I absolutely wanted to love this product. I love the idea of a more natural alternative to powder foundation since I tend to breakout to many facial products. Drugstore or high end, if it does...

So, I initially bought this out of curiosity. I'm an original bare minerals loose powder foundation user, but it's far too messy. I bought this in golden medium. Now the colour is so yellow in...

NOT a fan. I've used the loose foundation for years and love it. I tried this because I was told it was more moisturizing for my "mature" skin. It is messy to use and the powder sits on the top of...

Not impressed at first; however, after going to the boutique, and being shown how to properly apply this product, I became addicted.

I was hesitant to try this, since I never liked the original Bare Escentuals loose powder foundation. I always felt that it looked cakey and metallic. Plus, I don't love how messy loose powders...

I like this foundation! I love that it is fast and easy to apply with the Perfection brush. Just a few taps on the powder, then a few to knock off excess product, applied in 'long graceful strokes'...
