    I have the started kit, and I am dissapointed. I think this product marketing is misleading (it doesn't cover much) and I think it's all hype. For me the product doesn't cover acne scars, it gives...

    I was very excited to try this product, but I think overall I was unimpressed and somewhat disappointed. It was messy, the product didn't provide very good coverage, and I found the price to be...

    The lack of cool coloring in BM annoys me, not everyone looks normal with a "candlelight glow" furthermore the overall selection of shades really suck. Not many other makeup gets away with so few...

    The Bismuth in this product made my face itch like crazy and turned it red! Nasty stuff! I will stick with Everyday Minerals for mineral makeup.

    This is my HG foundation. I'm in my 40's and have some fine lines. It does not accentuate the lines, which was my biggest worry. Make sure you use a good moisturizer and let it soak in/dry...

    If you hated bare minerals foundation (like I did) because it was too shiny looking or dirty looking, I REALLY suggest you try everyday minerals makeup. It's sooooo much cheaper, and they offer a...

    Tried this mineral makeup first - this is NOT for anyone with oily skin, aside from it being too shiny - it turns my face an orangey color once the oil breaks through. Too expensive for the...
