    I used to really like this foundation when I was in my teens and I just wanted something that was full coverage and easy to apply. I've recently revisited it in my 30s and I'm not a fan anymore. I...

    When I was younger I wore this as an all over foundation. However, now I wear it differently. I have been wearing it as a concealer for about 4 years now and I really like it. For some reason,...

    Yay, so glad I came back to this foundation. I remember trying this out way back in 2007ish, and I liked it a lot then, but I was young and flighty and bounced to the next product when the...

    I don't know why I waited so long to try this. Actually yes I do, it's on an infomercial, which is cheesy. And it's all hype about the "natural" "chemical free" nonsense. I never bought into that...

    This foundation looks great, evening out the complexion without looking like makeup. Best when applied over a primer, it has a luminous finish and has an SPF of 15. Powder foundations are...

    Nope, nope, noperson. This formula, the matte formula, and every other foundation by Bare Escentuals is harsh and irritating to my skin. I have oily, acne-prone (cystic), and very sensitive skin...

    I've had an ok experience with this foundation. It's slightly dewy/shimmery but I didn't find that a major problem, I don't mind a bit of a dewy finish and I don't think it's over the top. The...

    I am NC20 and use Fairly Light. I can get away with Fair in winter, combined with blush. Fantastic stuff, as is the matte version. I use this when l want a more glowy look than the matte, or it's...
