    I got this starter kit in fairly light and light although I had to purchase medium tan separately in order to match my skin color. : / I was sold. This foundation was pretty good to me although I...

    I have been using this for over 5 years - since I was 19. I started wearing it when I was 19 and living in New Orleans so I was desperate for something that could handle the humidity, sweat, and...

    Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. I cant believe I feel for a "craze." I guess I watched that damn infomercial too many times. This stuff is cakey and disapears into fine lines and gives your skin a...

    The coverage is very sheer & way too drying for me. P.S. I stopped using it since my face got very irritated,switched to EM. *updated* I have been using MATTE version this summer (2010) & I love...

    I bought the starter kit a few months ago, because I wanted to have a light makeup to go to college with. I have sensitive skin, and makeup has a tendency to make my skin break out or make it...

    I've never tried any other mineral products, but I do like Bare Minerals. I am very fair skinned and the color Fair (the lightest they make) is the only color that works for me. Most of their...

    I did not like this product at all. It is literally just corn starch and talcum powder with some dirty pigment mixed in. If you have ANY dry patches AT ALL, it will accentuate them like hell and...

    Like others, I tried this based solely on the infomercial hype. Something that would cover my acne scars and redness completely, while still looking natural? That's amazing! And, sadly, too good to...

    Wanted to like this, but unless I moisturized like a maniac first, it just made my skin look ashy. Too bad. I'd love to just be able to brush on some makeup.

    I used BE faithfully for about a year. I became disappointed with their shades, which were all a bit too golden for me. I needed something more neutral. It's true that this will accent dry...

    I love Bare Minerals because I can't stand traditional make-up. However, I can't say that I love this product. Not sure I can tell it does much for my skin when it's on. It's hard to tell...but you...

    I purchased this product over a year ago and unfortunately it didn't work for me. My skin has some dry areas, which this product accentuated, and more importantly, it irritated my skin.

    Love the coverage but I don't like using loose powders. It leaves a mess and I tend to get too much on the brush (depite that tap, tap technique in the infomericals). It does make my skin look...
