    I absolutely hate this foundation! I will admit that for the first 2 days that I applied it, my face looked flawless and beautiful. Then my face broke out in cystic acne all over. I have never...

    When I first used BM, I thought it was going to be the answer to my prayers. It didn't seem to break me out and it didn't make me shiny or orange. I found it wonderful that they had a shade that I...

    It doesn't cover well, at all, and looks 'cakey' and powdery on the face. It made my skin so oily! I didn't like it at all!!!

    I love all of the BE powder products. The foundation powder provides good coverage. You do have to layer in the spots that you need extreme coverage. I like it during the summer especially because...

    I love mineral foundations, but not this one. It leaves my skin shiny (due to the bismuth oxychloride). #1 was a perfect color match and I wanted to love it, but alas, no. Some of their products...
