A little pink for my taste, but overall great matte powder

First of all, I want to point out how difficult it was to match a color to my skin. For reference I am a NC35 in MAC and lean more yellow in undertone. The color I chose which was near to the end of the color range offered is "Creamy Beige 018." I really like the finish of this powder because it does stay true to its name being matte. It is also very lightweight in feel and covers my skin nicely (keep in mind I do use this in conjunction with a liquid foundation). It does say it minimizes pores, but I disagree, I have very large pores especially around my nose area and it doesn't help much to that degree. The wear of this powder lasts me a good couple of hours until I need to touch up which is not too bad considering this is a drugstore foundation. My only complaint is that the color is a bit too pink for my liking but not too bad where I cannot work with it (it may just be my color choice), and that it does not last me that long--I've had this product for over a month and I have already used up more than half (then again, that could be because I like to use it a lot). Overall, great product and I plan on purchasing again because it is affordable and does it job.
