I wear this product every day, and it lasts about 3-4 months.

i just got mine 2 weeks ago, but you use very little at a time. i see it lasting me about months.

I've had my current 'bottle" for about 6 months and there's maybe half left. I don't wear makeup every day, but my daughter does and she has slightly less in hers, which was purchased at the same time.

I think the length of time it lasts you would be very comparable to what you are using. I purchased mine approximately 7 months ago, and I still have about 1/5 of the container full of powder. I switched from the Studio Fix powder to this because something in Studio Fix was making me break out. You will love Supernatural. It is light, but it covers well. Also, you will see an understated glow that the Studio Fix does not give you.

This should pretty much last you the same amount of time. I brought one for my mother last year at Christmas, and she's just getting ready to order another.

I'd say with everyday appilcation, at least 12 months.

well for me, this stuff lasts a good 5-6 months. i've only been using this stuff for a yr. and a half and i've only had to buy it twice (but that's because sometimes i don't use it everyday). the supernatural powder brush works awesome with this stuff too. it's very soft and uses less makeup

I used to use Bare Escentuals that lasted forever. I've been using this foundation everyday for about 7 months and I'm still not done with it. I switched from Bare Minerals and found the coverage with this foundation is flawless and covers the redness I have without drying me out.

I would say that it lasts about the same amount of time...I apply using a big MAC powder brush instead of the puff thing that's attached...but it lasts at least that long if not longer (for me).

Hi! I love Studio Fix by MAC and use it as well. But I do incoporate this one into the mix as well. In terms of how long it will last, I really believe a good six months. It depends on how much you layer it though and how often you use it. I think the coverage is definitely similar to studio fix and will look flawless. Try it!

I also have a Mac Studio Fix that I keep in my purse. Although, I don't really use it too much anymore b/c this stuff lasts just as long. I think I've had mine since December or so of last year. I don't think you're supposed to keep makeup this long but it hasn't done any harm!

I would say that the Supernatural lasts me about the same.

This container will last you a good while. I think I bought my last one around January so I'm guessing it lasts about a year, maybe 9 mos. depending on how you use it.

I've had mine for about six months and havent run out yet. It looks like I still have a few months left. I dont use it every single day though, I would say four or five days a week.

I need a lot of help and so I put it on a litte more than maybe I should, but so far it lasts me 3-4 months.

I have used mine almost-daily. It lasted me 3 months. Hope this helps.:)

This is sheerer than Mac Studio Fix. To get similar coverage, either use it with a different applicator or reverse the puff (powder comes from behind the puff as opposed to you applying the product to the puff). I have used mine all summer and still have some, so my guess would be 3-6 months with light coverage.

240-270 days,give or take a week.I suppose.

I get about 3 months out of a jar. Be careful because it's easy to use too much, but with a short amount of practice time, you'll have down pat! You might want to replace the puff after about 2 months - but then depending on how you use it, it may last until the jar is gone.

i use it every day (though i'm an actress and for auditions, filming, class, etc. I typically may have to wash my face and redo/reapply make-up for different looks, etc so i probably use it more than once a day), and this is my first container.... i've had it for about 3 and a half months and it looks like i have about 2 more months out of it?

I've been using the same one for 6 months and haven't run out yet; however I always keep another on hand. Also, there are replacement applicators available, so I change those from time to time.

I just started on a second jar after 7 months. I'd say that it depends on how much you use, how often you wash out the sponge (or change it).

It depends on how much coverage you need. I apply more product in the winter when I don't have a tan. That said, I find that one container lasts me a good 6 months. I usually have two shades: my face color and a bronzer color. The bronzer color last me even longer because I don't need very much. Now, I might not actually use this product a couple days out of the week...the days I use The Present. Still, I find that it's a good value compared to liquid make-up. Mineral is the only way to go. Hope this helps.

Wish they would make a bigger size- this one lasts me just 3-4 months with daily (relatively conservative) use...hope that helps!

Mine lasts 3-4 months with everyday use :)

I haven't finished my first purchase yet, but i've had it three months now and less than half has been used. it doesn't take much, especially if you're going for a natural look--it can be layered if you need, but i don't wear it that way. hope that helps.

