Quick Take: natural finish

I've been using Bare Minerals for 2-3 years now and I absolutely love it. I have a lot of blemishes and really oily skin. It has the best coverage out there! I usually start with NuSkin's Tinted Moisturizer then use Meidium Beige, but some blush on, then finish off with Mineral Veil!
Really works wonders.

There's a picture, and remember I have a ton of acne scars and things like that from when I was younger. That picture is straight how it came off of my phone

truly flawless - 11.23.09
Quick Take: buildable coverage, natural finish

long wearing natural looking and light. excellent product with natural elements. skin has improved since i started using about 6 months ago. ask for help matching your own skin tone. skin should be well hydrated though for the best finish.

Didn't work for me. - 11.23.09
I wanted it to work, but it didn't for me. My dryness wouldn't let it.

great for a "lite" makeup day - 11.23.09
Quick Take: light and flawless

I wear this on days when I would most likely wear little or no makeup. This foundation, a little bronzer, some mascara and a lipgloss and I look luminous and fresh all day!

Bare Escentuals Make up - 11.23.09
Quick Take: natural finish, light, full coverage

I love this stuff, it's the only make up that doesn't make me break out. It's so light and still provides full coverage. This is the only make up I use.

Quick Take: natural finish

Still by far my favorite foundation. Goes on smooth & has great coverage. Still don't quite like it around my eyes - but i just use a cream on those and it comes out great.

This is the only foundation i have found which doesn't make my skin break out. I can never get as good a coverage as they show in the demonstrations, but overall a nice product.

I have used Bare Minerals in Medium Beige for 3 years now. It is a good foundation that does not leave your skin feeling cakey nor heavy. It covers redness, blemishes, scars, etc. And one thing I really like is that it does not drip off like liquid foundations. Instead, it stays on your skin until you yourself wash it off. Also, one container lasted me about one year, which is great if you're on a budget!

Amazing Product - 11.22.09
Quick Take: non-drying, buildable coverage, natural finish

Lasts all day even with sweat/rain/anything and a little goes a long way, so you don't need to use much. Looks incredibly natural and just smooths over any problems you might have - also great for masking redness.

Not for me - 11.22.09
Quick Take: not for oily skin, not very good coverage, not good if you're in a hurry, cakey, good for skin

I was a lot of trouble in the mornings, having to mix it and what not. I have oily skin so within an hour it settled on top of my skin and looked completely unnatural. Im am also and athlete and it did not hold up very well during the day. I also need a lot of coverage for my skin and this foundation did not deliver it, and when i kept reapplying it to "build" the coverage I needed, it ended up looking really cakey. It looked shiny, made a big mess, and getting it to look good on me took more than its worth.
However, i found that after using it for a month or so that my skin was pretty cleared up.

The Best - 11.22.09
Quick Take: non-drying, buildable coverage, natural finish, flawless

I love bareMinerals. This foundation is light, easy to apply, and gives my face a flawless finish... even though it is far from flawless. Just yesterday, my fiance said it looked like a stepped right out of the front cover of a magazine. This foundation really is incredible and does a great job of protecting my skin.
