Review: Worth a try
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I was not looking for a miracle, just something that was not oily like liquid foundation. I have tried 3 other brands of mineral foundaions, one was very expensive ($100.00 a jar the same size as BE). I liked it but did not last as long as promised, about 4 months. The other made my skin feel heavy, so that was out. I tried Physician, but my face itched and looked "plastic". I read all the reviews here and found that there are such a great differnces in opinions.
First, read the ingrediats. If you are unsure of anything, don't use it (or ask your doctor)..This goes for any product.
Second, nothing "light" is going to cover heavy blemishes, lines, or scars.
Third, just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for someone else...I have tried some of the products recomended here and
a few of them were worthless...but they may be great for someone else.
Now that I have irritated everyone here, I appolgize.
My thought..it is a work in progress for me. For right now, it works but in a year I may change. I'm 54, meduim-light skin color, with combination skin. I cleanse morning and night and moisturize after cleansing. The first time I tried BE I hated it. I was not applying it right. I used too much and it looked awful, but that was how I applied my liquid foundation. I was never taught how to apply makeup. I have a friend who is a makeup artist, showed me what I was doing wrong with both liquid and powder foundation. I'm still working on my application.
The powder goeas everywhere, a common problem stated here. I found a very small glass bowl at a kitchen store that is used as a prep cup (hold measured spices). Small with high sides. I tap my powders into this cup and then do the "swirl and tap" The sides of this cup are about 3 time taller the the cap for the powders. Much less to clean up. I do wish the packaging was more "travel friendly"
I am sorry if I offened anyone.
Review: Works for Dry skin too!!!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
My skin is so dry that regular liquid foundation peels off my face in large flakes. So I stopped wearing foundation until I found bare minerals. It covers very nice and it feels like I am not wearing any make-up at all. For dry skin I would recommend using the prime-time primer or skin rever upper 5 to 10 minutes before putting on the powder. It adds just the right amount of moisture. And for blemishes I love the rare minerals blemish therapy. It is tinted and cleared up my blemishes in only a few days.
I used to get mad because there were parabens in this product but the last set I bought no longer had them so that is a +.
Review: Love it

I have been using this product for a few years now and I haven't used any other makeup since then. Perfect color on my skin, and hides my imperfections without leaving my skin oily. Review: Okay
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I used bare minerals for about a year, but have stopped now and am in the search for a new foundation. While, I liked bare minerals I found the whole tap, swirl, buff regimen quite a bore. Also, I felt the minerals were very messy. I did like bare minerals enough that if they came up with a new delivery system, such as the one used bay smashbox halo, I would try it again. This is a common complaint that have heard from others. The other issue is the BE makes your skin very matte. It is hard to get that dewy look from BE. I also found it did not cover as well as I would have liked.
