I have been using this foundation for almost three years now. At first it was hard to find a colour that matched my skin tone, as I have gold undertones and find that the shades for darker skins can look wither too red, or ashy or chalky. However Bare Minerals recently added some new shades and I have found the Golden Deep works well.
If you have blemishes or hyperpigmentation, you have to layer on the bare minerals in order to get good coverage, although it looks awesome in photos, my skin looks "made up". I find that people compliment me on my skin when I wear this foundation, but my only gripe is that it makes my face itch, especially on a hot or humid day. It's very uncomfortable when this happens. I have read that this happens to a lot of women with sensitive skin types as there is an ingredient in Bare Minerals (bismuth oxychloride) that causes the skin itch.
Overall, I like the product but I am still searching for a mineral make up that doesn't make my skin itch -- and once I find it, I will switch from BE i.d. Bare Minerals.    -
