I don't use anything else! September 10, 2010
Amanda Torres (California)
I am 22, and I've suffered from cystic acne throughout my life. I was tired of using cream and liquid foundations because of my skin being oily, hence more acne. I asked my dermatologist one day what they would recommend as far as a cover up and foundation, and she told me Bare Escentuals. I thought it was expensive, but I bought the starter kit, and it is still going strong for me. It's been over a year, I still have powder left. I just recently bought some eyeshadows from bare escentuals that I love as well, but I will NEVER go back to other foundations and coverups after trying this! I have it in fair, and it leaves my skin almost looking air brushed. And it DOES cover up acne and acne scars really well, I was surprised at that because I thought it wouldn't being just powder. I have since taken Accutane, which has left my skin clear, and I ADORE this product even more now! I will never go back!
For oily/acne prone skin, a good solution September 6, 2010
sistertek81
I've got very oily skin even though I live in an extremely dry climate. I was skeptical of this product as I am of all products on TV since 9 out of 10 times they're full of crap. Nevertheless I was desperate for a makeup that worked well for me, so I decided to give this rather expensive solution a try. I'm pretty pleased with my results, and here's why:
1.) The matching is pretty good. No makeup line.
2.) The makeup conceals well. Very well. Not a magical coverup but as close as it comes for me, and this is no small feat considering I have enlarged pores, dark circles, and occasional breakouts.
3.) The makeup doesn't make my skin feel oilier, and requires minimal re-application (i.e. 1-2 times a day brush up as opposed to spending all day retouching with a compact). Sorry - but us oily skinned gals are going to require reapplication no matter what, and I suspect that most of us already know this all too well.
4.) The makeup does not agitate existing acne and does not cause breakouts. Enough said. If you have adult acne that is hormonal or cyclical like me, you learn what agitates your breakout cycle further. This makeup may be the only makeup I have ever used that does not agitate an existing breakout even if used as concealer.
The cons are in my opinion - extended application time, "mess factor", portability (it sucks to carry a powder and a brush around all day but I think they sell an overpriced specialty compact for this purpose if you feel so inclined), and of course the cost. Like I said I was so desperate for a decent coverage solution that I shelled out the money for the makeup and I do so now on a regular basis. For oily and acne prone skin like mine this is the closest thing to a "miracle" on the market - far from an actual miracle but a feasible solution.
I have rosacea and... August 18, 2010
Senora Catalina (OHIO)
As my mild rosacea developed, I had to abandon any sort of powder or foundation because it would cause my cheeks to redden and burn. My skin tolerates Bare Minerals very well over prescription Metrogel or Finacea, then Clinique's Redness Solutions soother and moisturizer, then BM's Prime Time. The DVD that comes with the Bare Escentuals intro kit is very informative, plus you get the brushes and several minerals more economically. I use a lighter shade of mineral powder with the small brush for concealer (under eyes, sides of nose), then use the kabuki or smaller brush to apply my matching shade. This product line doesn't cause my skin to burn painfully and makes for an improved, more polished appearance, which is all I ask--I stopped requiring miracles of products some time ago. One thing about these products--they aren't very portable as the powder shakes out into the top of the jar. I carry a Physician's Formula mineral compact in my purse and when traveling. This drugstore product works well, but doesn't come in as many shades and isn't as finely milled. P.S. Listen to us. We all wind up spending inordinate amounts of time, money and psychic energy on our looks. It is our culture, but I declare at least one day per week a comfortable, cursory grooming day. We'd all have more time and money and be less stressed. We might even use some of that time and energy to improve our minds and spirits. Who knows what would come of THAT???
I love Bare Minerals! August 11, 2010
L.A. Amy
I just started using the Bare Minerals line this year and I will never go back to liquid foundation! Bare Minerals feels great on my skin and it doesn't clog my pores. The coverage is great and it looks so natural. Make sure that you have one of the Bare Minerals brushes to use with this product for the best results. There are so many shades that you can find the perfect shade for any skin color! I recommend this to all skin types!
Okay for very oily, acne proned skin July 22, 2010
P. V. Anderson (Bay Area, CA)
I used BE's original formula for it's bare mineral foundation, so I decided to give this a try. Before I had problems finding a good match of foundation for my skin tone but since they came out with more colors, I finally found something that matched (golden tan)! This one comes with a cool plastic top that you twist to open (to dispense the product) or close, which can prevent some nasty spills. The coverage is still the same, you can always build it up to get your desired coverage you want. It does well, on it's own, covering/softening my acne scars that I have on my face. It doesn't irritate my skin or cause break outs like a lot of the foundations I have tried in the past, however since I do have very oily skin I notice I have to blot/do touch ups. I highly suggest wearing a primer underneath this if you do have oily skin. It's a very long lasting foundation, which is great since I'm usually on campus for a long time.
Overall, it's a nice foundation that I would recommend using.
