I had stopped using Bare Escentuals for a few years. Recently I tried the matte version in fairly light. I fell in love. It has great coverage and does not accentuate lines or pores. It is...

It's a very nice powdered foundation that gives a natural look and at the same time it covers blemishes. But, I found that after a long use, it dried my skin a lot. I would reccomend it for those...

I tried BE Original several years ago, but the bismuth in it made me itch like crazy by the afternoon, especially in warmer weather. I recently tried the Matte, thinking the bismuth in the...

This foundation was great on my skin, it felt like I wasn't wearing makeup. Pros- lightweight, blendable, many color selections. Def. More as a summer/spring foundation for those who want a light...

I'm an NC35/40 with oily/acne-prone skin, and this foundation matches pretty well with my skin tone. This was my first foundation and I would say that it's not a major failure. It doesn't make...

After actually throwing away some Loreal mineral powder thing years ago, ('ruddy muddy') I had sworn off the 'mineral' bandwagon, so I am not sure how I ended up with a pack of this! I think I...

As a new makeup user, this was my first high-end powder foundation purchase, and I loved it. I chose matte because I didn't want it to make me break out, and I love the SPF bonus. It's a great...

Everyone's raving about Bare Escentuals so I had to give it a try. It wasn't too horribly expensive ($28-$30 at the Bare Escentuals store, but plus tax it came out to $34) The people that work at...

This is my day to day foundation. I really like this because it doesn't have bismuth oxychloride. I use it with a dust of Glo perfecting powder on top. It doesn't break me out and when blended well...

I bought it, hoping that the minerals won't break my skin out! It didn't! Although you might have to apply a concealer to conceal some flaws as the bare powder itself won't give you much coverage...

You can get the remaining Matte Foundation out of the container by unscrewing the bottom (you'll see that it's recessed a little). I wouldn't have known this except for a QVC review.

Bare minerals is so popular, and it's for a good reason. It's a fantastic foundation. I have to be careful with what I put on my skin, and bare minerals is the only foundation I will use right now....
