    This is the only foundation in the world I use, and have used the past 5 years. If it doesn't make your skin look good, the reason why is simple: Your skin is more than likely not in good shape and...

    I like the lightness of it, but it takes a lot of powder to cover blemishes. I like it though.

    Bare minerals was sold to shiseido in 2009, a company that to this day tests on animals! The coverage is too light and the price has kept going up.

    I really don't like this foundation. The packaging sucks.. the product sucks.. the price sucks. The coverage is terrible, there's pretty much no point in wearing anything at all. If you're looking...

    It's very natural, very easy to use and so it's great for people like me who doesn't want to look made up. It stood the test of hot hot humid weather too, the only make up I would wear on a beach...

    I tried this foundation because I thought it would be good for my skin since I tend to be oily and acne-prone. I really liked it at first, but over time I became more and more displeased. First, it...

    The packaging is immensely inconvenient and insures you will waste tons of the product and that it will get all over. The product provides no cover for redness or imperfections. It also tends to...
