This is a great pressed powder foundation. I used to use bare minerals pressed powder until I started paying attention to ingredients. It's nice to know I've found a great alternative that covers just as well
I have been a customer of Honeybee Gardens for several years now. I love their foundation. It goes on easy. It doesn’t cake. It lasts all day. The price is right and shipping is great! Overall, awesome customer service.
Love this! Broke my last compact that I carried in my purse. Enter: Honey Bee Gardens. Bought the case, too. For on-the-go travel, this combo rocks!
I've been using pressed mineral powder for a few years now. It's easy to apply, doesn't cake, and it feels good to use a brand that's animal friendly.
I love the Honeybee Garden Pressed power! The healthy ingredients and perfect colors are great for my skin. Just wish there is a bigger size.
‘Love the creamy texture and that there is a brush attached for blending! I also use these as a primer under powder shadows. The best part is the ingredients don’t irritate my sensitive eyelids!
Both the foundation powder and check blush are wonderful and provide long lasting coverage.
I have been using this pressed mineral foundation for several years now and I just love it. It goes on nicely. It doesn’t ‘cake’ on your face and it looks very natural.
This is perfect for setting the liquid foundation. It has a light airy finish without settling into fine lines and keeps my makeup put. I’m so impressed!
Goes on smooth. Perfect match to my skin tone. Natural look. Love it
It is so hard to find a gluten-free, natural face powder for fair, cool-toned skin. Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation in the shade Avignon is the first powder I have found that doesn't turn my face yellow, orange, or red. This is the only face powder I buy. Thank you, Honeybee Gardens!
I love this! I use it every day, it provides a nice, light coverage, and it also works well in place of loose powder when I set my under eyes.
I have ordered this product several times and love it. It covers well without looking fake. A definite must have!
This foundation goes on smoothly and delivers decent coverage with a dewy, matte finish that lasts me all day. It doesn’t turn oily or clog my pores. Supernatural is the shade I use, and I’ve been dabbing some of the same shade of Golden Hour liquid foundation with a brush on spots that require more coverage (red spots and blemishes). The effect is flawless! And at the end of the day my face feels smooth and moisturized when I wash off my makeup. Perfect daily regimen.
Love the Sundance for my skin color. Best part is , it is not tested on animals. It looks good the whole day. Great for sensitive skin, too.
I have been using this foundation for several years now. I am very pleased with its application. There is no ‘caked’ feeling on my face. It is very natural looking.
I really appreciate how there is minimal packing for this item. You can use the compact over and over again. Great for the environment. The powder itself is perfect for my skin tone.
I am very happy with this pressed powder. Goes on smoothly!
I love this product. It goes on smoothly with a brush and provides smooth, natural, non-cakey coverage; the matte finish means I don’t need a finishing powder or other extra layer for an all-day look. I use a spot concealer for areas needing extra coverage (and would love to see Honeybee develop their own for me to use for that purpose!) but the overall coverage is just right.
Love this product. Longtime Aveda user and as you know they discontinued makeup. I think I like this one better! I've gotten compliments and my skin feels so smooth now. I wish it had SPF in it like Aveda did - but my moisturizer has it - so I think I'm good.
I love the coverage of this powder foundation, and the lightness. I don't like alot of makeup but can look put together with just a few swipes of this stuff!!! I also use a small brush for under my eyes and blemishes. Covers well.
This is, without a doubt, the BEST mineral powder foundation I have ever used. It provides great coverage, and feels soft and silky on my skin. I absolutely LOVE it!
Excellent color for my mediterranean/olive type skin. This product is an excellent replacement for the Aveda mineral powder that I used to use. The powder does gently cover my skin evenly and blends well with my foundation & skin. Very pleased with the ingredients in the product. The product shipped well protected and per the delivery time expectations. Excellent communication during the entire online order process. I'm very happy that I found this company and product.
The aloe vera gel is so pure I could eat it! I keep on forgetting that I only need a small drop to moisturize my face. I will always be keeping this in my medicine cabinet.
The pressed powder foundation matches my skin tone perfectly. I really like how smooth it makes my face feel. Great company with great products.
I was a longtime user of Aveda's pressed powder in Aster and had to find something new now it's discontinued. Someone on a random redit recommended Honeybees as a good alternative. Their pressed powder has a similar look and compact. I'm in between Supernatural (too light) and Luminous (a tad dark) but ultimately chose Luminous. The powder isn't as full coverage as I hoped, but it feels light and seems to absorb well into my skin. The powder puff is good for on the go application, but I use the Kabuki for better coverage. And my favorite part is the price--it's so affordable! Would recommend!
I love Honeybee Gardens’ powder. I switched to it last year from a popular department store brand because I was concerned about their ingredients and poor Environmental Working Group safety ratings. Honeybee Gardens gets great ratings on there for all its products, and this powder is so reasonably priced. I love how each shipment comes with a tiny glass animal. My daughter and I love them.
I have been using this foundation for several years now, and absolutely love it! Easy application. Does not rub off on your clothes. Only downside is the rectangular compact case does not allow for all the product to be used; you cannot get the remaining foundation on the cosmetic pad.
Excellent product!!!
Previously I used the Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation, went to a liquid and missed the powder, so I am back. A great natural approach to makeup. I don't have to worry about spreading the liquid and it being uneven. Great product!
I am NOT a foundation person. It came in my analysis samples so I tried it for fun. I was nlown away at how the powder disappeared into my skin and left a more even, but not caked, complexion. I bought a full size and am now a foundation person.
It's a really good light coverage foundation. It doesn't cake or sit funny on my pores. I've used it on It's own and on top of concealer and other foundation and it works either way. It does get glowy by the end of the day, but that's fine with me. It's non-drying and goes over textured spots well. I like being able to buy just the pan as well.
Love this foundation! Color matches perfectly to my skin tone. So light, I can't feel a thing. Plus it doesn't cake.
I’ve been looking for a good pressed powder that is non-toxic and found this one through the Think Dirty app! I use it everyday to reduce the shiny look my sunscreen gives me and it works great. Definitely recommend!
Great lightweight compact powder that hides shine and smooths out your imperfections. I am happy with the colors that I chose because I previously purchased the Sample Variety Pack and was able to color match my skintone during the appropriate months.
I love these face powders for they are great and makes a super nice natural finish with buildable coverage with only clean ingredients... A repeat buyer
I don't often wear makeup, but when the occasion arises, it's nice to have this in my bag for gentle coverage that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin! I have two, a summer shade and a winter shade! Just right for me!!
