I have severe allergies and NO problems with this!
Again, Lasik on the eyes means that you may have difficulties wearing certain eye makeups. Other than Clinique I can wear their shadows and liners! The SUPER thing about this is you can 'create' your own color. I live in Florida which means I get suntan just looking out the window! This has a basic SPF of 15, the liner is powder but you can add water (please don't use spit) and make it more intens...read moree. I like the fact it looks light on my skin, I LOVE the mineral veil and this makes my skin soooo soft! I bought it for my Mom when she was dying from pancreatic cancer; she was able to at least look a little better and it made her feel better about her looks. How can you go wrong there? AND I was recently a featured extra in a movie. Well, you do your OWN makeup for that. It was hot outside as we would wait to go on set; I had my mineral veil with me to keep me from being shiny. My powder eye liner didn't run like others, my mineral veil kept me from getting 'raccoon eyes' and I looked fresh. Kevin Spacey's makeup artist came over and looked at my face and was impressed. She gave me a few personal pointers and at lunch we played with my stuff. She said she loved the stuff too - so I looked like I had been professionally done every day on the set. And you know what? I was chose for more scenes because I looked better. Again how can you go wrong? Oh, and you CAN fall asleep with this stuff on and NOT ruin your pillow cases, wake up with soft skin and not break out! One more time - HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG????This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

My favorite foundation...ever!
I have been searching for my perfect foundation for about 30 years now, and I think I have finally found it. I have very fair skin, mild rosacea, a few very fine wrinkles, and normal/dry skin. The foundation is my best color match ever, and is the most comfortable I have worn. I can wear it from early morning to late at night with lasting coverage. I do recommend using the concealer products (Bisque and Well-Rested) for dark undereye circles and rosacea. Love it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Beware-
This product is advertised as gentle, and non allergenic, but I had a terrible reaction to it, and broke out in massive hives. If you have allergies, I wouldn't recommend this.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not bad, especially in summer
The coverage can feel very light, and only looks good on well moisturized skin. In the winter, it really shows dry spots. But in the summer humidity of NY, nothing beats Bare Escentuals.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Too Messy and Shiny
I purchased this the same time I purchased the beginning fairly light/light kit. It's just a pain in the you know what to have to cover your outfit with a towel in order to put on makeup and not get it all over you and everything else. Again, this powder leaves your face too shiny and just shows the wrinkles and lines in your face. I don't care how old you are, no one likes lines or wrinkles.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Coverage too light
I felt that the powder did not provide enough coverage and just made my face shiny. The powder is very messy and you have to be careful not to get it all over your clothes. Poor product packaging and you can't do a touch-up because the powder is loose, I mean really loose. Very Disappointed.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Great but Could be better for the Price
This is definitely better that most department store brands, I love the coverage but your skin needs to be well moisturized before applying the product. So other than being costly and rather messy It's something that I really can't do without. To find a good color it can be helpful to try it out at Sephora or Ulta 3 it may save you money in the Long run.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Itchy and Uncomfortable
I tried the Bare Escentuals line for about two months and was'nt able to make it work. It made my skin extremely itchy and uncomfortable. It felt heavy on my skin. The Kabuki brush felt scratchy. I bought about $250 worth of products and returned it all back.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Good coverage
I've been using bareminerals for a few years now. I like it so much better than liquid foundations. My favorite feature is how well it covers flaws. Use a small brush to cover blemishes or scars and then brush it out and VOILA! Your skin will look evened out. The kit's a good start, but I don't use all the products.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
