    Another BISMUTH victim here! At first I loved BM! I even gave up my HG foundation for it! (diorskin forever foundation) I admit, it took me a few days to get the hang of applying it, but I...

    I just want to rave really quickly about the Bare Escentuals customer service. I took my mom to the store in her local mall to get a "makeunder" as they call it, for her birthday. She never wears...

    This is either a hit or miss product...I missed. The MUA matched me with the Tan starter kit. I was too light for the kit that was just a shade darker...However, the two foundations that came in my...

    I think this product can work looks-wise for some skin tones, as long as they are warmer, but I have very fair, cool-toned skin and the Light products made me look like I had dirt smeared all over...

    Tried it more than once and am convinced this product breaks me out. It also made my face itch (bismut?) and I usually don't react to products. Has a pretty nice finish though I think some ppl...

    I generally like this product line. Sometimes I don't like it, though. I don't know if it's possible, but I get "bad skin days," where sometimes my makeup looks flaky and caked on and other days it...
