Review Summary: I'm finally willing to wear foundation! |

Details: I have never worn foundation in my life. I hated being able to feel it on there, & I hated the effort of washing it off every night & how long it took to put on. This has solved all those problems. Applying the foundation takes maybe 30 seconds. I don't feel like I have anything on my face at all. Family was telling me how nice I looked, but when I told them I was wearing foundation they were surpised. It looked so natural. And this stuff won't hurt your skin if you leave in on at night. So no big hassle when you're tired & want to go to bed. The starter kit is the way to go; I was going to try just the foundation & was glad I got the starter kit. It's a really good deal over buying the things seperately as well. |

Review Summary: Second times'a charm!!!! |

Details: I can certainly related to all the 20 plus posted comments about this product both good and bad . I too suffer from post acne, large pores, and oily skin. The first time I tried BareMinerals I was like a few of you, couldnt see a difference, didnt know if I was putting it on right, didnt have the right color (being that I am a woman of color) thought it was a was of money. And you know what I threw away the first foundation jar never to buy it again, until I saw the infomerical about the product and of course, a shopping channel that will remain nameless that sells this particular product. So I decided to try one more time. What made me a believer the second time around was that I made sure of a few things:
Always use "Mineral Veil" first as a primer.
Then use "Warmth" as a concealer, highlighter and any other imperfections.
Make sure you always "Buff, Tap, Swirl" everything time. It is a certain way you have to work into the skin.
And lastly to use "Mineral Veil" as a finishing powder.
I will say this, I do disagree with Leslie saying all you need is a little of the powder and that's that. No makeup artist worth their grain can ever create such a perfect canvas for the skin just by using one product and very little of the product. Not going to happen. You may need a several "swirls, taps, buffs" to get the look, you may need to use moisturizer in the powder so your face won't dry out. You might need to custom blend several shades to get that color you always wanted. It happens.
All I am saying is that the product does work, if you are willing to work with it, unless you have a severe reaction to it by all means get your money back. I gave this product a second chance and now that Leslie has added three new shades for women of color I am glad I did!!!! |

Review Summary: A must buy! |

Details: This is the best thing I have ever bought. I can look good and natural at the same time, it is amazing.
Now, I have to be honest. When I saw this product on tv on commercials and the advertisement on the channel QVC, I didn't really all the way believe it. But at one point I got so frustrated about my makeup (I have tried almost everything that's possible for foundation), I went right online one night and order it. It has a return guarantee, so what did I have to lose? And everyone has said such great things about it, I just had to try it. If I didn't like it, I'd just take it back....
When I first received it in the mail my first reaction was--"it is this small?" Really, it's smaller than I thought, but I figured out why after I used it. I think this stuff will last me for years! I only have to use just a tiny bit to cover my whole entire face--it is sooo amazing.
My old makeup was awful! Let me explain. I have very oily skin and acne scars, so finding the right makeup is difficult. I have worn liquid makeup for quite some time now, and let me tell you it was not my solution. I put it on and two hours later it has already melted off my face. To cover my acne scars, I first have apply concealer, but that only made my face look the more "unnatural." And since my face is oily, liquid only makes my face look shiny and greasy, plus unnatural.
When I put Bare Minerals on my face, I was so shocked.
(1) It took such a tiny amount to cover my entire face
(2) It looks so natural, I don't even look like I'm wearing any makeup, yet my face looks flawless
(3) It gave me a little glow
(4) It actually covered my acne scars!!! (not the pimples though)
I love it!! The price was so worth it and I will never, ever wear liquid again!
This stuff is a dream. I love that it also has sunscreen. And just the fact that I'm not putting harmful ingredients on my face makes it all so wonderful. I don't have to worry about the effects of liquid makeup--blemish causing and early wrinkles. It's safe to actually sleep in this stuff!!! Wow. How natural can you get?
Bare Minerals is so wonderful. It makes your skin flawless but natural. If you were like me and don't have a makeup solution, what do you have to lose to try this great stuff? It's money back guarantee, and I'm sure you'll love it. Every female should try it! |

Review Summary: Makeup as Art |

Details: In my over twenty years of trying numerous foundations, I have yet to see anything cover and perfect all while allowing the natural radiance of your skin to shine through. This powdery foundation is like powdered gold. Not only do the crushed minerals shimmer ever so delicately, they are magical once they touch your skin.
The lightness of the product is fascinating and you feel as if you are not wearing foundation. The free feeling and the beautiful complexion you achieve through the use of Bare Escentuals may make you want to try all their products. The kits are a good way to introduce your skin to the products because they include the brushes you need to apply this powdery foundation.
The Artist in you will love the way you apply this makeup. Each container of powder has many possibilities. You can blend more warmth or add a touch of summer shimmer. Once you have your foundation on, the possibilities are endless.
This product is free of preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance, dyes and irritating chemicals. Once I put on this makeup, I thought I was dreaming. My skin adores this product and liquid makeup is history! The mineral veil also keeps away shine and is the perfect compliment to this foundation. This makeup and the delicious Lush bath products are my finds of the year. I take a bath with one of the bath ballistics and then apply this makeup and feel like the world is a more beautiful place. Bare Escentuals will add the magic of radiant skin so your natural beauty is never hidden from the world.

Review Summary: Truly AMAZING product! |

Details: After hearing good reviews from my sister, I recently purchase a Bare Escentuals (BE) starter kit. I was excited about the possibility of such easy makeup application; however, I was VERY skeptical that I would be able to conceal eye circles, scarring, and blemishes with foundation powder and a special concealer brush. Yeah Right! I was fully convinced that if I liked the mineral makeup, I would use the foundation powder but still have to carry my trusty liquid concealer.
Imagine my surprise after the first application to find that not only was the foundation light and comfortable, but the "special" concealer brush ACTUALLY WORKED! I didn't even have to use a separate concealer color (I am very pale, so most concealers are darker than my skin tone rather than the recommended lighter concealer color), I just used the same foundation powder color, and my face looked truly FLAWLESS!
All I had to do was apply all my face makeup (foundation, bronzer, blush, finishing powder "Mineral Veil") and use the concealer brush to dot and blend foundation powder on blemishes/circles/etc as the last step. (Some people apply concealer prior to other face makeup, but that didn't work great for me. Also, I know they tell you to apply light layers and buff completely, but this is TRULY the trick to mineral makeup application. Plus, using just a tiny bit makes the product last a LONG time, which allows me to feel a little better about spending so much money on makeup.)
I was AMAZED at how much coverage the "powder" provided (the mineral makeup foundation is a very creamy powder, but that was a pleasant surprise as well, as it provides much more coverage than a standard loose powder) while still feeling light, comfortable, and natural. I am finding that the application of mineral products is just getting easier and easier, and my skin tone has improved dramatically over the last couple weeks of using such a natural product.
The coverage is truly amazing, and at least for me, it stays put pretty much all day. I also doubted that the SPF 15 could really protect my face, especially since my pale skin burns REALLY easily. But after a day in the sun having forgotten sunscreen, my shoulders were burned, but my face was burn-free. INCREDIBLE!
I realize that mineral products do not work as well for every person/skin-type, but I highly recommend trying mineral makeup (either BE, very well known, or Everyday Minerals, who offer a free sample kit) as a more natural makeup choice with surprisingly full coverage. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! |
