Love this foundation! Good shades, great coverage, and doesn't break you out.
The only con is that it tends to get all over if it isn't powdered/touched up once or twice a day.
One tip I have to give is that you should NOT use the application method it says to do on the can! It'll get all over if you just spray it all willy-nilly! Spray it onto your wrist and put the brush/your finger into it and apply it that way.

I have to admit I bought this after finding out it was the official foundation for the Twilight movies. I didn't actually see any of them, but the glowing flawless skin was pretty much a prop as far as I could tell. When Walgreens was offering them 2 for the price of 1, I had to give it a shot. I bought the shade "butter" because their wonderful website has a foundation shade matcher and have pretty much every brand in existence. And if they don't have yours, you can make a request. Easy!
First off, you need to watch the youtube videos the company puts out. There are two that I know of. That's really the only way to know how to do it because it's not quite as simple as spraying it right onto your face.
Second, as another reviewer mentioned, I think this makeup is best suited to women with dry or combination skin. It can feel a little greasy and I can see how the melting problem could happen. I have dry skin, so this was not an issue. In fact the greasiness was a bonus. It really was hydrating.
I have good skin except for ruddy cheeks, so it's key that I be able to apply foundation to only my cheeks and have it blend seamlessly, since it will basically be in stripes down my cheeks. This does that flawlessly. It mimics the texture and color of my skin so closely that even looking closely neither my mom or boyfriend could tell I had any foundation on.
The texture was what I imagine all those "whipped" foundations are going for, light and airy. This makes it blend very easily and it certainly does lend skin that "je ne sais quois" perfection and radiance. I usually spray into my hand, then just dab it on with my fingers. It's very important that you shake the can every single time you spray, not just once at the beginning, or the oil will separate out and you will get lightly tinted grease to smear on your face. The first few times I used this I was extremely displeased with the greasy light coverage, but once I started vigorously shaking it, it was a beautiful texture with perfect coverage. I imagine it's a bit like mixing salad dressing with this one.

NC25 Chinese, oily skin.
OMG *slap forehead* OMG. A few months ago, I started my "beauty routine shakeup"... I tested at zillons of counters, aisles, ordered BB creams from distant lands, learned to swap.. there's not many left to try. It all started b/c my FAVORITE Classified Cosmetics airbrush foundation was just a TAD too light for me (Y3) but the airbrush finish was just unbeatable on my oily, large pore, acne marked skin. So the freakin' irony is that I come across this Aero-Minerale spray at Ulta in "Butter" (at more than half the price!) to only learn it's from Classified Cosmetics repackaged.
Key tip: to not move the concealer underneath, I use the Sephora Airbrush #55 (or basically not a dense brush, maybe the MAC 187?) to buff out the airspray. If I use my good ol' makeup wedge (as I used to), I'll move the concealer coverage I need to cover my acne marks. If nothing else, this is my #1 key learning I got out of "beauty shakeup".

I have dry skin and this workes well for me. I'm also fair with both pink and yellow tones and redness in the T-Zone and cheeks,
I got the lightest shade Ivory. I also use the Primer Sheer and the Highlighter Girly.
The coverage is light, but enough to tone down my redness. It feels great on my skin. It holds up well for several hours.
The only thing I don't like: the spray getting all over my hand when I spray the sponge I use to apply.
I've seen this product come and go over the years. I hope it stays around this time for a while.

I have mixed feelings about this foundation. I've been jonesing to try a spray foundation. I refuse to look at the Dior at it's absurd pricepoint. Seriously, it would have to last at least a year and be the best thing ever for me to consider dropping $62. I don't know if it is made by fairies or with butterfly tears or what. Anyways, I applied Aero Minerale with a stippling brush which I found to be best for me. I also tried with a sponge which was also nice. The color match was great - warm without being yellow or orange. I found the coverage was fantastic and looked really, really good. Even with a primer, though, this did not last. About 3 hours in I could feel my skin getting tacky. It started to break down into pools in my pores. Six hours in it was literally running off my face. Obviously it transferred to anything it touched...glasses, phone, the wind, etc.
This may be better on someone with dry skin way up north but I kinda doubt it. I would not recommend for oily/combo/summertime/definitely not humid climate. I hate the feeling of hair sticking to my face. In addition this stuff smells like doughnuts. It is going back to Ulta. One thing I thought was brilliant about this line is they have a foundation converter on their website. You plug in a foundation (including the shade) and it spits out the Aero Minerale equivalent. Why every brand doesn't already do this is beyond me.