I'm going on at least nine months with almost daily use. Still plenty of powder left although I did buy some replacement sponge applicators to switch out as the original was getty clogged.

I would say it lasts approx. 6 months with daily use.

It lasted about 4 and a half months for me.

I just bought my first container less than a month ago, but I have a friend who bought some last October and is still using the same container.

It works best if used with other Philosophy products, I tend to have a combination of skin type that's oilly and prone to breakouts, I use On a Clear Day, protection cream thats a primer, and also helps keep any bad stuff out and the good things in for my skin. I use the light colored sand makeup because it doesn't have any pink undertones. if you don't try the protection cream, you could also use the other primer from Philosophy to stop the shine from oilly skin type, but I haven't used that one.

yes i would reccomend this product...it has great coverage without looking cakey. I have light skin and i use beige when i am tan and the shade below when im not...I normally put some concealor over my blemishes and put the powder over..I have alot of red in my face and it covers it right up.

Hi! I am uploading a photo of myself (this is about as fair as I get, but I try to never get much darker), and I wear the beige color. My skin is fairly light, as you can see, and I have very dark hair and eyes, but I do get a tiny bit of summer color. The beige, however, is a dead on match for me (I thought it would be too dark, but the girl at the counter insisted and was right!). My skin is pretty normal (I live in the desert so it tends to be dry, but sometimes, especially in the summer, it feels a bit oily). However, I don't think the supernatural ever makes me look greasy, though, it just lets enough of my "true" self come through and has a nice glow to it. I'd say it's pretty awesome for combination skin.

I think this makeup is great for combination skin. I have fair skin, and supernatural's lightest shade was perfect for my summer color. Now that my summer glow is starting to fade, though, their lightest shade isn't quite light enough.

i used to use fairly light in B.E. too, now i use this in Sand. i like it much better. i think the coverage is better and it is not messy at all. hint: you can also use you B.E kabuki brush to blend Supernatural even more!

You really have to go to the store to try the colors. My sephora didn't have all the choices, so I went to Nordstrom and they gave me samples to take home and try (GO NORDIES!). This is probably the same store for you, right? At Florida Mall? Still I ultimately bought at Sephora. I have really oily skin and it works great for me. My daughter is not so oily, more combination, and she loves it. She is very fair and uses the Porcelain color. She uses it everyday and has zero problems. I think you'll like it.

I wear fairly light in Bare Esentuals, but I wear beige in the Supernatural.

I used to use fairly light in bare minerals and I switched to this philosophy foundation 7 months ago. I am redheaded with freckles and some redness and I use the natural. It has better coverage in my opinion, without hiding all my freckles and making me look one-tone like bare minerals would. I get told all the time my skin is glowing.

I use the Supernatural and have combo skin...I absolutely adore it. It doesn't make the dryer sections look flaky, and it mattifies the oilier sections. I use a big MAC powder brush to apply, however. I wish i could give you a color suggestion...I use natural, and I'm a redhead...but I will say that the first time that I bought this product, I went by the little color swatches on the screen, and I picked the right one.

I think the coverage is really good and you will find it may cover better than the BE. I too have combination skin and I have had no problems with this. I would say this might be a nice product to swtich on and off. I think it's great if you can have like two or three foundation and switch off. Not too mention depending on the situation or occasion, you may want something to give you a more flawless glowing look and this will do that for you. In terms of color, I think you would do well this the porcelain or natural. It depends if you have more yellow or pink to your skin. I would test it out in the store first. I highly recommend this though!

I also use fairly light in B.E. So with the Supernatural line I use Natural. It does work for combination skin and you can throw it in your purse for any touch ups throughout the day.

i have combination skin and tried supernatural but didn't like it. it doesn't give me enough coverage as bareMinerals and makes my skin look shiny a couple hours later. my skin is already oily so i don't need to use a product that enhances that. but philosophy also has a primer for oily skin that should be good to use as a base. it's call "never let them see you shine" or something like that.

I would suggest the Supernatural. I am your coloring and love the Supernatural.

I found the Bare Essentials to be a pain with the tapping and buffing. This is so much easier that you pretty much wipe it on. I think I used fairly light and have Porcelein in this

supernatural is perfect for combination skin.For the description of hair,skin and eyes I would suggest light.

