    I have been using this for the last few years. I hate wearing liquid foundation because it feels like I have a mask on. This feels nice and lightweight on my face. It covers decently. Evens out my...

    I wanted to give "0" lippie, but it wouldnt let me, so i might as well give it a 1 since thats the least i can do. I've used bare minerals for 4 years, and i thought this would be "the one"...

    This is an EVIL, NASTY product. It took me one year to realize that this mineral foundation was the main cause to my sudden cystic acne breakout. I truly believed in their infomercials about how it...

    I have acne, and very oily skin; I thought this makeup would be great. It is....for about half an hour. Then my skin starts to get oily, and I feel so embarrassed. I'm a teenager, and I'd love to...

    I had a makeover with the company's reps. They used the Bare Minerals mosturizer, primer, the Fairly Light foundation, the warming (bronzing) powder and the mineral veil. (And then all the eye,...

    In my opinion, this is the best powder/mineral foundation. It's light and it gives you that gorgeous glow without making it look cake-y, even under bright fluorescent lights. My only problem is...

    I used BE for a year and a half. I can say that I liked it. I don't like wearing heavy makeup so this was perfect for me. But After that year and a half I started noticing that my skin was becoming...

    I really don't like this product. It gets really messy and gets all over the sink when I open it up. It provided decent coverage, but I couldn't get a good match for my skin tone. It wasn't bad,...

    I've been using BE for years, it's actually really helped my skin a lot. I am aware of the 'bismuth epidemic' so just to see if I could find something better I tried a few other brands and either...

    I don't understand the hype about this product. It is no better than any other mineral foundation I have tried. If you are thinking of trying this than just try the Ulta mineral foundation. It's...

    I hated this stuff! It really accentuates any texture issues -- pores, lines, flakes. If you're dry it looks cakey/chalky/flaky, but it doesn't control oil, either. You can get good coverage with...
