MiMC矿物精华保湿防晒霜SPF40（柔和米色）

I was looking for a powder to wear over sunscreen, so I bought this. It's pressed and easy to use. I use a small puff like loose powder. I always decide this is the last one, but I never find a foundation that suits me. I also tried a certain moisturizing powder, but it's powdery, and once the powder falls off, it doesn't come off. I like pressed powders, so I prioritized comfort over color and bought this. I would prefer the Pink Bright 205 color that's available in the liquid version, if possible. I also wish there was a refill. Is there a reason for that? It's easy to use and not drying, so I'll give it a try.

I was looking for a powder foundation and was attracted to the fact that it can be used without a primer, so I bought this. It feels a little drying, but it doesn't become runny and breaks down, and it provides just the right amount of coverage. I think the standard shade would provide better coverage, but I chose the light ivory color to match my skin tone. I plan to use it on days spent at home or when I want to give my skin a rest.

It's strange that this product doesn't get good reviews. I've bought it three times. It's a very fine-grained, moisturizing powder. It's advertised as a foundation, but I use it as a touch-up powder. I have a challenging inner-dry, combination skin that tends to get both dry and oily. However, this doesn't feel powdery at all, and it moisturizes without smudging or crumbling. Since it's originally marketed as a foundation, it also has good coverage. The coverage is just enough to make my skin look even, but since I'm using it for touch-ups, that's enough. The best part is the moisturizing effect and how it blurs pores, restoring smoothness to my skin. I keep the compact brush that came with Only Minerals' Marble powder (a different brand) inside the compact. I think the fine powder applies beautifully when applied with a brush. There's also a version with a white package that offers enhanced UV protection, which I use in the middle of summer. The feel is the same as this one. I love this product and would be sad if it were discontinued.

Memo: I used up my Spring/Summer Mineral Essence Moist EX Fresh Neutral and bought this in search of a similar feel, but it had a strong yellow tint and was dark in tone, so it wasn't a good replacement. It also had a fairly strong scent. Using two shades, Ivory in the center of my face and Pure Neutral on the outside of my face for shading, gave my face a three-dimensional look that was just right. Ivory's coverage is weaker than Pure Neutral's, but if you apply it in layers by pressing the sponge into the areas you want to cover, it shouldn't be a problem.

As other people have said, the scent is similar to crayon, possibly due to the ingredients. Reviews will likely be divided on whether the scent is acceptable or not. It feels moisturizing when used. It didn't irritate my skin, which was nice. When I had the clerk at Cosme Kitchen check it out, she recommended a cushion foundation for my skin type, so I left about half the bottle and stopped using it.
