    I'm not a massive fan of this product because it simply doesn't give me the coverage I need or last the day on my oily oily skin. Then there's all the doubt surrounding the safety of bismuth so I...

    I used it for awhile but then found it didn't work all that well. It also took so long to buff and apply! I still use the Bare Vitamins skin revver upper. I like that and I am one of the few...

    I guess you either love it or hate it. I used it for a while and it was great, then I did some research and learned that it is not all natural ingredients and I do NOT want to sleep with it on. ...

    You know what's funny? I've had mostly all great experiences with mineral makeup EXCEPT for with this one. And bare escentuals is suppose to be the pioneer in MMU. No color matches my skintone and...

    If you're expecting to look like the cover of a magazine, this isn't for you. I like it because it evens out my skin tone and does a well enough job of covering up the hyperpigmentation of acne...

    I love the look that this product gives me, but I don't like how you apply it - the powder goes everywhere, especially the darker one when you just need a little in the lid but lots seems to end up...
