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~!

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!

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.

I recently became a user of Bare Minerals makeup (foundation and blush) and am highly disappointed in this product.
I am 36 years old and for years had been using liquid foundation. Several months ago, a friend of mine told me about Bare Minerals. On May 14, 2008, I ordered the starter kit on Sephora.com. I received the product in a week or so and started using it immediately. At first, I loved how it looked and felt. I thought it made my face look very "fresh" and it felt very light as if I was wearing no makeup.
After about 3 weeks of use, I noticed some redness and breakouts. As I write this review today, I have a full-blown rash across my forehead, breakouts over my face, and am extremely itchy. I have had this rash for 2 weeks now and it is not going away. I started thinking that I must be having an allergic reaction to something but didn't think that it might be this new makeup. I have been using no other new products, detergents, lotions...etc and have not eaten anything out of the ordinary. I could not figure out what could be causing this terrible reaction.
Then I did some online research and started reading review after review of people with the same reaction! I am stopping use of the product IMMEDIATELY and have contacted Sephora to return the makeup and get a credit. I am disgusted that this makeup is touted as all natural yet has some ingredients (bismuth oxychloride) that can be harmful and cause terrible irritations to some people. I did not see a warning or disclaimer associated with this makeup.
I just typed an email to the CEO, Leslie Blodgett (leslie@bareescentuals.com) asking if she is at all concerned about these allergic reactions due to use of the product that she has helped to create? Does she feel good about selling this to the public?
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

I am really impressed with Bare Mineral foundation. I never used foundations before b/c I didn't like look or feel of foundations. I am 35 y.o. Asian woman and started to notice few sun spots and sun damage to my skin so I wanted something that would last all day since putting on moisturizer in the morning doesn't work all day. I was about to order Bare minerals makeup through their BM website but did not like automatic enrollment where they send you makeup every two months and charge you automatice billing. So I checked out Amazon and thankfully they had it. BTW, I really like Amazon store they have awesome prices and so convient. Also, buying thru amazon, the same product was slightly cheaper.
I watched the DVD and I put the foundation on using their brush, I used "warmth" color on my cheeks, and used the Veil for shine control. I used Tan color because of my asin skin color and plus I have summer tan. I am Very Very pleased with my look. First it looks natural, it really brings out the warmth tone of my skin, and excellent shine control. 2nd, it does not feel like I have makeup on at all. It really enhanced my complexion, color, and great skin. I went for a walk outside in the afternoon during summer, foundation was still on very well and provided excellent sun coverage. My frekles did not pop out. Also, foundation did not fall on the lines of face, I felt I looked younger and radiant. It allowed my eye makeup and eye brow makeup to go on easier and smoother.
I would recommend putting on moisturizer prior to foundation. But wait few minutes before putting on foundation after moisurizing. I use Olay complete moisturizer for sensitive skin with SPF15.
Now I will be using BM foundation daily. It is fun to put it on!
