Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
LOVE it! I don't see myself going back to any other kind of makeup. I look & feel like I'm not wearing makeup, just like I have really good skin when I use it. I'm becoming addicted though. I keep buying different kits.

I have the starter kit and I like it, but am going to keep looking around for the perfect foundation. I might try prescriptives next.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I like it a lot..does take a bit longer, but worth it!
I have the starter kit and find it goes a long way for a lot of things...ie. the clear radiance as an eyeshadow base..

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I used it for 4 years and last year switched to Pur minerals which is a mineral makeup but it is in a pressed form but you put it on the same way. This one is better for my skin. It never gets oily, with Bare Ecentuals after a few hours my skin felt slick.

I love it but you have to be careful with how much you put on, otherwise it looks caked on.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I like the makeup but hate how messy it gets. Plus I find it hard to travel with so I only use it occasionally these days.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I tried it about a month or two ago. I like it very much, can't really say I LOVE it. I'll still try out other brands in search of perfection.
I also find I waste so much of it because it blows everywhere. When I'm done, I can see traces of it all over my hands, my sink etc. Does this only happen to me?

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I started with the starter kit too several years ago. Expect for my wedding, that the only make up I use. I will never go back to liquid foundation.
I love the look and feel.

Doesn't only happen to you - it's the one thing I don't like about it.

I was thinking of trying Pur minerals. Do they have an equivalent of the mineral veil?
I've been using BE for a couple years, but I do notice that my skin gets oily mid-day, and I feel like it makes any wrinkles more obvious by settling into the wrinkles. But I do love the ease of application...So much faster than other makeup.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I love BM foundation & concealer! their brushes are also very high quality and really soft against your skin.
I have used their blushes, eye shadows and mascara, but found other brands to be better for me.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
i love it! I was never a foundation wearer and now I have something I can apply and use with such ease!!!
ETA: I store mine in a hard make-up case, so everything is kept stacked neat. When I travel I place tape over the holes and bring tape to seal again to travel back home.
In the begginning I did drop the little containers.....WHAT A MESS!! I since learned to hold on tighter and open over the sink.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I only use their foundation and Mineral Veil (which I love!!). It's nice, light and evens out my skin (which is all I really wanted it for).
Having played around with it for about a year now I have learned to keep them in my medicine cabinet (as opposed to makeup bag) - to avoid the spillage - and to make sure my face (even though it is naturally oily) moisturized or else the powder cakes up.

This is my biggest issue with the product. Their packaging is absolutely horrible. I love teh product though. My skin is sensitive and acne prone and it helps it to stay pretty clear

Ditto. I love BE. It's very easy to use for overall coveage. I'm still trying to find a eye shadow I really love.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I have been using it for about two years now, and I love it. So little goes a long way and my skin looks great with it on. Its very light and I never feel like I'm wearing makeup.
It can be messy, but I've learned to keep the mess to a minimum. I also have their eyeshadows which I love.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
I love it too.
I prefer it in the summer (my skin is naturally oily though) but I have just been to lazy to re-order new liquid foundation from MAC online this winter.
I have a system of laying out 2 tissues on my bathroom counter under the containers before dipping the brushes. It helps to minimize the dust flying all over my sinks and counter in the bathroom (that drives my DH insane).
I also wanted to add that my skin is much clearer since switching to mineral makeup.

Re: anyone use Bare Escentuals?
Well after reading these reviews I ordered the started kit from Sephora last night and if you enter GETSTARTED there is free shipping! I'll let you know what I think! Thanks to the OP for posting this ?
