Pros:

feels light
good coverage

Cons:

makes my face look and feel super oily

brushes are to rough to the skin.

Looks great the first 20 minutes then caused me to breakout with cystic acne on the side of my cheek. I stopped using it for a week my skin has improved already.

Pros:

Amazing finish and coverage. Covers my dark eye circles wonderfully and makes my skin glow. But moreover, it COMPLETELY RID ME OF MY FACIAL ACNE AFTER HAVING IT SINCE AGE 11. Dozens of acne meds couldn't do this for me! I'm beyond satisfied!!

Cons:

Not a one! Love it!

I have had acne since age 11. I'm now 30. I was using MAC makeup and other expensive brands from fine department stores and my facial acne remained terrible, even with the use of Proactive Solution. Then I tried Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals, their makeup AND cleansing line, including face lotion for my dry spells. Within two weeks, others even noticed a difference in my complexion. It's been three months now and my face is STILL CLEAR without the use of any prescription drugs. I did start taking Solodyn last month to assist with chest/back acne (which thus far, has worked great). But I cannot sing the praises of Bare Minerals enough. I did once try another brand and it was awful, it sank into every pore/wrinkle on my face (and I didn't think I had wrinkles). The best brand to use for mineral makeup is definitely Bare Escentuals. I know not everyone may have my success with this product, but it's worth a shot! I have battled acne for years upon years and I am amazed, completely amazed at how my skin cleared up with this makeup.

Pros:

The idea of mineral makeup is appealing.
It's fragrance free.

Cons:

Made my skin itchy, looked completely fake, settled into every pore, line and flaw and broke me out. I looked awful.

Unless you have perfect skin already, I would't recommend this. It also can be irritating and itchy.

Pros:

I guess it works

Cons:

I was so allergic it looked like I had a sunburn

If your skin is sensitive don't use. I used it and my skin itched so much I took it off in the middle of the day.

Pros:

light, feels nice, covers blemishes

Cons:

caused horrible cystic acne!

Worth a try I guess for coverage, not really worth the money to see if it breaks you out.

Pros:

great coverage
sunscreen
lightweight

Cons:

does NOT control oil
can look "caked" on

I like how the powder is very finely ground but as an oily skin type it does not control oil at all, It made my skin super dewy, which I personally don't like. I perfer a matte finish,

Pros:

Large selection of foundation shades to choose from.

Cons:

Messy! Also this product contains bismuth which aggravates acne and can cause flare-ups. Also the primer can be very drying to the skin and cause dryness.

Can be costly due to the fact there is a different brush to use for every product you apply to your face. Made my face look dull without any kind of "glow" to it and caused me to have breakouts. Coverage was ok..could have been better.
