    I bought into the hype on this one. I have very oily skin, and this foundation has a strange unflattering sheen to it that accentuates every pore and line - even ones I didn't know I had! Being...

    This foundation looks good when you first apply it. However, if I start to sweat slightly, it would sting so bad that I feel like scratching my skin off. I have never had a similar reaction to any...

    This was the orginal mineral foundation that I tried and no many how others I try, this is the one I keep going back to. It covers seemlessly, stays put all day and has a nice glowy sheen to it. ...

    Bare Minerals has been my best friend. This foundation gives me great even coverage and since I have humongous pores it controls the excessive drench of oil that comes out of my face. For the most...

    I've used BE foundation on and off for years. I have pale skin that is hard to match in any brand of foundation. Fair #1 is a bit too light, but I found if I mix in a bit of Medium #3, I finally...

    I do not like BE foundation at all. I have never found a good color match, it accentuates my large pores, looks cakey no matter how light it goes on and it irritates my skin. If I were going to...

    I'm obsessed with bare minerals. I use so much of their stuff and love that they keep coming out with more. I usually get it from Sephora where the counter is not that hard to find.
