    I have a full jar of this upstairs that I can't use. I just wanted to review to say that please go into Sephora or Ulta and try this before you purchase if you have "mature skin". With mature skin...

    I've been using Bare Escentuals since I was in 10th grade. That's...7 years! It worked great for the longest time, but it always makes me break out in the summer time -- or anytime that I sweat. It...

    The Bare Minerals MATTE is a really great everyday product, but I have had to work my way up to a 4-star rating. I was a MAC believer until I turned 30 and my skin became super oily with frequent...

    Bare minerals was a light and effective full coverage makeup. I have oily and sensitive skin and it didn't cause me to break out which was great. As if you have oily skin pressed powder and...

    I was given Bare Escentuals as a birthday present and I adore them! I wear almost everyday as it's great to cover my face. When I first broke out, I blamed the makeup until I realized that it...

    Perfect foundation. It's hard to make a mistake because there's no line between your skin and the end of the foundation. It's relatively easy to find a complexion match, and it works as a moderate...

    I've been using bare minerals for years and I've always loved the feeling of it. It doesn't feel heavy or caked on (doesn't look like it either!). It blends very well too. The coverage is also...
