~I Love it! Its super hard to find my shade (Honey Beige) ~The brush it comes with is too harsh and doesn't blend it well on your skin (used my ecotools retractable brush) ~It didnt break me out at all and I have VERY sensitive/acne-prone skin I say its worth a try ladies!

Pros:

covers pimples and blemishes
stays on all day
reasonable price

Cons:

hard to clean off
increases oily skin
contains bismuth oxychloride and dimethicone which can clog pores and cause blemishes

I bought it because my sister who had recovered from acne prone skin was using it, and it seemed to work fine for her. I had borrowed hers once and used my own brush and the tone of the makeup had blended in well and stayed on all night. However when I wore it in the day, my skin became increasingly oily and it was hard to clean off. I could also see small pimples forming in places which aren't very common for me. So I've stopped using it.

Pros:

- Nice, even and buildable coverage
- Easy to apply
- Stays matte for most of the day
- Easy to find
- Comes with a little kabuki brush for even application... buffs it on really nicely
- It's available at a lot of different places (Target, Woolworths, a lot of chemists, etc.)

Cons:

- Doesn't come in a huge range of tones, especially for people with yellow tones
- Doesn't have as much staying power as a more expensive foundation

I've been using this foundation for a few months now and it hasn't broken me out to date. I have fairly sensitive skin so I was kind of skeptical about using it, but for a drugstore foundation it is really nice. It goes on evenly and you can build it up for more coverage. Perhaps not as fantastic as more expensive mineral powder foundation, but as somebody who doesn't have a small fortune to spend on makeup, it has been great for me. I have a friend with extremely sensitive skin that breaks out into sores, and I suggested that she should try this one... she has been using it religiously since and swears by it, because it is one of very few products that don't irritate her skin. I'd say it's especially good for people who live in smaller towns and locations that don't have many brands of foundation available that they can actually use without fear of their face turning into a mess. I prefer not to order online because I'm useless at choosing the right shade, and I'm also incredibly impatient.

Pros:

-looked like I wasn't wearing makeup
-matches skin tone
-didn't break me out
-easy to apply

Cons:

-if you're wearing a moisturizer or acne lotion that dried overnight when you put it on, it looks cakey and doesn't blend.
-messy

I think this is worth using. It worked for me but may not for others.

Great store brand mineral foundation

Pros:

Buildable coverage
Great for a drugstore product
Can give either Light or Full coverage depending how much you apply.

Cons:

The brush that comes with it is not very good - I would suggest buying your own Full face or Kabuki brush to apply :) But the brush is good for emergancies

I really love this foundation! To apply it correctly and get the full coverage you should really use your own Full face brush or Kabuki brush to get greater results. I find the one that comes with it would be an okay alternative if it was an emergency if used correctly, with lots of care and time. It only takes me about 5 minutes to apply this all over my face, I like to slowly build up the coverage to a medium-full coverage. You MUST read the sticker (instructions) and packet to understand how to apply it properly to get the best results. Once you learn the trick its really easy to put on without looking cakey or weird. All you have to do is read the instructions and LESS IS MORE~! That rule goes with any mineral foundation.

-Matte finish
-Easy to blend
-Price
-Didn't clog my pores

Cons:

Pros:

It blends easily but the coverage doesn't last throughout the day, dont wear it to work. Cheaper than most mineral powders

Cons:

It doesnt wash off easily. It made me break out worse than before I used it. Made my face very oily when i had it on

If you have any kind of pimples dont use this product because it will only make it worse. There are better mineral powders out there that wont make u break out

Ok
Color selection sucks. More for pinky girls. Good coverage.
