    I found this foundation to be so-so for me. The color matched well with my skintone, but the makeup could sometime look metallic on me, especially in photos. Plus, after a few months the makeup...

    I wanted to mix around foundation routine and so naturally I had to give different brands a try. Mineral MU just isn't for me. Along with other brands, bare escentual really was just utter hell for...

    I really love bare minerals. I was a skeptic, but kept seeing the infomercials a few years ago so I decided to try it. This is the first skin makeup I've been able to wear without breaking out, it...

    I have a love/hate relationship with this stuff. Some days it looks great. Others, it looks like poop. It all depends on the application, which is slightly tricky. Whether or not I get the...

    This stuff makes me look like I'm wearing foundation, and that's not a good thing. It doesn't blend. It cakes. It makes me oily. I don't understand the hype. I wanted to love it so bad, but it was...

    I have never been a foundation user, ever.. But as with age, my skin has changed and become slightly uneven. I tried a liquid, but it was to much. It felt heavy. I was introduced to BE and fell in...

    After using many liquid foundations, I decided to give BE a try. I had heard from many people that it worked wonders for them, so I figured all the ravings on their commercials must be true. I...

    Both my mom and my best friend use the BE products. I tried them too. However, I found that I was getting acne. "No, I thought to myself, this is surely not because of BE. After all, shouldn't...

    Bare Minerals foundation is the only one I use for my face. The coverage is good with the handy buki or the kabuki brush - less is more! Also, the maximum coverage concealer brush worked well with...
