    This foundation was terrible, flaky, and cakey on my normal-to-dry skin. It looked even worse with moisturizer underneath. I returned it the next day. Never again.

    I would not say that there was anything WRONG with the Bare Minerals but I don't think it's any better than any other makeup. I was not impressed at all. For the price you should get a lot more and...

    For the price you pay, it's not worth it. Some of the ingredients they use still make me break out, and can be irritating. Also, it gives you this weird shiny look, and makes my pores look...
