The key issue for me seems to be an allergy/sensitivity to bismuth oxychloride. I cannot TELL you how itchy Bare Minerals made me. It was fine for the first couple of days, but then it triggered eczema on my neck and around my eyes. (I've never had eczema, neither before nor since, so this was weird.) It then took about a month to clear up, which was less than fun. On the other hand, Everyday Minerals has been awesome for me. Never an allergy problem, and it does seem to balance off my oily skin. Their products don't contain bismuth, so I'm guessing that's what makes them work for me. (I've also had luck with eyeshadow/blush from companies like Aromaleigh and Lumiere, who AFAIK don't use bismuth either.)
