Mineral makeups make me look like the Crypt Keeper. They settle in my wrinkles, and no matter how light or heavy I apply, no matter how I buff or with which brush, it still looks like holy he!! And too many of them have reflective particles or shine in them that makes that makes them look worse.

That said, I will use Maybelline's loose mineral makeup when it's REALLY hot in the summertime, because I can't stand anything else on my face when it's hot. Maybelline's (IMO) is by FAR better than any of the fancier brands I've tried--and I've tried about 5. Waste of $$.
