I use the stuff from Avon and I am very happy with it. I do not have scars or anything, but do know it covers other blemishes well. It is decently priced if you get it on sale (and I think it is on sale right now.) It took me a try or two to figure out to put it on in light layers. I do maybe three now but the first time put it on too thick and had blotches...lol. Anyway, I sell Avon and can give you a link to my site via pm by request only...but you can also just shop directly through the company at avon.com or find a local rep in your area (through the company site.) I haven't tried any of the other brands.

I WANT to try it because I have read confirmed reports that it is healthier for women's skin. However, I have looked at the many different companies that sell mineral makeup, and I simply cannot afford them. From everything I've heard from real people, it does work. I would like to hide the circles under my eyes. I've yet to be able to accomplish that with anything else.

I do know that CoverGirl has a brand of mineral powder out I got mine at Walmart for 8 bucks I think. It's called TruBlend with minerals naturally luminous loose powder. It works great on it's own I have put it over liquid foundation and it's awesome that way sometimes I just like to wear powder and mascara and for that purpose this stuff worked great. Plus it wasn't as exspensive as the mineral stuff I have that too I paid 60.00 for a kit at this one store called Fred Meyer. I found that the mineral stuff gets all over the place when I went to apply it I hate wasting stuff even more when it costs so much! I must say that a little goes a long way and it does last awhile. -Amberina

Bought it and it didn't cover my scars or my daughters. She actually reacted to it with her sensitive skin and can't use it at all. Her skin all blotched out. For me it gave even coloring but made my fine lines show up more and the scars showed up more. For $15.00 I can't see me buying it again. I think it would be good for some people but not my daughter or my skin types either.

I just bought some of the Revlon Mineral Wear and I like it. I am still trying to adjust to the little brush thing but it hinds things that other foundations haven't. It was like $14 for a little jar which hubby gasped at but I hope and think it will last a long time. I have to admit it makes my skin feel a little soft and it hasn't made me break out yet. I have to give it a thumbs up.

I use Physician Formula Mineral Wear talc free makeup. My main reason for useing it is that I want to avoid talc, and so I may switch to Physician Formula's new soy-based makeup, but regardelss, I find the mineral wear works well. The only thing is that if you are going to use concealer and stuff as well as powder, give the moist makeup tiem to set and dry before you put the powder on because it tends to stick to moisture and will go on too thick if you makeup is still damp when you put it on. That said though, it does have better covereage than regular talc powder.

I tried Loreal Bare Naturale Mineral make up. I don't have scars, but this is the best covering and feeling foundation that I have ever tried. It is soft and light feeling. It also covers my very rosey cheeks and regular breakouts (without causing more). If feels natural and is very comfortable. I love it. For what is supposed to be a one months supply it was $13. But I have had it for a few months now.

I did pick it up and it didn't cover the scars in fact they looked worse. It did give an even coloring to the skin. I did make my daughter's skin blotchy (sensitive skin). It cost $15 here. Not a bad product but not for our skin types
