I just recently switced to BE after years of using Laura Mercier. I have always received compliments on my makeup but nothing like this! In the one week I have been wearing the BE no less than two dozen people we have seen at events have commented that "you have never looked better" and "your skin and makeup look beautiful - are you doing something different?"
Like others I had initial itching but it quit after about 2-3 days. Also I use cetaphil moisturizer under the make up instead of the BE products - I wanted to stay with what my dermatologist suggested for my normal to dry skin and it is working very well.
I will never go back to regular make up. I chose BE after reading reviews and absolutely love it.
I have used Mary Kay colors in the past but unfortunately their mineral makeup isn't pure and for me the point of mineral makeup was to get away from talc and other ingredients that clog the skin.
