Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product! Comment: I have been using this product exclusively since 2003. It goes on very light yet provides good coverage. I have very oily skin and I have not had to reapply, even after a workout. Prior to using mineral foundation, I used Estee Lauder's "Camouflage" foundation and Bare Escentuals coverage is just as good. Liquid foundation tends to settle in around the wrinkles, hence making us appear older.
To the women who used Bare Escentuals and claimed it made them look older - they probably have very dry skin or used a shade that was too light, or applied too much. I have recommended this product to all of my friends and they love it, too. I am completely sold on the mineral foundation! I would never use the liquid type again.
Customer Rating: Summary: good stuff Comment: I was having trouble finding this item in a store, and was relieved to discover it on line. It arrived in good condition, and within a reasonable time after I placed my order. Customer Rating: Summary: wonderful! Repeat customer Comment: I have been wearing this make-up line since Nov. 07 and won't switch to anything else. At one point I waited too long to purchase another foundation and in desperation I ran out to the local drug store and purchased "mineral" make-up. The quality of the store bought make-up can not compare to Bare Minerals, HANDS DOWN! The other cheaper stuff smelled heavily of talcum powder, and by far did not provide the coverage I was used to with Bare Minerals.
I used to be self conscious about my makeup all day, checking on it several times a day and worried that it had smeared off on my shirt. This make-up is worry free. I put it on in the morning, and don't worry about it all day. Plus, I have never had trouble with it rubbing off on to something else or feeling heavy. I highly reccommend this makeup. I have oily skin, and it works great.
One key to remember is to apply moisturizer prior to the make-up, and you're all set~! Customer Rating: Summary: Worst let down ever! Try Alima instead... Comment: I loved this makeup ...at first... but then my not-so-sensitive skin started to react to something...really BADLY! I've never had such bad breakouts in my life, even as a teenager! I have stopped using Bare Escentuals for a little over two weeks now and my skin is STILL burning, red, itchy and absolutely horrid! I'm using Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream to heal it. How can they sell this stuff if such a large percentage of people are having trouble with it? It covers beautifully and was long-lasting so it's a terrible let down. I've never had such a bad experience with makeup in my life!
I just ordered some samples from Alima cosmetics (after doing a lot of research on pure/natural mineral makeup)and they have some great colors! NO bismuth oxychloride or whatever it was that killed my skin...down with Bare Escentuals!
Customer Rating: Summary: excellent product Comment: I have been using this product for a few years now, it's definately expensive but seems to be worth it. I have a problem with adult acne and have noticed a dramatic decrease in my breakouts. When I run out I use liquid as my backup and really miss my BE Mineral Makeup, my skin "feels" like I have foundation on, when I use the mineral makeup I can't really feel it.
