    I used this brand for a few years on and off in the shade medium beige. Recently, bare escentuals improved its packaging so that the sifter part closes and you don't have powder leaking everywhere....

    Mineral foundation is wonderful, and this is one of the originals/trend setters, but it is NOT the best. I used it off and on for 10 years because I could never find something that really fit me...

    I first tried bare minerals about five years ago and I love it. The only foundation that looks natural when having it on. I use it during the day when I don't want that caked on look. Pros: doesn't...

    This make up reminds me of movie reviewing on IMDB. If you don't like X,Y,Z movie you just "didn't get it". What I mean is that- often times whenever someone has a complaint about BE, people will...

    Doesn't give great coverage, doesn't have good lasting power, and doesn't look as airbrushed as you're led to believe. The mineral veil is basically cornstarch and doesn't help set my makeup. I'm...
