I have worn BE, I have tried Everyday Minerals and I have worn Laura Mercier. I think this (when applied with the capplicator) is very nice, however I had to tap the powder onto the sponge about 5-6 times to get my desired coverage. I do want to note that even though there are many slots for the powder to come out, it is so not messy like the tap into the lids and swirl your brush kinds. The capplicator idea is genius, keeps the powder contained and eliminates the need for a separate applicator. The cap twists onto the powder container base and locks into place, so it should be great for carrying around or traveling. As far as appearance, I prefer very natural looking makeup and I hate fluid foundations b/c I have never found any that looked like I didn't have makeup on or that wouldn't flake on my dry areas or grab onto my pores on the sides of my nose. Now, with MAC's I haven't tried using a brush so I cannot speak to the coverage with that, but those wanting more coverage may not love the capplicator unless you really pile it on. It blends beautifully and doesn't look thick and glimmery if you know what I mean. The other mmu's I have tried always seemed to go on super heavy and thick and were hard to tone down, even LM, which blends better than most IMO. MAC's seems to be more natural and I examined myself in a magnifying mirror and it still looks like my skin, not makeup. Now, I will have to update on the wear after a couple of days but I HTH.
