Why it's great: The complaints readers have about other mineral makeup, that it's "messy" and "drying," don't come up with this product.

Also, readers love that "the color was true to their descriptions and the ease of applying and the time saved was incredible." And like other mineral makeup, this "improves my skin texture and... it has not caused my skin to break out," one reader says.
