Bare Escentuals : Bare Minerals

It decreased my acne, it conceals pimples, and the oil-free primer (or any good mineral makeup primer) is a must for all-day wear. It can take a little bit longer to apply until you get use to it.

a lot of people dont know how to use it correctly and then complain that it doesnt cover well...if you follow the directions precisely and use a concealer brush to even cover the largest of areas, the scars are a lot less noticeable. also, what made a lot of people break out from it (myself included) is the bismuth in the original formula. this was the ingredient that made it shine and shimmer. the new matte formula does not have this ingredient and therefore eliminates the breakouts. with the originial, i didnt have big breakouts but more like tiny bumps that i felt alofn my forehead and cheek bone. these bumps could mainly be visible when i tilted my head in the light, and could be felt when i washed my face. however, since i started using the matte, they have been going away and now new breakouts as of yet. the brushes that come with it are also great. i have reallyy sensitive dry skin when i first applied it, it did feel dry. but as the day progresses, it kind of matches with ur skin type and now my face doesnt feel dry at all and i havent applied any extra moisturizer on top. basically, give it a try before you totally give up on it!

I love this product and it gives me the most natural finish of any foundations and powders that I have ever come across. I even use the concealer to treat spots at night. It is probably better to get the starter pack though as it's the best value for money. Remember that you only need a tiny bit of this to avoid looking like someone dropped a bag of flour on your head! :-)

In the beginning it was really good. After some years using this product my skin breaks out a lot. I used to like it since it covered enough, who it matches my skin and how easy it is put on.

I was excited to try this product, since I heard it was great for acne. I didn't notice any difference, but I kept using it for a year. I finally found out it has oil in the product and has promoted break outs for me. So, I have since switched. Plus, I feel the brushes are just spreading the acne on my face. I washed my brushes 1x/wk and it just wasn't working for me.

Ok ive been on the regimen for 3 weeks now and my skin can not handle liquid foundation. Ive tried dans advice and purchase almay foundation like clear complexion. It made my skin so DRY. I heard bad things about bare minerals but I was desperate for a foundation that would not break me out. This foundation is AMAZING.

This is probably the best makeup for acne-prone skin. It is completely non-comedogenic, and I feel like it actually improved my skin condition and dried up some pimples. Also, I noticed that sometimes I come back really drunk and don't feel like washing my face and i go to bed, it doesn't mess up my skin like other makeups did by leaving it on over night.

I do recommend this product to whomever is considering it. I found it to be light enough to mask the sheen that appears mid-day yet non acne aggravating, which I appreciate and need in any makeup. That said, I do try and wear minimal minimal makeup so while I may like it, people who like a heavier coating might not find it as appealing.

I love this product! I have lots of acne and i want to cover it up with makeup that does not clog my pores. This is that product! I recommend every girl that has acne to get this brand of makeup and also its purifying facial cleanser to gently clean your face.

I've used this for a few years and it's one of the only makeups I've found that doesn't make me breakout (the only other one is Garnier BB Cream). I wish they had a few more shade options. I'm always between the fairly light and light so that's kind of annoying and it is a little drying, but like I said, I haven't found very many options that my skin likes so I always come back to this.
