    excellent

    I bought this powder a couple of years ago and didn't like it that much... I found it didn't offer enough coverage (I tend to go for medium coverage liquid foundations). Then I tried using it with a makeup sponge instead of the brush. This technique offers heavier (medium) coverage that lasts all day. You can even use it instead of concealer. It is a very flexible product that always looks natural...read more, never fake... you definitely retain your natural glow even when you use a heavy hand applying the stuff. The only thing I don't like is the packaging... not very portable. Would recommend to anyone.

    I would recommend

    Mineral make-up started popping up everywhere and I wanted to try but didn't have the money to go the bareminerals route. I tried this stuff and it works really well!! It covers nicely and gives me more of a glow than usual. check it out!

    Foolproof coverage

    My mom misplaced her makeup while traveling with my daughter and me. (OK, I guess I put it under the seat of my car.) I encouraged her to get and use mineral makeup until she found her bag. Mom is very pale and was concerned about this "not being enough" for her. However, she ultimately gave it a try. The coverage was unbelievable; in just a few seconds, it covered some sun damage and da...read morerk circles under her eyes. I was really impressed, especially because I had been using Avon's lackluster mineral foundation. I immediately switched to this product, and I, too, have been very happy with the results. It's a huge time-saver, too. In addition to mineral foundation, I had been carefully applying concealer to my own under-eye circles. But this does double duty. The only flaw is the packaging; the dome lid never closes all the way. However, it works so well I'm willing to forgive that minor detail. (If I go on a trip, I tape it shut. Seriously, that's how much I rely on this stuff.)

    Mineral Make-up Foundation

    I use this as a mineral make-up foundation and it tones down the uneven red tone on my face without looking to chalky or thick. This leaves a more natural, even skin tone without looking chalky or dry.

    Better than expected

    when i first saw this, I decided to try it... I was a little unsure because its a powder and it might fade, especially on oily skin. I tried it the next day and it worked WAY better than I had thought it would. I covered nicely without that feeling that you have something sticky and gross on your face. But, let me warn you... it does fade and you do need to sometimes reapply (for little bit oily skin). But considering, go ahead and try... and it's not that bad at all!

    Will never buy Bare Minerals foundation again

    I am not a fan of Bare Minerals because it makes me look old, dry (even after using a ton of moisterizer first) and enhances my wrinkles and pores. I do however like the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder because it covers just as well, doesn't settle into my wrinkles or pores and doesn't go on chalky as long as you have used a moisturizer first. I have used it for about a year now and...read more a few of my friends now buy this powder instead of Bare Minerals. I use my own brush because the brush that came with it is too stiff. Some reviewers didn't like the packing but other than it is too big to carry in my makeup bag, I like the how the cap covers the holes so I can shake some out first before opening the cap - it doesn't create a mess for me.

    Awesome mineral make-up!

    I have tried the most popular mineral line, with the professional make-up artist, etc., and this product is way superior. The popular line (the name of which escapes me) looked chalky and fake, even on the gal who applied it for me. I tried this in translucent medium and voila - perfect match! It gives me skin a beautiful glow and I have been receiving compliments on how good I look ever since....read more I also tried the mineral veil, which is not bad, but I bought it in a shade that's a bit light for me. I will remember next time to get the darker shade. Also, the packaging of the veil is useless. While the idea of it is genius, hardly anything comes out of the brush and they need to improve upon this. Finally, as everyone else has mentioned, the brush for the mineral wear is useless and I instead use a regular blush brush and this makes it apply much better. This product is awesome and very inexpensive and I probably will continue to use this product for the rest of my days. By the way, my skin is combo/oily and I'm 43 if these facts help anyone making an informed decision.

    Simply Wonderful.

    I remember buying this because I saw it in a magazine and it probably said something I liked in the review of it and I'm so glad I did. This is the first mineral powder I've tried and I'm loving it. I don't feel it at all and it really gives me a nice complexion. The brush that it comes with it just useless though. It lasted a while too. I remember buying this right before fall of last year and I'm almost out. Also, I love how the shade I got came with some SPF, I think it was SPF 15.

    Not bad, Not great

    I tried this mineral product to compare with my expensive bare minerals. The results are that I broke out and while the coverage is good, it feels heavy on my skin. After feeling the lightness of bare minerals, I felt like my skin couldn't breathe and it was like a coating. However, this makeup covers the big pores better than bare minerals. Just wash it off asap! Also, the color is slightly...read more off. I use after moisturizing and it looks like it settles in a little darker. Good for coverage if you don't like liquid foundation. Good product for the desert but will not stand up against a moist forehead, the color will run.
