Great for those days when only light coverage is needed May 17, 2008
I am partial to the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals line. This was the first bareMineral line I used and they only one I came back to after trying others brands. This product has a spf 15 and everyone needs this kind of protection. The formula is light and never cakey. It has been my experience that the chance of a break out using this foundation is minimal. It doesn't settle into every wrinkle on the face. It blends very well on the skin and the shades are easily matched to one's skin tone. I have used this whenever I need just a very light makeup coverage. This foundation glides onto the skin and looks very natural. But if you are looking for a heavier powder foundation that gives more coverage, then this probably isn't for you. I use another brand when I need more coverage. All in all, this is my go to coverage for those days when I only want a little color.
 Nice foundation for someone new to mineral make-up. May 16, 2008
When I first started wearing Bare Minerals, I was really excited about how I had finally found a light coverage powder (You can also layer it on to achieve a medium to heavy coverage). The key to using any mineral foundation is to use a kabuki brush and keep buffing. I was really impressed with this for a few months until I noticed that by the end of the day, my t-zone area would look really bizzare. My t-zone is usually not oily, but for some reason, when I wear this foundation, the make-up always looks like it's not "absorbed" into the t-zone area after a few hours. I don't have this problem at all in the first few hours when I wear the foundation. There are also a lot of "fillers" in this foundation. I found another brand called Everyday Minerals, and it is the BEST mineral make-up anybody will find. You can get free simples (You only have to pay standard First-Class shipping) until you find the right shade for your foundation, blush, and concealer. If you don't believe me, check out the reviews on [...] Everyday Minerals has the highest reviews out of all mineral make-up. Good luck!

i love this product line. it is natural looking and it provides just enough coverage. i'm a loyal customer.
Not for everyone, but could be - if used correctly May 13, 2008
My experience with Bare Escentuals products is that there appears to be every shade of the human color spectrum available for purchase. Yet, as someone whose skin is quite fair with bluish/pink undertones, I was unable to find a good match.
The Fair is too light and tends to be a bit chalky unless - and only if -a Primer (like Prime Time) is used underneath. For some reason, this makes a major difference.
The Fairly Light tends to leave a very visible greenish cast on my skin. Yet the texture (even without the Prime Time primer) is much, much better than Fair.
So, there needs to be a shade created that is somewhere between the Fair and the Fairly Light, in my opinion.
If the product is used with the right brush - it must be dense and also firm and coarse enough to beat the product into the skin so that it actually stays put -- it can look flawless. When wearing this product, despite the less-than-great color effect on my particular skin tone, I usually receive compliments about my skin; additionally, I do think it makes me look younger. I am in my late forties.
Incredible! Better than MAC! May 12, 2008
I must admit that I doubted this product could live up to the adverstisement, but it really does. I have roseaca with lots of spider veins and a six-month-old surgery scar on my cheek, and BM covers very well without the look or feel of any foundation. My skin now looks completely unpainted and blemish-free. It can even cover a psoriasis spot along my hairline, which is a tough customer. I thought that MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus was as good a product that I could find, but this is much better at the same price. I've always been self-conscious about my complextion, but not any more!
