    I think this foundation gives a pretty good finish, especially when used with the mineral veil. However, I have to put a good amount on before I see it give me my desired coverage. This combined...

    I really loved BE when it first came out a few years ago. I was looking for a makeup with full coverage that lasted and did not look cakey. I have noticed that after awhile, the makeup had...

    I really don't like a product that gives full coverage, as I feel my skin looks half decent on its own. I LOVE this product because you can build coverage or keep it very light. It feels nice on my...

    I really liked this at the beginning - as many of you did and that's why we all bought it right? It's very light and easy to apply, the coverage was good enough for me, with the help of a concealer...

    I know there are many who don't like this, but I love it -- so much, in fact, that I'll never go back to liquid foundations again! This matches my skintone perfectly. I've never had problematic...

    I used this for a few weeks a while back and I did not like it. It's difficult to blend when applied to the skin and doesn't give a lot of coverage depending on how much coverage you need. I also...

    I used this product for several years and did okay with it, but I wasn't really looking for coverage, just to take some of the redness out of my face and it did a good job at that. However, as...

    I've been using this product for a little over a year. It blends in with my natural skin tone well, gives nice coverage, doesn't cause any breakouts, lasts long enough, gives a little SPF...

    Okay so I used this for a year. I have recently stopped using it because it is not as "pure" as the company would like you to think. Case and point: it clogs and enlarges my pores. Once I stopped...

    I was so excited when I finally bought this. It covers quite well and the skin looks healthy and radiant. I used Jane Iredale foundation before, which I liked, but it was more matte than the bare...

    I got a small jar of this as part of BE/Sephora's Try.Believe.Love kit for $20. I picked up Fairly Light. As with every other part of this kit, I dislike this product. I'm combo-oily and sensitive,...

    This is my first time trying mineral foundation. I like that it does not feel heavy or "cakey" in the summer months, matches my skin tone well, is fairly easy to apply, and does not become oily,...

    I am sort of unsure about how I feel about Bare Escentuals. The coverage is really nice but I never feel like it matches my skin tone. And my skin IS fairly light, but doesn't have the same tones...
