    Tried this as a sample pack. I really can't work with this product at all. I can't get a good match to my fair skin, and it looks horrible applied. I'm sticking with Everyday Minerals mineral...

    I hate Bare Minerals. My mom made me get it because she wanted something natural looking on me. It was really red on my skin, didn't cover, didn't stay long at all, just looked really bad, if you...

    I had used BE for a while but the coverage was just not there for me. Also, the lids tend to leak powder no matter how well you screw on the lid. This was easy to apply but I would need to touch up...

    I had a hard time with this product at first. I was not familiar with mineral makeup or with any loose powder makeup at all, so it took me a while to learn how to apply it correctly. Also, I had a...

    Last year when I used to wear foundation ( I finally got my skin to look so good I only need a tad bit of TM ) I went to Sephora and bought the boxed set. At first it wasn't bad @ all, even though...

    BE foundations are ok, not the be all end all products that they tell you they are. I had this before in Fairly Light, I noticed if I put on a little too much it looked really cakey and shimmery. I...

    Despite all the bad reviews on BE, I absolutely love it. I've been using it for about 5 months and have never looked better. The only recommendations I have is that you need to use a primer before...