I'm in my mid 50's with combination skin, so coverage without "cakey" is key. I love the sheerness of the look, yet great coverage I get. Surprisingly the thing I love most about the mineral foundation is the ease at which it comes off at night. I use a makeup remover cloth (fabric) and no cleanser and I used to have to scrub to get my foundation off, This stays put, even in 90+ temps and 90% humidity, until it's time to come off, and then it easily, without scrubbing, comes off. LOVE IT, THANK YOU!!!
A nice natural compact powder with clean ingredients that gives you a nice mate snd natural finish
I do not wear foundation. A bit of primer and a little spot concealer is about it. I received two samples from my personalize color consult so I tried them. I was pleasantly surprised by how this performed. If you like a little bit of evening and brightening - this is for you. This powder is buildable -That being said, if you like a full coverage foundation, I don't think you'll be happy. I will tone down my eye circles but do not wish to erase them or my freckles. I can build it to suit my needs and it doesn't get cakey or settle. I love the shade names. Wearing something called Luminous makes me feel etheral.
I love this foundation. Goes on great! Doesn’t ‘cake.’ Gives a natural appearance.
This foundation covers naturally. It looks like you are not wearing foundation at all! How did I ever live without it ?
I apply 1-2 drops jojoba oil onto my aging face. Next, I apply a small amount of liquid foundation across my raccoon eyes and then I brush Honeybee Garden’s Mineral Pressed Powder over my entire face. It gives a nice finish with a natural glow. I’ve actually been told my face looked air brushed with this foundation. I love the color: Avignon matches my skin perfectly. It wears well, lasts a long time & looks great! I couldn’t live without it.
This product is perfect for me. The color, the way it feels on my face, and the price is perfect. I never want to run out
I have been a Customer of Honeybee Gardens for several years and I have to say that the pressed mineral powder has been my go to foundation. I love the way it goes on and does not feel weighted or cakey. Plus I love that I am not contributing to excess waste that go in our landfills! Thanks Honeybee Gardens for making such a great product!!!!!
Love this powder - really good match for my skin tone and great coverage and lasting power with or without primer. Highly recommended
I was a Bare minerals user for many years and was hesitant to try a pressed powder. However, I love this product. It goes on easy, looks nice, and is very smooth and silky to the touch. I will definitely continue to use this foundation.
I really like this powder. It is light, but actually covers up what I need covered up. The color that I picked was perfect for my skin tone.
After using a number of big box mineral foundations, I found Honeybee Gardens during an online search. I began using the mineral foundation and loved it — coverage without a heavy, pore clogging feeling. That was in 2011 (!) and I am still using this foundation along with nearly all of Honeybee Gardens products. In 2017, I was duped and recruited by one of the MML makeup companies and within 6 months, my skin was in a terrible mess. I went straight back to Honeybee and will never go anywhere else. I love the coverage, color choice, price point and the refillable compact! LOVE HONEYBEE GARDENS!
I was looking to change from physicians formula to another brand and found honeybee gardens. I tried supernatural and avignon and avignon was perfect. Love the less waste and reusing the compact. This is my new go to powder.
Very affordable pressed mineral foundation which has high quality natural and non toxic ingredients. Best of all it does not make me break out and does not cause flare ups in my sensitive skin. This is like my skin but better-it seems to fuse together with my complexion and looks super natural. I wear "Luminous" in the summer and "SuperNatural" in the winter time. It is very buildable without being cakey or heavy. It always looks nice and not fake. I also use this for spot concealing and under eye coverage applied with a small dense brush. On the rest of my face I use the HBG Kabuki brush or a powder sponge. I have used this for years and don't think anything else compares to it especially since it is not only green and effective, but it is also at a great price point. I own the compact and usually order refills to keep on hand so I never run out.
This is the best pressed powder ever, and I tried many over the years. It feels light, lets your skin breath and covers very well. Love it!
I like this foundation beat of all I’ve used, it blends really well with my skin tone!
I love this foundation! I’m on my third pan of it and I am so pleased with it. It’s so easy to apply and to control how much you apply. I love the look of my skin!
I have been using this product for years and I love it. The coverage on my face is always consistent and it does not cake up. Thank you Honey Bee Gardens for making a product that is not only good for my face but good for the planet too!
I just love the color I chose and love it. It covers so well on my skin tone thank you for these awesome products.
I just love the powdered makeup love the color i picked looks great on my skin tone
I only buy this powder since discovering it a few years ago. I have fair skin and supernatural is good match. Light but not white.
I was looking for clean cosmetics and a simplified routine—and this was my answer! A few swirls with the brush to even my skin tone and I look fresh, rested and natural!
As a former cosmetic manager, I was very happy to review this powder. I found that it covers well. Fiji is a great color for medium skin tones, with medium under tones. My only deterrent for giving it a 5 star review is the smell. I have migraine issues, and as soon as you open the package, there is a strong smell. It's just so strong. I am still figuring out if I can wear it or not.
I was looking for a light pressed powder that is made with mostly natural ingredients and at a decent price - and this is it! I'm quite fair-skinned and use Avignon. It goes on smoothly and evenly and you can't even tell I'm wearing makeup, but it's just enough to cover up my acne scars and blend well with my concealer. I definitely recommend this powder! The customer service is also great, each shipped package comes with a cute, little glass animal. :)
I purchased this powder for my daughter. Out of all her clean makeup/foundation, this is her favorite. It blends into her skin beautifully! And I know it's safe...and also economical!
So far the best powder foundation I’ve tried! Even with my dry skin, it won’t make me look more dry. Tip: if you spray your face after applying foundation with the facial mist you get that dewy look
My daughter introduced me to this face powder a few years ago and I'm hooked! Its hard to find face powder thats just right for more mature skin. But this one works great! It goes on nice and smooth and makes my wrinkles seem to fade a bit. It doesn't irritate my skin and feels really clean. I recommend this product to all age groups. Thanks Honey Bee Gardens for making such a great product.
I have used this powder for about 8-9 years now. There have been times I’d try another “green” brand if I ran out but I am always eager to run out so I can get my HBG again. I’ll always have this product as a staple. It’s light, The color is just right for me. And I love that it doesn’t have an odor like many other makeups.
Just ordered another refill of the pressed powder foundation in Luminous! My favorite foundation. Been wearing it daily for almost 5 years and will never wear anything else. Thanks, Honeybee Gardens! :)
I totally am in love with this pressed powder. It goes on evenly and has a great matte finish.
