    I love Bare minerals. I have had acne problems for most of my life and this is the only product that does not make it worse. It covers red spots and discoloration beautifully. Its $25, which is a lot to me, but worth it. I usually use it up in a month and a half. The mineral veil helps to keep it on longer, and finish the look. It does fade after a few hours, and the powder flies everywhere during application. It also smudges on clothes. I noticed the brush is very important too, the one you get in the starter package is my favorite.

    Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals is amazing !! Truly lives up to its claim !! I was hesitant to try a powder foundation as I have always used liquid. But I am pleasantly suprised how well it covers imperfections and evens out skintone. I suffer with acne and there has been a definite improvement in my skin since switching to mineral foundation. I am also amazed how much more natural this foundation looks.
    If you have fair skin and acne like mine I recommend you use the LIGHT foundation - more detai ...

    I ordered my bare escentuals bare minerals starter kit on monday and I received it today (wednesday) and I paid £40. In the kit you get 2 foundations, a primer, a mineral veil (finishing powder) and a kind of bronzer.

    Now I have extremely pale skin which is quite uneven in tone and I have horrible dark circles. In the past the only way to cover these flaws was with layers and layers of make up which was always cakey, especially under the eyes. I was worried that the bare minerals wou ...

    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 o ...

    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 foundatio ...

    I have very troublesome skin - I'm in my mid thirties and suffer from severe acne/boils and scarring. Whilst I'm waiting to start roaccutane my friend introduced me to this make up and I had a makeover at Champneys in Chichester, Sussex. It covers my skin like no other product has ever done so covering the most red of my scars. I have very oily skin and this product makes me stay matt for most of the day WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I feel a lot younger and more confident already. It is ...

    Absolutely love this product. I've been using bare escentuals for the past 2 months now and I haven't looked back. I used to use a cheaper version of this and liked it at 1st. However I started to get really dry skin no matter how much moisturising I did and the product just stuck to those areas and made it very obvious. I decided to buy the bare escentuals starter kit and found this very easy to apply. My skin has cleared up and now has a healthy glow to it. Plus after a 12 hour shift as a ...

    I have acne rosacea and have tried many types of foundation over the years. A friend recommended Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals and although I was sceptical at first I gave it a try. I went to their shop within Frasers and the sales girl was fantastic. I bought a starter kit which was really great value for money. It is so easy to apply and it gives as much coverage as you want and it's perfect for my skin because it is mineral makeup and doesn't cause a flare up like other makeups do. I wil ...

    feels very light on my skin and the best thing being i dont feel guilty if im too tired to take my makeup off before bedtime.
    I have been using bare minerals eyeshadows for just over a year and loved them. At christmas time just gone i recieved the foundation, mineral veil, concelar, buxton lip gloss and warm radience.

    I find the foundation easy to put on and it does give good coverage but it seems like it refelcts too much light. My face dosnt look greasy just very shiney and glittery.

    I have very acne prone skin and Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals is the only makeup i can wear. I love the way I can keep reapplying it all day long and mix the colours to the shade I like best. I find powders are messier than creams etc, but with a little care it's not hard. I just wish more places sold it!

    Generally I found that Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals was messy. I didn't find that it had any noticeable light reflecting quality and it definitely didn't make me have a health glow - quite the opposite really, as it made me look quite pastie, in addition to which it accentuatetd my lines and made my skin feel tight. Not a good look unless you want to look like Elizabeth the first. I always leave 30 mins or so between moisturising and applying make-up, so can't see that this could have been ...

    I like the coverage of Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals, my skin looks pretty even toned. I have been using BE for over a month. It makes my skin feel very dry, when I smile I can feel and see how tight my skin is (not in a firm way). It is time consuming to put on, so many steps and containers. I realize it is my foundation, blush and powder all in one, but I don't care for the containers at all. It just takes time to unscrew (without spilling it all over in the container), then you have to tap s ...

    I'd like to just say that I think ANYONE giving Bare Escentuals bad reviews either isn't applying them correctly, or is crazy! I love BE and find it hard to see how anyone could say a bad word about them! They outshine any other makeup I have tried and I have been using the whole range for years and would not turn back!

    Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals has been the only makeup that looked natural and didn't cling to all my face fuzz. I have never been able to achieve a decent complexion before this. The fact that it is natural, and doesn't contain any of the weird chemicals that make my skin freak out is a huge plus. I don't have a problem with the powder flying everywhere unless I'm using too much of it (a little goes a long way,) or accidentally dump the container. The little pots last a long time, making it ...

    I know there've been a thousands of great comments about Bare Escentuals cosmetics..and I know I wont be the first woman to scream that it is magic! But still I'd like to share my happiness that finally something like this was invented! I've got the most horrible skin ever: heavy freckles, uneven skin tone, combination of oily & dry areas, large pores, black dots, and fiew spots here and there ocasionaly...and with fiew fine lines and wrinkles becoming more noticable with every day -it's just se ...

    I've been using bare minerals for a week now and my skin has that lovely dewy glow (not sweaty) look I've tried to achieve with my mammoth box of other make up brands. Now I have given all the other products away and just use the foundation, warmth and veil. Getting married in Feb and will definitely be using it and just touching up with veil during the day. I'm really impressed with it.

    I love this makeup! I just turned 38 and was still getting pimples! I thought we outgrew these things! Well anyway a friend told me to try this makeup. I have very light skin and lots of freckles. This makeup covers everything and makes me look natural. No more make up lines and thick sticky makeup everywhere. And as of yet no pimples! I would recommend it to anybody!

    Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals is ace! I don't know why people are giving it bad reviews? Maybe there's a knack to putting it on? I have blotchy, spotty, dry skin, with the occasional oily t-zone, and Bare Minerals works magic on it. I can NEVER find make up that works with my skin, but these powders completely even out my complexion, covers spots, and doesn't cake on them (or dry skin). Infact, the make up is gorgeous, and I'm never turning back. It even covers my dark circles under my eyes, and ...
