    As far as mineral foundation goes, don't waste your money with this one. There are other more effective drug store mineral powders that are actually worth purchasing. This isn't good.

    This product definitely requires a light touch. It can make your skin look like it has fewer flaws, but too much, and you end up looking cakey. The brush that is included makes application easy, but is wasteful.

    This did not apply the coverage I needed. I have a lot of breakouts and redness, and all it did was minimize the appearance of them, but they were still quiet noticeable. I also found that it was cakey and didn't go on smoothly to blend.

    Foundation is the grail quest for me. What I rate for in foundation is coverage, comfort of wear, oil-resistance (does it change colours or show shine easily), and it should have sunblock, non-comedeogenic and oil-free status. This one was easy to apply, had an SPF of 19 and was light (being a powder). I didn't love the brush, the messy application (powder from the underside of the brush goes everywhere), and the cakey look I got when I wanted to apply a bit more on a blemish or birthmark I wanted to cover. Coverage was okay. It did last a long time and its compact to travel with. What it would be great for is vacation when you just want to brush on a bit of coverage and even out your skin tone.

    The brush is too stiff, the product is very dry and being a lose powder, will naturally fall onto your clothes and stain white shirts. All in all I don't recommend this product at all. I notice nowadays "average" price of a drugstore foundation is about $15. Well, add a few more $$ to it and you can get an awesome foundation that you can wear for months on end from Sephora. I would recommend saving your money and investing in a good product, rather than spending several $11 dollars on so-so products.

    I LIKE THE LIGHT COVERAGE IT GIVES AND THE SPF19 INCLUDED SUNSCREEN AS IT GIVES YOU A NICE EVEN FOUNDATION. WHAT I DON'T LIKE IS THE DELIVERY SYSTEM. DONE BY BRUSH IT IS SO POWDERY IT FALLS OFF THE PROVIDED BRUSH AND GETS ALL OVER YOUR CLOTHES COUNTER AND FLOOR. WASTE OF PRODUCT AND MAKES A MESS.
    DOES COME IN DIFFERENT SHADES. NEEDS TO HAVE LESS POWDER ACCESS THE DELIVERY AREA.

    For the price this product gives you for what it is--generic drugstore product. Don't get me wrong, its not horrible, but it's not great either. After an hour of wear, my face definitely shows the wear an tear of not superior mineral makeup. If you are will to shell out a few more $ for the original bare mineral i would recommend it.

    I was very disappointed in this product. It gave me dry and patchy after I had used it, and was hard to apply. I was expecting it to be more like all the other great L'Oreal products I have bought, but it did not seem to live up to their standards. Whenever I went out into the sun, dry patches on my cheeks and oily buildup on my nose from this mineral foundation was highly noticeable while wearing this product. It also looked to harsh on my skin, very cakey too. I would not recommended buying this product, you'll only be disappointed in what you paid for.

    I tried the 'mineral' thing because I was told that it would give me anywhere from sheer to heavy coverage and I needed the heavy coverage. I do not recommend this for people that need heavy coverage and need to hide imperfections. It also does not last long, but powder is powder and any powder will wear off easily. It gave light coverage and if I put a ton on it got up to medium but never to heavy coverage.
