This is terrible, I don't understand what all the fuss is about!

This is the first time I have tried this make-up. I got the trial starter kit with foundation, bisque, mineral veil and brushes. I sometimes suffer from breakouts and bad skin so I thought I'd try this and it is awful. It hardly covers the skin and when I applied it more over the blemishes it just looked patchy, not a good look. I don't understand what everybody is raving about. If you have perfect skin to begin with then this is for you, but if you suffer from breakouts don't bother. It's overpriced and does not do the job. Instead I'm going back to using liquid foundation, concealor and powder as it works so much better even if it does need touching up throughout the day. I was hoping to find a 'miracle' make-up that was light enough to use on holiday but I'm just left disappointed, unless I'm doing something wrong?
