    I love BE! I will not part with it. There is no liquid foundation that can compete with the feeling of bare minerals, and I have tried even the lightest foundations and tinted moisturizers! I...

    I don't know why so many people are complaining about BE. I read a review about dirty brushes and breaking out. I totally agree. Clean brushes = clean face. BE doesn't cover EVERYTHING so thats...

    I used BE for about 2 years and I really thought it was great at the time. I loved the fact that it never felt like I was actually wearing makeup and I decided never to use liquid foundation...

    It's an ok product, but it's not great. I love how it looks when I first apply it. But it wears off like 3 hours later and my skin looks like crap. I probably won't use the foundation again, but I...

    I have found i have to use a lot of this product to cover my blemishes even though they are not that bad. When i use the amount of product my face needs its orange compared to my neck! hate it.
