    I have been using bare minerals for 2 months. I have to admit that it is waaay better than liquid foundation if you have acne prone skin. I was very happy about my purchase until I saw fine...

    I don't love this. The colors (I got the medium starter kit) is too pink, so forget about the one size fits all idea that they spew out on the infomercial. Finish is a bit to shimmery for my taste....

    I think that the key to using this foundation is to use it on moisturized skin. I too feel itchy and tight when I use it on bare skin. But if I moisturize, and let it sink in for a good 10 minutes,...

    HORRIBLE for OILY skin. By the end of the day I looked as if I had baby powder on my face, from the talc they use in this powder. But, the coverage is decent and buildable.....although, i'd...

    This product did absolutely nothing but irritate my skin. It made me feel itchy whenever it was on and made my skin turn red. It's really pricey. I found their Starter's Kit pretty pricey too...

    I'm a recovering acne sufferer. I am constantly trying to keep it at bay. However this made me breakout, especially along the jaw line. Be warned.
