Love it!
Everyonoe should try this product. I know so many people that say "I have been thinking about trying it but its so expensive" well when you think about how much longer it lasts then it's really not expensive at all. I tend to go heavy on make-up so I use a lot and it still lasts. If you dont like to look un natural then this is the product for you. Check out their bronzer, it called...read more faux tan. I love it because it looks like I am tan when I am not and is not sparkly so it looks like makeup. The well rested is the best of the best when it comes to covering circles. I am out now and decided to try lancome's because they had a free gift deal. It is a great product, but ny the end of the day it creases and looks like I have wrinkles when I do not. the "well rested" of this brand stays all day and does not crease. I do think their eyeshadow is not that great though. I would say all the face products are great but as far as eyeshadow and mascara you are better off with lancome.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

UGH!
This was not for me. The "glow" that is left on my face accentuated the flaws. Messy to apply and within a couple of hours it looks horrible! It settles into my pores and lines and looks so unnatural. Would not spend the money for this foundation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I Wish I Could Say This Worked For Me
I really fell for the info-mercial and loved all the eye-shadow colors. The problem was that after about 2 weeks I developed severe allergy symptoms in my eyes. I finally had to go to my doctor and get prescription allergy drops to get it to go away. After my eyes cleared up I tried it again to see if it had been the cause for sure. It didn't matter how hard I tried to keep my eyes closed, put les...read mores powder on, whatever--nothing helped but not using it. I was finally able to use up the rest of the foundation by mixing it with a moisturizer and applying with a sponge. Even then after 2 or 3 hours my eyes start to itch. I haven't even tried the eye shadow with moisturizer to see if it would work, I'll probably just have to throw it away.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

This product made me breakout!!!
I followed the hype and bought the BE kit. I didn't like after a few hours my makeup would come off, I would be shiny and bumpy. I developed huge pimples with this product. It took two months for my face to completely heel. This product has me think twice about purchasing another Mineral product again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Best Foundation
It's not thick, you can use as much or as little as you want, combined with a proper moisturizer as a base, it can really create a flawless illusion. Also, I love it because it can be used as a cover-up for small blemishes with a small brush!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Wonderful, except for the shimmer.
This maven of mineral makeup is one of the best mineral foundations out there. My only gripe, and it was enough to send me to other brands, is that it leaves too much of a "sheen", making my skin look shiny while highlighting my pores. I am hoping they will rework their formula. In the meantime I am enjoying Everyday Minerals (cheap!) and Aromaleigh. :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love It!
I absolutely love this product. I'm a 19 year old girl who have suffered from severe acne and is now left with acne scars. Well, over the past few years, I've tried many many make up lines just to cover up and STAY covered! Well, all I can say is, this product had give me life. Even though it doesn't cover everything, but I am sure happy that it covers what it can. Because compare this line to any other, it gives the best result!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

In contrast to many of the other reviews...
I've been wearing this foundation for about 5 years now and I have never had a problem with it. I am EXTREMELY oily, large pores, uneven skin tone--this is the only make-up that has ever worked for me. I have worked at Ulta for close to 2 years now and have seen this make-up side by side with every liquid, powder, mineral, cream, etc. and it does a phenomenol job. Let me address certain concern...read mores specifically: Oily skin: This foundation is ideal for oily skin. Just like with nearly every other foundation on the market, a primer is always a good idea to extend the length of your make-up. Why else would almost every single make-up line carry a primer if it didn't make a difference? Trust me, it does. Pores: Primer. Even Smashbox falls into pores without primer. Dry skin: Contrary to popular belief, this foundation does work extremely well on dry skin. The key is having the right moisturizer to properly hydrate the skin. Using a primer also helps dramatically, and they have a new Hydrating Mineral Veil which makes a huge difference. Moisturizer: Please, please, PLEASE allow your moisturizer to absorb into your skin before applying this--or any--make-up. Especially with powders and mineral make-up, if you apply right after moisturizer it will not smooth onto the skin as flawlessly. Allow 3-5 minutes for your moisturizer to absorb, or invest in a primer which is applied directly after moisturizer. Primers require no absorption time before make-up application, and I can guarantee you that primers will solve every single one of your pores, fine lines, wrinkles, make-up won't last, shine, texture, etc. problems. Colors: Each color is classified as cool, neutral or golden. For most of the population, I have been able to successfully color match almost everyone I see. I will say that the darker skin tones are still lacking and may end up red or just too dark, which is my biggest complaint. I wear the exact same shade year round, and I am an Italian/American Indian/Euro mix, so I get very light in the winter and very, very dark in the summer. Time and time again I see clients come in trying to get a darker shade for their foundation--first things first, ladies: YOUR SKIN TONE DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN YOU TAN. You make get darker, but you will not go from a neutral to a cool or a cool to a warm. It just doesn't happen. That being said, if your shade is medium beige, you should NOT use medium tan in the summer because you will look ashy because it is a cool undertone while medium beige is a neutral. Invest in a good bronzer and that will take care of all of your problems. I personally use their powder called Faux Tan and it passes the picture test every time. In the sun I generally wear a hat or very high SPF on my face, so it always stays much lighter than my body. I always try to best match both the face and the neck for this reason exactly, and sometimes this may require use of Warmth or Faux Tan or another great bronzer to get the perfect look for your skin while your make-up still looks natural and blends at the jawline, rather than creating a line. Hyperpigmentation: I will say that this foundation doesn't cover as nicely as some of the heavier liquids and creams, but that is sort of across the board. For severe hyperpigmentation, a pretty heavy concealer or foundation is required. Coverage: If you find this make-up is settling into your pores or fine lines, hate to break it to you but you're not applying it correctly. I always have my clients show me how they apply their make-up when they have said complaints, and every single time I am able to alter their technique to give them the airbrushed finish they desire. If you are having these difficulties, please go to your nearest Ulta, Sephora or Bare Minerals store and speak with a professional who is very knowledgeable about Bare Minerals so they can show you a trick or two. Also, you can truly get the lightest to the heaviest coverage with this make-up depending on the brushes you use and the amount you apply. I have successfully covered many a client with severe, severe acne breakouts and made their skin look smoother, even-toned, and fully covered while still maintaining a very natural finish. That being said, I am not saying this is the perfect foundation for every single person out there but I do find that it performs above and beyond many of the other often much higher priced foundations on the market. Please have a professional really show you how to apply it best for your face--trust me, not everyone should apply this make-up in the same way which I have learned after applying it to thousands of women.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I have been using BE for over 2 yrs now and I have to say it is the best foundation I have used yet. I have had fewer breakouts and my face glows after putting it on even after all day wear in 90+ degree weather. I absolutely love it and have recommended it to many friends.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