This facial powder is the only coverage I use! Thank you, HoneyBee Gardens, for crafting a lightweight, eco-friendly, affordable product that I hope to never be without. I have used this powder for years and love it!!!
Ive only used this powder foundation a couple times but it seems good! I do not use a liquid foundation on my face because I don't like the look of it. Instead I use a foundation stick (Bobbi brown) on reddish areas (around my nose, chin) and apply a powder lightly after. This foundation powder blends in nicely and gives the neutral, soft matte look I want naturally.
I love the powder foundation. It blends in great!
I choose 2 different colors...Malibu for Winter and Spring and Montego for Summer and Fall. I really love the way it blends in with my natural skin tones and never looks fake or flakey. It feels very nice and light on my face, not heavy at all, and seems to stay on all day long. It's just a really nice mineral powder that blends in so well! I'll always use it.
I have purchased this foundation several times, and use the Supernatural color, which is great for my light/medium complexion. I have combination skin, and now that I am older, I use a liquid foundation, then brush on the HBG mineral foundation afterward. I love that even when the product is nearly finished, I can transfer it into a small round container and use every last bit.
This is my favorite powder concealer that I’ve tried and because of my sensitive skin and allergies, I’ve tried many. This powder smooths out my skins uneven coloring and oil prone areas, while being light weight and not overly heavy like other powders I’ve used. For me, this the only concealer I use, no liquids, primers or finishing powders needed.
I like to use Geisha over a liquid foundation and use Sultana for bronzer. Matte, smooth, and lasts all day! I only wish they were bigger! For me they seem to break into little pieces but I carry them in my makeup bag. And I also haven’t purchased the compact yet, which I assume would help.
The color of the pressed powder I purchased was a great match for my skin tone. The coverage want as good as I expected to cover the redness in my cheeks.
Honey Bee mineral foundations are so kind to my face, the shade Luminous blends wonderfully with my skin tone and, a light touch with the kabuki brush is all I need to get good coverage
Powder that makes your face look smooth and not powdery! Yay!
I need to use very little of this and it events out my skin tone ...makes lines less noticeable.
This is one of my all-time favorite pressed powders. It is not oily or greasy. It glides on smooth. And the coverage stays all day!
I've tried so many foundation and powder products over the years because of my sensitive skin. It's hard to find a product that works well, that my skin likes, and has a shade to match my pale skin. This is it! Avignon matches my skin perfectly and gives me medium coverage without breaking me out. Plus it's more affordable than others I've tried that have been just okay.
I’m 55 and stopped using powder foundation years ago but this one doesn’t settle in the wrinkles I have! Makes my face glow!
This does not smell funky or make my face itchy. It looks so natural and covers.
I have sensitive skin and many skin issues due to autoimmune disease. My skin tends to be dry so I’m always worried about powders looking chalky. This is all I use now and it works great. I love that your products are gluten free. I spray your toner on as a finishing mist and my makeup is fresh all day. Apart from my autoimmune issues, I’m a nurse and clean beauty products are very important to me. I’m so thankful to have found these products!
I've been using this powder for years. My skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts, and this powder is fine for my skin. I appreciate it's quality and natural ingredients!
I like to wear a more natural makeup look and this really provides enough coverage to even out my skin tone. I am in my early 50's and it works great. I had fallen for all of the makeup advice saying mature skin should not use powder but honestly, all of the liquid makeup was awful. I have eye irritation to most powder makeup due to ingredients but since this is natural I have not had any issues. I am really irritated by carmine, the red coloring added to most makeup, and am grateful this doesn't contain any. Give it a try, the samples are great!
I bought three samples first, Avignon, Supernatural and Luminous thinking that the middle shade, Supernatural, would be the best one. I was wrong and Luminous ended up being the perfect shade and I think I have been buying too light of a shade in other brands for the past 10+ years! I don't wear much makeup and this is just the right amount of coverage to make you look natural and flawless. I chose Honeybee Gardens based on a makeup review by a friend and so far I love it!
Love this foundation! It gives great coverage while feeling light on your face.
Great for my very pale skin. It's hard for me to find my shade. Dose NOT make my face itch. I love it!
I discovered Honeybee Gardens compact powder at my local health store and was blown away with how the amazing the product is! Hands down the best! So impressed with the natural ingredients and color is perfect with light coverage!! Finally, I found the best foundation powder!! Customer for life! Thank you!
So con, a little to crumbly for my taste. Pros, my skin looks healthy and glows. The color is perfect for my skin, this doesnt smell at all and wears well. I will forever use this product.
I absolutely love everything about this powder from the coverage, to how soft it feels. It also smells like honey! Great stuff!
I use the "Luminous" first, and then "Supernatural" on top. It's like I am wearing no foundation at all! Yet getting the perfect amount of coverage!!
I like how the powder foundation covers but feel like it is a little dry on my face
i've been using this for a few years. doesn't clog pores, looks natural, lasts. great price for a safer product that is cruelty free.
This product does what it says. Really nice coverage- I wear it almost every day. Doesn't bother my skin at all either
I received samples of these two colors with my "Personal Color Analysis" I use" Luminous" as my Foundation. and "Supernatural" as my highlighter/concealer. All day wear, doesn't cake, or settle into my fine lines. I love this foundation!! The longer I use anything from Honeybee. the better my skin gets!
This is the best pressed powder I have used. Cruelty free, long lasting and great price.
I've been using a lighter version of this powder for my face and a darker version for bronzer for the last year, and I'll never switch back to store bought powder! This stuff is great.
Love this. Light easy coverage.
My skin is sensitive and I have been using this powder for years and it seems to help it even! It's the best and you can't beat the price either! You can stack it for a lot of coverage or brush it on for a matte finish. I'm Scandinavian with pale skin, with no yellow undertones, but the geisha is too light for even me (it's white pretty much) but the avignon is perfect! If I get a tan in summer a little, I sometime uses luminous or supernatural. Best powder ever! Better than any drug store crap (even higher priced ones) without the nasty chemicals! Did I mention: it's the best?! :)
Disappears leaving behind more perfect skin, not dry or cakey. Nut sadly mine was broken into a powder when it arrived.
The coverage is great with this foundation. I'll be honest, I was a little surprised how well this covered. I have a medium skin tone and I went with Luminous. I will probably try Malibu next time; Luminous is borderline too light for me but not light enough to where it just doesn't work.
This foundation is great and goes on smooth....but it doesn't last long enough it only last about a month
This is the best foundation I have found anywhere! I love the color as it matches my Meditaranian skin tone perfectly! It stays on, looks natural, and makes my skin look flawless all day!
