That's me too. I use only the face colors and the warmth. The warmth does make all the difference. My DIL tried using the BE moisturizer and it made her break out. She has very sensitive skin and problem with the red blotchies (I can't remember the name of that syndrome right off hand), so she also uses her own moisturizer, but loves the BE for make up. I rarely use the mineral veil for finishing. Just the color and warmth. I like my own shadows etc... You're right, the powder can be a bit messy, but I remember some hellacious liquid makeup spills back in the day...LOL I don't worry about removing it with anything special. Just regular apricot scrub or whatever you wash your face with, and just like the commercial, it doesn't hurt to sleep with it on. Also, since I only use the two products, I only use two brushes. (sometimes I get lazy and just use the one) so, minimal cleaning....less than trying to keep a compact pad clean.
