OMG, I am so glad I stumbled across this site. I’m 43 and have acne worse than my 14-year-old! I’ve been trying to figure it out and it has to be the mineral make-up. The acne started about a month ago…when I started using the minerals. Augh!!! This crap is going in the garbage.

I’ve tried soooooo hard to like mineral foundation. I have sensitive, dry, acne prone skin and my wishful side thought this was going to be THE answer as far as makeup goes. I think it’s finally time to admit that up close it makes my skin look dry with a white metalic like residue, feels strange to the touch, hides nothing, and creates some kind of a weird pin-like feeling; thought I was nuts but others have mentioned it too. So sad.

I love BareMinerals, never had any issues with breakouts, the only thing I don’t like is that it does melt off quickly but with re-application of the mineral veil throughout the day it stays fine. :]

I think its a total scam to get people to pay more for cosmetics. I’m 41 years old, I’ve been using MAC for years and I’m going to stick with my Studio Fix. If it ain’t broke, why fix it.

I’m certainly not going to buy all new makeup and toss out all the makeup I have just because it isn’t mineral makeup. I do have 2 mineral blushes but they were $5 each and I can’t even tell the difference between them and my other blushes.

I love the color range, because really every color is available (or you can mix it yourself for the perfect match to your skin color).
I also love the coverage.. BUT:

I hate the fact that the mineral foundation wears off in like 2,5 hours. I prefer liquid to mineral!

I’m also annoyed because my skin is so sensitive that most brushes of real hair (and synthetic too) will give my skin all sorts of red and irritated spots.

So my final conclusion: liquid is my first choice
