color
I have used this line for 4 years now. I go in phases I really like it then i don't. It can get very messy and if the powder gets on your clothes it's hard to get off. I also, have to keep ordering brushes and bristles fall out very easily. I think they could somehow use a different container for foundation maybe something less messy. Also, please improve brushes.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not all its vracked up to be
I have pores and it doesn't offer the coverage it promises with that flawless look. I look like a powder puff with it on. It didn't cover well. It doesn't stay like they say and with pores... ya right you look like you have even worse porse with it on. Sorry ID but no thanks.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

So-So
I like the foundation okay, but not as much as I thought I would. It definitely does not last the day without touch-ups. I am a teacher and don't have time during the day to touch up make-up. I like it when I'm going out for a few hours at night. It will stay on for that length of time. I bought several of the BareMinerals products and only loved the eye shadow.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Good
Wish it was more portable. Can't carry around with veil and bronzer and blush and concealer. Make for a working woman and it would get 20 stars.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

The best foundation I've used
I've tried alot of foundations, MAC studio FIX, Stilla Illuminating Powder foundation, Clinque, and was never fully satisfied. When Sephora opened up where I live I was so excited to try this product and it's been 1 month and I LOVE IT. I have combination skin prone to breakouts and wear medicated creams from the dermotologist which often dries out my skin yet it gets oily. This makeup gave me goo...read mored coverage, and I can vary the coverage which I love. At first I was very skeptical because with just the foundation I thought it was ok but after buffing on the bronzer and sweeping on some blush I couldn't believe how great yet natural it looked. I tried other mineral foundations and they ALL make me breakout with little bumps but this one passed the test and in fact my skin looks better and I haven't had any pimples in a month, which is rare for me!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Worlds Best Mineral Foundation
I love, love, love the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Foundation SPF 15. It gives me full coverage with a natural look. Most important my skin is protected from the sun when I wear this foundation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Don't Like it!
The BE line I do like, however, the foundation, I do not! It stings my face and does not give a great coverage. I found a wonderful much less expensive mineral line and LOOOOVEEEE IT!!! Everyday minerals ROCKS!! And the foundation does not sting my face and it covers GREAT!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it, but know how to use it!
I love this product now, but when I first got it I made the mistake of layering it for extra coverage, and when you over-apply it it becomes shiny and looks very unnatural. It also settles in the lines of your face if you don't buff it properly. I also didn't know that you could take your finger, slightly wet it and make an on-spot instant concealor from it. I have used other mineral makeups th...read moreat don't contain bismuth, which is what makes the shiny finish, and also makes people sensitive to the product, like Lumiere, and they are great as well, but smell strange, because they use emu oil, which is great for the skin but has a goat-like smell to it. Emu oil is good for night-time moisturizing, but you can't wear a product that smells like goat in public! All-in-all, you have to practice with this makeup to get the best results, and don't ever just buy the "light medium or dark" kits - they won't fit your skin color unless you blend them with a light or dark color, actually go to a distributor and match up your best color, and the blush they give with the kit is horrid, I don't know how anyone could perceive that as natural, but thier all-over color choices are wonderful - I love several of the shades and they realy look natural and compliment whatever look you are putting together. The welll-rested concealor that came with my kit is great also - really brightens your eyes! As far as just the foundation, make sure you get a color matchup, don't just order the kit without knowing what their version of a light medium or golden medium is - in fact, I ended up blending one of my lighter Lumiere foundations with the darker of my medium Bare Minerals one that was ay too dark for me together to make a perfect shade, and it had less Bismuth in it, so I can layer more coverage if I need too without so much of the shine. I do love the Sheer Veil as an all-over powder and it doesn sort of airbrush your look and make your coverage last, but it is a but messy, especially if you want to touchup during the day - I waste a whole lot just trying to apply a little. I say, for the money it's great, but so are others that on't have the Bismuth in it, which makes the shine and also causes breakouts and sensitivity in some people. I also tried Purity Mineral makeup, got a kit, and the shade was perfect and the blush was a perfectly natural color that really compliments my skin. There is very little of it, but it goes a long way! Try Bare Minerals, then mix and match with other products that do the same thing, and if you are sensitive to Bismuth, try a product like Lumiere (Bismuth-free)or Purity, which is right on with the shade descriptions and has some natural colors, I got a light golden that is great, a little light, but with the wonderful all-over blush that came with it, it is perfect! Keep selecting what you like from each line until you get the best of each product! Once you get what you like from each line, you will be very satisfied with what you look like! Sounds like lots of work, but worth it, and now I make mixed foundations from all the colors I have for my friends and have extra to continue to make my perfect shades for summer, winter and whenever my skin is changing color. Also, try the Bare Escentuals Big Tease Mascara - I bought it recently, am very picky about mascara, can't stand spider eyes or too wet, clumpy mascara, and this has two ends, and it combs and distrubutes the right amount of product to each lash while seperating and lenghtening, and the other side gets those hard-to-get lashes - I guess I will have to review all of the products I mentioned, but hope this helps.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
