Web ID: 2202266A big shame to discontinue this powder
It's very interesting how mixed these reviews are.. I have extremely oily skin, I shine through everything, and have tried many types of face powders/powder foundations. I finally came across this powder, which was by far, the best I have tried.. and then it got discontinued. It's a huge shame. This powder kept me oil free for much longer than all the other powders (Dark deep shade) so... now back to the drawing board... Absolutley gutted.

Love, Love, Love the coverage!
I love the coverage of this powder. It does not make my face look orangy or red. I was told that this item was being discontinued. Please, please do not discontinue this color (dark deepest). It goes perfect for women that have a dark complexion such as myself. It always seem like when you find something that works for you, they go and change it...
Disappointed with this product
I am very disappointed with this pro longwear powder. This was recommended by 2 different Mac staff, as an alternative to the Select Sheer Pressed powder. It doesn't give the same effect I got with the select sheer pressed powder. With select sheer pressed powder it blended in nicely with my skin tone and kept my skin smooth and oil free the whole day. However with prolong wear it doesn't blend in with my skin tone- it leaves a whitish effect on my face, and my skin feels oily within a few hours of using it. Also it is not as smooth as sheer pressed when trying to get some on lot the applicator yo apply on my skin. I don't understand why select sheer pressed powder was discontinued as it was just so perfect for my skin. Mac should have continued to produce it alongside prolong wear, giving people that option to choose whichever one works for them. The same tone was recommended by 2 different sales staff.

Not long wearing
It's easy to apply and looks your skin flawless but doesnt stay long.

Poor product & Hate all the glitter!
Horrible powder. Doesn't manage shine nor keep foundation set for more than one hour. Overall seems pretty useless and a huge waste of money. I will not purchase again. I hate all the sparkles it leaves all over my face as well. I don't want glitter everywhere!
Bring back the select sheet powder
I am desperately searching for a replacement powder for my beloved select sheer powder which was my favorite powder! This is definitely not it. I tried it in store and bought it - came home and my face is blotchy and I am missing the finish of my beloved select sheer powder. This one is going back to the store. Please bring it back - so many customers miss it!!!!

We're listening and we'll share your wishes with our team for future consideration. Have you tried Next to Nothing Powder/Pressed? It's super sheer and gives a fresh finish (it isn't as matte as the Pro Longwear Powder). We'd love to hear your thoughts and talk about alternatives- chat with one of our Artists via the Live Chat icon so we can best assist you.
Shade medium dark
I used to use pressed powder NC30 but the discontinued that item. It was hard to find the closest color but this shade looks similar. I still miss old ones.
BRING BACK SELECT SHEER PRESSED POWDER!!!
BRING BACK SELECT SHEER PRESSED POWDER!!! Until you do, or come up with another similar alternative, I will be refraining from buying any MAC products. This is nothing similar to the old pressed powder. It feels heavy. Feels like my skin can't breathe. I HATE it. Enough so to stop purchasing any more MAC products of any kind u til they return our customer favorite select sheer pressed powder.