I have older, dry skin and have been needing a new foundation for quite awhile. I took a chance on this after trying out their samples and am very pleased. I use macadamia nut oil for moisturizing and about 30 minutes later, apply the foundation and work it into my skin. Nice light coverage. Thanks!
I've been using the powder foundation for about four years. I used to use cosmetic counter foundation, laden with chemicals and toxins. I searched and searched for a good alternative and found Honeybee's pressed foundation. I LOVE it. It's one of the top products in my cosmetic bag and I can't go without it! For a powder foundation, it still gives me the coverage I need and want.
I finally found a shade that doesn't make my face look orange. U like that this powder layers well too.
I use the pressed mineral powder foundation everyday. It stays, is not too matte, plus the Malibu color matches me flawlessly
I use this product as a concealer as well as a foundation. It's great! I just wish it was a little bigger! But great product!
I love the presssed mineral foundation it’s so light it doesn’t feel like you have anything on but it gives you a great coverage and does not dry your skin out!
Wonderful foundation at a wonderful price, goes on easily, doesn’t cake, gives good coverage & looks very natural. I have used the Malibu color & it has been consistent in its performance. Highly recommend!
This powder foundation is a mineral foundation so it works very similar to other mineral foundations.it smells like honey lately which is very nice.what I really love is that you can buy one compact and then refill it with the powders… Thus saving a lot of plastic and glass. Free shipping if you order over certain amount… So I usually order for… When they send me a coupon for like five dollars off.I also ordered the powder… But it does not come in a refillable compact so I don’t really like that however it lasts a long time.the compact for the powder is somewhat small… But it’s very economical and I appreciate the price . It does not break out the skin .
This mineral powder can be used on its own or over my liguid foundation for more coverage. It goes on smooth, not cakey, controls the shine withoutdrying, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and Malibu is the perfect color for me!
I've been using a big name mineral foundation for years. I tried this because it is about 1/2 the price and I am so happy I did! The coverage is better and I think it lasts longer too.
I use this as a bronzer over a different companies cream foundation. It blends really well and the color works great during the summer for me.
Seriously the best mineral powder foundation I have ever used... and I have tried a LOT! I was a little bummed they didn't have a loose powder option, as that is what I normally use, but the ingredients and reviews persuaded me to give this a try. I ordered the samples of all the colors and found my perfect match (I highly recommend doing this and then holding onto the samples so you can test again as you tan in the summer or pale in the winter). The coverage is perfect and it blends very nicely into the skin - doesn't leave a cakey or powdery finish. Almost looks as though you are bare-skinned (but the Snapchat filter version of your bare skin!!)
Love this product! Used with the kabuki brush, it covers like a liquid foundation, only better and with a more natural look.
Supernatural is a perfect color match for my fair skin. It blends well, and lasts all day. My only issue with the foundation is, it tends to break apart easily in the compact - maybe this is due to the formulation? If so, I can deal with the breakage, because the natural ingredients and how this foundation feels on my skin definitely outweighs any issues with the foundation staying intact. Overall, it's a great product at a fantastic price, and I've purchased it three times. I will continue to purchase.
I ordered the foundation in Malibu as I have medium olive-toned skin and it was a perfect match!! I have found it best applies with a cotton ball since the powder is so light and I am able to get good buildable coverage that way =)
I have been using the pressed mineral foundation for several years. I like that it easily blots up my oily skin. I can apply it on my face after a moisturizer for a light application, or as a great finishing product after applying liquid foundation. The only thing I dislike about the foundation is the actually the compact. It does not handle much, if any, impact. Several times the foundation has broken apart, leaving a mess in my purse or in my bathroom. Once broken, the compact doesn't do a great job of holding the broken foundation into the compact. A redesign to better hold the foundation in place in the compact would be great! Often I end up just keeping it in it's original plastic case because that holds it together much better, especially when traveling.
I love this pressed mineral foundation, it smooths out irregularities on one's skin, yet looks as though you have on no make up at all.The scent is very mild and seems to be a very pure product without harmful substances. I plan on using this forever!
I like the powder itself. It goes on well, smells nice and matches my skin tone. I just wish the metal powder case that you purchase separately had a better puff. It was cheap and didn't spread well. I have ultimately had to use a brush.
Love it
I needed more foundation and instead of using a liquid, decided to try this. I guessed on the color and got it right. It goes on smoothly and has a pleasant honey smell. It also had amazing coverage -- a little goes a long way!
Love the way it looks and doesn't look powdery. I'm a visual type person and when it is advertised with the brush and puffs I thought that the puff came with it - it does not - will remember to order it with it the next time.
Olive skin tone and often have trouble finding usable shades. The Malibu Powder suits me well. Very happy with my purchase
This powder is so silky and light. I love the way it wears. I especially love that it doesn't iratate my very sensitive skin.
This pressed powder works wonderfully well on my skin and is just the right color. Also covers very well and takes away the shine on my face.
I will say that I was not expecting the coverage or color to be this beautiful but it gave me such a natural finish that was gorgeous . I think to keep in mind for a great application is to make sure your skin is very moisturized and to to sap and pat the brush instead of swiriling and brushing on face .
I purchased this pressed powder in the color montego to use as a bronzer and I absolutely love it! Very natural looking and blends nicely. I have tried the shade that matched my skintone but it does not seem to be a full enough coverage for a foundation. I also tried it as a setting powder, and it would probably work well for that if needed,
Easy to use, glides on nicely, and blends in beautifully! Covers evenly too!
I have just purchased my third powder. This is easily the best powder I have ever used. It melts into my skin, keeps a natural look, and doesn’t settle into my fine lines. Powder also stays put until I remove it in the evening.
I have light-medium, olive coloured skin and Luminous is pretty much my perfect match! In the summer I could probably go one shade darker. As for the formula, I love this powder foundation! It's smooth, creamy, and non-drying. Never looks cakey. Can be used to spot conceal also - just use a small concealer brush and it is pigmented enough to cover any blemishes/dark spots.
This is the best face powder that I have ever used. Coverage is great and still looks natural without heavy buildup. Looks fantastic with honey bee blush and eye make up. I only use honey bee cosmetics. I recommend it to everyone. It’s the best!
Avignon melted right into my skin for a perfect color match and I always have such a hard time finding the right shade. The formula feels weightless on.
