Good Points

works really well on good skin days (very rare for me). very natural.


Bad Points

hard to put on slightly damp skin (shower, humidity, or sweat). can darken blemished spots. wears off easily.


General Comments

Again, the foundation works really well on good skin days and doesn't cause break-out like liquid foundations can. But when my face is slightly damp, the brush itself can get a little wet, which can cause the foundation power to clump together on the brush. This can get really frustrating if I'm in a rush right after my workout. I also don't see the difference between the foundation power and the multi-tasking bisque; the ingredient are almost the same. The concealer can sometimes accentuate blemishes because it can dry around the edge and darken it. The mineral veil, however, is really good. I like how it's finely milled and sets your makeup. Its a lot better than drugstore brand mineral makeup finishers. In general, the mineral foundation doesn't last very long and rubs off easily. It would probably match normal skin the best. I have combination skin and it gets cake-y at the t-zone.
The price is slightly cheaper than other liquid foundations so i guess that's good. My advice is if you're in hurry, don't use it because it does take some time to put on and it can get a little messy.
