Doesn't cover anything and wears off way too quickly.

this wasn't to my liking, for the price they want for this is crazy, it leaves a build up in cresses , Doesn't cover well at all , and it doesn't last .

BareMinerals are expensive, and are the worst ripoff! I used this product for years, thinking I wasusing the product wrong when I came across a similar product called Korres that lets you put on the makeup the exact same way. I found out that it was not me, but the poor quality products of BareMinerals!!

This foundation is decent, but unfortunately it broke me out severely. I never EVER break out, especially on my cheeks and this did just that. It didn't cover everything I wanted it to cover and I don't know, just wasn't worth it for me.

Bare Escentuals is the first mineral makeup that I tried and it left me with the feeling that mineral makeup was not for me. I have combination-to-oily skin, and this foundation did everything wrong. It settled into fine lines making them look far deeper than they actually are. It added an unnatural (and unhealthy looking) sheen to my face. It caused an itchy sensation that drove me nuts, and I don't have sensitive skin.

It turns out that the itchy, irritated feeling is caused by one of the ingredients: Bismuth. I've learned to stay clear of that ingredient when it comes to mineral makeup. Ironically, it is used in Pepto Bismal, so I guess it is better to ingest it than blend it into you skin!

Everyday Minerals works well for me, as does Meow Minerals and many others. However, I'll never use Bare Escentuals again.

After hearing so many good things about this makeup & my mom & aunt raving about how much they loved it I thought I would try it so I bought the starter kit at the Bare Escentuals store for about $60 I think. I really really wanted to like this makeup but I have to say I'm not a huge fan. I don't normally wear foundation but I thought this would be good to even out my skin tone & I was disappointed. I didn't like the foundation brush that the kit came with at all because it shed bristles all over my face & chest, I had to constantly brush myself off. I thought the foundation was a bit too powdery for me & it got everywhere!

the powder is okay but kind of hardly works becous it okay but its jus not worth it

It's an overhyped, overpriced MMU. Contains bismuth oxychloride, which many women (myself included) are allergic to - This causes itching, especially when you're warm or sweaty. In my case, it caused severe itching, to the point where I felt like clawing my face off, and cystic acne. The colour match was extremely orange in natural light (my BF thought I had highlighter in my face), and coverage was inconsistent. Save your money and look for a good MMU online - Silk Naturals is my current fave.

I was so excited to buy the Bare Minerals starter kit. After using it for about a week I started to get red, itchy circles underneath my eyes. I generally use makeup from Shopper's Drugmart - nothing special, and have never had a reaction before. My redness lasted for two weeks. I felt embarrassed to go out into public!

Luckly, I bought the starter kit at Sephora and they returned all of my money. I would stay far far away from this product in the future!

I bought the start-up kit based on all of the amazing reviews. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. This stuff is very expensive, so I guess I was expecting better results. I have dry skin and the Bare Minerals just seemed to accentuate that fact. I used a moisturizer and prime time prior to the powder but my skin looked so much more dry and flaky after applying the powder. It's also messy. I'm glad to hear it works for so many, but I think I will stick with my liquid foundation which works great.
