    I actually prefer foundations with a lighter texture and a sheerer coverage, so this product (and all other Bare Minerals ) are perfect for me. The lightest shade matches my difficult-to-match...

    I hated this stuff. It barely gave me coverage and it looked like I had a cakey, powdery face. I can see how it would work for some people, I guess...but it really didn't work for me.

    Let me first say that I'm not a big powder fan, because well... I feel like they make me look like a powdery old lady and in general wearing powder seems to draw attention to wrinkles. BUT I was...

    I have a love/hate relationship with Bare Minerals. Some days it looks absolutely awful, while other days, like today, it looks fantastic. I don't know what is it is about this makeup that yields...

    Me: n/d, glasses. Pros: easy to find (the stuff's everywhere, it seems like!). Does really cover imperfections if you apply carefully with a SOFT brush (see cons to follow). Illuminating- not scary...

    I would never try this again! I went to Sephora and tried i to see what the hype was all about. The powder went on cakey and accentuated some of the fine lines that I have on my face. I also...

    The color matched perfectly with my skin and blended very easily. It is also very easy to build and covers the redness around my nose and under eye circles easily and without caking. The product...

    I am FFF with dry skin and a tiny bit of rosacea on my cheeks. I really hated paying for the special brush, the concealor, the fondation and the setting "veil" powder, but all the infomercials had...

    This. Product. ROCKS! Ok, so the day before school starts, I got a HUGE FREAKIN' ZIT smack dab in the middle of my forhead. I put some minerals on and didn't get any comments on it all day.
