I have used Bare Minerals for several years now. I have tried several other kinds of foundation such as Bobby Brown, Mac, Dior, Rodan and Fields - to name a few. I didn't like the feeling of my face feeling heavy, or thick. Bare minerals keeps it feeling light, like I have no makeup on. I prefer having a natural look. I absolutely love it. However, if you do have dry skin - go with the BareSkin foundation rather than the powder. My only dislike on this foundation is that it comes of easy, so by the end of the day - it doesn't cover any of my imperfections.

Tips: The only tip I have is keep your face moisturized because if you have dryer skin, the bare minerals will show that.
I like this foundation. It is easy to apply and lasts well on my skin. I love the fact that it goes on so easily and that you can just apply over the top if you want some more coverage during the day. I have relatively sensitive skin and this was no problem at all. I would definitely use this again.
Love love love this mineral powder! at first i was apprehensive as i usually only used liquid but this changed my mind!! full build-able coverage and not one bit cakey!
Tips: apply with a kabuki brush and make sure your skin is moisturized beforehand
Bought this from my salon after they put it on my skin after a facial. I love how easily it buffs on and blends to your skin tone. It also doesn't dry out my skin, which I though would definitely happen with a powder foundation. You can build up the coverage but it can looks cakey, so look out for that!
This is quite expensive, but it does last a long time and is worth it compared to the other brand imitation of this.
Tips: Use the mineral veil to set and give a dewy finish.
I was bought the starter kit for a birthday present and I have never gone back to liquid foundation! Its so perfect for my skin, I have dry and oily skin, and can easily break out. If you don't like wearing heavy makeup, this is perfect for you, light but good coverage. Great product!
Tips: Make sure you really buffer it into your skin, it can end up patchy if you don't. Watch the tutorial, its very helpful.
I am on my second one of these, I think they are fantastic. I used to have quite acne prone skin and would get stress pimples etc. This foundation is a good alternative to other foundations because it's a mineral foundation. My skin is always clear and it provides good coverage when I want it. I usually use it as a powder over my concealer and foundation, however some people just use it over BB creme which seems to do well as well.
I love this foundation as an everyday foundation as it doesn't feel heavy or caked and the SPF15 helps protect my skin. The coverage on this foundation is light to medium so is more suited to daytime wear. I usually need to do one touch up throughout the day. I have oily skin so i find a powder foundation is great for absorbing oils. My skin is very pale and find it hard to find foundations light enough, so i highly recommend this to any pale girls out there!
Tips: Apply thin layers to avoid caking
I splurged on this after a friend recommended it. Loved it! It applied so nicely, and I was surprised at the coverage. The shimmer in it is not over powering, and, in fact, draws the eye away from imperfections. However, it would not be ideal for very blemished skin. Coverage was light, but buildable. Cons - not as long lasting as I'd like on my oily skin, not good as concealer.
Tips: I find the brushes that come with the starter set shed A LOT and are vaguely skin colour, so hard to remove. I'd recommend using other brushes to apply. Also use cream concealer beforehand, as it doesn't do as good a job as a concealer as it does as a foundation.
This product is easy to use and looks pretty good on. I am pretty pale and the colour is good. It is nice and light on my sensitive skin and hasn't caused any issues. There is a reasonable amount in the container and it lasts quite a while.
This foundation has a nice feel to it, it feels very natural and definitely does not cake on your skin. There is not much coverage unless you apply multiple layers which can take a long time as it is a powder and has to built up. It stays on a long time though and has a nice colour to it. It is helpful having spf in it as well. I have used this for many years and I like to wear it over a liquid foundation for extra coverage
