Since a friend of mine had to close down another Merle Norman store in San Jose, I have been going here. The owner of the store is great and so is her husband. She is full of information and always gives away a free gift with any purchase. Since I had to have radiation on my head, my skin is blotchy and has discolored spots,but the pressed powder even makes me look flawless. I used to use a department store brand when I was doing some modeling but this line of makeup is better quality and well worth the price.Beth from Sunnyvale
