Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Review

Overall Rating

perfect match
hides acne and scaring, while not making face look heavy
for me: doesn't cause break outs + dries out spots (N.B. I was only using it for a week)
looks super natural!!!

I probably wouldn't go for it if my skin was good. It takes time to apply, u need to learn how to do that + it's quite messy (especially to travel with)

I am new to BE, but I found the brand absolutely amazing for my skin. I am 23, and I've suffered from acne all my life. I've got loads of acne scaring, some active acne, blackheads, uneven skin tone. I started having quite deep wrinkles as well, cause I was trying to get rid of my acne too hard, lol. I've tried thousands of foundations (cause I wear foundation every day), which either caused me to break out even more, or exagerated all my imperfections. It was quite difficult to find a foundation to match my skin tone as well, cause I've got fair skin, but just couldn't hide my imperfections using light foundations.
I've read a lot about bare minerals before buying the starter kit. I was really excited to try it on, after all the good things I've heard about it, I was just praying it works for me. But when i tried it on first, I got really disappointed, as although it hided all the imperfections, it highlighted the wrinkles. I just washed it off and decided to try once again. it didn't work either. Finally, I realized I need to watch the CD, cause I might have done something wrong. And then, it appeared I am using far too much of it!! I was used to apply loads of make up, so that all my imperfections were hidden, but it is not the case with BE!!! Third time I applied it, it looked gorgeous, and I was extremely happy and satisfied!! So now, I just put quite a lot of foundation with CONCEALER brush over all my scars, acne, etc. And then I use just a tiny amount (which is totally enough), in order not to exagerate my wrinkles. My skin has never looked so good, natural (except probably when I was a baby) u can't even tell if there's any make up on me at all!! matches my skin tone perfectly while hiding all the imperfections!!!!! I am amazed, honestly!!! I am finally happy with my skin!!
As I was doing deep internet research before buying BE foundation (I have tried so many foundations which didn't work for me (including very expensive ones), and I've got about 15 at home at the moment) cause I didn't wanna waste more money on something useless. I've read that it causes some people break out, so I would recommend to go to a shop and ask a make up artist to put BE foundation on for u (in UK they do it for free). Just don't buy it at once, test it for one day! You'll see if it works for you! And then, next day u can decide if you need it at all:)) In that case you won't be disappointed!:)))
