Both my mother and myself use this makeup and we love it!!! It's really easy to apply and doesn't seem to have that make-upy look to your face, it's natural.

Yes the powder does get messy because I use two different colors and I pour a little bit of each onto the inside of one of the lids and blend with the brush. I also love the mineral veil that goes on after it, nice and light.

My mother has dark spots on her face and it covers them up nicely.

Can you tell we love Bare Minerals?!!!
