    Bare Minerals turned my skin into a nightmare. I got cystic acne along my jawline and I had to pile more on to cover up the uglies... which led to more breakouts! What a vicious circle. I...

    I used this for most of last summer, so I think I can give a pretty good review on these products. The blushes were amazing. The eyeshadows were too much of a hassle (for me) to use...

    This is the first mineral foundation I ever wore and probably the worst. This got so blotchy on my cheeks and clogged my pores. Although, my friend wears this and it looks really good on her skin....

    Bare Minerals/Escentuals suck! The foundation magnifies every single poor, and that "luminous" look people talk about, looks more like a DIRTY face to me. It's also really messy. I can't believe I...

    This product deserves much better reviews than what it is currently getting. The only thing wrong with it is that it does not last all day on my very oily skin. However, it is the only foundation...

    I should mention I am not a fan of mineral makeup in general. I prefer liquid foundations. However, this gives okay medium coverage. I feel like it looks unnatural in sunlight, especially on my...

    this make up not only is expensive, but it's toxic for the skin. I followed the direction given and buffed on a very tiny amount of mineral powder with a kabuki on my face and to my horror, i look...

    The matte mineral foundation is pretty good; it has really good coverage. The mineral veil looks good because it perfects your skin, but maybe Im not blending it in well enough or using too much...
