Perfecting Powder Makeup

"I purchased this product and it made my skin even oilier then it was before I had to stop using it."

"Have to say I've tried many foundation and concealer Black opal is my favorite I'm truly topaz. I like the way it feel on my skin light not heavy and blends in pretty well with my skin tone. Thanks BlackOpal ..."

"I stopped using this foundation for some odd reason and just recently re-discovered why I loved it! The finish is gorgeous and to me it is full coverage instead of medium coverage. The value of this product (quantity, price and utility) is amazing. I own department store brands of foundation and I prefer Black Opal. I still love it!!! ..."

"A few months ago I decided that I wanted to start using foundation makeup again. For years, because of the type of work I did, I wore only lipstick or nothing. I discovered Black Opal on line. The shade finder helped me find my perfect shade. I love this makeup in the color "Nutmeg". I get complements when I wear it. It is easy to apply, smooth, natural looking and won't clog your pores.  ..."

"As much as I love black opal products, this particular foundation is misleading. BO states its for oily skin but when I purchased it and looked at the ingredients, it contains Hydrogenated Castor Oil. That oil alone is thick so I would NEVER want that in my foundation if I already have oily skin. ..."

"I ordered this in Truly Topaz & the color was a good match, but this makeup is not a powder; it's a cream with a very dry texture. I feel like the online description & the name of the "powder" makeup is misleading. I expected a powder or a powder finish, which I didn't get. Even though it's dry, it made my face extra oily & I broke out with acne on my cheeks. I DO NOT recommend this product.  ..."

"I purchased the Nutmeg shade and I must say that this is THE BEST SHADE & foundation I have ever used! I must admit, I have purchased almost all of the foundations & powders in this shade, as the quality is unsurpassable! I also have sensitive skin, & have not experienced any breakouts. As long as these products are available, I will be a devoted user and supporter of Black Opal! Thank you. ..."

"I AM HAZELNUT!!
After years of searching for the perfect foundation, I have finally found my match. Black Opal's Cream to Powder foundation in Hazelnut is perfect in every way imaginable -- color, undertones, coverage, texture and finish! Thanks Black Opal for addressing the specific beauty needs of women of color. I am hooked on your products for life!! ..."

"Im using Carob & i find this site very helpful as Australia does'nt even stock black products! Usually i would have to go into a really expensive shop just to find anything in my colour, this goes on easy & leaves me with a beautiful flawless black completion ..."

"This makeup is hard to find in Baltimore. Walmart stop selling it and rite aid cant keep it in the store. beautiful bronze is my shade. so i will be ordering on line soon ..."

"I love it! this is a must have if you are a make up lover,makes you skin look pretty. I wear beautiful bronze but,Walmart is the only place that usually carries it and they do not have my shade most of the time. It needs to be in more stores. ..."

"i love this foundation i use the beautiful bronz it leaves my skin looking flawless. the one problem i have is i think its too dry when applying i just wish it would be smoother to apply. but i still love it for my skin skin stays shine free ..."

"I recently purchased this foundation in the Truly Topaz and I have got to say that this is the most natural looking, non-makeup feeling foundation ever. It is outstanding... Im am also grateful that it does not have a sunscreen in it because my skin is allergic and irritated by sun screens in products.. Thank you... ..."
