A HG product for me. It was first used on me for my wedding 7 weeks ago and I was amazed at how well it covered and lasted. I went right out and bought it afterwards. And now when I see people...

When I first bought this foundation I wasn't all that impressed. I used it as a foundation for a couple months, and I just didn't like it. So, I went back to my liquid foundation (L'Oreal...

I have just the foundation in Fair, and don't think it's a miracle foundation like some of the reviewers, but I do like it. It feels light on my skin, like I'm just wearing a powder, but it gives...

NOT NATURAL! bareMinerals contains synthetic preservatives and irritants- such as parabens and bismuth oxychloride. Try AFTERGLOW cosmetics- they're everything bareMinerals should be, and better!

To avoid having the powder fly all over do the following: When you open up a new jar and it has the sticky thing on the top of the holes, don't remove it. Take a pin and poke about 3 holes (or...

This stuff is great! I have such fair skin I have had a very hard time trying to find a foundation color that isn't too dark. I have more of a pink undertone than a yellow undertone to my skin...

I started out loving this foundation but then it ended up being cakey on my skin. Also, I am a PPP and the lightest shade was no longer light enough (going from the summer months to fall/winter). ...

This is the best, most natural looking foundation I've ever used. It doesn't accentuate my pores like it does for some, but maybe it's because I follow with a dusting of MAC's blot powder...

I wanted to switch to more natural makeup and bought this from Sephora. I have very pale skin and red hair and Fair is still a bit too dark for me. To be fair, when you try it on your hand in the...
