Im another Bare Minerals user. The biggest difference to me (Bare Minerals vs other make up) is that it looks natural. People have no idea Im even wearing make up. I bought the make up to try it out but what completely sold me on Bare Minerals is after I bought it I had people tell me that it didnt look like I was wearing make up but they could see that my skin was smooth. The DVD said "it gives you coverage without looking like make up" for me that was true.
