Bare Escentuals I.D. Bare Minerals Foundation

I bought the starter kit - mainly because I had run out of sponges for my liquid foundation. But also out of curiosity. I've tried mineral eye shadows before and have been thoroughly impressed by the vibrancy of the color and how little you actually needed. And so - the next step: foundation

I love the way the mineral foundation covers and leaves no trace of make-up on your face - especially considering you put 3 different layers on your face (base, foundation and bronzer). It's so light and actually helps prevent break-outs because your skin is allowed to breathe.

My only 'beef' is that it doesn't really take care of shine. Especially when you use the liquid skin 'prep' - it only seems to add to the sheen of your skin - which not everyone enjoys. I would suggest using a matte face lotion before using the I.D. Bare Minerals foundation if you have oily skin.

This is the most amazing makeup in the world!!!

Absolutely love this foundation. No matter how many times I try regular liquid foundation I always go back to this. I never feel like I'm wearing make-up. It evens out my skin and I can control how much coverage I want. The best part is that I never get a foundation line on my face like regular liquid foundation. It lasts through work-outs, humidity, rain, etc. I sleep in it and wake up not feeling guilty about it!

I will not wear any other makeup! I love this stuff. It is so easy to find now compared to when I started wearing it years ago.

I really am a huge fan of Bare Minerals and if you can afford it and are one of those people who wants to advertise that she uses a brand name like Bare Minerals - I say go for it. It's clearly of the highest quality and works like a charm to cover as a foundation. I found it to be long wearing, and the colors are perfect for my fair skin.

However - I've tried lots of mineral makeups that are on the market and there are several options that are just as effective and less expensive. Bottom line - it IS a great product and I highly recommend it. But - if you want a good mineral makeup and a low price, this is not your brand.

I have been using Bare Escentuals for 3 years now and I love it.

I love this makeup! My DH took me to a Sephora store to get a makeover. They used the Bare Escentuals and I fell in love with it.
The makeup leaves my face feeling light and airy. It compliments and doesn't overpower my skin tone.
It goes on smooth and doesn't require a lot to do the job.
The best part is that my fingers don't get messy like they did with liquid makeup.
It is a tad pricey but worth every penny.

This is by far the best foundation I have ever used. I felt it was a little expensive so I tried one by Loreal. It doesn't compare AT ALL! Stick to this one, you won't regret it.

Takes a litte to get used to, but wonderful makeup

Bought this off of the Sephora website a few years ago, just when mineral make up was taking off. I don't recommend this product for dry skin ladies. The mineral powder comes off easily, there is no coverage and just makes you feel chalky all day. The only good thing I got out of buying a bare minerals package was their brushes which I use with the MAC mineral makeup. MAC's mineral makeup is a lot better, I have yet to try Sheer Cover.
