    Bare Escentuals is by far my favorite foundation. I have tried all different kinds, including liquid, mousse, and other mineral/powder foundations, but this one was the most natural looking for...

    I just bought the starter kit and I love it. My face is very oily, especially the T-zone. I spend a lot of time during the day blotting the oil. I put this on in the morning and my face did NOT...

    I have been using this stuff for years as an alternative to liquid foundation. However, I recently found L'oreals similiar version and prefer it MUCH better. The "light" color is way too yellow,...

    I never could get this to look good on my face. No matter what I tried, it always looked unnatural. Shiny and 'crystally' my husband said. And that from someone who usually always answers "you...

    I've been using BE for over a year and I love it. I've never had any issues with it. I don't care for the bisque as a concealer, but as an eyeshadow base it's great. This is the only make-up for...

    Sounds like BE is a love/hate product. I love it. I've been using it for a couple of years with none of the problems reported. My 50ish combo skin looks great - the powder does not highlight any...

    I really don't like this! I have combination skin, and it slides right off of the t-zone and makes the sides of my face break out horribly, and I've never had acne before! I've used other mineral...

    I am 47 yrs old and have never bought the same foundation twice until now. I will not even try anything else! If you're on the fence about trying, go to ebay and get a sample. Good luck!

    I do not like this make-up at all. It highlights every wrinkle and problem area on my face and looks very unnatural. I have tried several other cheaper brands of mineral make-up (Loreal and...

    One product will not work for everyone, so you have to read the reviews and take what you want out of them. YOU WILL NOT LIKE BARE MINERALS IF YOU LIKE THAT MATTE MAKE-UP LOOK (which to me look so...

    This is NOT for people with large pores. It settles into your pores & ascentuates them. BE is also a little too glowy for my already oily skin, so it makes me look like a disco ball, not fun!!...