Have finally found the perfect shade and powder stays with me through the day. Very happy with our cruelty free Honeybee Gardens purchases
I have been purchasing the pressed mineral powder for several years now and I absolutely love the coverage. I can put it on after applying a moisturizer for a light look, or on top of my foundation for a more finished flawless look. The only downfall is that it's not very durable in the honeybee compact and it oftens breaks apart in the compact creating a mess in my purse.
I finally found a foundation that works for me. It is lightweight and doesn't make me itch like others have.
I love the powder! But I recently traveled and it must have gotten jostled around and broke up into pieces.
I love the color Malibu! Looks great without being cakey. Have already ordered more! Thank you Honeybee Gardens
I have finally found a base that doesn't make me break out. I bought a couple of deeper colors for stage use and couldn't be happier.
I've been using another brand of powder foundation for several years, and decided to give this one a try on my sister's recommendation. I'm quite fair with red undertones, and Avignon was the best match for me. (Geisha was too ghostly.) I use primer and a concealer stick before applying the foundation, followed by a mineral finishing powder. The powder provides good coverage and lasts pretty well through the day. But, as another review points out, be careful not to drop the compact! It breaks up very easily.
I love this foundation. I have used it for several years and still think it is the greatest. It goes on lightly and smoothly for just enough coverage.
I love this product. It is my go-to foundation. Light and clean-feeling, it goes well over my moisturizer (plus a few drop of oil) and is especially great in the summertime when my normally-dry skin gets slightly oily. The ONLY drawback is that, once you drop it on the floor, which inevitably happens (since I use it every day and sometimes in a hurry) the powder breaks apart, loosens from the tray and turns into loose powder :( which won't stay in the compact but leaks out into your purse, etc. I then have to put the chunks of powder into a container with a lid, and it is no longer very convenient to apply or transport. I'm not sure if this problem can be remedied by using a natural binder or something? I'm no chemist. ;-) Just my 2 cents! Otherwise, I love the formula and colors!!
Looks great, easy to use. I use a darker one for barely noticeable eye shadow.
Great product. I love the coverage and how it blends on my skin. I am filipino with caramel colored skin with cool undertone and the Montego matches me well. Sundance is also pretty close, but a smidge darker. Maybe for someone with a warmer undertone?
I found this site by accident, decided to give it a try and I AM IN LOVE, the color is perfection as is the coverage. I'm 50 years young and my face looks natural and healthy not cake and made up....
I have allergic reactions to several drugstore products, so I have to be careful what I put on my face. A friend of mine gave me a sample of this foundation/powder, and I was hooked! This works perfectly over a primer or moisturizer, and the coverage is even and lasts all day. Previous products I was using caused swelling, sores, breakouts, and dryness. I've been using this foundation/powder for 2 months and have yet to see a single pimple. I'm forever yours, HBG!!!
I can use it alone or over BB and my skin will look flawless! Smells really nice too, not like chemicals. Applies easily and the color stays true all day, nice and neutral, doesn't pull orange or pink. I'm super pale but Avignon is perfect for me, not too light and not dark enough to look odd against my neck. My new go-to!
I use moisturizer and then this foundation as powder on top and my skin looks great and even toned and it feels great on my skin. I love that there are no harmful chemicals. I used Supernatural first and it was just a tiny shade too dark for my skin in winter, so I use the Avignon, which is the perfect color. I am medium to fair skin tone with blue grey eyes and dark brown hair. Love it!
Best chemical free foundation I have found! Works great and color matches well.
I am very happy with this product. It seals my liquid foundation perfectly and adds the extra cover I need while making my skin feel safe and healthy. This powder is the perfect addition to my makeup routine.
I've been looking for a natural face powder/foundation for a while now, and I've finally found just what I was hoping for! It feels great on my skin, has a lovely natural and fresh scent, and looks great too! Thank you. :-)
Great coverage and leaves the skin feeling silky.
I love this for my foundation.
Light even coverage with a clean make up!
I have used this for 2 years and love the way it covers! I use a small brush for cover ups and a large powder brush all over. Wonderful smooth finish!
I like the cover and matte finish. I bought the Malibu and would probably go a darker shade next time.
I bought this foundation in Malibu along with the compact to put it in. It really goes well with my skin and it helps get rid of shine. I love that it's talc free and that there is no fragrance to it. This product is definitely a keeper!
I'm happy with all Honeybee products and the confidence that I am using products that are not harmful to me or the environment.
I have used this powder for 3 years now, and I won't go back to anything else. I have combination skin, and my skin never looks oily OR dry when I wear this. It's very light feeling and yet has great coverage.
I don't wear makeup very often, but needed some for a stage performance. I ordered samples initially, and loved the products so much that I came back for the full-sized ones to replace my drugstore brands. I am from Hawaii, but living in Alaska has chased my tan away, and the Malibu foundation is perfect for me here. I'll have to order a darker shade when I move back.
I love the coverage of Honeybee Gardens mineral foundation powder. I use luminous, malibu, and montage depending on the season and color of my skin. This product is sensitive toward my skin and blends flawlessly.
I am so impressed by the pressed mineral foundations coverage. It makes my skin look flawless, without looking caked on. I usually wear some type of tinted moisturizer underneath the powder.
Thought Geisha would work for me..do not get Geisha unless u want it for a highlight or you are paper white. I got the Avignon sample which was too light for a red head with freckles so Supernatural did the trick! Still pretty pale though so ORDER SAMPLES FIRST!!
Ordered this a few weeks back in the avignon shade. Great match for my skin tone. Over a primer it lasted all day and didn't settle into my fine lines. Super impressed and love the price. It does have a slight rosemary scent to it, but rosemary is in the ingredient list. Thanks for another great natural product Honeybee Gardens! Keep up the great work
For the past year, I've really been trying to use healthier products and to be more mindful of what I put on my body. So I was happy to find this natural foundation. I really do like it but be aware this this foundation has very light coverage, which is fine for those who don't need full coverage. However, in my case, I've suffered from acne most of my life so unfortunately I have quite a few scars and imperfections that need covering up. And I also have dark circles. By itself, on my face, it offers very little coverage. But with that being said, I decided to try it on top of tinted BB cream and I was quite impressed. I lightly cover my face with Physician's Formula organic wear BB cream, then I dust a little bit of this foundation over it and it looks fantastic. I get the exact full coverage that I need. This foundation is also mattifying, so it helps with the slight wetness of the BB cream. I do have to do a slight touch up during lunch, but my skin is very oily and nothing I've ever tried can keep my oily skin at bay. I also have noticed that my skin hasn't broken out hardly at all since I stopped using my previous chemical ridden unhealthy mineral foundation. I didn't realize I was causing my poor face to break out every other day by smothering it with chemical filled junk. I would try and treat my acne once I washed my face then I would turn around and smother it all over again. I'm glad I finally realized what I was doing because I have noticed a huge improvement in my skin. The only thing I wold like to see would be more of a selection of shades. I have a skin tone that is very hard to match. I'm a cool tone with no pink undertones and I'm in between light and medium. Every shade I try with any foundation is always too light or too dark and ALWAYS pink or reddish. The closest match I could find for me was to mix the Malibu shade and the Luminous shade together. I have always liked loose mineral powder, so I spoon out, crush and mix both shades into loose powder and pour it into an old bare minerals sifting jar. It works perfect. Not the most perfect shade but it's the closest I could get with what I have to choose from. It's really important to me to use healthier products so I will continue purchasing this foundation. I would recommend to other people who are trying to be healthier as well.
