A bit drying
I have to say I love the coverage of the Bare Escentuals foundation but find it to be a bit drying and wish there were some way to make it less so.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

LIGHT COVERAGE FOR ANY SKIN TYPES
This is one of the best products out there. I've always had much difficulty finding the right foundation and/ or powder for my face. Although there are many brands and different levels/ shades available to try out, I always end up with powder that's slightly too dark or too light. However, with BM (bare minerals) it's an instant match. It really does go on any skin type and color. It's translucent...read more and provides coverage throughout the day. Most pressed powders tend to give you that thick, caked on feeling by the end of the day. With BM, you don't feel that. It's loose and takes the shine away (for oily skin types) with few brush strokes on your face. I use BM with light tinted moisturizer rather than w/ foundation powder only b/c I feel as though I get a little bit more coverage. And when I go out at night, I put on liquid foundation underneath the BM for more coverage. The fact that you are not using a sponge like pressed powder, I feel it's more sanitary. But that's just me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

My favorite foundation!
I have classically combination skin and my forehead gets really oily about an hour after I wash my face. This product has definitely minimized the shiny look and it stays on for a couple of hours at least. It does absorb in after 3 hours or so though.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

LOVE IT LOOVEE IT
After spending hundreds of $$$$ I FINALLY decided to give this one a go. I have problem skin, with constant breakouts but flaky patches too. I was worried this would only aggravate things, but it really didn't! The minerals don't 'heal' or anything like that, but at least they don't make the problems worse!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

II'm a convert
I love the BareMinerals line, my skin has actually improved since I started using it. I recommend moisturizing before application, the powder will stick better to moisturized skin. I do recommend using a separate concealer for undereye circles.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

On the fence...
I do like this foundation really well. However sometimes my skin seemed dull with it on. I do love the coverage it gives and that it doesn't feel heavy. One other thing I don't like is that I love cream blush and you really can't use it with the mineral powder foundation. I'm trying a new liquid foundation again to really see if I like the mineral powder better or not. So far I am really on the fe...read morence! I think for summer though I will stick to liquid or tinted moisterizer and use the mineral powder in the winter for more color and coverage.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Foundation....where?
I finally broke down and bought this foundation. I thought it would be great for my skin, since I hate foundation that feels heavy. This does look and feel good going on, but after a few hours, it's gone. I don't feel that I should have to apply foundation multiple times a day to keep the coverage. Also, during the winter sometimes my face gets dry, and this product seems to magnify that problem. I am very disappointed with this product. For the price I would expect more.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

good coverage, but too much effort
I like the way it feels light and airy, not cakey and oily. But I don't like the mess it causes in my bathroom. When I swirl, tap and buff, it leaves alot of powder in my sink and surrounding area. I like it because it does not cause breakouts, feels clean, and provides subtle coverage. I don't like the inconvenience of having to use the kabuki brush, poor transportation packaging, and messy powder everywhere. I'll stick to pressed powders for on the go touch ups.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
