    I have used bare minerals now for two years with mostly wonderful success...however, I would dearly love to know how people get such wonderful coverage out of it. I do like it, and I do enjoy it, I...

    Let me start this review by saying that I do NOT have oily skin. I have normal skin with occasional hormonal breakouts. It seems like the people who have so many problems with this makeup do have...

    This is the WORST product for acne prone skin. I don't care what Allure or Sephora says.... it's all marketing. I used this product for several months and my skin was horrible, but I never thought...

    After seeing this product on those informercials, I thought that it was just a scam. I have always used thick liquid makeup because powder never covered enough. This works like magic! The coverage...

    I really won't use any other foundation or powder on my face. It looks natural, feels light, not cakey, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. It's quick and easy. I've cut down applying my makeup...

    I really wanted this to work, but it didn't. I followed the directions with swirling the brush, tapping, etc. It just looked weird on my skin, but that didn't last for long- it just didn't hold up...

    I got this in medium and tan (NC35-40) and it looked dirty on my skin. It also made me itch like crazy and break out as well. I'm sure this worked for some people, but definitely not for me.

    I felt that this product did nothing to cover up minor blemishes or cover ANYTHING at all! I have oily skin, so after wearing it for about 2-3 hours, my face was so shiny from wearing this stuff....

    For some people this works and for some people it just doesn't. This product does not work for me. Many people say using a mineral foundation is better for your skin and helps make sure your pores...
