    Bad. Very bad. For all the hype there is around this product, I was sorely disappointed! I've got almost oddly smooth skin, mostly due to how oily I am. BE has a slight shimmer, due to the...

    I was very excited when I purchased this. I was fueled by the informercial to drive over to Sephora and get the started kit. I will admit that I loved the finish of this product, but after a week...

    Yeah- I am not crazy about this stuff. I reach for it on certain days when my skin is moist-ish and I dont feel like using liquid. The coverage isn't that great unless you really pile it...

    This product is not ideal for women with larger pores or dryer skin types. The foundation gave a slight itch to my skin and settled in the creases and made pores look larger.

    Like others have said, BE foundation can be hit or miss. At its best, the coverage is natural and just subtle enough so that it doesn't look like I'm wearing much makeup at all. For me, this only...
