I hated using Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals, it made my face break out so BAD!!!
I had previously heard great things about the product and decided to try it. So i went to Selfridges and was told what shade would suite my skin tone and how to apply it. It cost me £45.
I'm 20 and still have a few spots and oily/sensitive skin. Bare Escentuals stated that the product was all natural and much more suitable for acne prone skin because it doesn't clog pores. I thought all my dreams had come at once, but what i wasn't told was that the product contained Bismuth Oxychloride: a well known SKIN IRRITANT!
After the first day of wearing it, i had ENORMOUS white and red SPOTS on my face and it took weeks to finally get rid of them. I took the product straight back and i will not be using it again.

There are other products which are much better, and do not contain skin irritants such as The Body Shop Mineral Foundation which also has a nicer brush and PurityCosmetics (although they only sell online). I will recommend these products but not Bare Minerals.
