You know, I just came across this site, and I thought to put in my two cents as an artist and cosmetic hound. I work for BE and I know that after working for three other lines with mineral make ups (philosophy, Clinique and Trish McEvoy) I truly enjoy the way that BE looks and feels on my skin. The way the shadows wear is fantastic and they never crease!
I used to love the MAC but studio fix always separated when I got oily throughout the day. Now I rarely touch up!
The itching is common is almost all mineral make ups though, it the minerals being active on your skin. If you wear a primer, it is not as bad and your skin adapts.
I love this stuff. My skin has never looked better and I am 37!

I love Monave’s coverage with its creamy and dewy look. Buff’d is great with its coverage pluss its more of matte-ish type so you’ll never go wrong.:)

Mineral makeups are really good for the skin. I don’t experience breakouts and the finish can be equal to a studio fix.

Several brands are there like Lauress, Buff’d, Aromaleigh, Joppa, Lumiere, Pure Anada and the like. They provide medium-heavy coverage for foundations that with the right tools, will give you an airbrushed look.:)

The blushes and eyeshadows provide a whole range of colors beyond your imagination.

And get this, you need a little amount, like less than a grain to achieve the look you want! How cool is that?:)
