No. 12: Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals 2-piece Powder Foundation & Brush w/SPF 15, $47

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 8.8*
Why it's great: "I was very skeptical but after reading about it in numerous magazines I tried it for myself and absolutely LOVE it. The infomercials are no lie. After switching from a chemical-filled foundation to a natural product such as [this], my skin is less oily, rarely breaks out and the redness is gone. I love the way it covers without the look of makeup." -- fueysers, TotalBeauty.com member

I'm surprised there isn't anything on Everyday Minerals on there. They used to have a big following until all the strange changes started happening. There are also other good Mineral makeup companies out there like Silk Naturals, Adorned with Grace and Lucy Minerals. There are so many other good companies out there with pretty good products.

I can't wait until the mineral makeup fad fades away. While many of these products are great (like MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural), the hype about mineral products in general is ridiculous.

I'm sick of hearing about mineral make up, the stuff just doesn't work for me!

I was very surprised this story didn't include mineral makeup BUDGET brands (say UNDER $10.00). I use Everyday Minerals and I LOVE their products! They have great staying power and they're very kind to the pocketbook!

i'm always hesitant to use mineral makeup because of my dry skin.
