Ahhh!! Bare Escentuals i.d. Bare Minerals. You've probably seen the infomercials on TV. I refuse to use anything else as far as foundation goes. I use their blush and eyeshadows as well and love them, but cannot cannot CANNOT be without the foundation. It's a powder foundatiion.
I was so attached to liquid foundation I at first only used this stuff over a liquid foundation. Unecessary. I just couldn't believe this stuff would work like it did on TV. Finally in March 2006 I decided to forget all liquid foundations and use the Bare Minerals stuff only. It looked BETTER than liquid foundation. It looked like my skin sans the imperfections. It doesn't look like I'm wearing a foundation.
I suffer with hormonal acne and sensitive skin and I'm no less than stunned that I get such amazing coverage. When I put this makeup on and look at how great my skin looks I can't help but feel a boost in my confidence. I worry much less during that time of the month knowing no matter how big bad and red the face invaders get I can conceal them. lol. My skin looks flawless when I use this makeup.
The makeup truly does not contribute to any breakouts. I've slept in the stuff once or twice, which I usually wouldn't do under any circumstances, but it was just too easy to forget I'm wearing any. Best of all I didn't wake in the morning with makeup on my pillow or even a single new blemish.
I highly recommend the foundation (I use "Fair") and the small concealer brush for natural skin-even-ing coverage. I swear by Bare Minerals and would never use anything else. You absolutely get what you pay for. I love it.
Bonus: The foundation has SPF 15!
Also recommended from Bare Escentuals Bare Mineral's: Mineral Veil, Multi-tasking Bisque, their Blush, Bare Radiance, Warmth, their brushes, and "Quick Change" brush cleaner.
A revolutionary new type of makeup, completely organic and hypoallergenic, looks great and lasts all day!
