Completely worth it!!
I am a teen and have horrible acne break outs and can't afford expensive make up. I tried everything! but it all made my skin worse...i got to the point i was embarrassed to go out in public because of my skin...well...then I saw this on t.v. and thought.. what the hayy...why not try it?? Even though i can't really afford it i decided it might be worth it!! So I got it and i fell in love with it! I can't tell i'm even wearing anything! I feel so natural!! And...most importantly..my acne went away..for the msot part. I still have a few blemishes every once in awhile. I ran out and had only a few bucks so I decided to try other mineral powder bases and I started breaking out again! My face got oily and broke out after just two days of wearing it!! I definitely recommend this!! It worked wonders for me!!! |

not so much
this product is okay, but I agree with several other reviewers that there are better mineral products. I emphasizes my already large pores, it makes my face break out really bad, & it makes my face burn if I sweat while wearing it. I bought my from QVC and waited too long to return it, so now I only use it if I am out of my other foundation. |

Not as good as some others
I would maybe like Bare Essentuals if they removed "bismuth oxychloride" from their products. It is a cheap filler ingredient that many are sensitive to. There are better MMU foundations out there without it. I really wish that this company would take this out of their line along with any parabens that are in some of their other products. Many people are more aware of ingredients now and I don't want certain things on my face anymore......Read about these on google if you are interested. This foundation also shows my pores much more than some others without bismuth....... |

This is a God Send for Moms!
I love this foundation, I can totally wear this, some lip gloss and mascara and feel totally beautiful. I have 2 small kids and never any time for myself, so taking 5 minutes to put on this foundation (which covers my really dark circles and red blotches perfectly) and mascara and slick on some gloss or light lipstick, it is just wonderful!! It stays on all day, looks perfect, which is something I can never say for regular foundation, and never feels heavy or goopy on my face. I truly love this product!!
