Good heavens, this powder has been a blessing from above! I'd heard raves & finally caved in, despite fears that it wouldn't be pale or neutral enough for my yellow-toned PPP skin. I'd been using the Revlon Sheer Mattifier, and I do believe that the NYC works better for controlling oil! Beautiful, soft, smooth consistency; pale ivory that doesn't turn orange or pink {a rare find); and almost all-day oil control on my psycho combo skin! And the most unbelieveable thing: this baby's only about $2! Comes in a decent-looking compact w/a mirror inside. This powder, along with the spectacular NYC concealer, is one of my newest Holy Grails!
