also, if that brand works for you, keep it. if you consider switching to BE/ID bare minerals, know that there are tons of other brands, cheaper and, in my opinion, better than BE.

I have heard of quite a few people who break out when they use this brand and I think it's the bismuth, also they claim to be all natural and if you look at the list of ingredients parabens are usually avoided by people who want all natural. What I've read is that if it's truly MMU it should have no more than 4 ingredients possibly 5. I agree there are lots of better brands of MMU both in coverage, price and staying power.
