I have the MAC Select loose powder in NC45. I love it. It provides even coverage for my face. I use the loose powder over the Studio Tech foundation, It sets and seals my foundation well. Because it is a loose powder and the container has holes you do loose a good bit of product.

I purchased the Mac Select sheer/loose powder in Nc45 just to try something new and I have to say I love this product. It leaves my skin matte and no matter how much I apply it does not look cakey on my face. I have not use the product on it's own, I usually apply after a tinted moisturizer with a powder brush. The product cost $23.00 and it's worth every dime. I do have one con about the packaging, Like most loose powders containers a lot of the product ends up in the top which can create a mess.

I cannot live without this powder! I've been looking for the right powder because I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin and it's hard to find a powder that works with all of those skin problems but doesn't make my face look overly chalky or powdery. (I notice that too much powder makes women look older and their skin look drier because it settles into fine lines and I didn't want that.) Select Sheer Loose Powder makes my skin look matte without looking overly cakey or powdery - and it doesn't settle into lines! NC40 looked too dark for me at first but it was perfect - I just needed a little bit to mattify and set my makeup. My face looks gorgeous! I've been breaking out a bit due to lack of sleep from my new job but after using this powder on top of my concealer and foundation, my skin looks airbrushed and my makeup looks great! I plan to buy one of those refillable powder brushes or containers from Sephora for on-the-go touch ups. I hope they never discontinue this because it's a Holy Grail product for me!