I also used fairly light when I wore bare escentuals and I can wear either natural or beige in the supernatural. natural is a tiny bit lighter and has more of a neutral base, whereas beige is slightly darker and has a rosy base. But the ease of the puff applicator and the way it feels on the skin makes it a million times better than b.e. also great on combination skin.

I use Porcelain for a very natural coverage and then touch up with bronzer depending on how much sun I get.

i have combination skin and i LOVE it... i am not sure about which color though as i have tan skin, light eyes, and dark hair.... but i use the bronze color? i'd say go to a sephora and try the samples....

Go for it. Try the porcelain or the sand, depending on your skin's undertones. Sand would be for yellow undertones. I use the natural in the winter, and the bronze in the summer or while vacationing in Mexico. And don't forget, it has SPF 15 as well.

I'm very oily and this product left me looking very blotchy.

I have combination skin. I recommend making sure you are using a skin care system that works well (I was really pleased with the makeup optional kit for congested skin by Philosophy, and have alternated with the Lancome Primeordiale skin care). I recommend a makeup primer underneath.

I know that the philosophy web site gives a description of the colors and which skin tones it works best with. I went with beige, and it looks like it would be too dark, but when I blend it in, it is the perfect shade for me (blend as in brush into the skin).

I started out with Bare Escentuals and still use some of their products. They work well with the Philosophy make-up products also. I use either Fairly Light or Medium Bare Escentuals. With Philosophy, I prefer Natural because of the neutral undertones. I also use Bronze like I would have used BE Warmth. I find it is much quicker and easier to use the Philosophy Bronze. If you are still in doubt, log onto philosphy.com to see all of their colors and descriptions. Note: the stores don't usually carry all of the colors...just the most popular ones.

I also wear fairly light, but I can also wear light in Bare Escentuals. When I first tried out this foundation, I bought Natural, but found that it was a touch too light for me, so I paired it with a bronzer to match. Then I found out that their next darker shade is Sand and that works well for me. I think you should pick between Natural and Sand. I also have combination skin- oily t-zone, sometimes dry cheeks- and have found that this foundation works well for me. I hope this helps!

I like this product for combination skin - it keeps everything pretty much under control, moderating my usual shiney into something more like glowy. I'd test out the colors first though, if you are on the fairer side - My only complaint about the product is that as my slight summer color fades, the lightest shade is looking a bit too dark for me.

Supernatural is great for combination skin - it feels light and has caused me no breakouts in my problem areas - even with almost daily use.

I'm not sure which color to go with, they do blend well. But, I switched to supernatural from bare escentuals and LOVE the supernatural. MUCH easier to apply and great with combination skin. I have combination skin as well. I love this stuff!

I've been using this product all summer(which is usually my greasiest time of year) and it's been great. On days that I know I'll be outside I just apply lighter. I use Sand because anything that doesn't have a yellow undertone in it tends to make me look yellow.

I have combination skin and find Supernatural to be a terrific product. I use Natural Beige (Medium Beige in Bare Essentuals). Can't give you a tip on color.

I have light/medium skin tone with golden undertones and Sand is the color that worked for me. It also works on my friend who has a bit lighter skin tone so its pretty universal.

I use natural and it looks great.

I also have light-medium with yellow undertones and Beige is Perfect! Some beige's can be too light or pinkish - this one is just right!

I was using beige, but it was a little to dark for my skin, which is a light medium, I have switched to porcelain and its wonderful.

That I do not know but you should go in and try to do a match set-up. You can actually mix 2 colors together to get a better match.

I ended up buying both natural and sand. The natural is more on the light side. The sand is more medium. My skin color changes with sun exposure. I also use a bronzer with the natural foundation to darken the tone. I think that Philosophy foundation is the right foundation for yellow-toned skin. I read reviews by others that did not like the foundation for pink-toned skin.

The color match is perfect for my fair skin, without making me look washed out completely.

You can also take the entire top off and use a mini Kabuki or powder brush. I prefer using this method. I find the coverage is much better, and it's actually faster for me.

