Is it worth it?

Bare Essentials is the best make up system I have ever used in my life. From day 1 folks commented on how beautiful and soft my skin looked. I'm an exceptionally happy and satified customer
Great product

This is a great product when used correctly. I have found that you can't use too much. It is fast and makes your skin look natural. I don't feel that the concealer works for undereye circles as well as it could. I need more coverage.
Wow!!

I have been using Bare Minerals for several years now. It works as well as it is advertised. I have alot of redness (broken capillaries) on my face and this is the only makeup I have found that will cover it up. I have also tried the eye shadows, eye liners and blush and love them too.
the best i've used

I bought BM after seeing the informercial & checking out reviews on-line. It is more expensive than similar products. But, you get what u pay for. I was not impressed after the 1st application, probably because I really I did not know what to expect. However, the second application looked good. After I let the product "set" on my skin for a few minutes, I was very pleased with the results! I can apply BM in less than 1 minute! And I frequently get compliments about how good my face looks. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. No need to join the club-one kit will last a good while (ie cancel the auto ship and order when u need it). Bottom line-Worth the cost!
3 years and still love it

I have used this product for 3 years and love it. A regular size of the foundation lasts about 4 months which for the price is terrific. In fact all the products last, a blush may last as long as 6 months. You don't need much. It doesn't run when you sweat. I use all products (foundation, blush, mineral veil, eye shadows). It takes a couple trys to get it right. I'm 52 and this is the best foundation I have every worn. I suggest you find it either on line or at her stores.
Too Expensive
2/12/2006 - Victoria of Nevada, USA writes:
It ended up costing more than $50.00 when all was said and done. The mineral veil and the warmth were very good, but the actual foundation was cakey. The foundation sits in the wrinkles no matter how much you swirl the kabuki brush over them. It looks especially bad around the eyes. The mineral veil was great. Very translucent and light over any light foundation. They give you a very small amount of the mineral veil and I ended up using it up quickly. So expensive to replace, that I'm looking for an alternative. The warmth lasts and lasts and actually works very well, just like they say, and works over any foundation. Takes longer to blend than advertised, but the brushes are high quality. Would love to have more of the mineral veil, but the cost is outrageous.
Love It!

I've been using BM for over a year and I'm thrilled with it. I had run out of it and went back to using my liquid foundation which I had in the house and OMG what a difference. I didn’t realize how old the liquid foundation made me look! All my lines and creases were exaggerated! I had used the BM for so long I forgot how bad I looked with a liquid! I quickly found a shop near by that sells BM and ran to get me more. I have a back-up supply so I'll never have to worry about this again. BM is wonderful!
good for oily skin
1/31/2006 - Jeani of Oklahoma, USA writes:
I have only used for a couple of days. The biggest thing I notice is it is great for my oily skin...It looks great and keeps the oil down..(using the veil as well, probably what is controlling the oil). I have tried dozens of makeups and I always feel so gross by the end of the day as if I have layers of oil and dirt on my face. This product feel very light, clean and not artificial. I also have noticed my slight acne is clearing up. The only thing I have not figured out is how to conceal the acne. I can still see it through the makeup but it does look much much better. I may not be applying in those areas properly. I am very pleased with how it feels and looks!
Drying on Dry Skin
1/15/2006 - Ivy of New Jersey, USA writes:
They claim it is not a drying powder. I found it to be just that. I used it for 3 days. On the fourth day, my skin was bumpy and irritated. Too bad. Application was flawless, effortless, and fast. If I didn't have dry skin, I would continue to use it. It is a good product for people with oily skin. One more false claim is that the product can cover blemishes. It's a translucent "powder." It covers only the lightest of blemishes.
Great product but a bit messy
1/11/2006 - Sherry of Alabama, USA writes:
I love the coverage and colors. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that it is a bit messy. I end up wasting alot on the bathroom counter. However, a little goes a long way so even though some is wasted, it is still a great buy.
Works well, TOO expensive
1/9/2006 - Christine of Arizona, USA writes:
I used this makeup, but would not buy this brand again because of the ridiculously high price. The makeup is very nice, and does cover well. It also looks beautiful when applied correctly. There are other brands available for about 1/8 the price of Bare Minerals. I bought another brand of the same type of makeup from a seller of Smoky Mountain Minerals on a very popular auction website. I love this kind of makeup (just not the outrageous price of Bare Minerals).
Best ever!

