The products were great , but it felt dry even when I applied moisturizer under it. Disappointed but will try their liquid foundation

I have tried Bare Escentuals on more than one occasion. I had ordered it through QVC and it is a bit pricey. I like the brushes and the foundation, took some time to get use to. I love the mineral veil because it goes well with my liquid foundation.

I recently purchased this product as i wanted to try mineral makeup to help with my sensitive skin. Although a bit expensive for the amount of product, i found the product to work really well. The only downside of this product is the maximum coverage brush. It sheds excessively alot and gets all over your clothes. The brush is soft but because of the shedding you need the additionally time to clean up all the little hairs that come off the brush. The minerals are great, creamy and it does conceal really well. I did see a change in my skin, however the brush issue is a bit irritating.

I got this kit years ago when it first came out. I was skeptical at first because I always used liquid foundation. I actually enjoyed it. I have oily skin and I found it didn't cake up and seperate like other foundations do. It's a great kit to try a ton of different products, but products you would use every single day.

Before using this kit I was a stumbling mess when it came to make up. My routine consisted of eyeliner and mascara because I had no idea how to use the rest. My skin tone was uneven and kind of dull. My mother bought me this kit because she uses and loves the mineral veil and thought this would be perfect for me. It really was! It requires little to no precision so it's not intimidating to use. Its very natural looking but you can pump it up with different shades of these products later on and its really light on your skin.Just follow the directions in the kit and you're good to go! After the kit ran out I bought the blush, original foundation powder and the mineral veil. I'm so so happy that I found out about this product, perfect for a first timer.

If you are thinking about trying Bare Minerals foundation, I suggest you get the starter kit from Sephora. For the value of the kit, you are getting a ton of products.
What each kit includes:
- 2 x 0.06 oz bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation (see shades below)
- 0.06 All Over Face Color in Warmth (in all kits)
- 0.06 oz Mineral Veil (in Fair, Light & Medium kits)
- 0.06 oz Tinted Mineral Veil (in Tan, Dark, & Deep kits)
- Full Flawless Face Brush
- Flawless Application Face Brush
- Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
- a How-to instructional DVD
- BONUS - Exclusively for SEPHORA : 0.05 oz Prime Time Foundation Primer

The kit lasts a long time, especially the mineral veil and and warmth.

I think the starter kit is a great introduction to the bare escentuals line of products. I have found that they work well as long as you make sure you pick the correct shade of foundation. I do think that with all the competition with mineral make up out there now, that bare escentuals products should be cheaper.
