    OMG! This stuff is horrible! Gives your skin the shiney plastic look and I don't feel it lasts! Not to mention the mess it leaves with dust everywhere OR the nano particles you are breathing in....

    Let me start out by saying I have watched and watched and watched the infomercial until that was my fall asleep show. Finally one day over my Mother's house we saw it on QVC and ordered it. She...

    Fair is an okay colour for my very light skin. Even it is cool toned, it suits my warm skintone. NW20 or NC20. It looks very natural for few hours. My skin is mature, but oily T-zone. After few...

    Hmmm....perhaps one day when my skin ISNT so unpredictable I'll definitely buy this again. As other reviewers have mentioned, you can't really have bad skin if you wanna use this. If you don't then...

    I absolutely love bare minerals. It isn't a ton of coverage but it def covers up what it needs to. It helps even out my skin tone. I think the thing I like the most about it is that you don't feel...

    Expensive. Makes me break out. And has no staying power. I am definitely going to buy the NARS powder next...that looks more promising... so dont buy it!

    I'm one of those people this powder did not work for. I bought this from QVC a few years ago and after the first use I started getting breakouts. I stopped using it right away. I went back to just...

    Great no-makeup look. But since I have lingering acne scars & huge pores on hot humid days (tropical country), this thing slides right off my face 5mins after I leave the house! Great if you live...

    I've been using Bare Escentuals for about 4-5 years now. When I was in high school I had really bad oily/acne prone skin, which unfortunately left me with uneven skin w/ some acne scars. I still...

    I've been using this for about 5-6 years now, and I'll admit, you can't really have bad skin to use this. Its coverage isn't dense enough to really cover too much, which is unfortunate. That...
