Tell me about your experiences with Bare Escentuals/Minerals

I have used BM for over 6 months now on and off, and I have not been braking out any more than usual. I love the make up and love the way it looks on me, i have very fair skin, and all make ups that I have tried so far, would give me a yellowish tint, which obviously did not look good. BM put an end to all of that, I love it.

I have read that while BE is great makeup for everyday, that it doesn't photograph well (pretty much applies to all mineral makeup). Basically, the minerals are reflective so it looks washed out in most lighting, especially a flash. While I'm at it, I've also read that makeup with SPF will do the same thing. Now... if I could only find that article I read it in! It had some great recommendations for what brands to get. I will keep hunting...

I love Bare Escentuals. What I really like is you can get the coverage you need w/o it "looking" like make-up .. but you can also do heavier coverage for "nights out", etc with ease.

 

I also never had any skin issues with it - it was great for my skin - which is usually oily and breaks out pretty easily.

 

I have lots of skin discoloration on my face from too much sun exposure, and it's always worked well to blend and cover.
