My thoughts
I haven’t previously tried any of Avon foundations but after having tried this, I want to. Before I underline the good points, I should mention that I don’t use it alone; I use it as a finishing powder on top of my foundation. On its own, it fails to provide any coverage so it doesn’t conceal any imperfections as it says. In addition to that, it also boasts a super-silky texture which I believe is true. This is the main thing that has impressed me. I don’t have much experience with loose powders but this one seems extremely finely milled and cushiony soft to the touch.

I have it in shade ‘Light Medium’ which is a good match for my skin tone (NC 30 in MAC). It has yellow undertones to it so it doesn’t appear ashy or unnatural. I apply it with a large powder brush and I’ve never seen it cake up or settle into lines. It’s lightweight, blends in flawlessly and doesn’t add an extra layer on top of my foundation so it doesn't make the skin feel suffocated. Since it’s a mattifying powder, it’s suitable for combination to oily skins. It locks everything in place and helps extend the wear of my makeup. I wouldn’t say it keeps me shine-free all day but it does take care of my T-zone for good four hours. It comes in a huge jar with a screw top lid that closes securely so you can tuck it in your purse for touch-ups during the day but forget about the puff as it's useless.

Overall, I’m happy with this product. The one thing that could improve is the coverage. It comes in ten shades which is pretty good. You don't have to worry about not finding yourself a match since there are shades for deeper skin tones as well. Thank you Avon for that! If your skin is oily and you’re looking for a setting powder that would go well with your skin tone and maintain a natural look, Ideal Flawless Loose Powder is worth checking out.
