    This product was my first mineral makeup, at the time it felt pretty amazing. Looked pretty natural, coverage was buildable, and lasted pretty much throughout the a whole day out (around 5-8 hours)...

    Not a big fan of this product line. The mineral sinks in onto my pores and doesn't do what they have been advertising. I don't mind the mineral veil as it brightens my skin after application but...

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Bare Minerals! By far, the best make-up I have ever used. I use the matte foundation, because it helps with the oil and shine . Bare Minerals helps control my acne breakouts and oil....

    I had high expectations about this foundation but unfortunately it looked horrible on my skin. It made my skin look shiny and even kind of glittery in a strange sort of way. It made my already oily...

    It makes my skin itch even when i use a tiny bit. Looks good initially but wears off unevenly. I much prefer my Dior airflash because it looks natural and lasts long. The only thing that's good...

    I have been using Bare Minerals powder foundation for over 6 years. It is by far the best foundation I have ever used. It hides anything, but it doesn't look like I have anything on my face. I...

    Zinc Oxide in the concealer cuts down on demodex, the rosacea and acne causing parasite.
