General Comments

Okay let me start by saying that I have awful skin. I get spots, but also am prone to dyness. Go figure, I thought I'd left all that trouble behind in my teens but no such luck, so I started the cycle of clogging up my pores with foundation to hide the spots which were probably caused by my foundation! See where I'm going? Now a friend in the beauty industry introduced me to Bare Minerals, and I have to say I haven't looked back.

In my opinion application is everything and a little goes a long way. I was fortunate enough to be shown how to apply by a trained make up artist not a sales girl with her eye on a commission, and I have to tel you that layering is the key. It's not about swishing the brush, tapping a bit off and swishing it about your face in circular motions.

Granted it takes a bit of practice to get it right, but like with anything in life a bit of effort pays off this time with falwless skin all day long.

Of course, like with any product a good moisturiser beforehand is essential, but make sure it's sunk into your skin thoroughly otherwise the powder will just cling to it.

Overall, if you have the time and patience to learn how to apply this product properly you will get the gist of how little or how much you want to put on, but it won't take long to figure out that less is more in this case.

Now my spots have cleared and my skin looks natural and healthy.
