This is the first mineral foundation I've ever tried, and it does amazing things for my skin. I have very dry skin, so liquid foundations end up looking cakey on me, but this foundation is perfect....

This stuff is a waste of money. It dried out my skin, provided no coverage and was a waste of time and money.

I HATE it! It's cakey and does not match my skin at all! It looks completely unnatural. Do NOT waste your money on this!