This is a wonderful product@. I have rosacea and the mineral powder affords a lightweight but thorough coverage.
I tried a couple of colors, now I got it! The others were great but for my light olive tone, Malibu is perfect! I will stick with Malibu! sincerely, Gina Bird
This makeup goes on smoothly and feels totally natural.
The cover is not too heavy and is natural while making my complexion smooth and gorgeous. I use it as a powder over my moisturizer. I feel even better about using something free of chemicals.
This beautiful mineral foundation glides on beautifully, covers perfectly, lasts all day, doesn't clog pores, and does not settle into lines!!!! Supernatural is the perfect shade for me. Blends great with my skin tone and looks like I am wearing nothing but FLAWLESS!! Sincerely, Gina Bird
I have been using this for quite some time and still love it. It goes on smoothly with just enough coverage and looks very natural.
I have used this powder for over a year and I love the flawless look it gives my skin. I use it after applying an organic SPF tinted moisturizer and the look is wonderful. I can also apply it after applying a regular moisturizer for a subtle look. It helps control my oil skin as well.
Love the color on my skin, and it feels like I don't have anything on.
This mineral powder is excellent! I have rosacea, oily skin, and large pores. This powder works well for all three issues. I have used other mineral powders that provide more coverage for the redness, but get very cakey, oily, and unnatural looking. This HoneyBee Gardens mineral powder covers the rosacea and large pores quite nicely, does not get cakey, and actually seems to diminish the oiliness of my skin. What more could you ask for at a fraction of the cost of many other mineral powder products? I am so happy to have found this product!
The shade range is a little slim, so I'm still trying to pin down my color. I like the coverage of this foundation powder and the consistency of color when applied. I also love the fact that it comes in refill format with a reusable compact. I docked it a star because I did find it kind of drying. When I first put it on, my skin feels like it's being sucked of moisture. After a few hours, this balanced out back to a normal feeling, and the matte finish did last all day. With oily skin or when the southern summer weather ramps up, I might appreciate that, but at current conditions, it was a little too much to start the day.
I love this pressed mineral foundation. I never thought I would find a foundation that works for me but as soon as I tried this one, I'm in love. I don't think I'll get any other foundation. I tried loose powder foundation and cream foundation but never worked out for me. Even if I put primer on, I just looked like I had tons of foundation on, looked powdery, or looked uneven. This foundation though, has great coverage, don't need much of a primer to put on, and goes on really nicely. Thank you for making such a great product!
I used to be that girl that wore primer, liquid foundation, concealer, and powder. After trying Honeybee garden's foundation, I don't use anything else. My skin didn't break out after using this product, and my skin is actually clear for the first time since my childhood (I've been using honeybee gardens powder for 6months now). Best my skin has ever looked, and the powder just makes the finishing touch on keeping my oily face at bay. This powder never cakes and lasts for my 11 hour day. I am SO BEYOND impressed by this powder. It is amazing. You can build coverage to about medium with this powder. I recommend buying two powder packages because it goes really fast if you're using it most days of the week.
I tried a sample first to make sure I had the right color. What surprised me right off was how soft this powder feels. The coverage also lasts all day and it doesn't ever rub off. I love this stuff!
I really like this color, it matches my skin tone better than Luminous. Luminous is only about about a shade or 2 off from my skin color. I have always had that problem when buying foundation in the past and this time, I decided to try Supernatural. Perfect match! I have never had a foundation in any form that seemingly disappears and gives me great coverage at the same time. I will be buying Supernatural from now on! Sincerely, Gina Bird
I have not had a product from this company that I do not love. The luminous powder foundation is the perfect color for me, and I just love it. What else can I say. It goes well alone and great over other foundations and creams. Thank Honeybee Gardens. I am recommending your products to everyone.
Compares favorably to top name organic makeup at a fraction of the cost
I have a light/med Olive tone to my skin. At first I thought this color might be a little too dark. Then I realized that this color was a perfect match. I was used to using a color that was too light before in those "Other" brands. So I love Luminous. I never had good luck with mineral powders before either. Until I tried this one. So I will keep on using Honeybee Gardens everything. This powder doesn't cake, it doesn't settle into lines, and is the best. Thank you Honeybee Gardens for making an awesome and healthy mineral powder! Did I mention that it lasts all day too? As well as makes my skin look flawless? Gina Bird
i have very sensitive skin so i gave up on make up all together but, since i work outside i feel like i need to protect my skin better than i have been. HBG was highly recommended by a cosmetologist friend. it actually makes my skin feel less greasy during the day than anything else i ever used. it's very light coverage and i feel good about not using any harsh chemicals on my face. you won't be disappointed. the best part is the price.
The pressed mineral powder foundation has been my favorite for the last 5 years. I have problem skin and it is gentle and doesn't clog pores like other foundations. Cheers to Honeybee!
Like this company's customer service this product goes above and beyond! Light to med coverage, builds well, color selection is excellent! Compares and surpasses many high end organic brands.
I love the pressed mineral powder. It stands up against the expensive brands and then bypasses them as far as quality and price. I have NEVER used mineral make up until trying honeybee gardens products and one other "high end" name brand and honeybee knocked my socks off. I literally took all my samples to my friends and family to try I was so impressed. I have sensitive skin that is always breaking out for one reason or another and I fight with my pores. This foundation does wonders for nearly flawless coverage. I use multiple colors of the mineral powder to build my coverage and it is far from cakey. Only downside...if your skin is dry even under moisturizer then the powder kind of sticks to skin flakes.
