    I was so excited to try this product because I had heard sooo many great reveiws about it. I purchased a Medium Beige and the Mineral Viel from Sephora a couple months ago and couldn't wait to try...

    I'm not much of a fan of this and I think it is rather over hyped. I was eager to try it but it made my skin feel itchy and the makeup got shiny VERY quickly. The coverage also leaves much to be...

    I have pretty sensitive skin and this foundation has worked wonders for me. Thankfully It never irritated my skin or caused any break outs like some people have experienced. Just like most things I...

    I've bought this foundation along with the mineral veil two or three times now. I apply it over my liquid foundation and it creates and nice matte look. It covers all redness and lasts all day. I...

    If this foundation didn't make me sooooo shiny I would probably use it on a regular basis. I don't even have oily skin! The coverage is great though and the color match was awesome too.

    I really like these products. I use the foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush and mineral veil. It's not perfect, but for me it beats liquid foundation. I do still use Benefit Boing just under...

    I do like this product because it goes on very natural with good coverage. But when I put it on it gives me a rash. It only last about 10 mins and then I'm fine for the day. I'm really bummed that...
