I tried it and I didn't like it. I was hoping it would get rid of my toe fungus though.

Answer 2

You have to apply it properly. I have used it 3+years and it is the best makeup I have ever used. Make sure your skin is clean, apply a very light moisturizer and let it soak in for about a minute. If your skin is acne prone, you could also put some benzoyl peroxide lotion/gel (I recommend Epicuren) on any breakouts you have before you apply the moisturizer.Then use the small brush to "dot" the powder on any blemishes or red/problem areas. Then, use the "kabuki" brush to 'swirl' the makeup on your face. It takes about 3 swirls per "area" to get coverage - you should notice a difference as you do the 3rd "swirl" around your cheek area. Then, if you still have blemishes that are noticeable, you can use the smaller brush to touch them up. If the color is too light and/or white, just try a different shade. I recommend going to a Bare Escentuals store where you can try the different colors to get a perfect match.

I have been using it for about a year now and I love it. When I first started using it I did not think it looked right either. I would start off with a very small amount and then add on for more coverage. I think I was using too much at first. Another thing that makes it awesome is using the Skin Rev-er upper underneath the foundation. That is like a miracle lotion. Good luck!

I have used it for about 3 years and would NEVER use anything else. Start with the small concealer brush and apply any areas that may stand out on your face (acne, scars, redness, etc) then use the Kabuki brush and buff the foundation into your skin. Lastly, apply the Mineral Veil liberally. It always gives me great results.

Answer 5

i posted questions on here asking what others thought about the product. A lot said they liked it so i went and tried it at a boutique that sold it. The girl who applied it looked great. She wore the stuff. Well i failed to notice any difference on my skin with it. I've seen other girls wearing it and it did look good. I think it all depends on whats your skin is like. Mine is a little red so it didnt give enough coverage. I noticed no coverage at all. i really like merle norman. I like a lot of coverage but still natural. Maybe that could work for you

Answer 6

I like it! I have been using this foundation for 6 years and it has worked the best. I only use the foundation though, but I mix two different colors to better match my skin tone. I also use my own concealer as well underneath. I have tried the mineral veil, but I didn't really like it.

Answer 7

It moisturised my skin well, but I found it too oily after a while and it took longer than my regular foundation to apply and get the same results. It's expensive too. I did get compliments on how my skin looked though, and you really can sleep in it so long as you don't mind washing your pillowcases often.

Answer 8

I dont like it.

i was watching quv tv (qvc.com) and bought a kit, they were saying I was going to trow my old makeup away and never go back, so I bought it, when It got home, I applied it.

I have a medium colored skin tone, and got the medium color kit, but the colors look like they are darker or like they are sand on your face, making my face look super dry and wrinkly(Im 19 yrs old), also didn't give me the coverage I wanted.
