    I really don't like any of their products. It is so messy to use. I don't get much for my money. Once I bought the products I have to buy other tools to use the products. There are much better...

    The first time I used bare minerals, I thought it was awesome. It looked great and felt great. My skin breaks out alot, and this was the first product that seemingly didn't encourage it. (I still...

    I hate the Bare Minerals foundations for many reasons. They are messy and get everywhere. For the ridiculous price you don't get much. It enlarges your pores tremendously. It not only makes...

    There's always so much hype surrounding BM that I felt that I had to try it. It turns out, it's SOOOO shimmery. Why would a foundation ever need to be shimmery?? The coverage is nice for a powder,...

    I guess I'm in the MUA minority, but BE is a holy grail for me. However, the FIRST time I tried it a few years back, it was bad. I broke out, skin was flaky, etc. Tried it again last November,...

    I foolishly bought this stuff after being swayed by infomercial after infomercial. I admit: the claims of "Pure, bare, smooth skin" got me. Actually, the infomercial is on TV as I type this and I...

    Anyone who repurchases this is a fool. You're basically paying lots of money for pressed/loose powder you can get at the drugstore for around $5 and that's the truth! Don't believe me? apply BE on...

    I feel like an outcast for not loving this. I tried the 2 colors that came in a starter kit (with the assistance of a SR to pick the color) neither of them match my skin. One is too yellow, the...

    This makeup goes on very smooth, and it feels so sheer! Because it is. I cannot see how it can provide "full coverage" at all. It just doesn't give enough concealing power for me to like it....
