bareMinerals Get Started Kit Reviews
-
I was able to sample this at Ulta.
I bought it and I am very pleased with the coverage. It is light as a feather, but a real powerhouse. Highly recommend. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Bare Minerals Starter Kit
When I received this I was so excited to try it! Unfortunately, I found out that mineral makeup is not for me. My biggest issue with this was it wiped right off. I used a primer and that did not help. I will say the quality was definitely there and if you love mineral products then this is the kit to pick up! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A newly convert
After years having seen and heard about bareMinerals, one day I finally gave in. I was very skeptical. I tried a few drugstore brands mineral powder foundations, but none of them really convinced me. Until I met bareMinerals!! I purchased the 9-piece Get Started Kit because this kit was a much better deal than buying each of them separately. It included two different Original SPF 15 foundations (Medium, Medium Beige), Warmth, Mineral Veil, 3 brushes, Brush conditioning shampoo, and a DVD. Medium Beige fits to my skin tone. I wish it came with a primer, instead of a DVD or shampoo for brush. Without applying primer, foundation does not do well with my large pores, and it seems to wear off easily. While I became a big fan of Warmth, I did not see/feel much benefits from Mineral Veil. I already wear layers of stuff (a moisturizer, a primer, a base foundation, Warmth are enough for my routine), that's why I did not feel good adding another powder, especially when I did not see any difference before/after. The two main big brushes are a little bit scratchy, but I like the soft and dense concealer brush. Anyhow, I do like using bareMinerals foundation and Warmth particularly during the hot/humid months. Overall, I am satisfied with this starter kit. Having said that, I cannot completely give up on my liquid foundation yet. I switch back and forth between liquid foundation and mineral powder, depending on the weather and my skin condition. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Good if you fit into their color categories
I bought my kit at Sephora and was matched to the medium kit. I figured that this may be my answer since I have a very hard time finding a shade that really matches my skin. I was really disappointed when it did not match my skin like I had thought it would. No matter what I try even after watching the DVD, I never get a shade that is close to my color. Honestly save your money because even the mineral veil doesn't "seal" the minerals onto your skin. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

got me hooked
This kit is an excellent introduction to the Bare Minerals line for newbies. It contains everything you need to get a fantastic look, at a fraction of the price you would pay if you bought all of these products separately. The dvd is also a big help in giving tips for application and for creating new looks that are fun. I love Bare Minerals and it is the only foundation that I use, and this kit is a great way to get started. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Highly Disappointed
Despite the hype, this fell short of my expectations. The brush sheds A LOT and is not as high quality as they claim it to be. The foundation doesn't work well with my skin, I don't like the feel or the look of it. I really gave it a chance and applied it 20 different ways, but the bottom line is that it just didn't look good. A lot of people swear by it, but I don't get what the whole fuss was about. It's back to MAC powders for me. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Perfect!
Everything about this kit is perfect. I was worried about the warmth because I am so fair, but blended right, I kid you not, I got a candlelight glow!! The dvd makes everything so easy and between the cost of the brushes and makeup individually it's a great deal!! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Review subject
This is great if you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts; however, it wears off easily. I like a lot of coverage, so I tend to prefer liquid foundation, but this one is the best powder foundation I've ever tried! It didn't break me out once in the time I tried it, and my skin looked better when I stopped it than it did when I started it! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love it
This is amazing! I have extremely pale skin and can never find a shade to match. I was 20 when I bought it, had been wearing make up since I was in the 7th grade and had never used foundation because I couldn't find a match. I love everything about this. Even if I'm a rush and just have time to cover a break out(when I break out they're bright red). This covers them so well I can't see the redness. I can't stop raving about their product. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not a fan
I used bare minerals when it first came out and recently. The Matt and original both are good powders but clog pores. I am lucky to have ideal skin (I'm not break out prone, no redness, etc.) and after using it for a year I noticed some black heads on my nose. Between peels, facials, and dermatologist visits the product is not very essential to the skin. It might seem so for several months, but remember about the environmental effects on aging that this product doesn't provide a base for. Long term usage doesn't provide any advantages. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
