Shade Recommendations
Our Natural Finish Pressed Foundation provides a buildable medium to full coverage.
We spent countless hours reformulating our shades to create neutral shades that will be a fit for more skin tones while simplifying the choice down to fewer options so that you are more likely to get the right shade on the first try. One significant change is that all of our shades are now neutral, while our previous shades incorporated either cool or warm undertones.
Shade Recommendations Based on Usage of Other Colorescience Products
If you already use our Tint du Soleil foundation or Sunforgettable Brush-on Sunscreen, it’s easy to find your match, since you already know if you’re Light, Medium, Tan or Deep. If you’re new to Colorescience, first decide which of the four shades you fall under, and then read on.
Light will blend with our warmer Light Ivory or cooler Light Beige (replacement for All Dolled Up) shades. Medium blends with our warmer lighter Medium Bisque (replacement for All Even), warm neutral Medium Sunlight (replacement for California Girl) or darker; Medium Sand. Tan blends with Tan Natural (closest replacement to Girl from Ipanema/Taste of Honey) or Tan Golden. Deep will match with our Deep Mocha shade. All shades are formulated to blend seamlessly matching a wide range of skin tones.

Nicole
Favorite Foundation
Ive been using for years and try other new ones as they come out but keep coming back to this. Now on auto ship! Use with the brightening primer for amazing results. -
Tatiana
Sheer coverage
I was the girl who would hope I could hide and cover everything with heavy liquid and heavy application. But now, I’m just wanting to embrace my own skin. I love how sheer it is and I love that it’s just me in the mirror with just enough coverage to hide some shine. -
Rhonda
Dermatologist Recommended
This is only foundation that I will use on my face. Once it is set with a setting spray, it lasts all day. The powdered foundation is great for someone who does not want a heavy makeup feel. It has good coverage with the added benefit of sunscreen. -
Mariya
Very good product
I have been using this since it came in a black compact in 2012. Good coverage and sun protection. Love how natural the ingredients are. Thank you for making quality products! -
Gabriela
Easy
No smudging or heavy appearance. Provides a good coverage -
Deborah
Very light
Love that this is so light you hardly feel like it’s there. Love the built in SPF protection! -
Sydney
I've been using this for years
I will never use another foundation! This product evens skin tone, stays put, is weightless, and so on. This foundation offers so much! -
Mindy M
I keep coming back to this one
This is my favorite powder foundation. I have oily skin, and this foundation is never cakey. It feels like silk on your skin, and i found i don’t have to reapply all day. It has a very mild earthy scent that i really like, too. -
Jennifer
The very BEST
I have been using this powder for over 10 years. They switched up the colors a few years back, now I buy tan natural and it provides great coverage, I can't ever imagine using regular foundation. You can go light or heavy. It does not cause breakouts and gives SPF coverage. -
Diane
Nice Power Foundation with SPF
This is convenient, quick to use and covers well. It's my go-to when I need to get out the door fast. I use a soft brush and put it on over the mattifying primer. -
Rachael
Love love this product!
I don’t usually use pressed foundation powders because I have dry skin and it'll set in wrinkles. This one doesn’t do that! Love this! -
Gabriela
Love it
Love this foundation! It gives great coverage while not being cakey on the face. -
Nicole
My favorite foundation
I love how it goes on light and doesn't feel heavy. Make sure your moisturizer is dry before you put on or it'll cake easy. -
Julie
Great Powder!
I was looking for a natural powder for everyday use. This is perfect for absorbing oil, and blurring redness and blemishes. My dermatologist recommended this brand, and I am so happy she did! -
Madison
Mineral Foundation - All I’ll Ever Use
I’ve been wearing this foundation for the past five years and will never switch. It’s the only foundation I’ve found that has great coverage but is also light and doesn’t make me break out. Never write reviews, but this one’s worth giving a shoutout to. -
Ria
Love it
My favorite foundation! I am on my third compact, it works so well and gives no irritation. -
samantha
The Only Foundation I Can Use
This is literally the only foundation on planet earth that doesn't break me out. The ingredients are completely acne-safe. it is my go-to foundation for workdays, errands, etc. The shades are limited so when I have an event, wedding, going out, etc. I go back to my favorite liquid foundation because after they reformulated the shades, they no longer matched my skin very well. I just apply it really lightly during the work week and it's better than nothing, and sheer enough that you can't tell that the formula is off. it's very drying so make sure you moisturize underneath. -
Susan
Just Wow!!
