What is better about it?

More color selection on the foundation, more colors in all the other products, better coverage, cheaper, etc.

I've been using it for 10 months now. It's great, but then I'm allergic to its cheaper counterparts like Everyday Minerals and HATE how much it costs.

The price wasn't my favorite with it, but I tried it at the store and it seemed to work great.

i LOVE it! it looks great every time! the only problem i have now is my skin has gotten lighter (because it's winter) so my medium tan face doesn't really match the rest of my body lol but i think that happens to everyone...

Yep. My winter foundation is Fair plus one whole Chenille shadow dumped in and I shake it up.

With BE, I see people on both side of the spectrum: some women hate it, some women love it. I absolutely hate it. I used it from 2000-2007 and it was great for me, very natural looking. However, I have oily skin, and at halfway through the day, my face was super shiny and oily. I kept having to constantly blot my skin. But the biggest problem with it is that I'm allergic to the Bismuth Oxychloride ingredient in it. Lots of women are and the BE makeup makes their skin itchy and breakout. I have no idea why my skin didn't react until 7 years later, but my face broke out so badly! I stopped using BE and it took nearly a full year for my skin to recover. It was so bad ( ... )
