I love love love this product! I tried Bare Minerals a few years ago and never once did I ever thought of changing my foundation. I don't like wearing a lot of make up or feel like I have a second skin from the amount of concealer I must use. I have a few acne scars and of course once in a while get them and hate how foundations/concealers don't seem to disguise them well enough. When I got Bare Minerals those acne scars and acne just seemed to disappear! Many friends complimented me on my skin even dubbed me the girl with glowing skin! In photographs my skin actually looks smooth and acne free. I love Bare Minerals and have already converted several of my friends to this brand.
I have use BE for 2 years now. It is amazing that the buffing of the fine powder does what those goopy foundations didn't do for all those years. I use the special coverage brush first and then blend with the buffing brush. I love that it gives a flawless, light non goopy appearance to your skin. It is also great because it has SPF and it doesn't run in the summer when you are sweating- it stays put. The coverage is almost flawless expecially if you have some acne scarring and/or sun damage spots on your face. Love this product.
I recently bought my first peice from this brand, i was at sephora and the girl whom was helping me just couldn't stop raving, she was correct the product does a great job of covering up without feeling heavy, good price too!
I have been using bare minerals for 4 years, and loooove it! It actually helps keep my skin clear. Even coverage, smooth texture just fab. And then, the introduced Matte! My life got better! You can improve something wonderful! They even improved the packaging so no more spilling! God bless B.E!
My starter kit was given to me as a gift from a friend and once I learned how to use the product correctly, I fell in LOVE!!! I live in Illinois, and everyone knows it can be really humid. This is the best make up to use in the humid summers. It doesn't run, clump or wear off. This product makes my skin look smooth and helps my skin breathe. My only complaint is the price is a little high, but it is well worth it! I think everyone should try Bare Minerals!
I have very bad acne, so trying to find a good makeup to cover up blemishes is difficult. I have tried so many foundations but they all made my skin oily and smell weird. After about 5 years, I decided to purchase the Bare Minerals Foundation. It's a bit pricey but very worth it for four containers of foundation, veil, and brushes. I watched the dvd that came with it to learn how to apply it and when it tried it, it was amazing. It goes on so smooth and even though it looks like powder, it becomes creamy on your face but so light that you can't feel it. I also like that you can sleep in it and it won't hurt your face. I have a one year old daughter, so remembering to wash my face at night can be difficult.
I reccomend this for any woman or girl having acne problems or oily skin. It helps a lot!
I started using the BareMinerals foundation about two months ago. I have used other mineral foundations (both powder and liquid) in the past, but this foundation stands above the rest. As many of the other reviews state, the coverage is excellent. The product goes on light and you don't need too much to get great coverage. I purchased the starter kit online from the Bare Escentuals website (as the local Sephora here in Vancouver was completely sold out). I particularly like the mineral veil - as it gives a nice sheen to my skin - just a soft glow. For those of you with more oily skin, I'd recommend trying the matte version of the foundation. I've fallen so much in love with BareMinerals, that I recently purchased several of their lip and eye products, as well. I will leave reviews on those soon, as well!
I have extremely sensitive pale/fair skin. Basically I break out from every makeup imaginable except organic/natural/chemical free makeup. I am amazed by this makeup because it actually lives up to all the hype. I have been using it for a month now & haven't broken out at all. It provides a totally natural look with no clumping or fake cakey-ness. It blends in perfectly with my skin tone. Definitely gives flawless coverage(if you need picture proof view my current profile picture). It also remains on my skin even through sweating. I walk alot & have the makeup on my skin when I do & sweating after a one hour walk I still have the coverage! I highly recommend using the brushes they sell, however since I cannot afford it, I just purchased a cheaper kabuki brush. I "had" wanted to buy the more affordable kit but it doesn't come in my complexion which is "FAIR" (porcelain skin). Just note that it might be a teensy bit messy when putting the powder onto the brush. Honestly, this is the BEST foundation I have EVER used!
I absolutely adore this product!! I've been using it for about 3 years, and wouldn't use anything else! I love the way it goes on smoothly, and looks completely natural! I also love using two slightly different shades of the foundation, (as suggested) for the most natural look possible!
While on holiday a while back, I was in need of new foundation ( gotta love when you arrive somewhere but your luggage doesn't), but I went the "cheaper" route and bought another type of powder. This turned out to be a horrible decision for me, and I ended up getting the Bare Minerals Foundation after all. Trial and error has me completely convinced that this product is the one for me!
