I'm finally willing to wear foundation! March 16, 2006

I have never worn foundation in my life. I hated being able to feel it on there, & I hated the effort of washing it off every night & how long it took to put on. This has solved all those problems. Applying the foundation takes maybe 30 seconds. I don't feel like I have anything on my face at all. Family was telling me how nice I looked, but when I told them I was wearing foundation they were surpised. It looked so natural. And this stuff won't hurt your skin if you leave in on at night. So no big hassle when you're tired & want to go to bed. The starter kit is the way to go; I was going to try just the foundation & was glad I got the starter kit. It's a really good deal over buying the things seperately as well.
Second times'a charm!!!! March 22, 2006

I can certainly related to all the 20 plus posted comments about this product both good and bad . I too suffer from post acne, large pores, and oily skin. The first time I tried BareMinerals I was like a few of you, couldnt see a difference, didnt know if I was putting it on right, didnt have the right color (being that I am a woman of color) thought it was a was of money. And you know what I threw away the first foundation jar never to buy it again, until I saw the infomerical about the product and of course, a shopping channel that will remain nameless that sells this particular product. So I decided to try one more time. What made me a believer the second time around was that I made sure of a few things:
Always use "Mineral Veil" first as a primer.
Then use "Warmth" as a concealer, highlighter and any other imperfections.
Make sure you always "Buff, Tap, Swirl" everything time. It is a certain way you have to work into the skin.
And lastly to use "Mineral Veil" as a finishing powder.
I will say this, I do disagree with Leslie saying all you need is a little of the powder and that's that. No makeup artist worth their grain can ever create such a perfect canvas for the skin just by using one product and very little of the product. Not going to happen. You may need a several "swirls, taps, buffs" to get the look, you may need to use moisturizer in the powder so your face won't dry out. You might need to custom blend several shades to get that color you always wanted. It happens.
All I am saying is that the product does work, if you are willing to work with it, unless you have a severe reaction to it by all means get your money back. I gave this product a second chance and now that Leslie has added three new shades for women of color I am glad I did!!!!
A must buy! July 27, 2006

This is the best thing I have ever bought. I can look good and natural at the same time, it is amazing.
Now, I have to be honest. When I saw this product on tv on commercials and the advertisement on the channel QVC, I didn't really all the way believe it. But at one point I got so frustrated about my makeup (I have tried almost everything that's possible for foundation), I went right online one night and order it. It has a return guarantee, so what did I have to lose? And everyone has said such great things about it, I just had to try it. If I didn't like it, I'd just take it back....
When I first received it in the mail my first reaction was--"it is this small?" Really, it's smaller than I thought, but I figured out why after I used it. I think this stuff will last me for years! I only have to use just a tiny bit to cover my whole entire face--it is sooo amazing.
My old makeup was awful! Let me explain. I have very oily skin and acne scars, so finding the right makeup is difficult. I have worn liquid makeup for quite some time now, and let me tell you it was not my solution. I put it on and two hours later it has already melted off my face. To cover my acne scars, I first have apply concealer, but that only made my face look the more "unnatural." And since my face is oily, liquid only makes my face look shiny and greasy, plus unnatural.
When I put Bare Minerals on my face, I was so shocked.
(1) It took such a tiny amount to cover my entire face
(2) It looks so natural, I don't even look like I'm wearing any makeup, yet my face looks flawless
(3) It gave me a little glow
(4) It actually covered my acne scars!!! (not the pimples though)
I love it!! The price was so worth it and I will never, ever wear liquid again!
This stuff is a dream. I love that it also has sunscreen. And just the fact that I'm not putting harmful ingredients on my face makes it all so wonderful. I don't have to worry about the effects of liquid makeup--blemish causing and early wrinkles. It's safe to actually sleep in this stuff!!! Wow. How natural can you get?
Bare Minerals is so wonderful. It makes your skin flawless but natural. If you were like me and don't have a makeup solution, what do you have to lose to try this great stuff? It's money back guarantee, and I'm sure you'll love it. Every female should try it!
Truly AMAZING product! September 15, 2006

After hearing good reviews from my sister, I recently purchase a Bare Escentuals (BE) starter kit. I was excited about the possibility of such easy makeup application; however, I was VERY skeptical that I would be able to conceal eye circles, scarring, and blemishes with foundation powder and a special concealer brush. Yeah Right! I was fully convinced that if I liked the mineral makeup, I would use the foundation powder but still have to carry my trusty liquid concealer.
Imagine my surprise after the first application to find that not only was the foundation light and comfortable, but the "special" concealer brush ACTUALLY WORKED! I didn't even have to use a separate concealer color (I am very pale, so most concealers are darker than my skin tone rather than the recommended lighter concealer color), I just used the same foundation powder color, and my face looked truly FLAWLESS!
All I had to do was apply all my face makeup (foundation, bronzer, blush, finishing powder "Mineral Veil") and use the concealer brush to dot and blend foundation powder on blemishes/circles/etc as the last step. (Some people apply concealer prior to other face makeup, but that didn't work great for me. Also, I know they tell you to apply light layers and buff completely, but this is TRULY the trick to mineral makeup application. Plus, using just a tiny bit makes the product last a LONG time, which allows me to feel a little better about spending so much money on makeup.)
I was AMAZED at how much coverage the "powder" provided (the mineral makeup foundation is a very creamy powder, but that was a pleasant surprise as well, as it provides much more coverage than a standard loose powder) while still feeling light, comfortable, and natural. I am finding that the application of mineral products is just getting easier and easier, and my skin tone has improved dramatically over the last couple weeks of using such a natural product.
The coverage is truly amazing, and at least for me, it stays put pretty much all day. I also doubted that the SPF 15 could really protect my face, especially since my pale skin burns REALLY easily. But after a day in the sun having forgotten sunscreen, my shoulders were burned, but my face was burn-free. INCREDIBLE!
I realize that mineral products do not work as well for every person/skin-type, but I highly recommend trying mineral makeup (either BE, very well known, or Everyday Minerals, who offer a free sample kit) as a more natural makeup choice with surprisingly full coverage. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Feels AND works good! July 7, 2009

I am in love with this product! I have always hated using foundation, but powders never had the coverage I needed. The first time I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals, it looked terrible. But after a little practice, it is by far, the best foundation I have ever used. I have very blotchy skin, with dark red patches and acne scars. This product gives me the flawless skin nature didn't!
I have tried several of the competitor's products that claim to be mineral foundation, but none of them worked as well as the Bare Escentuals. In fact, none of them worked at all for me!
Be sure to follow the Swirl, Tap, Buff instructions, or it will not work right! I have also learned that using lotions of any kind before this product, will cause clumping in that area. I use Mineral Veil before the foundation when I have recently used lotion, or need extra coverage.
EDITED 6 months later - December 30, 2009
I have since stopped using this product, but still stand behind this review. I have battled cystic acne and acne vulgaris for 20 years or more (NOT caused, or even aggravated by this product). I have some signifigant scarring as a result of this. As my skin has aged, the scarring has become more noticeable. The Bare Minerals powder worked great to cover the redness of these scars. But since the surface of my face is no longer perfectly smooth due to these scars, the powder actually makes them MORE noticeable. I was very sad to give this product up, and I still think longingly of it while slathering on my goopy foundation.
So basically, Bare Minerals is wonderful, and I still highly recommend it. But if you have pits from severe acne scarring, it may not be the product for you.
