    I hate this crap. I've bought this product twice and I hated it both times. FIRST: I bought it 4 years ago when I had moderate acne. My dermotologist recommend it. I was really hoping it...

    This product is to messy for me! The whole "swirl and tap method" does not work. Even though I'm careful with the product, I always end up getting it everywhere! Forget about traveling with this...

    In general, this does do the job that i wanted- i wanted something to not necessarily hide all my blemishes, but rather even out my skin tone because my face flushes red pretty easily, all the...

    No matter how I swirled, tapped, and blended I could not get this to work right on my combination skin. It settles in all my creases and doesn't cover blemishes. Worse yet, it LOOKS like I am...

    If you have oily skin, the foundations and powders from Bare Minerals can look okay. Otherwise, they'll settle into ANY fine lines you have, make your pores look enlarged, AND you don't get any...

    A HUGE disappointment! Like many other reviewers, I was sucked into the BE vortex by the infomercials. It seems that breakouts are a frequent side effect of this product, which I too experienced....

    Good coverage but caused itchiness and breakouts. It was difficult to match my skin tone as well. I switched to another mineral brand and the breakouts subsided.

    I really wanted to like it, but I simply could buy into this mineral make-up hype. Although I tried to apply it very light-handed exactly as required, it ended up looking caked up and strangely...
