There have been people that have had allergies to it, rashes, hives and blistering. It is not often this happens so you might want to take a look at the ingredients and do a search to find out which part of it is bothering your skin.

I don't remember if Bare Minerals is one of the brands that has it, but I know I've read some women have a reaction to the bismuth in some some brands of mineral make up.

yes, bare minerals does have bismuth which has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people, but so far I haven't had a problem with my bare minerals.

I have used alot of mineral makeup brands and I can't use anything that contains Bismuth Oxychloride. This is probably the ingredient that is causing the reaction. A couple of brands that are really good and don't contain bismuth are Everyday minerals, Joppa Minerals and Mineral Basics. I think that Joppa is my favorite (better coverage than any of the others) but all of these offer cheap or free samples so it's worth a try mineral makeup is deffinatly worth it if you can find a brand that works. Hope this helps.
