    I find that this is the best foundation that I've ever used. The first time I used it I got so many compliments about how good my skin looked. My skin gets a little itchy when I first put it on...

    It is a great product. The problem that people are having with the burning, itching skin is from the loition that you apply first. I gurantee that if you just use your regular moisturizer instead...

    i love and hate this product. the colors come out very similar to my own skin tone (very light) and don't accentuate the dryness of my skin; the MA at Sephora even said it was good for people with...

    I'm really on the fence about this product. I usually like the look it gives me, but if my face is even the tiniest bit dry, it looks terrible. Absolutely awful. I always wear my sunscreen under...

    Overall, I don't much care for Bare Escentuals, despite it's somewhat cult-like following. Coverage isn't great, the powders are extremely messy and end up all over my sink and clothes, and the...

    While at Sephora I tried the light mineral foundation with help from a sales assistant. And it seemed to be what I was looking for sheer and light coverage. Currently all I wear is pressed powder....
