Has any one got any opinions on this? I'm tempted to treat myself to this but I don' know which shade to go for, either Natural or Beige. I normally use a liquid foundation but these minerals seem all the rage now and I fancy a change.

Hi Kath, I use this because I can't be bothered with the messy, faffy bits of BE. I love it and it doesn't make my skin itch. The natural is lighter than the beige. I use porcelain (not sold on QVC) in the winter and natural in summer, but could get away with natural all year round. It seems very forgiving. Good luck!

I love this too. I don't use this exclusively, I use halo, LG BNB Fair, and BE too but I always carry my philosophy as my retouch make up. It's a bit more matt than the others so good for fixing shine and adding a bit extra coverage. It's the one I take on holiday too as it's so easy to use and carry. You can also open it up and use a brush, the baby kabukis are a perfect size, but that can be a little messy if you're not careful.
As for colour, I use the natural. I have milky white skin so use the lightest in everything: smashbox F0 in healthy fx, fair in halo, fair/fairly light in BE. If you have a bit more colour about you then I'd reckon that beige would be better. There isn't a huge difference in the shades, they are quite forgiving, but natural may be a little pasty on more medium toned skin.

I have tried many mineral foundations (some from US) - Philosophy, BE, Neutrogena, L'Oreal, Lily Lolo & Avon.
Philosophy was the first one I tried & IMO it is definitely the best. I tend to apply mine with a brush, rather than the puff attached, and it has such a nice natural finish. I'm afraid I can't comment on the colours, as I got mine when there were only 2 available & I mix them according to the time of the year.
If you don't get on with it you can always return it to QVC, a friend got me mine from the US & when the colour wasn't right for me, I had to get a second one to mix with, so I think QVC is a good option to buy from.
