    Bare Minerals doesn't work for me. Mineral makeup is supposed to have good coverage, but BM doesn't really work for me. It also DOES clog my pores and makes me break-out. I use Everyday Minerals...

    Only looks good if you don't need to wear makeup in the first place. It's hard to get a good color match. Also, it made my face really itchy and hot about an hour of two after applying. It must be...

    So this is full coverage, to my surprise, if you take the time to layer it over and over. And don't try to speed the process along by getting more on the brush because it will almost instantly look...

    I sincerely dislike, no despise, all of BE's powders and foundations. As a woman of color, the ingredient in BE's powders and foundations, Bismuth Oxychoride, which oxidizes on the skin and gives...

    BE...what can I say? I'm not sure why people say it doesn't cover, it does. The secret is light layering. Your face has to be dry when you put it on, though, so if you have moisturizer, make...
