Is Bare Escentuals any good?

Question

I have been looking for a new foundation because all my others look bad. I can never get the right shade. And if I do, it looks unatural. Please help.

Answer 1

I use it and love it!

Answer 2

No. Plus it's chocked full of "fillers' though natural, they aren't good for you , like bismuth. Be careful with the seen on tv make ups. You only get little bits, & it's full of gunk.It actually can irritate your skin even.  

Answer 3

YES, I am not a makeup girl very often but when I decide to get all dolled up this is what I use. It is very easy to put on and wonderful if you have sensitiveskin.

Answer 4

i've heard it's awful. maybe those people just have extremely dry skin and that's why.

please answer mine!

Answer 14

It's the greatest!! I have used numerous other foundations and will never use anything else but bare essentials now. It covers everything, it never looks heavy, and it doesn't make you break out. If you're like me and forget to wash your face at night or are too lazy, you don't have to worry about leaving it on because it won't clog your pores. My husband who doesn't really like makeup says it looks natural and makes me look glowing and beautiful. If you can find a bare essentials store near you I would suggest you go there to buy it. They will give you a free makeover which really helps in finding the color that work for you and also helps you learn techniques. Also they have starter kits that have more stuff in them than the ones you can buy online or through sephora.

Answer 15

OMG, Do NOT listen to these retarded women. That stuff is TERRIBLE for your skin. The only good thing about it is it's advertising or it's just for people with perfect skin. I think most of the people here raving about it are people who work for the company or something. The stuff will just make your skin terrible. If you want a great mineral make-up I would suggest EveryDay Minerals. It hides and HEALS your imperfections, it is also cheaper. You can try out their free sample kit, all you pay for is shipping and handling which is like $3. It also works pretty good with MAC's Fix+. Here are the links:

Hope I helped.

Answer 16

I found that it was messy and didn't cover very well.  I prefer PUR mineral makeup and Senna mineral make up.

Answer 17

The first time i ever tried it was bad, I was so upset cause I loved how natural it felt on my face and the coverage but the color was too chalkie, i'm black and I have a milk chocolate complexion and it was the deepest shade they had at the time which is the problem with most foundations out there for woman of my color.  About two years later they came out with a deeper shade and it matches my skin perfect!  I would suggest buying the primer, it's called primetime.  It's a little pricey but makes the minerals go on so much better and last longer during the day.  Also invest in a good brush, the bare minerals brand brushes are great quality and last a very long time but if you get a decent brand name like sophora or smashbox for cheaper they would be just as good.  I still can't use the bisk and mineral veil finishers they all make me look chalkie so I use hourglass brand minerals in bronze.  The best thing you can do before making the investment is go into a Bare Escentuals Boutique, Macey's, nordstroms, Sephora or Ulta store with a fresh clean face  Any of those places would be more then happy to do your full make up in the bare minerals brand for free.

Answer 18

Bianca J is right, Bare Escentuals and Bare Minerals are not only a waste of money, but they can actually RUIN the condition of your skin. Bare Minerals and Bare Escentuals use an ingredient called bismuth which is a form of arsenic and is a known skin irritant. It clogs pores and can not be applied to the skin with a sponge as the bismuth molecules are too large (which is why bare Minerals and bare Escentuals claims you have to "buff" them into your skin). Because of the bismuth, Bare Minerals and Bare Escentuals brings attention to wrinkles and fine lines, causes acne break outs, clogs pores, is cakey, wears off after a few hours and does NOT give good coverage. Also, many women have complained that this product made their skin itch and burn in the summer. I used to use Bare Escentuals an initially I liked it....then later on in the day I looked at my face and it was incredibly oily and itchy. When I took off my make up, I had a PLETHORA of little red bumps all over my face. I had to use a micro dermabrasion kit to get my skin to look somewhat normal again, and even after that fiasco (which was four years ago) my skin STILL does not look the same. I use to have great skin, now I have blemishes wear the little bumps use to be. I HIGHLY recommend that you find another mineral makeup...one that is PURE and does not contain bismuth and talc. Honestly, girl....if you saw my face when I had all of those bumps...you wouldn't even be thinking about purchasing Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals.  

Answer 19

They are wonderful.  They match all skin tones, they don't clog your pores and they have a natural spf which we all need!

Answer 20

yess. its really good. i love how its so lite on your skin, and feels as if your not even wearing any makeup. it also gives you a more natural look.

its worth every penny =)
