My skin tone is fair and I sometime have redness on my cheeks and nose. This product was a life saver. When I apply it, I can barely feel it on my face, it is so light. My skin tone is finally even and it looks so natural, none of my friends can tell that I am wearing foundation.

This makeup is great if you love the more natural and light feel. It goes on so smooth and feels so light, but also provides wonderful coverage. I also love the fact that it is all minerals and gentle enough to sleep in.

OK, I finally worked up the guts to get and try this product...
I am a foundation addict, so it took a lot for me to give in to this... my main concern being the coverage and "lasting power".
Long story short, I love Bare Minerals.
It covers well, (surprisingly well), it's relatively easy to apply (another concern I had, with the powders), it looks very very natural (main reason I decided to give up my heavy duty foundation), and it lasts long (my days usually go for 14-15 hrs). It doesn't run, nor does it fade, doesn't shine and manages to stay put the entire day. Last, but not least... my skin feels better, and looks better. No more clogged pores and congested, sufocated skin, major issues I had previously with me heavy duty foundation.
I got the starters kit, which is plenty... and considering my previous fundation costed about half the price of the kit, and lasted for 2 months, it's not a huge difference.
I really really like this stuff! It surprised me on how good it is!
I really really recommend it!

very worth it!

This product is amazinggggg... when i saw the matte version of bareminerals, i had to try it out since i have oily/acne prone skin. i got rid of all of my liquid foundations... all from A-Z. sooooooooooo happy this product was created! i noticed that it works great with the skin. it reduces breakouts, speeds up healing process from small breakouts, oil-controlling, natural looking, and u only need to use a small amount and never looks cakey. problem is the convenience with the packaging. it can be a bit messy if not cautious... otherwise, an outsanding product =)

Love it! For adult oily/acne prone skin like mine, most/all foundations either dry out my skin or make me sooooo shiny and don't hide anything.
Was a little dismayed when I first ordered the starter kit off the BE site, and how small the containers are.
But, you really don't use that much product at all. Compared to liquid foundations, I would say the price is comparable when you think about how much you use over months. And, *hint* - order off ebay, great deals! i just ordered a whole bunch more in the full sizes. Beware of imitations!
First day I wore it to work I was nervous thinking that it showed my flaws, after all, felt like I was wearing nothing, and after yrs of heavy foundation and spending so much time covering things it takes time to get used to both the quick application and no layers of heavy makeup. But trust me, you feel so free with out all that goop on your face! And look better too.
Oh, and for ppl who break out like me, be careful bout washing your brushes regularly, and don't use harsh acne products on your skin, in my experience, things heal faster and look better when you stay with a nice oil free moisturizer rather than drying your face out. btw, I use Quo cleaner, not the BE one.
BE does a way better job than liquid foundations at controlling shine, especially when using with the mineral veil.
One bad thing, the warmth does look silly on me in the middle of winter with very pale skin. Not streaky, just obviously THERE in comparison to ghastly paleness.:)
Overall, great product, like it! Try it.

this is an amazing product i had acme really bad when starting this and after using it for a while my skin is so much better and everyone tells me when i wear it how great it looks

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. Its the perfect coverage (medium). I enjoy that I don't feel my make up. I get sooo many compliments about my SKIN, and not the makeup....people say "oh your skin looks amazing today"...i just don't tell them that its not my skin but the MAKEUP. The only negative is that it can be time consuming at first, but as you get better with your application you can get it done pretty quickly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Love this product. Great for sensative skin. Applies well, and is not cakey. Great color pallet, to match any skin tone.

Finally purchased my started kit but just applied it once since I bought it cause my skin was pretty dry and didn't look too good on my forehead specially, since it just made more visible dead dry skin I have there. It went in the lines and formed lines of make up in my cracked skin. I will try to apply again today and hopefully it looks better and give it the full rating it probably deserves.

I love bare minerals. I was reluctant to buy at first because I heard it does not have good coverage. I found it has great coverage and I wasn't applying it over and over again. It's so light that I forget that I even have anything on. i will not wear anything else.
