    This is one of the first foundations I used (when I was about 18), and I quite liked it for a while because it's very easy and quick to use and doesn't feel like anything on the skin. However, I...

    I seem to always have this in my foundation stash, so there have been times where I use something else, then come back to this every once in awhile. Then I get reminded of why I stop using it-it...

    I tried a free sample of Bare Minerals foundation which gave me horrible acne. I never buy again, not for me.

    I've tried to get on the mineral bandwagon a couple of times. It always starts the same - skin feeling light, looking glow-y. It also always ends the same - with my pores getting bigger and my skin...

    I used this foundation for about 2 years but not every day. When I first started, it worked wonderfully but as time passed by, it probably worsened my skin and started to look chalky. I attended...

    I totally fell for the infomercial-sucker:(. This made my dry skin even drier! The loose powder settled in any dry spots and did not blend in at all. The shade "fair" matched well with my NC15...

    Bare minerals is a decent product. It covers well and has a lot of pretty colors to choose from. It breaks out my skin after wearing it for a few hours, but I don't personally count off because...

    I have tried a few mineral foundations and this belongs to the category of "mediocre" ones. There are ones that give better coverage and offer a wider selection of colors while still being less...
