Mineral makeup is super popular right now. But is mineral makeup a good choice if you have acne?

If you've used mineral makeup, we want to know what you think of it. Tell us what you love (light feel, doesn't clog pores?) and hate (not enough coverage, settles in lines?) about mineral makeup. Does it work for concealing your acne?

Bare Escentuals

I love Bare Escetuals I have had a lot of trouble with my skin in the past part of which was caused by the perfumes and things in other liquid makeup. I didn't know if I would like it but have been using it now for more than five years. I recently had a dog bite to the top of my head and forhead and it has helped to cover my scars. Between this , Pro-Active And my cleanser which use something fragrence free like Aveeno Natually Calming I am good to go.

It's OK

It doesn't feel heavy, which I like. But I don't think it really conceals acne that well. You need to use a good concealer under the mineral makeup.
