Is bare escentuals worth it?

Question

Is it worth the price?

And if you have it did it make your skin itch?

Answer 1

it's worth the price if it works for you.  I would recommend going into Ulta and having them test it on you first.  1- because the color selections arent too great and 2- because it does tend to itch and/or breakout skin on certain individuals. For me personally it was incredibly too chalky (even with the slightest bit of product) and it also made my skin itch and I'm not one to have sensitive skin.   A lot of people rave that its incredible for them but again, we're all different so if you possibly can have a test run before spending all the money on it ^_^  

Answer 2

Yes, it is worth the price because it lasts a really long time (both the actual product and the expiration date because it expires after most other makeup does).

No, it did not make my skin itch. It made my skin softer, smoother, and it feels like I'm not wearing any makeup at all.

Answer 3

It is worth every penny. I was skeptical at first so I tried a friends it makes your skin look wonderful and it will even hide your acne.  You have to use it right to get full coverage but it is so worth it. I won't leave the house with out it on and i have never been a huge make up person!!

And no itching!!

go buy the starter kits they include everything you need and a video that shows you how to put it on!!

Answer 4

I don't think it's worth what I paid for it.  I NEVER use the blush or the bronzer, only one of the two skin tones works for me, and when I'm out of the setting powder (Mineral Veil), I'm probably going to buy a cheaper brander of mineral setting powder....

It doesn't make my skin itch, but then I don't have sensitive skin either.

I'd start with a less expensive brand's minerals makeup..... it seems everyone's got one now... so try something less pricey to see how you like the effect on your skin.

The biggest  problem with powder mineral makeups is that if you have fine lines anywhere, the powder will ACCENTUATE them!  Not good if you're over 30 and have little lines around your mouth, eyes, or nose....

Answer 5

NO it is not worth it, it made my skin break out and itch, because it contains the ingredient Bismuth Oxychloride which many people are apparently allergic to.

Check out Everyday Minerals, it's a lot cheaper, the brushes are a lot softer, and there are more varieties of shades to choose from. They also have free samples for you to try to find your right shade, shipping is only $3 and you can order as many free samples as you want.

Answer 6

yea..

Answer 7

well it didn't make my skin itch but it did NOT look natural on my skin, personally. i have combination skin so it's both oily and dry, and it would make my dry spots look drier and oily spots more oily. :/ and they don't really have the exact shade to match my skin tone, so i'm just sticking with my everyday minerals or my MAC.  

Answer 8

absolutley its a genius make up and its worth every penny! make sure u get the clear radiance too it makes your skin glow and it lasts forever ive been using it for 3 years now  

Answer 9

Ive tried many things calle dmakeup out there and Bare E. was not any good for me.  I have very sensitive skin and besides making me breakout, made it also look dull and dry after wearing it for a couple of weeks.

Didnt make me itch. It is not too pricey, but it hurt my pocket for I disposed of it when it was practically new.  Sephora wouldnt give me my $$$ back.

I use and recommend my clients the Artistry Essentials, they are Botanical (all natural and non allorgen)

Ive had 100% satisfaction. You have a 6 month $$ back guarantee if not satisfied.  It blends gracefully with the skin (mineral powder and concealer)

Hope I helped,
