the Smooth Operator Tinted Moisturizer, and it gives such a nice extra polished look. I use this in the lightest shade "Fair", and its the perfect color match for my fair neutral skin tone.

I like to use this on days I go a little darker with cheek stain and don't want an overly dewy look. It's really nice because it doesn't look or feel thick. I love products with spf too--makes sun protection easier!

Love this. I have normal skin that's prone to dryness and this product looks natural on, does not go on cakey like most powders. Fair is actually really fair, unlike a lot of brands that seem to have trouble making super light shades. Use this with the smooth operator tinted moisturizer which provides a little bit more coverage too :)

I bought a shade too dark first time around, but this powder is very well-pigmented and goes on nicely. Coverage is great, too!

Love this powder. It actually comes in paler colors. It can be applied heavier and provide a very matte look with the sponge that comes with it. Or for lighter coverage, goes on very well with a brush. Wish it had a higher SPF on days I wear it by itself.

This powder is the best! I have combination skin and it does not dry my skin out at all. It is best to use a powder brush to make an even application. I use this to set my ReCreate foundation and alone over primer. The powder is soft and silky and I love that it has an spf :)