A couple of years ago I stopped wearing powder foundation. I thought a bb cream or liquid foundation would look more youthful, but I felt like I looked better with no foundation. Then I tried the product! It’s fabulous! It’s long wearing, naked feeling. My skin is my skin, but better. I highly recommend this foundation! -
Ria
Excellent
Safe for skin, bonus SPF! Blends well- it is a must have for your cosmetics purse! -
Keri
My favorite powder foundation!
This is my favorite powder foundation. Not only does it cover really well, it also protects me during the day from sun rays UVB and UVA. Its incredible! -
Lily
Great Powder
This powder has the perfect coverage! -
Nancy
Truly I cannot live without this product
What a wonderful foundation so easy to use. I do not use liquid foundation anymore. -
Amani
My FAVE foundation ever
Nothing really comes close. I've even tried the liquid foundation by colorscience. This one still comes out on top in terms of coverage, how long it lasts, and reducing oiliness. Love it! -
Caroline
Pressed Foundation
Nice foundation, been using it for years. It makes it easy to apply lots of makeup and have more coverage than the liquid foundation. It is a good product and works well, the only gripe is that it doesn't last as long as the liquid and after an entire day wearing it, it doesn't look as good as the liquid or last as long. -
Gigi
Best foundation for sensitive skin
I have used this foundation for 5 years consistently and it has never failed me. I can sweat in it and sleep in it (though I rarely do). it is the only foundation i have to use alongside a touch of concealer for any blemishes. -
Keri
Best foundation ever!
I love this foundation. It blends in really nicely, it's a great color. Does not irritate the skin at all! -
Nancy
Can't live without
I love this and I have ordered for years, will try another brand occasionally but I ALWAYS come back, I think I will just stay. It's the best honestly. -
Veronica
Best compact make up
Coverage is unbeatable, but as with any compact powder you need to pad it well to keep it from breaking when you have it in your purse. -
Regina
I'm Done, This is It
I’ll never wear another foundation again. I love the way it makes my skin look! It lasts all day without a touch-up! Love, love, love! -
Keri
My favorite foundation!
I love this foundation! My favorite color is the Medium Bisque. Its great for my complexion. Highly recommend! -
Amanda
Blue Ribbon Award from my Dermatologist
I recently saw my dermatologist for a skin check and she said my face looked great for being so active this summer. I chalk it up to using this foundation as part of my daily regimen for sun protection. The coverage is great, it stays for a long time, and it doesn't cause breakouts on my face. Thank you and I will continue to purchase this product. It's great!!!! -
Lauren
Stay Put Protection
Great adjustable coverage and stays put all day. You dont have to worry about sweat and water lines running through your makeup. -
Caroline
Pressed Foundation
Gives good coverage but it does look cakey after a while, and easily rubs off if you happen to brush your face while wearing the makeup. -
Sheryl
Excellent Coverage
Excellent coverage and the ease of a clean compact that is great for travel. I sometimes use this along with the liquid foundation but it's great on its own as well. I'm a big fan of SPF included to reduce the amount of products I have to apply. This is my favorite foundation! -
Kelly
My Go To
This is my ultimate go-to foundation when I'm running errands but I want to look alive, while being protected from the sun! -
Kennadee
The one
I love this foundation!!! I will never go back to anything else! -
Debbie
Great for Summer Temps
Who wants to have heavy foundation in summer months. This feels light but looks great! -
Brooke
Pressed Powder
I love the coverage this product provides and it doesn't make you look dry or cakey. -
ADITA
Best Foundation Ever!
This foundation powder is the best I've ever used in my life! It's so easy and does the job perfect. I stopped using liquid foundations and other powders months ago and don't regret it one bit. So happy that I was introduced to this brand of makeup. -
Vicki
The only one
I love this foundation. It glides on and gives my skin a healthy looking glow, looking very natural and not at all heavy or streaky. I use a large powder brush and some days this is all I wear on my face. -
Joelann
Beautiful finish
This powder gives a lovely polished finish with the added benefit of SPF. -
Mindy M
Favorite powder foundation
I've tried many many brands, and this is by far the best formula. It has a smooth finish that is never cakey. Looks natural and I love that it has some sun protection as well. I have oily skin and can wear this all day and it won't budge. Definitely my favorite powder foundation. -
kristalina
Started using this product 6 years ago and never used another foundation again!
