    I used this foundation ten years ago in high school. Abruptly I got large cystic acne marks and I didn’t figure out it was this until I stopped using it. I have to this day scarring on my face from...

    You know, this would happen to me! It looked great. Absolutely wonderful. Had good coverage and a natural, glowy finish. My husband even kept looking at me every now and again and commented...

    If it wasn't for so many mentions of 'Shelbey Wilsons' Youtube tutorials on here, my curiosity might never have been piqued and I might never have figured out how to successfully apply a powder...

    I've been testing this for over a year and I am NOT a massive fan of this product. WHAT I DON'T LIKE: This powder looks good on me only when I use a small amount but then I don't get the needed...

    Absolutely AWFUL. Highlighted pores (I’ve never seen them look SO bad on initial application), made me itch, poor coverage, caused breakouts and just generally looked horrific. I’d rather wear...

    ETA April 11, 2024: They've changed the formula. Since a while back the main ingredient in this powder foundation is zink oxide, instead of titanium dioxide. Not good news for those of us with...

    It is hit or miss for me with mineral make up. I decided to give this a whirl again since I'm older and my skin is changing. Plus, I like to have something fast to apply on days that I don't have...

    I love Bare Minerals. Although I don't apply it properly, I still love it. You've got to make sure you purchse the real product and not the knock-offs though. There's buildable coverage, spf and a...

    So I was a little fearful since this has Bismuth in it. I had tried the loose Matte from Bare Minerals and it's just okay. I wear bare minerals blush with no breakouts and it has bismuth in it, so...

    I have oily skin prone to spots still at my age. I can only used the powder. Only annoying bit is that I keep dropping it everywhere! Very good coverage and you can't notice it
