I just bought this a few days ago. I had been using Bare escentuals in fair/fairly light for 2 years and I loved it. One day it came to me that all that tapping and swirling stirred up the loose...

This is the best product I've tried in some time. I had no expectations about how it would work and in fact, thought it might make me look wrinkly and cakey. I've been applying either...

This is a really nice mineral foundation. I tried many, from the cheap (Revlon - full of talc) to BE and wasn't impressed at all. I like Philosophy - Easy to match colour, nice radiant effect,...

It's a miracle. I can't explain it. It effortlessly blends, buffs, covers, makes your skin look flawless. Buy it; you won't ever need foundation or powder again. Never comes off, looks greasy, or...

This is a powder that comes in a little jar with a spongy puff on top. It has a SPF of 15 (which is really the clencher for me buying it). I'd been thinking about it for a while, and I finally...

This product does not cover my redness, and it looks powdery. It's like it never blends into my skin and disappears the way BE does when I wear it. I don't like the powder puff package design, and...

Goodbye BE! A month ago, I walked into Sephora and decided to try this, even though I had used Bare Escentuals for years. On one side of my face, the "natural" made my face look almost flawless. ...
