    The success of this product really depends on your skin type and what kind of coverage you want/need. I know you could say this about any foundation, but you need to be particularly careful with...

    At first, I was raving to EVERYONE about this product. It really does work, just like in the infomercials. The coverage is amazing and it makes your skin look flawless. But after a couple weeks of...

    This product gave me cystic acne. I liked the coverage and color but the ingredients like bismuth is bad.

    I like the color selection and the ease of application, but the finish is just wrong on me. I look like an android when I wear this makeup. Cover Girl and WnW's versions work best on me.

    I don't get all the dramatic negative reviews for this. I've used it for years, and it's one I always fall back on because of my oily skin. If you get the correct color and don't over apply it,...

    I give Bare Minerals a 4 star because it's kind of expensive. I really like this stuff with Fix+. I don't like a lot of make up on my face and this is perfect for me. I don't know about breakouts....
