Love it
I have used Bare Mineral for many years! It is light weight & covers well. I was introduced to this makeup when it first was developed - its perfect for my skin.
Excellent
I've been using this foundation for over 20 years. It's the best, looks great, buildable, and doesn't irritate my skin
I love it!

Perfect product
Holy pores!
OMG, my pores are magnified like in a 10x mirror! It highlights every imperfection in my skin. I'm so disappointed; I had high hopes for this product. I also did the color match, but the color recommended is way off (too light and pink).
