    Hate hate hate hate. Does not control oil/shine, actually adds to it. Oxidizes on the skin and gives me an "orange glow." It itches, especially when you sweat. The color selection does not match...

    I got the starter set after being introduced to it by a friend, who it looks great on. On me, AWFUL. The product says it helps control oil/shine. Big fat lie. I think it irritates my skin further....

    This product was horrible on my complexion. I'm a MAC NC42. Bare Minerals made me look like The Tinman -- gave me a real metallic look. Made my skintone look greyish. It made my pores look HUGE...

    I'm torn over this product. I said that I would probably repurchase, but really it should be a maybe. I will continue to repurchase it unless I find something better. I'm not completely convinced...

    Meh. Definitely not worth the hype for me. Looks really unnatural and "made up". I'll admit that it looks fantastic on friends of mine, but I just can't do the tap, swirl, buff thing I guess. ...

    I love Bare Minerals foundation! I've been a loyal fan for three years. It is so lightweight that I don't feel like I have any make-up on. And just a little really evens out my complexion. I...
