 If Bare doesn't work for you, try Alima July 24, 2008
I've been using Bare Escentuals for a couple of years. It doesn't give me the flawless look that a lot of people seem to get from it. But, it's better than using a liquid foundation. I have very sensitive skin and luckily bare didn't make me break out like a lot of people did because of one of the ingredients (bismuth oxychloride) that they use. But the coverage, for me, is poor. About 30 minutes after I put Bare Escentuals on my face, it is very shiny and most of the makeup has faded and I find that the mineral veil just makes my face look shinier. Bare also doesn't have a shade that matches my skin tone. I'm fair/light with pink undertones, not yellow.
I was reading through the reviews for Bare Escentuals and came across a review that suggested using Alima mineral foundation instead since they do not use bismuth oxychloride in their foundations. I immediately researched Alima, went to their website and looked at all of their products. I was very happy to see that they had 60 different shades of foundation (so if you are having trouble finding you shade I would recommend looking through their shades). I also was glad to see that they sold samples of not only their foundation, but their primer, balancing powder, concealer, and finishing powders. They also have samples of their lip and eye makeups. They processed and shipped my order quickly and within a few days I had my samples. I actually found a foundation that matched my skin tone, the primer helped keep away the shine, and the balancing powder really did help. I wore the makeup for hours and it stayed. I recommend you click the find your perfect color link when looking at their foundation shades to help you find a shade that will match your skin tone.
A lot of people love Bare Escentuals foundation though, so I suggest researching mineral foundations to find out which will work best for you. It was just nice for me to find another option.
 Great Product! July 22, 2008
I have been using this product exclusively since 2003. It goes on very light yet provides good coverage. I have very oily skin and I have not had to reapply, even after a workout. Prior to using mineral foundation, I used Estee Lauder's "Camouflage" foundation and Bare Escentuals coverage is just as good. Liquid foundation tends to settle in around the wrinkles, hence making us appear older.
To the women who used Bare Escentuals and claimed it made them look older - they probably have very dry skin or used a shade that was too light, or applied too much. I have recommended this product to all of my friends and they love it, too. I am completely sold on the mineral foundation! I would never use the liquid type again.
good stuff July 21, 2008
I was having trouble finding this item in a store, and was relieved to discover it on line. It arrived in good condition, and within a reasonable time after I placed my order.
wonderful! Repeat customer July 17, 2008
I have been wearing this make-up line since Nov. 07 and won't switch to anything else. At one point I waited too long to purchase another foundation and in desperation I ran out to the local drug store and purchased "mineral" make-up. The quality of the store bought make-up can not compare to Bare Minerals, HANDS DOWN! The other cheaper stuff smelled heavily of talcum powder, and by far did not provide the coverage I was used to with Bare Minerals.
I used to be self conscious about my makeup all day, checking on it several times a day and worried that it had smeared off on my shirt. This make-up is worry free. I put it on in the morning, and don't worry about it all day. Plus, I have never had trouble with it rubbing off on to something else or feeling heavy. I highly reccommend this makeup. I have oily skin, and it works great.
One key to remember is to apply moisturizer prior to the make-up, and you're all set~!
 Worst let down ever! Try Alima instead... July 13, 2008

I loved this makeup ...at first... but then my not-so-sensitive skin started to react to something...really BADLY! I've never had such bad breakouts in my life, even as a teenager! I have stopped using Bare Escentuals for a little over two weeks now and my skin is STILL burning, red, itchy and absolutely horrid! I'm using Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream to heal it. How can they sell this stuff if such a large percentage of people are having trouble with it? It covers beautifully and was long-lasting so it's a terrible let down. I've never had such a bad experience with makeup in my life!
I just ordered some samples from Alima cosmetics (after doing a lot of research on pure/natural mineral makeup)and they have some great colors! NO bismuth oxychloride or whatever it was that killed my skin...down with Bare Escentuals!
