Does BareMinerals Really Work?

I am very pale and it works great fir me. My skin is also combo and I have no prob with either areas. Highly recommend!

I have very sensitive skin, and am prone to dry patches that sometimes may even be a bit scaley.

I had high hopes for this foundation, thinking that it might look great without making anything worse.

While it did not irritate or worsen my skin in the way that liquid foundations often do, it did LOOK WORSE – which was quite irritating!

Sadly, the mineral powder accentuates dry, flakey skin by clinging to every bit of textural imperfection and making it terribly obvious.

The directions suggested using moisturizer prior to application on dry skin, but that only acted as a glue to hold powder on top of any previously unnoticed flakes — and wasn’t pretty, to say the least.

My BareMinerals were barely used – and a total waste of $$.

I am 52 and have never worn a foundation before because i have always thought it looked to noticeable and I also felt that it would create acne. My daughter purchased a foundation kit and it looked great (unnoticeable) so I tried hers. I eventually was at a mall with a bare.minerals store. They found the right tone for my skin and applied it so I could see if I liked it. Sold! I have red areas in my face and occasional pimples and small scabs which it covers almost completely yet looks so natural. I also have a ton of freckles which it tones down but does not get rid of, which I feel still keeps me looking like me. It does not create acne. I can’t say enough good things about bare minerals.

I am not a fan of heavy make up. I have olive skin and BareMinerals works for me. If feels light on my skin, covers imperfections, makes my skin look even-toned, gives no appearance that I’m wearing make up and causes no breakouts. Love it. I’ve been wearing this make up daily for the past 5 years.

I’ve been using Bare Minerals for 5 years, and I won’t waste $ on anything else! I recommend using a primer, but you don’t have to. The key is to use very little! It looks cakey if you use too much. It seems like it won’t be enough, but it is. You can always add if you need to. It lasts forever, too!

I have extremely dry skin. I can’t use this product as a powder, but it works great mixed into my moisturizer. Makes my skin look dewy. Using the foundation this way, one of the big containers lasts over 6 months. I have used this makeup for about 8 years now.

I tried the foundation powder twice. It’s very cakey and the fairest color had a yellow base. Made every pore on my face obvious. The powder settled in my very fine lines and magnified those lines even more. I applied it with a makeup brush and sponge & neither type of application helped. It’ll work as a spot concealer with moisturizer first and powdering the “spot” on top of the moisturizer.

If you have really pale skin like I do, bare minerals foundation is not for you. Their lightest tone was much too dark for my skin. nothing against the effectiveness of the product, just not for fellow light skinned ladies like me.