What a joy! I hardly know I'm wearing makeup, and my husband, who always used to comment on my "makeup line" at the edges of my face, now says "you look great, aren't you wearing makeup anymore?"
Great product
1/5/2006 - Elizabeth of Arizona, USA writes:
I have a mild form of rosacea and I've tried for years to find something that would minimize the redness. This is the only product that has worked for me. One day I tested the product by putting it on before my daily exercise. There was no redness, even after working out.
Messier than you think and makes me sneeze
12/23/2005 - Lorna of Utah, USA writes:
I got compliments. Can be drying, but it doesn't go on well over freshly applied moisturizer. The blushes are dark. It will fall on your clothes if you're not careful. Makes me sneeze all day. The setting powder undoes some of the coverage. The makeup cleanser bottle was empty when I got it. PROS: It gives good coverage without looking etremely heavy over skin that's evenly moist. It can look like good skin. Sleeping in it doesn't cause acne. The big brushes are helpful. CONS: Any dryness or oil makes it look streaky and cakey. The powder falls onto your clothes. I often sneeze. Blush is very dark. The special brushes are not easily found elsewhere and they fall apart after a little while. Verdict: I use it now and then and I like the look for a few hours, but it doesn't stay well (especially as a concealer). I like other makeups better.
Great Product!

This product really works! I have used it for almost a year and have loved it. For the high price it does last a long time. I have not used anything else but Bare Minerals on my face except for the mascara that comes in the kit. That doesn't work well at all. This 'makeup' makes your skin glow and it's all natural-great for sensitive skin. Once you try this, you can't go back to anything else!
Good product
12/16/2005 - Katherine of Minnesota, USA writes:
I am 27 and have been using this makeup for about two years. I have always had acne and very oily skin. This makeup actually does hide blemishes fairly well and evens out the skin tone. It does feel very clean just like they say on the commercial. Most of the time I don't even wash it off at night, which I know is bad, but the makeup really doesn't clog pores. The only downside to it is that it's quite messy. you have to be careful opening the jars, or it will spill all over your countertop and clothes. I don't think people with very dry skin would like it much. Overall, I am very pleased.
not sure
12/14/2005 - Laurie of Michigan, USA writes:
I love this product. It's so easy to use and you don't need a lot to get good coverage. I'm in the club and I suggest that you select delivery at every 3 months instead of 2 (it really lasts). I have facial scarring and it covers them well. I love that I don't have a greasy feeling on my skin anymore.
Buyer beware - allergic reaction!
12/12/2005 - Meta of Mississippi, USA writes:
I was initially pleased with the coverage and appearance of the product. When I began using the foundation, I noticed that my skin became very dry. After using this for one week, my face turned bright red and I developed a raised rash from my cheeks to my jawline. The redness and rash lasted for a week after I discontinued the product. I eventually saw a dermatologist to get rid of the rash. Two weeks later, my skin is still extremely dry and uncomfortable. I have good skin and this is the first allergy I've had to any makeup. I think it might be the concentrated minerals that caused this reaction. Buyer beware!
Great Product

I love this product. It made my skin look flawless. My face is very oily around the T-Zone and it helped minimize the shine. I don't have to use a compact every hour.
great makeup
11/27/2005 - CHRIS of OHIO, UNITED STATES writes:
I've been using Bare Minerals for a year now and it's the best makeup i've ever put on my face. It gives the natural look and doesnt wear off. If you want to avoid joining the club, shop []. You will find you will pay alot less and get more for the price.
