Question about Bare Escentuals

I have heard loads of good things about the BE loose foundations, I have never used a loose/powder foundation so what are the pros and cons?

Can anyone post a picture of them with a bare face, then a pic with BE Loose Foundation for comparison?

Also, can you use cream blush over it or will the different textures not work together?

Thanks.

I know a lot of people like BE, but it just didn't work for me. My skin is oily, but this somehow made it look dry, and the coverage was minimal. I found it to be no better than the coverage I'd get with MAC Studio Finish pressed powder. Plus is made my big pores look like craters.

I bought a kit from Sephora and the only thing I ever use is the warmth on occasion, and I'll sometimes use the foundation as a dusting of loose power if it's hot outside and I know I'm going to sweat.

I'll try to do a BE pic soon, I got the Sephora kit as well, and I liked it alot, but I find my studio fix gives the same look, even though it is pressed. I just didn't like sitting there tapping and swirling all day long. With the sifter tops, it seemed like I spent more time getting the product out and onto the brush than I did buffing.

And ever since I tried the 182 buffer, that BE kabuki brush had to go!

I love BE foundation. My skin is oily and I found that it doesn't get as oily as when I used liquid or cream foundation. My skin has it's imperfections and it seems to help cover well, but I still have to use a cream consealer for under my eyes.

Does anyone with dry and flaky skin use Everyday Minerals?

Is it just like any other powder foundation that dries out skin?

I really want to try this because it looks gorgeous and I have a kabuki brush sitting around being used incorrectly (buffing liquid foundation in).

My skin is really dry, flaky sometimes. It's really sensitive because I have eczema, and I get flare ups if my skin is too dry.

) i'd try a different brush, like the max. coverage face brush. and then the swirl and tap thing should be cake!
