Personally, I have not, but I have a friend who absolutely swears by Bare Essencuals. Her skin always looks flawless and natural. When she first started using the product, I noticed a definite glow.

ya my friend uses that stuff like crazy and loves it but she, like me, can't keep up with the prices. If your looking for something affordable try the Physicians Formula, or Prestige. They're still expensive but i love them both.

I'm using this product...it works wonders. It gives me a glow, it doesnt cause breakouts, it feels like im not wearing any make up at all and it is easy to apply on your face it also has SPF in it which is great. I think its worth the price, its the best foundation I ever used and will be my last. No more searching for that right foundation any more because I found it already and thats BE. You should def. give it a try.

I agree. I actually use the Physician's Formula finishing powder in the winter and the bronzer powder (which I love) in the summer.

I use bare minerals...i agree you glow and look naturally fabulous great coverage they cost alot but you use so little...
Downside though...they do not stay on in the water like a long wear liquid...but nothing is perfect... 4!%, Ahcdapp`` ,!.,

I checked out both the BE website & sephora.com. Other than the foundation, do you use any other BE products? How is the lip & eye make-up? Has anyone tried that warmth stuff?

I use many of their products and they are wonderful! Their foundation is the best I've ever used, and I've tried all of the best brands: Chanel, Dior, Laura Mercier, etc., and this one makes theirs look like a drug store brand. Their blushes & eyeshadows are great too. Also, re: their product called "Warmth", this is great when used as a bronzer. I highly recommend these products to everyone!

Well, I've been using BE for a few days now. I really like the coverage and how the products feel on my skin. I use the foundation, the warmth, and the mineral veil. I'm using very little of each product. My one complaint is that BE makes my forehead and nose appear greasy. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've seen the commercials and I would like to try it but for that price I have to be sure I would continue using the product. I am light skinned. Are there any light skinned African americans willing to share their thoughts of BE after using it. $- P cn`dp0% 00BB .(4`p /.%%%, % ,)!,$-4b` #.

It is a great product. It creates a sheer finish that covers blemishes, age marks, etc. The good news is - your freckles and youthful shine can show through! It is light as a feather, and stays on all day. You don't need to purchase a whole kit - just find a shop that will do a demo for you and make wise choices regarding colors, etc. You can find it on ebay at a great discount!!,, Cheb

Has anyone found the Bare Essentials to have a very fair color?
i'm a redhead and pale white all year long.
do you think its worth the money to try it?
what is the cost for the foundation?

You don't have to spend any money to try it. Simply find a salon or makeup store that will gladly give you a free lesson and demonstration. Then, you can make an educated decision!!,, Cheb

I have darker skin and really want to use a mineral makeup so I ordered a sample of ada foundations, it's mineral foundation for darker skin tones. I hope it works like BE. I will update when I get my sample. !$% Aa ` `ep` %), @b /8 `` 2)$%,

Hey...try blotting sheets for those areas once or twice daily...they work great & take oil away from those areas instead of just covering it up...once you blot, use your mineral veil there again...I bought like $250 dollars worth of BE when I first started, face, eyes, brushes, mascara everything...I wouldn't do it again...I use the bisque/summer bisque, foundation, warmth,all the brushes & a shadow called coffee bean over my liquid liner (to smudge) I wan't crazy about their mascara...Anyway, for future reference you may want to try QVC.com for good prices or watch when they have the specials...their prices are better than the regular stores...I haven't tried ebay...but check out QVC!

Hi cole...I'm a fair-skinned strawberry blonde, close enough?  I am using fairly light for the summer and I will likely use fair for the winter (I'm a new BE customer). I hope this helps. The Sephora website shows all of the BE foundations, might help if you take a look. Go to sephora.com

I think for anyone who doesnt have oily skin it's great. My sister uses it all the time.I cant cuz my face is oily and it just slides right off my face! Plus the shimmer in it is really a pain when you already have shine. I wish I had drier skin so i could use it.

Well,I go through like, 10 oil absorbing sheets a day. It just does not stay on my face at all. Exspecially in summer,it's like,why did I even bother? Maybe your face isnt as oily as mine.I think I have hormonal imbalance or something,it's like,abnormally oily. I also find the bare make-up is just to darn shimmery! But I use acne medicine (differin gel) which makes my face kinda shiney already,so I just do not need that extra shininess.
I dont think everyone else has MY issues,so for normal people it's probably fine.

I have used only colorstay for years...everytime I switch my face breaks out. My skin apparently is not just oily,but very sensitive too (not a good combination!)
Does Elizabeth Arden make any kind of matte make-up for oily skin?

Yes Elizabeth Arden does make matte make up, for oily skin, and their products are very good.

Sephore voted BE foundation the best foundation of '06. They also voted BE's mineral veil the best powder. 
That reminds me-I'm low on mineral veil...time to shop!

I have heard talc is bad for acne. Is that true about cornstarch babycheeks?

BE is def not my fav mineral product, they contain Bismuth which is itchy and cornstarch which is not good for acne, if u want a mineral product to help with acne look for minerals that contain lots of zinc. I like J.lynne cosmetics and monave as well as everyday minerals there are a few others id recommend over BE, now that i have tried almost all of them i really can tell which mineral line one is better than the other. BE is really a rave simply due to infomercials and people really dont know there are other minerals out there nor are the others on the market. a bit sad lol. babycheeks242006-10-01 19:07:46 ! ) @aeja

I still have to check out everyday minerals! So weird....I prefer pressed powder that contains cornstarch. I find that it absorbs the oil best. I used to use a product called cornsilk, in fact. The zinc thing makes sense-it protects the skin from the sun and I have heard that when one takes zinc supplements it actually helps decrease oil production.!,, S Anap Bd !!

Maybe I am being sensitive, but this comment bothers me. While I appreciate you offering advice on other products, you really don't have to knock people who like and/or believe in a product.

It's good to know there is something besides talc and cornstarch. I have to be very careful what I use on my acne prone skin,and when I used BE it seemed to make it worse. Thanks for the info!

you should try monaves liquid matte foundation if you like liquid foundation more, YOU WILL HAVE no oil and great staying power!!!! Also try the green clay soap kills acne quick i had a few pimples around my period used some of the soap it was gone in three days!!!
good luck. ! ) @aeja