One of the best pressed powders available - the best in my opinion. I will never use another foundation again. The coverage is unbelievably flawless. Thank you Colorescience! -
Ria
Excellent product
Loves the way this foundation blends seamlessly.... looks great and feels great. -
Amani
Best foundation I've ever used
I've tried so many different brands, but this one always comes out on top for full coverage and doesn't make my skin oily. It's also easy to reapply throughout the day. Plus you can't go wrong with the built-in SPF! -
Ciara
Best powder foundation
Love the look and feel. Also love that it’s made with good ingredients. -
Katrina
Love this Foundation
This is the best foundation I have used. It's natural and has great coverage. Wish you could just purchase the foundation replacements instead of having to purchase the whole compact again. -
Ria
Great compact
My favorite foundation. Blends really nicely, smells great, and works great for light to medium coverage. Very functional -
Faith
LOVE!!
Such a great product that lasts a long time! -
Gabriela
No longer oily!
Good light coverage without getting clumpy -
Elizabeth
Love this product
I first started using this over 4 years ago and I’ve never went back! Lasts for a long time and it is great for my skin! -
Gwenn
Love this Pressed Powder
if you are going to invest in a pressed powder, this is the one. It's 20 SPF and is mineral based. This powder gives your skin a glow and you will not regret getting it. I like to finish with a setting mist, to set the minerals on my skin and give my skin a bit of hydration at the same time. -
Tawonia
Great Product.
I absolutely love how this pressed foundation made my skin look. And I love that it has SPF in it to protect my skin from the sun. -
Maria
Great product
This product allows me to touch up at anytime and leaves a smooth matte finish -
Rosaura
Love it!!
It lasts for a long time. I use it daily for three months and I still have some. Amazing coverage and incredible product. -
Ashley
2 Years and Going Strong!
I will never use another makeup line again. -
Katie
Natural Finished Pressed Foundation SPF 20
This is by far my favorite foundation. Provides great coverage and does not make my acne prove skin break out. I wear this foundation all day and my face does not get oily. When paired with primer, this covers nicely without being too heavy or looking too thick. -
Laura
Great product, long lasting!
Good coverage for a light feeling powder. -
Keri
SPF 20 foundation is the best!
The SPF 20 foundation is the best I have ever used! It covers and blurs hyperpigmentation, redness and acne. It's nice because it comes in different shades! -
Cheryl
Huge mess
The powder cake was cracked when it arrived. I didn't let this bother me because I thought the product was still usable. Not so! Each time I opened the compact more of the powder cake crumbled and spilled out, making a huge mess. In case you are wondering, the compact was not kept in my purse where it might get jostled around, but was kept in a drawer by the sink. Very disappointed - it was a waste for me. -
Katelyn
Great!
Lasts forever!! -
Veronica
My Go-To Compact
I will never use another compact powder now that I have this one! -
Jacie
Amazing!
I've used both this foundation and and the brush-on and I love this one much better. -
Marilyn
Powder Coverage
This is great for light coverage when you do not want to wear heavy make-up. -
Cathy
Best Foundation
I love this foundation! -
Lindsay
My Finisher
I have been using this foundation since my dermatologist recommended it to me in 2007. I have never looked back. It provides flawless coverage that makes redness and blemishes disappear. This stuff will not make you break out and it provides you with a natural healthy looking glow to look completely fabulous. -
Adriana
Amazing!!!
I just love it -
Veronica
No other powder comes close.
Absolutely the best powder I have ever used. Can be used alone as your foundation or also a perfect setting powder for liquid foundation. -
Veronica
Best Pressed Powder.
Of all the pressed powders I have used, this one gives the best coverage possible. I don't really recommend using it for touch ups though. I prefer a translucent compact to blot shine with or the brush on sunscreen because it's lighter coverage. -
Brianna
Best Foundation
This is by far the best foundation I have ever used. With or without the primer, it looks awesome either way. Great coverage and looks natural. -
Sharon
Very Nice
I love the pressed mineral powder. I’ve been using it for a few years now -

SPF 20 Medium Bisque
The SPF 20 Medium Bisque is amazing! My skin has transformed and it has helped cover up redness, pigmentation and acne. It is simply amazing! -
Emeline

This provides good coverage! I use it over my clear EltaMD 46 sunscreen. Great for acne prone skin. -
Rosaura
Amazing
It’s my favorite one -
Kimberly
Love
Love this powder. I use it as foundation. Wonderful coverage. -
Amanda
Favorite!
