I am wondering how these two products compare. What do you think?

Personally, I prefer BM hands down. It's invisible, doesn't wear off, is sweat proof (and I sweat!) I think it's just beautiful. I've ordered IT several times (I don't know why), and I always end up sending it back. It looks powdery, the color is always off, it wipes off, the bronzer is matte and ashy (and orange based). I will stick will to Laura Geller (the cleanest in the compact) or BM from now on. I am tan skinned, btw.

BM orginal has bismuth, it can cause itching & breakouts, IT powder doesn't have that ingredient...I use the IT powder in the black case.

Thank you for that info. I have acne prone skin.

I agree. Bare Minerals is way better than IT foundation. Covers and looks better on.

BM user for life! I've tried IT Cosmetics but just don't care for it. BM is so easy to use and covers really well. I have some small broken capillary veins on my checks and chin (they purple to red in color). BM covers right over them - I don't even need to use consealer! I've never had any skin issues at all with BM and sometimes fall asleep with my makeup still on and never worry about it when I wake up especially since it's really good for your skin.

I love my BM collection. LOL I have to order TSV on auto Delivery.
I have not been happy with IT products.
I'll stick BM. I'm in my 60's and very picky.

The bismuth drove me nuts with the itching. Not for me.

I love the BM. Other powder like foundations are always too drying on me. I can only wear BM during the summer as an all over foundation though. I do, however, always use BM Bisque on my nose where I have some redness and pores that catch liquid foundation. I first use a translucent finishing powder and then the Bisque then another light dusting of translucent powder. This hides pores better than any liquid foundation can. I use the IT Celebration foundation on the rest of my face. Sometimes I mix my foundation with a facial oil just to make it spread better in the winter time. It also works to use a facial oil on my skin before applying foundation. It also keeps my skin from looking dry later on.
If I feel like I need some extra coverage I can press a little bit of BM foundation or Bisque onto the skin with a sponge to cover those areas then blend it out a little. BM products are really versatile. I can never get a liquid concealer alone to cover certain skin spots.I don't know what I would do without Bisque.
