Pros:

-natural
-light
-gives skin a healthy luminous appearance
-natural ingredients

Cons:

-pricey
-takes longer to apply than liquid foundation
-less coverage

This product is fantastic! It has helped to clear up my cosmetic-induced acne, and makes my skin look natural and radiant. I used to struggle with cakey-looking makeup, and I had a hard time finding makeup that wouldn't look orange on my light skin. This makeup has solved these problems for me. I have had cystic pimples in the past, and I can assure you that I have not gotten any cystic pimples from this makeup. I recommend this to anyone looking for more natural and youthful-looking makeup.

Pros:

Perfect coverage
Lasts a long time
Looks very natural
Blends beautifully
Quick to apply

Cons:

A little messy if you're not careful

Since I began using bare minerals I literally have had strangers complimenting my skin almost every day. My acne and pimples have decreased because of how light this makeup is. The first time I applied the foundation on a giant red zit on my forehead and when I stepped back from the mirror and I couldn't even see it...I nearly cried. I also sleep (yes, sleep!) in this makeup pretty frequently and in the morning it still looks good! I've heard people complain that it's expensive but the makeup does last a long time and it's fantastic, so it's really more like an investment than a purchase. If you follow the video tutorial that comes with the foundation starter kit exactly you can't mess up. Tip: take a "before" and "after" pic of yourself to really see what this does to your skin.

Pros:

Amazing coverage (with their brushes)
Looks natural
Lasts a long time
Skin-friendly

Cons:

Needs to be reapplied
Somewhat expensive

It's definitely worth buying,but buy the MATTE version of it. The matte version gives thicker coverage yet it still looks flawless. Its better to do the swirl-tap-buff method for the most natural look,but you could have great results without doing it as well. The matte formula covers so nicely. It may look cakey and dry at first,but the natural oils in your skin mix in with the makeup and create a beautiful,flawless finish to your skin(it looks natural and great) :) I bought all of my brushes and powders in a starter kit for $50 in November,and I still have most of the powders left; I bought the mineral foundation for $28 though.This stuff is amazing!

Pros:

great coverage
doesnt settle into pores
doesent clog pores
natural glow
does not break me out
easy to use
long lasting
non drying

Cons:

it could be a little cakey over time
could be cheaper

I like the finish, you think its powder but it is not drying at all. silky finish. I don't think this has made my light acne better, but it did not make it worse.

Pros:

- looks natural
- doesn't clog skin
- doesn't cause breakouts
- hardly any acne since I started using it (I guess all of the other makeup that I've tried was too harsh for my acne-prone skin)

Cons:

- price (compared to the cheapies), but it's actually pretty reasonable

Amazing stuff! I have had acne for 17 years since I was about 13. This foundation looks natural. It covers up most of my red marks fairly well. Sometimes I use a light concealer if BareMinerals doesn't do the trick. But the best part is that I don't break out anymore. I hardly need to cover up anything anymore. I truly believe that this product is a Godsend! I haven't broken out since I started using it a few months ago. Soon enough, I might not even need it. My skin is VERY happy! Note: I use the matte formula, not the original.

Pros:

Covers everything
Heals acne?? ( a little bit)

Cons:

Need to wash makeup brush a lot
expensive

This is probably the best makeup for acne-prone skin. It is completely non-comedogenic, and I feel like it actually improved my skin condition and dried up some pimples. Also, I noticed that sometimes I come back really drunk and don't feel like washing my face and i go to bed, it doesn't mess up my skin like other makeups did by leaving it on over night.

Pros:

-doesn't feel thick on my face
-it really does cover my blemishes well (with concealer brush)
-looks much more natural than other makeup
-lasts most of the day when i use the mineral veil on top
-doesn't seem to make my skin worse
-some stores will apply it on you for free to see if you like it and to find the right color

Cons:

-expensive at first when you have to buy the brushes and mineral veil (i suggest getting the starter kit)
