yes, I like it but it is a powder so it tends to be messy. Also use moisturizer before applying and make sure it is dry before using the powder otherwise it can stick.

I tried it at Sephora this week so here's my report...
The powder actually does give more coverage than I expected...I used it on a scratch on my arm and it covered about 80% of the red. However, it won't cover lines or large pores as well as a liquid or cream. You have to blend it very well, or else it will set quickly and look patchy. Also, it has a lot of mica in it. The ads say it gives it texture, but mica is used mainly in other products for shimmer, so it is quite sparkly under direct light. Also, the products are all powder, and there isn't any way for powder NOT to be messy. I only used it on my own arm, but I did watch the employees using it on customers, and up close it looked a little patchy and unnatural.
Basically, I think this would be an OK product for someone who 1) didn't need a lot of coverage/correction of skin texture flaws, 2) doesn't mind looking sparkly in the sunlight, and 3) doesn't mind a somewhat messy and complicated application. I know a lot of people like it, but I was not impressed at all...I think this is a faddish thing and a lot of people will eventually tire of all the steps involved.

Yes, I used it for quite awhile & it just didn't work for me. But I just found Philosophy's Airbrush works well as does Bella Rose ProMinerals from HSN. They are finer milled so the don't make your pores look huge & they don't get so shiny looking. They give better coverage & not as many steps. I'm also waiting for my free kit from EverydayMinerals.com where you just pay S&H.

It's a good product and I really wanted to like it, but I broke out from it. I had little white bumps all over my face. (eww)
I went back to liquid which hasn't caused any problems.

I am allergic to something in it. I order my makeup from Sephora, occasionally I pick up some things in Japan when I go(foundation, especially)
