reviews I bought the Get Started kit because a co-worker raved about it. I have sensitive skin, so normally have a really hard time finding foundation that isn't irritating. Bare Escentuals didn't irritate my skin, but wasn't very flattering. It looked like it was floating over my skin, so you could tell my skin was dry in spots and red in others. It didn't blend well, and was overall not very good coverage. If you have normal, non-dry or ruddy skin, this might be fine for you, but it just doesn't work for me. I was really disappointed.

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! [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.
I got this product because i wanted light coverage. I didnt really like it because i couldnt find a shade that worked best with me. I also didnt find the coverage as good as MACs Studio Fix. But it is great if you have break outs i know. I would recommend this product if you can find your shade and are looking for light coverage. I also recommend getting the mineral brush because i think that it does apply the product better than a normal brush.

I was recommended to this product from a couple of friends and I was hesitant at first because I was not the type to wear make up everyday. But I actually found this product really easy to use (and it was kind of fun)! It doesn't feel like make up and it is light. I bought the Starter Kit from Sephora as well as another smaller set from The Shopping Channel. I think this product is good for women that do not have alot of time to get ready in the morning, are interested in the natural look and are looking for a light to medium coverage. The only downfall is that this product is quite pricey. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews I have oily sensitive skin and my skin really did not react well to this product at all. I completely broke out and, sadly, it took me several weeks to confirm 100% that it was because of the bare escentuals line. Thankfully, I can still go and return some of the products at Sephora but the first kit I bought was from the Shopping Channel - and this stuff is not cheap...

reviews I have tried several mineral makeups, and this is the best by far. It stays on longer, the coverage is more complete, and it feels lighter! I did get another-smaller-brush however. I found that the smaller brush makes less of a mess, and is easier to control. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews I have been color matched for Bare Escentuals foundation at least four separate times. And every time, it looked either way too yellow, or like I was wearing a horrible ashy zombie mask. So gross. Aside from my own personal experience, I've used this product many times on other people and the coverage is fair at best. The loose powder gets all over the place, the brushes fall apart and the complexion enhancers are full of these sparkley bits that, seriously, make you look absolutely ridiculous. There are so many better, cheaper, more effective products on the market. Shame, Bare Escentuals, shame!

reviews I first came across mineral makeup after starting to see a dermatologist for acne issues. Considering my very sensitive skin they recommended I try mineral makeup (they started me out on a different brand than BE). I fell in love with the concept and effects of mineral makeup. My skin is not irritated by the makeup at all. PLUS, I have a very pale complexion and always had a hard time finding the right color but was never successful - even the liquid Ivory's were too dark. I hated the goopy, greasy, streaky mess of liquid foundations and am glad that for me they have gone by the wayside. Bare Escentuals, a San Francisco based company, provides the most widely accessible, well-known, broad line of mineral makeup. It is a bit pricey but the makeup lasts and lasts and is so much more convenient than anything else I have ever come across! Updated On: Sep 15, 2008 I've been using this makeup for 6 years and wouldn't dare use anything else.

my face is red around the apples of my cheeks and this covered it up so well. Normally, i have to reapply a bit more by mid-day, but i haven't had to yet with this and i've been using it for a few months now.

reviews Love, love, LOVE this makeup! I've been using it for 2 years after my boss recommended it, and I'm totally satisfied. Every time I wear it I get compliments on my skin (which isn't the clearest, glowing skin out there) and I love the fact that it looks like I'm not wearing any at all. The trick with this makeup is to buff, buff, buff into the skin, or you will get a cakey look. I LOVE the brushes as well, they are so soft and I love applying makeup with a brush. I definitely recommend this to all my friends, and anyone else who asks me about it.