This is my favorite foundation. It is so natural looking and feels so light that I forget I’m wearing makeup. This product also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. -
Amelia
Great everyday mineral foundation
Love this stuff. Great coverage, does not block pores and cause breakouts, and very natural looking. I hardly need any other coverage (concealers, etc) after using. Great product. Highly recommended. -
Brianna
I will never use another foundation
This is the best foundation I’ve ever used. The color is intuitive to your skin, just pick a close color and it melts with your skin for a flawless look. Love it! -
DIANA
NATURAL FINISH PRESSED FOUNDATION SPF 20
Love love Colorescience! Love the natural foundation look. Disappointed they don’t carry the 'A Taste of Honey' color. Tried the new colors and had to exchange 3 times -- too light or dark, ended up with 'Medium Sand' which was still on the lighter side. -
LEXI
Natural Finish Pressed Foundation SPF 20
I love the coverage of this light foundation. It feels like I have nothing on and I love that!! -
Katie
LOVE
I have been using this for years. Nice coverage and doesn’t irritate skin. -

Excellent product and customer service.
I love this product. I can usually get 6+ months out of it. Great coverage! And with this order Renee went above and beyond for me and I greatly appreciated that. 100% customer service. -
Ria
Nice
Good product. -
Salina
Superb!!!!!
I fell in love with this pressed powder foundation by Colorescience the absolute very first time I tried it on! Cliche I know, but it’s the truth! Don’t waste your time thinking about purchasing this product.....do it!!! -
Nina
Lightweight
So light it feels like I'm not wearing any makeup. I like it even more that it has SPF 20. The color Tan Natural blends with my skin tone perfectly - also great coverage. -
Adriana
Very nice and helpful product
I love this foundation because it seems natural and does not feel greasy. -
Tracy
Flawless
I love the finished and natural look this powder gives while keeping your skin healthy. So natural looking! -
Ashley
NATURAL FINISH PRESSED FOUNDATION SPF 20
This stuff is amazing. I've been wearing ColoreScience for about a year and half now. I have noticed a considerable decrease in acne. Rarely do I break out now and I attribute it to the this product. Obviously a great skin regime and cleanser make all the difference but overall I have noticed no more clogging of my pores. This product is great for building coverage too. Every purchase is worth it. -
Kayla
Amazing Product
I've been using this product for about 5 years now. I used to struggle with constant breakouts and wearing makeup would only make them worse. I was introduced to this product by my dermatologist. This product covered up my scars while they were still visible with no blotches and gave my skin a glow. I no longer struggle with breakouts due to makeup. I absolutely love this product and highly recommend. -
Delanie
I love this product
I use Bare Minerals in the morning and keep this one in my bag for on-the-go. -
rita
BEST POWDER FOUNDATION
This is the best foundation powder I have found. I use medium bisque. It is very neutral. I have a pretty light, yellow toned complexion. I am using my third compact! Never this faithful to any powder. -
Cassidy
In love
Light and goes far -
Billie
Cover is EXCELLENT
I have Vitiligo on my face, and this, along with other Colorescience products, completely camouflages it! -
Judie
Natural Finish Pressed Foundation SPF 20
Love -
Taylor
My favorite
I've been using this foundation for about 3 years now. It's the only foundation I can use that won't make me breakout. It was a blessing when I found it because I've been struggling with acne for about 15 years now. I love that I can wear it all day and not breakout from it. It has good coverage too but is still lightweight. -
Brittany
EVERYDAY Coverage
Great natural look! Use over Even Up! I know when I use this my face will not breakout! The best. -
Sylvia
Love this!
I was glad I tried it because it makes your face look smooth! -
Brittany
MY FAVE
This is the best product. My doctor recommended I wear this as a primer everyday under my makeup to clear my skin. I feel that it works as a blocker between makeup that could irritate my skin. Plus, it corrects redness! LOVE. -
Vanessa
Love it
I love this powder and it's amazing.
