More pigment per square inch! Unlike traditional pressed powders which are transleucent and used as a finishing powder, Colorescience's very concentrated pressed mineral pigment gives more coverage than any other formula. Can be used to cover all types of skin challenges, even varicose veins. Less is more, so use sparingly at first, then layer. Compare Colorescience pressed minerals to all others that call themselves pressed minerals and you will see a huge difference. Many other pressed minerals leave a dull finish on the skin that looks gray, unhealthy and lifeless. Colorescience compacts leave the skin looking young, healthy, and vibrant. For All Skin Types!
