    I've been using mmu for approximately 7 years; prior to that, powder foundations. I live in the deep south and am one of those women who is always hot, whose my face perspires a great deal. At 53 I...

    The original BE is horrible (gives a 'tin man' look, irritated and broke my skin out, made me very itchy, oxidised, orange) but the matte one is really great. I got an near-perfect colour match for...

    I have pretty dry skin, so I was sceptical at first about using so much powder. After a year and a half, I can say that I actually prefer it over liquid foundations. It's lightweight and it doesn't...

    I've been using this foundation for more than a year now, hoping mineral foundation would be easier on my skin -- wrong! It might just be me, but I always get that cakey face look after I apply it,...

    I went through a BE phase, mainly because of their marketing which claims their product is all natural and "pure enough to sleep in"...buyer beware!! Reports have shown that the bismuth oxide in...

    This is going to be a good option for those with oily skin, period. Yes even though people may claim that the original formula may not dry you out it doesn't matter; powder is always going to be...

    I used this years ago. It wasn't bad. But there are other products out there that are wayy better. I've switched to powder foundations/tinted sunscreens.

    Talking about BE as a whole Foundation powder, the coverage is just not high enough for me. I like at least medium becos I have lots of redness around my cheeks and chin, with BE I have to really...

    Despite being colour matched in a BE store, this gave me a bizzare metallic glow and just didn't look the right colour at all. It also made my face itch like crazy and brought me out in tiny...

    This is OK, not the best powder foundation I've used. It just didn't seem to provide the coverage that I needed and my skin felt very dry after using it.