The way that I apply it is quick and easy! I dab/puff it around different sections of my face. For example, both cheeks, under my cheeks, forehead and a little bit on the chin and nose. After that, I take a big powder brush and blend everything around. Going around my whole face in circular motions. If I miss a spot or need more coverage then I'll repeat this on those sections. Also, another way.... is to take the top off and dab my brush in the container. Then I shake off the extra powder and then apply it to my face. The same thing that you would do with mineral makeup/foundation. The bad part about doing it this way is that you waste some of the product. since there isn't that much and it's expensive I try not to waste any . These are the ways that work for me. I've tried applying it as it is with the sponge but it looks cakey so I didn't really like that. You can still do it that way but afterwards you should still use a big brush and blend everything. I use my finger for the inner corners of my eyes and the corner of my nose to smooth it.

Yes, the powder goes through the sponge and comes out when you puff it against your face.

I hope this helps and makes sense. good luck! :)

I had the same problem, but once I figured out how to use it, this makeup became the simplest to use ever. I pat the sponge gently against my skin until I see a bit of the powder coming out. Then, I swirl it around my face. I wash my sponge every few weeks with a solution made of a little bit of Purity with water. Then, I replace the sponge every few months.

The first time I used it I was wondering the same exact thing. I turned it upside down, kept shaking it until the powder filled in the sponge to use it. I would press the sponge against my face until the powder actually came it. It worked after a couple of times.

The powder will filter through the sponge. With a new container, I usually have to dab the sponge against my face of the back of my hand for a little while to get the powder flowing. But once you get it started, you should have no problem with the flow.

If it isn't a new container and the powder stops coming out, trying patting the sponge against your face like a powder-puff to get some on your face and then use the sponge to blend it in. Or replace the sponge (Sephora sells replacements, 3 pack for under $4, I believe.)

I've hated foundations for all the reasons you ask about here. If you get a well-matched shade of this product, you'll be very pleased I think. It's finally made me a foundation wearer (and just in time too since I'm old enough to really need it). The coverage isn't heavy enough through the puff-sponge to really do the job as a cover-up for me, but i discovered that opening the container and applying a little to a blemish or under my eyes with a small brush does the trick beautifully. I LOVE this product.

This never looks cakey and orange. I use a concealer brush and dab on a bit extra on spots that need extra coverage, like redness or spider veins. Then I smooth everything once more with the applicator. My complexion is anything but flawless, but it looks pretty flawless with this product.

It provides minimal coverage, but it is very natural looking on the face.

You can use this product by itself or with your foundation. It does not turn you orange and it does great for covering up little blemishes on your face. I really love it and would not be without it.

this product last, but it is transferable to your clothes, not bad but a little, but its woth it because it covers inperfections and makes your face glow.

It gives a very natural look and its not too heavy when you apply the powder. As for transference, not much unles you are scrubbing your face. Water-proof especially when I apply eye drops, no streaking.

I have noticed that this foundation is sweatproof/non-transferrable. I have been using it before going to physical therapy where I often sweat. I can't tell you that it is waterproof but I have given it a considerable workout.

It is long lasting, maybe not all day, but for the most part gets me thru my workday

This product usually lasts me about 6 to 7 months. I love the coverage, its light and easy to apply.

I use mine almost every day and have just finished it about 6 months. The sponge application provides just the right amount so you get a nice, even coverage but it sure doesn't take much.

This lasts several months if not more depending on if you reapply it several times but I don't have to reapply this product often, maybe once if I am going to go out in the evening after a day at the office I might need a quick touch up, it goes on very lightly and reminds me of how my mineral products are in that they just last for a long long time. The only thing i'm not certain on durability is the sponge it comes with but I would switch to a Kabuki brush, it will last longer, get into difficult areas better and be cleaner (the sponge seems to hold/pick up the oils off your face from moisturizer) so it gets dirty kind of fast and starts to break down. I absolutely love this product though, it feels so light and good on my sking and isn't cakey but still gives great coverage, it's philosophy, what can I say, almost everything they make is magical!

The makeup lasts me over 3 months. I use it every day.

Natural is lighter.

The porcelain was too orangey on me, I like the natural better, it seems lighter.

In my experience porcelain is usually the lightest shade.

I have pale skin with mild to medium rosacea. I use "natural" and it covers it pretty well, but still looks natural.

I would guess that either Porcelain or Natural would be your best bet. I'm fair skinned with decently pink/red undertones, and porcelain works perfectly for me.

I didn't notice any smell to it.

no
