Big fan of bare esenctials' foundation products. former heavy m.a.c. studio f/x user that used to cover and proliferate my blemishes for years. exposed myself to the world and withdrew from my foundation addiction...now only use bare esenctials to grace my clear skin...it's able to cover minor/major blemishes (not to hd-movie perfection, but close enough)

I loved the foundation. It gives my skin a smooth and silky look. I am so happy with it. I have used covergirl ever since I was a teenager, but not any more. I never thought there would be such a big difference, but I absolutely love it. I did my mothers make-up with the foundation as well and I couldn't believe how great it made her look. An excellent product

I have never had what is considered as any facial problem skin.But I had viewed the infomercials for years regarding the Bare Minerals,I pretty much believed the ad,but like so many I waited for a very long time primarily because the ads usually ran so late at night,and I didn't really feel like calling in the early morning.
So one evening while doing ebay searches I found a number of sellers that had the product.
It was a sample package that contained nearly every sample of the Bare Minerals line of products.
I thought it would be a great way to try all of them at once,and get an idea if was worth the money or not.
Well I'm glad I did,again while I have no problems with my skin I did like the fact that the color sceme matched perfectly as I was able to blend the product well into my own neck line.
Unlike many other cosmetic products that often one has to be careful within the area of the neckline there were none with the Bare Minerals product.
I was amazed by how well I could still have my skin breath and yet be wearing a makeup.
It is truely well worth the price.

I bought this product after a friend recommended it. She had been having some issues with her skin and using bare minerals cleared up all her problems. Sadly, there isn't a Sephora in BC so it wasn't until I went on holiday that I got to test Bare Minerals for myself. It's been amazing. I won't go back to using anything else. The first time I used it, I put on too much and I looked like I had it caked on. But after a few more attempts, I've perfected it. Now, I can put on my foundation and concealer without a mirror. It's just that easy. My skin has had fewer breakouts.

The mineral veil is amazing. It gives this incredible matte finish. Even after a light workout, I'm not shiny. Wonderful.

I've also purchased their Buxom lip gloss which is a plumping lip glass. It's great. While I don't think it plumps up my lips, the texture and scent are wonderful.

I will NEVER use another kind of make up. I used to have eczema on my face. That is until I started using Bare Minerals...within a few weeks it cleared up and it has now been 4 years since I starting using bare minerals and I have not had a single breakout of eczema on my face!! I know a lady who put the mineral veil on her daughters legs and within 4 days her daughters eczema was gone. I don't know how it does it but I love this product!!!

I've been using bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation for three years. It is the only foundation that doesn't make my skin break out and it provides SPF coverage. I can apply this and the bareMinerals Mineral Veil on my entire face in under three minutes. Instead of looking cakey or overly made-up, my skin looks more even-toned, refreshed and healthy. So if you're into the natural look, this is a great product but you can also go glam for nighttime. With the brushes and the other products, Bare Escentuals can add up in cost. But if you clean your brushes on a regular basis, the product goes a long way.

Why oh why didn't I buy this stuff years ago when I saw it on TV? I've had a love/hate relationship with foundations since I first attempted to cover up breakouts at age 12. Nothing worked and if it did work - it looked so obvious that I was covering something up. I'd given up on actually doing anything but toning down the little shine I had and had only really worn pressed powder as a base for years.

And then I got a little mad money and headed to Sephora...well I had to visit both Calgary locations before I could find my colour (apparently there are alot of Calgarians needing the light kit).

It was love at first buff. I love how it covers everything without being noticable. I don't have as many breakouts as I have had in the past, but this covers what I do have and looks so natural. What's more - I had a bad skin infection on my face this summer that left me with alot of pigmentation scars...and this stuff covers them too. I am so happy with the entire kit!

I am now a bare minerals convert and look forward to many happy years with my new favourite makeup!

The amazing part about "bareMinerals" is that when you have it on, it doesn't feel like you do...yet it gives you a healthier looking sort of glow. And you don't have to worry about falling asleep in it since it's so pure. I got the starter kit and it was well worth it.
