    My favorite things about Bare Minerals: *very natural looking on my skin (the lightest color, "Fair") -- so hard for me to find a foundation that actually looks natural on my very fair skin...

    I'm glad I got a sample size of this. The coverage is good but I did get a breakout after using this regularly. Also, as some others have said it does accentuate bad features of the skin such as...

    I tried this once about 2 years ago and I'm just grateful I got the little trial sizes instead of wasting my money on the bigger jars. It is hands down the WORST makeup I've ever tried and I've...

    I bought the kit with the medium tan and tan. I don't like the packaging at all because the white cardboard came out of the lid so its hard to do that whole swirl and tap thing. I need to mix the...

    the reason why this product looks great is because it fills up your pores and gives you that smooth, flawless look. i have used this twice, for a couple of weeks at a time, since i really like the...

    The product made my skin itchy and break out. Would not recommend to anyone with acne-prone skin.

    ADVICE TO READERS*** make sure you are wearing a good moisturizer or primer under this makeup. If you don't, you run the risk of having a face that looks like it just had shiny spackle slathered...

    I hate bare minerals foundations. They contain bismuth oxychloride, which clogs your pores; it is basically just cheap filler. The foundation made my skin look absolutely horrible. I have used way...

    Too many problems to list with this product. It sucks any and all moisture from my skin, but at the same time, ends up looking shiny after just an hour or so. Any lines or pores are magnified...

    I got this to work for me for a while, but I could never get over the shiny finish. I also itched and broke out from it. Never again!
