I have been wanting to try this for�a while becuse my friend is a makeup artist and swears by it. Well...all I can say is, "Oh My God!!" My skin has NEVER looked better! NEVER! I have never been someone who wears much foundation because I've always felt it settles in fine lines and makes me look too made up. Well, I got the kit for Christmas, and it is my favorite present! WATCH THE DVD!!! It is filled with a ton of helpful hints, instructions, and introduces you to the entire line. I found application very easy while watching the dvd. I showed my mom and my grandma and they both thought my skin looked beautiful. My mom said it looked like I was wearing no makeup, but my skin looked great. Used the concealor brush to hide redness and and blue circles and shadows around my eyes and had NO filled in lines and perfect coverage! Even covered veins! I couldn't believe it! Wore the minerals all day and didn't need a single touch up. Looks great in all lighting - that is hard to find! The trick is to start out with a little and if that is not enough coverage for you, do another light layer. Layer lightly until you get the coverage you desire. Oh, I am so elated I could just smash my old liquid foundation on the ground and scream "oopla!"
