Bare Escentuals : Bare Minerals

bare minerals has a lot of bad reviews from multiple sources because of how it aggravates acne despite being "natural" and minerals. the concept is great, but overall, i wouldn't get it. my face itched too much and the break outs were not fun.

This is a great foundation for people suffering fro acne. I have sensitive skin and Im telling you foundation has never been my friend...it wasnt till i picked up bare minerals and since then my skin has really improved. Im telling you ladies that if your breaking out opt for a mineral make up ( and not a cheap drugstore one) bec theres no gross crap that will irratate your skin. This also covers while it lets your skin breathe. I love this makeup!

I love it sooo much, I don't want any one else to use it soo I have nicer looking skin! ;)

Im starting to think that its causing some of my break outs. So Im currently looking for another foundation.

its a great foundation without all the added parabens and waxes like other powders have and doesnt have all the gunk and liquid junk from liquid makeup. i would recommend this product tremendously :)

I for one have never tried the original Bare Minerals formula. Look for Bare Minerals Matte. I Have been using this product, accompanied by The Regimen, and my skin has never looked better! This makeup covers any left over scars I may have. I highly recommend using the Matte version of this product.

Wonderful product that I have been using on top of light liquid foundations for the past five years. Unfortunately the lightest shade is still slightly too dark for my skin, but it's the closest I have found to my natural hue and provides the best redness coverage with none of the mask-like qualities of heavy liquid concealers. The matte version is my favorite!

Dan's AHA+ leaves my skin a little pink, and in addition to the acne scars/some acne that I currently have, Bare Escentuals just doesn't cut it. I took before and after pictures, and to be honest I could barely tell the difference! I've decided to use it along with liquid foundation to cover up the spots. Do not buy this unless you have very light acne or don't mind having your acne spots show. PS. I bought the starter kit and the matte foundation in "Fairly Light"

Since I began using bare minerals I literally have had strangers complimenting my skin almost every day. My acne and pimples have decreased because of how light this makeup is. The first time I applied the foundation on a giant red zit on my forehead and when I stepped back from the mirror and I couldn't even see it...I nearly cried. I also sleep (yes, sleep!) in this makeup pretty frequently and in the morning it still looks good! I've heard people complain that it's expensive but the makeup does last a long time and it's fantastic, so it's really more like an investment than a purchase. If you follow the video tutorial that comes with the foundation starter kit exactly you can't mess up. Tip: take a "before" and "after" pic of yourself to really see what this does to your skin.

Pretty expensive, I liked the product and I use it pretty much everyday. I have a combination of dry and oily skin, the product stuck to my skin and made it look dry. I tried moisturizer and it helped a little. Over time this product can look cakey if not applied right.
