gross ingredients

This product calls itself a mineral make-up, but contains barely any minerals! At $15, there are REAL mineral makeups online that are cheaper, offer better coverage, and actually help your skin. I'm sorry, but I don't want talc, and caranuba wax (ya know, the same stuff you wax your car with) sitting on my skin. Yuck!

Also. I couldn't blend this product well enough, it just didn't match my skintone. When I saw a picture of myself, I had the dreaded neck line, and was all shiny. Double yuck!

This is really good

Everyone should try this product! It's great covering up those unwanted blemishes.

Definitely don't recommend!!

I tried this product and after only two days of wearing it my skin broke out majorly!! I was us Bare Minerals but didn't have the money to go out and buy more so I though i'd try this...hoping it would work just as well and for a lot less money!! But instead of making me look great it made my skin even more oily than normal and I have broken out so much since i started using it!! I am definitely disappointed and don't recommend. Maybe its just my skin type i don't know.. so if you have my skin type, (oily, easily have acne breakouts, large pores, and live in humid areas so you tend to sweat) I don't recommend this for you at all!!
