    I've seen this work great on my peers but it really isn't the same for me for some reason. It bought this back when it was super expensive and, even though I used it for many years after that,...

    I have a long history with BE. I've tried to like it over the years and the various formulations, but ultimately they just don't work on me. I don't like the shiny reflective quality of the...

    For someone like myself who doesn't need to minimize pores, cover acne or rocesea, and doesn't have oily (or skin, the BE foundation (original formula) is perfect. It gives me good coverage, enough...

    Okay--This is my second go around with BE. I tried it several years ago and wound up giving it to my daughter. I'm 56, and I still have a pretty good complexion but a little too much rosiness...

    Lately, I have felt too made up using my Iman foundations; plus my living in the deep south makes wearing liquid or cream foundation almost impossible. I wanted a more nautural look so I tried BE...

    I've tried many products from BE. I gave BE in general a 2 because I love the eyeliner powders & lip glosses and everything from BE is cheap in my opinion. However, the main heavywieght from BE...

    aside from being over-hyped & over priced, i could not get past that "zombi sheen" it left on my face, even after using the mineral veil as my last step; both the regular AND the tinted MV. I...

    This foundation has sort of been in and out of my world since 1999 or so. I still remember when the distribution of Bare Escentuals was very limited, and you had to order these little samples from...

    I was recommended BM in Medium Beige. It was too dark for me. I definitely don't like the sparkle it has. The holes = way too much product. I find it dispenses better if you just poke 4 holes in...

    I've been using BM for six years now. I love the product. I rarely breakout like I was with liquid make up. You need to give it time to settle on your skin. I do not have oily skin so the...
