I really want to like this product, but every time I use it, my skin feels like it has a film of oil on it after a few hours. I would love to find a mineral foundation that doesn't do this on my...

I've been using this about a week now, and I like it pretty well. I have no experience with the original loose BE foundation, so I can't compare it to that. I will say that everywhere I've seen...

Great product! I used the original loose powder foundation years ago, but this is WAY easier to use. Coverage is very buildable--I use their full coverage brush to apply this, and I still don't...

I went into a Bare Escentuals mall store and had one of their makeup artists color match me for the Ready product. I ended up being a Medium. She also used the redness remover, warmth, and a...

I think people might be getting hung up on expecting it to be just like the original, but you need to think of it as a different foundation altogether. For me the selling point is how easy it is to...

I love this. I've been using the matte loose powder for awhile, and while that is all right, it tends to dry out my face and go all cakey on me. The original was too shiny for my taste. I...

This foundation especially but with the original also, you must use a primer and with the Ready you do not buff it in that is how it will cake up. You need to just lightly run the brush over your...

I purchased this on a Monday & was ready to return it on Wednesday. The coverage with the Bare Minerals Correcting Concealer (which I like) was decent, however, I arrived at work at 9:30 am &...

I really like this foundation! I have used the original Bare Minerals foundation (too "luminous"/shiny) and the matte formula (too cakey). I don't like to look made up. For me, this foundation has...

I use the original formula and wanted to try this considering that compact is less mess than loose. Unfortunately, none of the shades match my skin tone. My shade is Medium Beige in the original...

Count me among the fans. I watched some application tutorials and read the reviews, and decided to splurge on the dense, angled brush. As for color matching, I was confuzzled, so I had to do it...

I have always hated BE. Tried their powders when it was the "new big thing!" and didn't get it. Tried their lip glosses and such, still didn't get it. They have redeemed themselves. I tried...

Those of you that are giving this product a bad rating need to use a different brush. This foundation is very finely milled and isn't super densely packed in the pan. This means you can't just...
