«This isn't for everyone, especially us middle aged women»
I was about 44 when I purchased the kit. It was such a huge disappointment for me, I put it on eBay after using it a few times. This accentuated all the fine lines that come with age. It's very drying even if you use a good moisturizer. While it may be great for younger women, in my opinion, and those of others my age who I have talked to, it's not a great foundation for the 40 and older crowd in general.
Just this year a local TV talk show had a makeup artist on who discussing foundations. She advised that mineral foundations generally do not look good on older skin and advised against them.
I did try two other brands, and found the same problem with each one. Besides that I find them too messy anyway. I hated dealing with all that loose powder. It always ended up with me having to clean my vanity after use.
Not sure if this is true or not so do not hold me to this. I was told by a BE competitor that their minerals used to be pure but are not anymore. Like I said I have no personal knowlege of this. Just repeating what this person told me. Take it with a grain of salt as this is a competing company after all.

«Great product, bad price»
I got a sample of this at Sephora, and I do like the product a lot. It applies nicely and feels good, too, but at $25, I'm not too sure I'd buy it. I bought mineral powder makeup by Loreal for about $10 and am just as happy with that and the price is much better. But the coverage is nice and it does feel good on the skin. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend, but if I find something just as good at a lower price, I'm all for buying cheaper and using the savings for savings or more makeup.

«Mineral Makeup»
This makeup is amazing and makes my skin look flawless. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for coverage that looks minimal, but transforms your skin and diminishes the look of imperfections.
