i am rating this 4 star because it has a very peculiar smell that doesn't go away. I don't know if it the natural smell of the product or what, but to me it is VERY unpleasant and again lingering...As far as coverage, I WAS a BE mineral makeup women, at 55 years old the mineral makeup was settling in my fine lines, especially around my eyes. I just got this about 1/2 ago, sprayed it on my Italian complexion and love the look and the coverage, I bought R4 and it looks good, I might try the next R color to see what that is like-and this is 1/2 the Dior price! I don't know how long it lasts-oh, i have dark brown hair-use the headband! or it looks like you have roots!!!!
