Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All-Over Face Color by Bare Escentuals, Highlighter Review

7.5

Don't be fooled by the company's flowery language that these little powders add "luminosity" to the skin. They're basically bronzers. They get high marks for giving a nice, natural-looking glow (especially the Warmth shade). And it's true that they're made of natural ingredients and don't contain preservatives, so they're gentle. But since the shaker lets waaaaaay too much powder out at once, it's easy to end up looking like Pig Pen. So make sure to use a huge fluffy brush and only dip it into the lid, rather than the container itself.

I can't stand the mess. It gets all over my dressing table and me, no matter how much I tap back into the container. It is just not worth it, and the product gives very little coverage. — 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Natural Color

I really love the look Bare Escentuals gives your face, because the shades are subtle to fit with your skin tone and they look great. The powder is sheer and shimmery for easy application and serves as a great foundation for your makeup. — 3 years, 3 months ago
