    I really wanted to like this. I'm on Accuatne, with severely dry skin now. I figured mineral makeup would stay put (when I had extremely oily skin, it always ended up coming off when I blotted...

    This product did absolutely nothing for me. First of, the coverage was not nearly as full as I hoped it would be. I found myself having to cake on tons of it to cover up my blemishes and after...

    I don't usually like powders because they can be messy and I hate cleaning brushes but I have to say this is an excellent foundation. It matches my skin tone to a tee. It smoothes out unevenness...

    I find that BE's coverage is great for those with normal -oily skin (with no acne) as it gives a luminous finish if topped off with a lithe mineral veil. Love how it gives me a dewy finish. I hv...

    I have been using BE for years and I believed all the hype. First of all, my suggestion to those who find that the coverage is lacking is to use the BE "bisque" with the foundation, it's a very...
