i have used both and i love the bare minerals...it covers alot better than the sheer cover and you don't have to use as much. it really helps if you have splotchy skin and it only takes like 3 minutes max to put it all on including eyes, lips, and cheeks. i am fair skinned and hate the way liquid base always made my face look orange and always having the base line no matter how well i blended plus liquid base feels like crisco all over my face-yuk
!!! i will never go back to liquid base NEVER!!!
