I have tried many brands of Make up, this is the best ever, I get so many compliments about my make up. I do not feel like I have a mask on and it looks SO NATURAL...... Great coverage and NO BREAKOUTS>>>>>A MUST HAVE!!!!
I started using this make up in June of 08 and i love it! i used to use liquid make up but it made my face oily, this is a defendant improvement on my skin! it makes the redness on your face decrease and it makes your skin feel fabulous! Try it, it's great! It costs about 25 dollars and lasted me 6 months!
It took me a little while to "get this" make up. It actually took me several months! This is the second mineral brand make up I have ever tried.
I must admit that the first time I tried it I didn't like it so much. After taking a few pictures, I could see what everyone was saying... the shine on my face was ridiculous! I vowed to give it a second try. That turned into a third one.. then fourth...
Finally I got it. The trick is to apply Mineral Veil before the actual foundation itself. THEN dust on the foundation.
I love this because it really feels like you're not wearing any make up at all -- no heavyness or itchiness. I have oily/combination skin and it works really well in keeping the oil at bay on my t-zone and forehead. I layer the foundation with the multi-tasking face colour and the result is I get a nice glow.
I really like how the foundation can be "built" to the coverage you want. If I need more coverage, I buff more of the foundation on my face. If I want a more natural look.. I stick to just a tiny application -- one light buff over the entire face.
I recommend B.E. to those who have: sensitive skin (who do not have sensitivities to bismuth oxychloride), oily/acne prone skin, rosacea, who are afraid of liquid foundation and want something natural, or those who have gone through surgical skin treatments and want to try mineral make up (like microdermabrasions or peels).
My only issue is... whenever I where this, (because I cannot feel it on my face) I often forget that I'm wearing make up and then end up washing my face really, really late at night! They say it's make up so natural you can sleep in, but I never do that -- not even with mineral make up.
If you go to Sephora the ladies will help you to find a shade that's right for you. They also can give you samples so you can take it home and try it out.
The price is expensive but it will last you a long time. I think it's pretty worth it.
The foundation provides impeccable coverage for every skin type and skin tone, and also protects with a natural SPF 15 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. this is a great product!!!
Wonderful. I have been using this for a few years, and it has improved both the look and overall health of my skin.
When buying this product I recommend buying the set because you get more for your money that way. This foundation is all natural and does not clog the pores, I us it and it makes my redness on my cheeks, nose, and chin disappear. It gives a even complexion unlike liquid foundation wear you have to add to your neck so it does to look like you are two toned. This foundation you do not have to do it, just apply to your face and your are done. You an even you this also as a councilor s well.
I dont wear makeup everyday,cause its a hassle to put it on.But when i tried this,i loved it.It looks so natural.I love the natural look.Ans it is so soft on my skin.
At first I thought that a mineral foundation would never work on my dry skin. I was at Ulta and the sales associate convinced me to try Bare Escentuals. So, I bought the get started kit, took it home, and tried it out. I admit it did take a little getting used to. I used to use a cream pancake type foundation and this application is a bit different. I just tapped a little bit into the lid, swirled the brush, tapped off the excess, and buffed it in. I think at first I made the mistake of using too much foundation and I found that a little goes a long way. It is perfect for my skin, and I do use a primer before applying. I also have dark circles and I find that I don't need to use concealer. I love this product and I won't ever use a liquid or cream foundation again.
I love this make up. It is pricey but worth it. It feels great on my skin, stays on well during the day. The whole set works great together. I have tried other mineral make up but I think this one is superior.
I have dry and sensitive skin, and hate wearing foundation. It would make me break out, or i could feel my skin not breathing. Plus I have a great natural blush, but wanted to tone down some redness or fix imperfections. So when I tried Bare Minerals I found everything I wanted, it is great with my skin, it looks natural, and it doesn't feel like I am wearing makeup. Plus the act of brushing the mineral on your face is like a little spa treatment! I will never go back to liquid foundation again. Plus the price is low, a little goes a very long way. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this product!
