People ask all the time what I use. This does NOT settle into pores like other mineral makeup. I also have acne prone skin and have never had issues with any Jane Iredale product. The color is VERY different from the loose, so don't expect to use them interchangeably. Looks even better over a primer. If you have oily skin, put Absence under this to be shine free all day. Looks super natural and photographs well. Even wore it at my wedding.
