 Best makeup purchase I've ever made September 23, 2008
I recently went into the B.E. store here in Connecticut and was pleased to find a knowledgeable employee to help me with this purchase. The product doesn't cake and stays amazingly well through the day. I change clothes often and it doesn't rub off. My skin has improved as well, after using it every day for 2 weeks. I'll never go back to liquid concealer. The SPF was a big selling point for me and my fair skin and knocked one step off my regimen.
 Made face burn and breakout September 17, 2008

I had a makeover done at the Bare Escentuals store in the mall. The sales person told me the makeup was all natural and safe for all skin types. I have rosascea and she assured me the product would not hurt my skin. I also have medium sized pores (hidden with other makeups)and very oily skin. So, the makeover was done. I have to say I was not impressed with the overall look. It sank into my pores and made them look huge. I also looked pale and plastic-like. I did not buy the product. Decided to go home and see how it looked as the day went on. It just became a cakey mess on my oily skin. When I began to sweat the makeup started to burn and sting my face. So I washed it off. Later I noticed splotchy red welts and whiteheads over my nose, cheeks and forehead. I later found out the culprit may be bismuth oxychloride, a product that many people are allergic to. This is also what gave me that plastic look. I am very glad that I tried it out before buying it. I would recommend that anyone who was interested in this product to go to Bare Escentuals store or Sephora and test it out first. Wear it home, sweat in it, whatever. I'm sure the product works for lots of people but not me. If you have sensitive skin or rosascea I believe you should think twice about using any product with bismuth oxychloride in it.
 BM for older skin September 4, 2008

So, I grew up when the "natural" look was in and no one wore any make-up at all. It's been a struggle getting older and trying various make-up products to try to cover age spots and even out my complexion. Let's face it, the natural look doesn't work when you're in your fifties. I have, as you would expect, mostly dry skin with a somewhat oily nose. For a couple of years, I used Lauren Hutton's Good Stuff and liked it pretty well. However, I found that it was pretty time consuming to apply and rubbed off on the collar of my clothes. On a whim, I bought the Get Started kit and have been using it ever since. I really love the ease of use for this product. Even when I'm rushing out of the house, it's so simple to just swipe the brushes over your face to cover any uneven spots, dust on a little Warmth and Blush and you're out the door! Despite other peoples experience with Bare Minerals and oily skin, I've found that over time the pores on my nose have gotten smaller using Bare Minerals! Also, on evenings when I'm going out and may want a little more coverage, I'll use more foundation by swirling, tapping and applying about 2 or three times. However, before I put on mascara and eye make-up, etc. I'll spray a super-fine water mist over my whole face and let it dry without touching it. This step seems to "set" the foundation and keeps my make-up from looking heavy or cakey. For me it's worth the extra effort. I'm 57 yrs. old and was worried that any powdered make-up would make my skin look even more dried out and lined but I get compliments all of the time and people who are surprised when I tell them my age!?
Sorry but I like Sheer Cover so much better! August 29, 2008

I've always been a Sheer Cover user since it came out on TV. Then I kept seeing the Bare Minerals commercials too. I thought one day I'd goto Spehora & buy the Bare Minerals and see if it works the same or better. Well I have to say Sheer Cover is so much better. Sheer Cover feels better and looks better. So I am giving this one star.
the best August 18, 2008
i have been using bare escentuals for two years now and i've seen my skin improve dramatically. I tried a different mineral foundation once and it broke my skin out so i went back to BM. The best