I had a severe case of Rosacea and needed to find a natural mineral make-up to replace my normal liquid drugstore foundations. I have naturally oily skin and am very fair with reddish hair. I've been using a combo or Geisha and Avignon for quite a while and love them! I don't look oily and the coverage is excellent! I also discovered a secret to extend the use. Sometimes it's difficult to use the last bits on the sides of the metal tin, but you can easily chip it out and mix with a little bit of rubbing alcohol and put back in tin to use the final bits. I love this product and would never consider going back to any other product. I am in my 50's and have used a ton of different foundations. This is the best!
I first purchased this product in Geisha about a year ago on a whim because I was looking for a more natural alternative to the usual "drugstore brand" of pressed powders, and I am so glad I did! This has been my favorite face powder ever since. To my surprise this natural powder out-performs any other brand I've ever used. It provides light-to-medium coverage that applies evenly, blends nicely, is long-lasting with minimal touchups for my oily skin, builds nicely for more coverage without caking or settling into fine lines, and provides a fresh, natural look. The powder tin comes in a small plastic container so I recommend purchasing the reusable and refillable HBG compact; it protects the product and is much better for keeping in your purse (not to mention less packaging and waste!). The consistency is a bit softer than a non-natural alternative, but that's not a big deal; just remember to use a gentle hand to prevent breaking or crumbling. I quickly learned that a little bit of this powder goes a long way when applied with a makeup brush (I use Eco Tools). Natural products generally have a softer consistency than their standard brand counterparts so keep this in mind. My skin tone is cool and fair with yellow undertones. Geisha is the lightest shade available and it works well for me. I have also tried Supernatural, which is described as "pale to light neutral" on the HBG website. In my opinion, the differences between the two shades are negligible. Supernatural is ever so slightly more pigmented than Geisha. I have noticed that the consistency of Supernatural is softer than Geisha. Again, not a big deal to me as I haven't had any major problems yet with breakage. (TIP: If you're not sure which shade is right for you, I suggest Googling swatches online as the ones provided are not very accurate. HBG offers samples via their website if you want to try before you buy.)
I've used pressed powder foundation in the past and wasn't happy with it. Your foundation goes on nice and doesn't look like powder. Love this product...
I have never reviewed a cosmetic before, but I really like this foundation. I have fair skin, but it is oily with areas of redness. I use Geisha, which is a shade lighter than my skin tone, for a base, then apply Avignon which matches my skin tone. Dust with a finishing powder and my skin looks great and really natural, not chalky or made up (hard to accomplish when you have 50-year-old fair skin). Also helps control shine. It comes in a shallow plastic container and that's fine for the set I keep on my vanity, but I bought compacts for the set I travel with, and I recommend that for ease of use and to protect the contents from crumbling. I also like that it has no strong smell; I tried another product that smelled so strongly of roses that my eyes burned and watered the one time I wore it.
I have been experimenting with a lot of organic, chemical free beauty products and the problem with most of them is that they provide zero coverage. It's like you're wearing no make up at all. This product on the other hand feels very light but actually helps cover the blemishes and even out the skin tone like regular make up. This is the third or fourth time I've bought it!
I use the shade Avignon and it matches my skin tone perfectly! I purchased the compact case as well and I just love this foundation and case. I prefer pressed powder foundation over loose powder foundation because it is way less messy. I just discovered Honeybee Gardens recently and I absolutely LOVE this company! They make clean cosmetics and ship them very quickly to customers. Thank you Honeybee Gardens!
This is the best mineral powder that I have ever used! Next time though, I am going to go with Supernatural because the Luminous is just a tad bit too dark for my skin. It still looks great and lasts all day! It covers real nice and lasts all day. Brush or puff, it goes on great!
Best product of it's kind. Best value for your budget.
I purchased this foundation in Geisha, and it fits my skin tone perfectly. It offers enough coverage to hide any redness without being too heavy. I've noticed my skin has greatly improved since I started using this instead of my old chemical-laden liquid foundation. I definitely recommend this!
I like this foundation powder so far. I am used to loose powder so I am still learning how best to apply it, but the color is a great match for my skin, the finish is smooth and not cakey. I don't have any reactions to the product and in fact my skin is feeling tighter, smoother, and healthier than before. I would recommend this product and this company to others.
I have bought this powder foundation before and really like it so purchased again. It has a light coverage and goes on easily and blends nicely. Thanks for a great product at a reasonable cost.
I haven't worn foundation in over a year - partly because of the chemicals and bad ingredients - and partly because it's nearly impossible to find a foundation light enough for my skin (think of the palest red-head you know, except I am guaranteed to be paler). This powder foundation does a great job at minimizing the light redness I have around my nose and cheek area. It doesn't seem to dry out my skin, but keeps my skin looking moisturized all day. I will say it's best to apply with a light hand - I put too much on the first time I tried the pressed version (I had been using the loose powder sample before) and the powder caked with my moisturizer and sunscreen and looked like it was flaking off within a few hours. But if I apply it lightly, it holds up well throughout the day. I think the amount of makeup you get is good for the price, considering it's chemical, cruelty, and gluten free. I wish it came in a loose powder form, like the samples, as I do prefer that to the pressed version.
I've been using the pressed powder for a month or so and love how little it takes to cover. My skin tone has always been difficult to match and/or have had to wear heavy makeup and mix shades. Also because of all the ingredients and me having a gluten intolerance, my face would break out and sometimes even swell. Your Montego is just the right shade and so light that I really don't feel like I'm wearing it. Being in Alaska glutten free makeup is hard to find and where I do find it they don't always have the shade I use. I'm really glad I can order it straight from your company. Thank you so much.
I first bought this in a rush at a natural foods store that later went out of business. One of my best "hurry up" purchases ever. Comparable to high end mineral makeup at less than half the price. Have been using for four years and very satisfied. Use every day and get the added benefit of a natural sunblock. Easy online purchase and super quick delivery.
Absolutely love this foundation! Initially, I thought Supernatural would be too light since I have some red undertones in my skin. The color is not only perfect, it blends the redness away. Very glad to have stumbled onto HoneyBee Gardens!
I usually have a problem with powders being either too yellow or too pink/blue for my skin but this is perfectly neutral for me! It helps cover up red spots and doesn't make my skin itch! I love that it's paraben free and it smells like food (like almond oil or something.) I also love the compact! it's just small enough to not be bulky! And I like that I can just get replacement powders so I don't waste as much!
I like this powder very much! Covers very well when using the puff from the compact. I have dry patches so i do have to moisturizer right before using it or my skin looks flaky. My only complaint is that it's such a small amount or it would be 5 stars.
