After hearing a lot of great reviews about the product, I thought I'd give it a try. The brushes were okay, a bit rough on my skin but I think it's good for beginners who are just starting off. It...

For me, Bare Escentuals is not the perfect product that I know I am going to use forever, however I have used it for about 8 months. Over that time, I've gotten a couple compliments specifically on...

I really like this starter kit. I've been using BE for 2.5 years and I've probably bought this kit at least 4 times. I use the Fairly Light in the winter and spring months when I'm pasty and the...

I bought the starter kit after a friend recommended it to me and her skin looked beautiful. I have to say that I have not been disappointed. You can build up the amount that you want to wear, so...

I LOVE IT! Such a great start up kit! Good value! Love the brushes and the powder foundations! The blush and the primer are great too! I will repurchase the powder foundation and primer for sure!...

I don't not like this kit, I think I was just seriously underwhelmed. First off it's $60 which I don't think is bad for what you get. It comes with a primer, two foundations (a lighter and darker...

This was my first serious makeup purchase outside of the drugstore when I bought it about a year ago. I was under the impression that minerals would be awesome for my skin and there was no way I'd...

I am a fairly light and I love this starter kit because I also get all the brushes I need. First I put on the primer then I use the concealer brush to cover up acne, then the kabuki brush to swirl...

The Get Started Kits for Bare Escentuals are frustrating. You get 2 foundations, however only one (if you're lucky) will work well for your skin color. Light came off as yellow and just horribly...

I agree with most of the reviews that this stuff is pretty crappy. I used it a few years ago and just pickec up another kit hoping to get back to it since it's cheaper than my La Pairie powder. The...

I decided to buy this kit after a SA put it on me in the store. This was a mistake. I have combination skin, so I'm really oily down the T-zone and have huge pores on my nose. The blush (light)...

This is by far the worst foundation I have ever owned. The colors do not match my skintone (regardless of what the overdone sales people told me) and you cannot "choose your coverage level" any...
