Skin Care Review: Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals

by Lynne, Crown Point, IN USA

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Awesome coverage while feeling like you're wearing nothing on your face.

Drawbacks
It can be messy. A tad pricey.

Details
This stuff is AWESOME! I have gotten all kinds compliments regarding my complexion. A little awkward at first but once you learn how to use it, it's as easy (easier than!) as your "old" makeup. Very versatile - you can use as much or as little as you want, you can mix shades of this and that to "customize" a color, the powders last a long time. You really do need the kabuki brush for foundation coverage. It makes a world of difference. I have the concealer, foundation, warmth and mineral veil as my daily routine.

I have occasional breakouts but with this stuff any breakout virtually disappears. It feels like you have nothing on your face. I'll never go back to bottles and tubes of makeup. I've slowly expanded out to the lipsticks/lipglosses and eyeshadow/eyeliners.

The only issue I have is the mess. It seems to fly all over the counter. I put a tissue down but it feels wasteful. I can't really see a better way to package it, though. Once you learn how to use it, the waste doesn't seem so bad.

Try to buy in kits. You'll get the brushes you need that way - and more product for the $ rather than buying individual items.

Conclusions
Definitely worth the $ and the time/effort to learn to use!