Good coverage. Goes on smooth. Nice finish. Love the eco-friendly packaging.
I have to use a little bit more of it than my old powder, but I love the finish of this powder on my skin. I use a smaller brush for problem areas- sometimes I have problems getting coverage of red spots without just smothering it in powder but all in all it is a great alternative to my old powder.
This is a great make up. I love the feel of it and it doesn't look like I am loaded down with make up. I have a natural look yet still have coverage. I can also feel good about what is on my face because of the ingredients. Thankful for such a great product and will not go back to any other.
I was looking to switch to something natural that wasn't too expensive. This worked perfectly. Although I still get oily that happens with all makeup due to my skin. Stays on almost all day and has a nice finish. Covers imperfections better than my old powder ever did. I bought Avignon, which from what I've seen is mostly an online buy. Please release the other colors to more stores.
I've been getting Supernatural for a year or so now and I'm a big fan. The color is great and it goes on really nice. The only thing that would make it perfect is that if it had SPF in it (hint, hint). I live in AZ so I'm try to pick products with sunscreen, but I like the Supernatural so much that I overlook the fact that the foundation doesn't have any.
I have been searing for a natural product that gives me coverage and a flawless complexion and this is it! The foundation feels light and gives coverage at the same time.
Highly recommend this product, especially if you are sensitive to or are questioning all the chemicals in beauty products. Love it!
I have post acne scars and this covers like a foundation without being heavy. It covers so well and doesn't cause any new breakouts! Thank you!
I have been in search of a foundation that 1- I can use with sensitive skin, 2- is actually the correct color for me and 3- does not have aloe or sunflower in it at all. This fits the bill in all those ways plus the price is very reasonable especially given it doesn't have any other nasy things like petroleum in it that so many folks are trying to stay away from!
Great product! I was looking for a natural alternative pressed powder that was priced reasonably and happy to say I found it! And it has perfect coverage, not too heavy. Very natural feeling.
Love this product. I can use it as a base or just a touch up powder. Great with shine reduction. I have a very oily, reddish face that is sensitive - this is a great product!
This is so nice that all you do is pop the old powder pan out and put the new one in. Very convenient and not throwing out a whole compact.
I absolutely love this makeup. It is by far the best natural makeup I have used, and I've tried out a lot. It has great coverage like a cream foundation without the mess and grease you can encounter with a liquid. I have combination skin and with this stuff my face isn't oily by the end of the day and I don't have to reapply throughout the day like some other "natural products" (which seem to never even show up on your skin in the first place). This is a great alternative to a liquid foundation with no compromises on coverage. Also it's been difficult for me to find a shade that matches my palest, white as snow skin in the winter but her lightest Geisha shade matches me perfectly! Oh, and to have all of that with no harsh chemicals or toxins??!! I will never need to try another makeup because this one is a 10/10!
I really like this powder. Stays on and offers great coverage even on 12 hour shifts.
I've tried other mineral powder foundations in the past and they seem to sit on top of my skin and make it look dry and caked on. This is the first mineral foundation I've used that actually blends in to my skin. It goes on easily so I don't have to use a lot and lasts all day as long as I don't touch my face too much. The coverage is light and blends nicely. If you are looking for a full coverage foundation, this may be too light for you. But if you are looking for something to even out your skintone and make your face look and feel smooth, you won't be disappointed!
I like to cover my flaws, but don't want to look and feel like I am wearing a foundation! This does the job perfectly! It's light and smooth, and lasts all day, even when I sweat. It's hard to find a natural product that does it's job well, and Honeybee Gardens has made that product!
I've tried every mineral foundation out there! Most settle into lines and if they don't they are very dry! This product leaves my face smooth as silk and makes me look younger! It's delicate, not heavily pressed, so you must use care not to put too much on when applying(I use a kabuki brush) and also be careful not to drop it! I'm fair skinned(burn easily) with pink undertones and I have blonde hair and I use Supernatural. I'm also impressed with the customer service! When I had questions my emails where tended to immediately! Give this powder a try, you won't be sorry!
This foundation blends so completely it looks like you're not wearing makeup! It evens out the skin tone and lasts all day. All this plus the added bonus of knowing it is not riddled with chemicals and toxins!
I have rosacea and I'm gluten sensitive and Vegan, this reduces the products I can and will use. I found this company about a year ago and I use nothing else. I tell all my friends about this product! Sometimes I order extra now just to give it to friends to let them try. This foundation is not too heavy it covers my rosacea and it doesn't make my gluten sensitivity flare! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I love the finishing look it gives. Matches my coloring, looks and feels great. I use a brush to apply it and don't need much so it lasts a long time.
I am so glad I finally found a natural foundation that has good coverage, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, isn't too oily or drying, doesn't make me break out, and doesn't have a pink undertone. (My skin was getting just a tad oily toward the end of the day, but I think that might have been my moisturizer) I have tried foundations from RMS Beauty, Juice Beauty, 100% Pure, W3LL People, and Alima Pure. It is better than all of them. And I haven't tried Vapour, but I'm going to say it's better because the price for Vapour is unreasonable for a someone on a budget. So there you go. If you haven't tried it, I recommend you do. Thank you Honeybee Gardens!!!!!
I love the mineral powder in the compact. I keep one at home and apply it in the morning with the kabuki brush, and I keep one on me to powder my nose in the afternoon at work. It's fresh and clean and quick to apply.
I was introduced to Honeybee Gardens when I first bought this product at my local health food store. They've since stopped carrying it (BOO) but at least I am able to still buy it online. I use the Geisha shade. I cannot say enough about this pressed powder. It's beautiful to work with. It does not wear off during the day. I have mild redness/irritation--perhaps Rosacea, and it's really been a struggle to find something that is good on coverage, but doesn't exacerbate the issue. This powder is it. I don't feel like I am wearing anything at all. It washes off easily and does not irritate or break out my sensitive skin. I also seem to receive the most compliments on my skin and how I have a nice glow when I am wearing this powder. To be honest, I've actually noticed an improvement in the redness issue when I wear this regularly. There have been times when I have run out and have had to resort to an alternative powder (not from Honeybee), and I really notice a difference in how my skin feels and reacts, and that only makes me want to replenish my stock of this powder as soon as possible! This is a very delicately packed powder in the tin, so take extra care not to drop it, or it will break into a million pieces. It's still useable that way, but will take some extra time to get even coverage. My only wish is that it could come in a larger size, but I will continue to buy (usually multiples at a time) to ensure that I never run out. PLEASE don't ever stop making this stuff--it is awesome! :)
