    After about 5 minutes of painstakingly buffing and applying this product on my face my skin turns oily and gross. It does nothing for oily combo skin in my humble opinion as far as lasting...

    I have tried this out twice. Once about 5 years ago and once a couple of months ago. The first time it was great for about 2 weeks. Even my husband said how nice my skin looked. Right after that I...

    I want to start with the good thing about this makeup- It does make your skin very nice, almost like a skin care treatment. It not only doesn't irritate my breakouts, but it clears it and makes my...

    Several months ago I finally caved in and bought this supposedly miraculous product. At first I was pleasantly surprised at how well a powder could cover the red around my nose, and the darkness...

    I LOVE this stuff! I have fairly clear skin already, but it covers up the facial redness I used to get and gives me a little bit of a "glow." The packaging is not the best; if you're not careful...

    I went to the Bare Escentuals store and their regional makeup artist from New York made me over. Unfortunately, I'd bought into the hype and didn't notice that the makeup made me look ten years...

    I have conflicting feelings over their foundation. I feel like this is good for a quick job--I can throw it on quick and walk out the door. I don't like the metallic look I see sometimes. It can be...

    Awful. Just awful. Doesn't make me look any better, just makes me look like I put flour on my face. I'm an NC25, but none of the shades match me. They all have this orangey tint. And the coverage...

    Ew. I finally succumbed to the endlessly fascinating infomercial and had my face done at the BE counter today. The closest match was Fairly Light, which was really close but not 100%. The SA...

    I've never been into wearing make-up, mostly because no matter what brand I tried my skin would always break out. But I've been using Bare Minerals for about a year now. It evens out my skin tone...
