Very interesting make-up
 
Review Date: March 30, 2007
Reviewer: eddyreddy, Minnesota
first off the shipping was super FAST! on this was more like days not weeks. A very big plus for me as I sell on line daily so shipping to me is important. So 5 stars on the shipping!

I have not worn make-up with any regularity for about 30 yrs. I tried it here and there and did not like the feeling or the look. I tried high end department store products to low end make-up from drug store. Nothing seemed right.

I really tried this product on a whim. I had seen one of my customers one day who really looked nice and I told her. She said she went to a job interview,... and said she wore Bare Escentuals and loved it. She had ordered off of tv shopping show and was very happy with it.

I thought why not, so I ordered it. It did take me a few days to get the hang of working the powder and the brushes. It does cover up the ruddy-red that comes with age. I am suprised that as the day wears on, my face feels the same as if I had no make up on.

That is what I like, I do not look made up. It doesnt come off on the phone like other make-up tends to do. I still dont wear eye make up but I do use some of the Bare Esc. eye powder that is a dark grey under my eyebrows, just to open up my eyes some, as I wear glasses, too.
I am happy with the color choices and will know more when summer comes. I do tan easily so it will be interesting to see summer results.
Why make-up now after going for almost 30 yrs without?
To blend or cover the reddness and to even out color without it being heavy or made up. I even keep my fingers off of my face with this on.

I thought of sharing this with my daughter because I was so sure it wasnt going to work for me. But I kept it hidden from her and I will think of ordering her, her own set.

So all in all, it seems to work for me. Like I said it took a few days to get the hang of mastering the powder and brushes. I have had it for about two weeks and I am not one who spends time in front of a mirror, so far I feel like I can get this product on without taking too much time.

I just know that this is one make-up you cant put on in the car and drive at the same time, you need both hands, lol.
I swore I would never use this product...

I thought it was just a gimmick/fad to buy mineral make-up at this price and that it would be no different from my drugstore make-up. Even after my sister got it for her birthday last year, I still wasn't convinced it was so great. Only until I ordered it myself, watched the DVD to learn how to use it correctly & then actually used the product did I become a fanatic! I'm a tomboy so make-up is not high on my list to write reviews about, but I just am so amazed by this product that I had to write a review. It is so natural looking, covers flaws so wonderfully & is all natural to boot! How much better can you get than that? I don't have to worry about blemishes on my skin because of products with so many chemicals, etc. in them because you use so little of this natural product that even if you didn't feel like washing it off at night it wouldn't make any difference to your complexion. I am definitely a believer & will never use anything else!
It's great stuff.
 
Review Date: February 1, 2008
Reviewer: Mama Mia, Right Here, Right Now
This is my first review. I usually don't review stuff, but this time I'm making an exception.
I'm 8 months pregnant with my fourth child and I'm at a point where I'm feeling pretty icky about myself. I got this product as a present to myself, not expecting miracles, but as a little something to make me "feel pretty". I'm so glad that I did.
With this pregnancy I have developed dark circles under my eyes, spots, freckles, patchiness, dry spots, oily spots, darkened areas, huge pores, breakouts and red blotches. I've never had the perfect airbrushed-skin-of a- supermodel-in-a-magazine look, don't get me wrong, but what I've got going now is just... Terrible.
I was very light handed with the amount of powder I used which is KEY especially with the warmth. When I was done applying the foundation, warmth and mineral veil (about five minutes later), I noticed a huge difference and it didn't feel heavy and thick. It didn't feel like I was wearing any makeup at all. Even my hubby (who didn't take notice when I lopped off 6 inches of hair!) took notice at how "glowy and pretty" I looked when he came home from work a couple of hours later and asked if I went to get a facial at the spa!
The post application look isn't something that I would call flawless. That's just impossible. But I will say that my skin looks closer to perfect than ever before. My skin tone is even and it even FEELS less icky when I touch my face. It helps hide all the imperfections without feeling like I'm wearing makeup. I'm thrilled. Just remember, LESS IS MORE and using the Skin Revver-Upper before applying the foundation helps too.
Great kit for starter or to supplement your BE collection
 
Review Date: June 3, 2009
Reviewer: Heather D, Philadephia, PA
I've been using BE foundation and products for over 10 years, and I still buy starter kits from time to time for the brushes, foundation and extras. This is an excellent value kit and a great way to get started with mineral make up without a big investment.

If you like mineral make up, you will probably want to supplement the starter kit with blush, as well as eye color. I mostly use BE products for eyes/lips/cheeks, but do use other products (I like CG smoothers lipliner better than BE's options). BE brushes are a necessity in my book, and with care they will last for many years.

I don't agree with a previous review about this make up making pores look larger. I've found the opposite to be true -- here's my suggestion:

1. Start with a good moisturizer for your skin type -- this is necessary for the foundation to blend naturally with your skin. Give it time to soak into your skin before applying the foundation.

2. It's important to "buff" the foundation into your skin. Like the video says, "swirl, tap, buff". I've found that the "heavenly" face brush is the best choice for me because I like a little more coverage. I actually got it as part of a different kit a few years back, but they also sell it separately.

3. Use "Warmth" sparingly on fair skin b/c it can look muddy if you overdo it. I do like it in the summer but have to be careful not to use too much. I've also found "Bare Radiance" is a good alternative to "Warmth", and Golden Gate blush works well too.

4. Use the Mineral Veil lightly to set the make up and tone done any oily areas throughout the day. I also use along my lash line after putting on eye liner to reduce smudging on hot summer days.

Other favorite BE items: Laughter (blush), Auburn (powder for brows), Amaretto and Couture (lipsticks) and the double ended shaping brush (I use the small end for eyebrow definition, and the shaped end for foundation as concealer as needed). Good luck!

Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit, medium/Medium Beige
 
Review Date: March 8, 2007
Reviewer: N. Goodman, Austin, TX
This is the first time I tried Bare Escentuals and I bought the med/medium beige started kit from Amazon. It was so easy to apply and feels light like I am not wearing any makeup and looks so natural. The brushes are the best to use, they so soft on my face. I love this product.
Love this product

I love Bare Escentuals makeup, and this was an easy and efficient way to get what I wanted. The makeup covers well, and doesn't cake up during the day.
Great Product

Reviewer: Holly Nelsen, Carmel, IN
This is the best makeup ever. I have never worn anything that did not feel heavy, but this is very light. Bare Minerals provides great coverage and I strongly recommend it.
Finally, A wonderful product !!!!! I can wear foundation now!

No makeup is right for every person, but I've been using Bare Escentuals for over a year, and I've never had so many compliments on my skin. I'm over 60. It is the perfect makeup for me. It covers my "red" perfectly, and never, ever feels like I'm wearing makeup. I use their pink eye shadow as blush. My daughter introduced me to it, and she uses it too.
