Best I've tried so far.
I've been using bare minerals for years. There was one day I forgot to buy a new one and I had to buy something random from there drugstore, and you can definitely tell the difference. When I first got acne as a teen i would use mac, covergirl, or something i'd try at the drugstore. I always felt it made my skin worse. When I switched to bare minerals I could feel a difference because it didn't feel so caked on my skin, and it didn't seem like it was clogging my pores and in turn making my acne worse. If my acne get worse it's usually from other factors and not this make-up (i've been using it for years so that's what i'm assuming). The only time it has a cake-y look or feel is when my skin is just dry due to me trying to control a breakout with products or a change in regimen. If you want something that's light weight and controls redness (it really does a GREAT job at that!!!) try this.

great for oily acne prone skin.
I have acne prone skin and have suffered for years until i used bare minerals. The only gripe i have is that the coverage is very light but the more i use it the less breakouts i get so the coverage at that stage doesnt overly matter. Iv tried other makeup and end up reverting back to bare minerals. I recently bought estee lauder double wear which gives awesome coverage but again iv got a face full of spots :-( bare minerals all the way for me!!

Awesome!
I love this product! I have lots of acne and i want to cover it up with makeup that does not clog my pores. This is that product! I recommend every girl that has acne to get this brand of makeup and also its purifying facial cleanser to gently clean your face.

A must have
Bare minerals products are basically the core of my make up arsenal. When my skin is clear, I can get away with just wearing the mineral veil. If I get a breakout, I bust out my blemish remedy mineral powder. My favorite though is their blemish remedy spot treatment/concealer. I buy that stuff on the regular.

Love !!
I used to use this product everyday then I stopped so I could experiment with liquid foundation. I couldn't find a liquid foundation that worked with my skin and didn't clog my pores so now I'm back to using this product!! I love to a lot, it just doesn't give me the coverage I'm looking for. If your looking for a full coverage foundation this is defiantly not for you. But if your looking for a lightweight natural look I definitely recommend this product. Also if you suffer from acne or clogged pores this product is worth trying out.

Decent coverage, great for my skin.

Pros:

Blurs imperfections
Helps to fade hyperpigmentation
Looks completely natural

Cons:

Even the normal version is matte - well, it is a powder
Can oxidise to an orangey shade when using too much
Doesn't cover blemishes fully

I noticed an improvement in my hyper pigmentation and overall skin texture when using this. It's never broken me out or blocked my pores and looks natural, giving just enough coverage to make me feel comfortable. The added SPF is a definite bonus. Just don't try to sleep in it - sleeping in make up is bad for you, no matter what cosmetic companies may say.

Love this Stuff

Pros:

natural looking
feels like your bare skin

I've used bareminerals for over 6 years now, and it's the best makeup I've ever worn. I wear makeup on a regular basis, and this is the only makeup that I've used that feels like I have nothing on my skin. Liquid makeup feels like a mask, and other powders give so little coverage that you have to cake it on to look flawless. In my opinion, bareminerals is best for people that have very light to light/moderate acne and want a flawless finish to their skin. I have mild acne and this makeup does the trick. If you are looking for a makeup that will cover cystic or moderate/severe acne, this will not cover every flaw, but it feels very silky.

Pros:

Doesn't clog pores or irritate skin
Great natural sunscreen
Looks natural
Matches my very pale skintone
Seems to help PIH fade

Cons:

Next to no coverage - not good for acne, just marks
Quite expensive
Messy packaging

I like it now that I am clear. This did nothing for me whilst I was still breaking out. If you only have minor colour flaws then this looks fantastic and natural.

Pros:

I don't break out!
Everything!

Cons:

More money than I would like to spend
Needs tinted moisterizer under to stay on.

For a long time I just was accepting my fate of acne. One day in a outlet mall I passed the store so we stopped in. I ended up getting some and later that day I applied. After a couple days my acne was much better than its been in a while. Apparently quite a few different powders break me out because I have changed nothing else in my routine.

Pros:

- Flawless coverage
- Light and lets skin breathe
- Relatively inexpensive compared to other designer foundations
- Mostly sweatproof
- As a powder, blending blush and bronzer is much easier than thick liquid foundations
- SPF is nice!

Cons:

- Requires touch-up during summer heat or looks cakey (like everything else)

Wonderful product that I have been using on top of light liquid foundations for the past five years. Unfortunately the lightest shade is still slightly too dark for my skin, but it's the closest I have found to my natural hue and provides the best redness coverage with none of the mask-like qualities of heavy liquid concealers. The matte version is my favorite!
