    I like how it looks on me but the packaging is terrible. It is too messy. Everytime I put it on a good amount of product is wasted! I won't be buying this again. I am sure I can find something...

    For the most part, I enjoy bare minerals products. I use the rever upper the foundations, and the blushes. After a long night out i usually get very careless and fall asleep with it on and never...

    In general, I loathe loose products and with this and MAC pigments are not exceptions but only reaffirmations of my loathing. I do not like the colors of the foundations or many of the blushes,...

    Bare minerals is the best makeup, my skin always looks flawless when I wear it. It also protects my skin from the sun as it has sunscreen in it. Gives me the glow I want and looks very natural,...

    I have a love/hate relationship with Bare Minerals powder foundation. On the plus side, it really does cover up redness and it keeps my oil-prone T-zone looking matte for longer (why is why I...

    I am truly shocked that Bare Minerals can advertise itself as "makeup so pure you can sleep in it," because this is far from the truth. Bare Minerals uses Bismuth Oxycloride, a dirt cheap filler,...
