    I've been using BareMinerals for about 3 years now, and I was completely in love with it. Unfortunately, this summer I started noticing that my face was burning and itching when I got sweaty. So...

    Edit: After trying Alima and Afterglow, I really don't like Bare minerals. Compared to the other two, Bare Minerals is more noticable on my skin and doesn't look as natural. And the color match...

    I really love BE and use it for every day. I first tried the trial kit from the infomercial about 5 years ago. The lighter medium was perfect in the summer, but the darker color was all wrong. I...

    I've been using BM for almost 3 years now and I love it. I do have reasonably good skin and don't need a lot of cover so I really appreciate the ease of application. BM just seems to make my skin...

    Be careful pink_rosies, your info is a bit misleading. Bismuth oxychloride is NOT the same as lead. It is a heavy metal mineral which promotes shine and buffing these large molecules into your...

    This is quite possibly the worst thing an acne prone person can do for their skin. Terrible! At first I enjoyed the coverage and the natural look, but after about 3weeks of use (at most 4 times per...

    I wanted to like this because it certainly is hyped, but meh. It did a little for me on first application, and an hour later there was nothing there. It's not irritating, but it is messy: my makeup...

    I have the starter kit and I wish I hadn't. What a useless product! It doesn't make me break out, or highlight the imperfections but it doesn't do anything good either! Mineral Veil gives a good...

    I finally decided to try out bare minerals after hearing about it nonstop everywhere, but was disappointed. The foundation does a really poor job of covering, and it is overall too shiny. Even...
