    This product makes the pores on your face look HUGE. But the worst thing about this product is that it contains Bismuth Oxychloride, which causes cystic acne. I can't believe the manufacturer...

    Somehow oil slick inducing to my dry skin? I didn't even know that was possible. Returned it to sephora after one use. I gave it two lipsticks because I've heard that people with oily skin...

    I bought this and applied in with an angled powder brush to get the best coverage. It went on okay but as someone with oily skin, it is NOT the foundation for me. My skin looked extremely oily...

    I really wanted to love this product, and I've tried it twice, but it always leaves me disappointed. The coverage is wonderful, and it looks great, but it gave me horrible break outs along my jaw...

    While I like mineral make up, this one was not for me. At first it felt airy but it seemed as time went on, the product got heavier. It eventually was suffocating my skin and left it feeling caked,...

    Love love love bare minerals products! I did find that I liked the pressed version better than the loose just because I'm awful with applying loose foundations. But if that's what you like best,...

    I hear a lot of people saying that they get ACNE using this. My question is... do you clean your brushes AT LEAST 2x a week? If not, THAT is why you have acne.
