Customer Reviews

Feels AND works good!
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.

Bare Minerals is a great product
Bare Minerals is the only makeup my daughter, who is a model, and I can use. Just a little bit covers well and doesn't feel like I am wearing anything on my skin. The order arrived in just 3 days and was less expensive than I could buy it for on the Bare Minerals website, so I'm real happy with my purchase.

I love this makeup!
My skin has never been so clear! This makeup stays on all day, even through my work outs. It does not make my face look greasy, it doesnt even feel like im wearing any makeup. I get compliments all of the time about how great my skin looks.
