Gabriel Cosmetics - Cruelty-free Vegan Gluten-free Non-GMO Pressed Mineral Foundation Light Beige 12g

This face powder is the best I have tried. I used to use Channel, Mac and many other expensive face powders; this works the best, excellent coverage, does not make me break out and is super light on the face, I don't even feel it. I live in a very hot, humid area, and I am extremely active. This stays on, and I don't break out using it ever Read more

This is the best powdered makeup I have ever used (seriously). It blends in velvety smooth. I first came across this line of makeup from a health food store in our local town. But they were often sold out of the color I needed. So I had to resort to the internet to order it myself. Which is how I came to order it from amazon. The product came just as expected in perfect condition ( Amazon hasn’t let me down yet! Good job amazon) since using this product ( which I am on my 3 rd refill now) I’ve told all my female family members and friends to check it out. I even bought my daughter her first powdered makeup in the lightest beige, which is great for really fair skin. It has great coverage yet is barely noticeable that makeup is even being worn. Which is great for a young teenager just learning how to properly wear makeup. Bottom line. Best makeup and feels good knowing it’s healthy for my skin. My experience lightest beige for very fair skin, bamboo is a little yellowish, light beige is great for the average skin tone. Haven’t tried any others, sorry. FYI also try Gabriel line of blush and lip gloss. They are awesome as well. Very natural Read more

I've been using Gabriel pressed powder for almost a year now. I discovered it at a Wholefoods supermarket and have been hooked since. This product provides plentiful coverage that can be layered on to meet your coverage needs yet it is soft and light-weight. My skin feels like it can breath. Plus no talc, no shine! I actually had the opportunity to meet the creator of this line recently. His name is Gabriel and he is a Venezuelan make up artist who resides in Miami and created this line to be safe and natural for your skin. Gabriel had bad skin growing up and wanted to create a line of products that wouldn't harm the skin or cause breakouts. Really nice guy, really nice product. This particular Amazon seller sells the pressed powder for 13 dollars and change which is a steal you can expect to pay almost 25 dollars at Wholefoods. Get yours now, I promise you'll love it as much as I do. Read more

I got the lightest color and it's perfect (Extra Light Beige). I was initially worried that it would be too dark because in the past when I would look at the makeup in the health food stores, the lightest color was always too dark. Luckily things have changed since then with many of the natural brands. I am very fair, obviously, and it can be hard to find colors light enough for my skin, not to mention the fact that often even the lightest color would often be orangey from the get go. But not with this one. The Extra Light Beige is truly a neutral with no pink or yellow undertones that I can detect. Moving on from color, the next most important characteristic to me is feel. I hate those grainy powders (think original Covergirl way back when). I also hate powders that don't seem to stick. Well this one is neither. It is silky smooth and goes on in a lovely fashion depositing the powder smoothly. You can either dab your powder brush into the compact or use a powder puff. I use a sponge puff as I find if I use a velour puff, it is too easy to get too much powder on it. Some have have mentioned pressing this powder into their skin, but I haven't tried that yet. After I've spread powder all over, I go lightly over it with a big brush to remove any excess. Voila! I'm done. I have dry skin and I moisturize before using this powder. Read more

First of all, this is probably THE BEST powder foundation I've ever used. I've tried Mac, Origins, Bare Minerals, Smashbox etc but this foundation is by far the best. First of all, I was both excited and sceptical trying this because it's all organic etc and I tend to react to a lot of natural oils and mineral powders but I've been using liquid foundation recently and trying to give powders another go. COLOR: I'm an NC 50 in Mac and I got this in the Deep Beige and it is a PERFECT flawless match, so if you're dark-skinned like me, this is your color. If you're darker... you might be out of luck because I don't think this brand goes darker than this color. APPLICATION: Application is silky and smooth for a powder, this goes on like warm butter on toast, I'm not kidding! It provides medium coverage I'd say but it could possibly be layered to get full coverage! I personally use a kabuki brush to apply this but you could use a sponge as well... it feels THAT creamy even though it's a powder. STAYING POWER: The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars from me is that I don't feel like it lasts all day. It's pretty good at not getting shiny for at least 4-5 hours but after that I get a bit oily and by the end of the day, I see spots peeking through my skin. I'm not about reapplying foundation or powder during the day so I tend to like foundations that have staying powder and only need a bit of blotting paper, later in the day. BIGGEST PRO: The thing I like the most about this powder is the fact that it doesn't break me out. Not even a little. I have extremely sensitive skin that reacts badly to a lot of make up. I've been using MUFE HD for a while because "it only breaks me out a pimple at the time." I've had foundations like Origins BBN and MAC and Lancome Teint Idole 24h break me out in cystic acne so I'm used to the breakouts. This powder however does NOT break me out even the tiniest bit. It also doesn't emphasize dry patches or pores. It gives a natural porcelain doll finish that gradually becomes dewy as the day progresses. I would TOTALLY repurchase this foundation. I really really like this one! Read more

I have been using the brand of makeup for years. I love the quality, it's light and doesn't look like I have a thick layer of makeup on. Coverage is good, and there is no animal testing. Read more
