    I don't understand so many negative comments, either. I have some Rosacea problems and have used Bare Minerals for at least 3 years. My skin has not had a flair up since I started using BE. Try...

    I was not impressed with this stuff. I'm relieved a lot of other people here feel the same way because it seemed like everyone I talked to loved it. It doesn't cover blemishes worth a crap. It...

    The powder looks more beautiful and feels less heavy than liquid foundation. I'm surprised by the amount of negative reviews on here. I don't have many skin problems aside from occasional pimples...

    I agree that this must be a love it or hate it product. It's fantastic for me - great coverage, easy to apply, looks natural, stays all day and looks very natural. I don't apply many layers it...

    Reasons why I hate this product: 1. packaging is horrible (not worth a cent) 2. coverage is minimal (don't bother to use it to cover up your acne or scars) 3. makes your skin dry 4. looks cakey...

    It hurts my heart a little that so many people dislike the BE. I think that it's a 'love it or hate it' product. I have been so lucky - if you call it that - to have dry skin my whole life. I...

    First of all, let me say that this review is about both the product and the attitude of those who are selling it. At the time I tried this, my skin was severely acne-prone. This stuff did NOT cover...

    Looks horrible in photographs. Not enough coverage unless you use many layers. Rubs off on clothing easily. I can usually tell when people are wearing BE. Not a fan.
