 Horrible November 24, 2009
D. Marudova
Upon first buying this product- a hefty $60 plus tax- I was very excited to use it! I wore it for a while, and got numerous compliments on how healthy my skin is looking. However, a few weeks later I started to notice that I was breaking out everywhere! I have good skin and have never had a breakout as bad as this. I have little clumps of whiteheads together on my cheeks, zits on my chin, forhead, and hairline! It is absolutely disgusting, it won't go away even though i discontinued using this product around 3 weeks ago. Now I have to go to the dermatologist so I can be prescribed retinol for my acne. I definitely do not recommend this AT ALL.
this is the best make-up ever!!! November 19, 2009

I have beeb using Bare Escentual make-up for many years and I will never use any other brand!!!I do not like to look "made-up"and I love how natural the results are plus the ease of operation. I want to try the new brush with the foundation included in it..I love these products and I have convinced many menbers of my family to use them too..
 I wasn't impressed by this product. November 18, 2009

In a nutshell, Bare Minerals did indeed provide good coverage, but the color of the foundation (fair) was very flat on my skin. It didn't provide that glow that I had expected, but instead a dull, flat color. The bronzer only made my skin look unnatural with my fair complexion. I have combination skin, and I also found that even after a couple hours of wearing Bare Minerals, it became cakey in my most oily spots, and built up in the creases of my nose. The makers of Bare Minerals say "It's so light you can sleep in it." Well I wouldn't recommend sleeping with this product on your face. YOU WILL BREAK OUT. Overall.. I wouldn't recommend paying $25+ for this product.

At first I loved bareminerals and pur minerals. But after only a few hours My face feels so gross and oily. It feels very heavy on my skin. I can't wait to get home and take it off everyday. That is not how you should feel about your makeup. I switched to Neutrogena's mineral makeup and so far love it. It is missing 2 ingredients that the other mineral makeups have and I think that is what makes the difference. It's light and covers well. The only thing is the lady at Ulta told me to get a light concealer then the foundation, well that was wrong, I looked like a ghost. I am getting the same color today.
Skeptical but Proven Wrong!! October 31, 2009

I ordered this product and I'm not going to lie... I was pretty skeptical. I have dry, sensitive skin with some discoloration from old acne scars and have used the same foundation for 10 years now. I felt like I needed a change as the foundation I was using just wasn't doing it anymore. However, my skin breaks out with pretty much anything but I thought I'd still give it a shot. I wasn't sure what shade I would be so I went into a local store that sells it and tried on certain shades. Once I found my shade I ordered it online since you get a little more bang for your buck.
Once I received it I watched the video. Seemed simple enough. I tried it on my own and at first I couldn't really tell a difference until my boyfriend came home and asked what I had done differently. He said my face looked beautiful. Hmmm... Maybe it works after all I thought. So I wore it to work the next day and got so many compliments on my skin. Many people stated that I had a certain new healthy glow to me. Fantastic!!
I've been using it for a couple weeks now and can honestly say I will never go back to any other foundation. No breakouts or rashes for me!
The trick is to make sure to moisturize your face beforehand so the minerals have something to cling to (just be sure your moisturizer is fully absorbed before you apply BM-like 5 minutes.) As for people saying it's too messy I think they are using far too much to start with, but just in case you are a messy person (which I thought I may be)just put the makeup on over the box they ship the product in. It will keep your counters clean anyway. Like I said though, I have had little to no mess with it.
Overall, I was very impressed and very happy with this product. They got a user for life out of me!!
