[Shanneran]

okay.. so i dont exactly have rosacea.. but my cheeks are incredibly incredibly rosey.... okay... haha.. i use mac studio potted whatever concealer, tech or hyperreal foundation and pressed powder...and my skin... looks cakey + doesnt cover my redness at all... and my pores look like they have little dots of concealer over top everyone of them *i have terrible skin*... anyways... i want to try b.e. but i just dont know.. i want to get the foundation, multi task minerals (i hear it works as a concealer?) and the mineral veil.. does anyone whos tried it think it will be okay for my skin (im not OVERLY concerned about my redness... because i have a feeling its just something i have to accept and move on from) anyways.. muchos thanks in advance gorgeous'es

I think youll love it
Ive got red face syndrome and I use it and it helps, just get a yellow(er) base like light or whichever..I mix fairly light and light to get the more yellow fair undertones

this might help you out

it works on the redness on my cheeks, esp. on hyperpigmentation marks that aren't that red and are on their way to fading (hopefully! hehe)

i also mix fairly light and light, but since it's summer i only use the darker one of the two

[Shanneran]

thank you so much you guys! i already knew that i wanted to try it (im a sucker for an infomercial) haha but i just needed some sort of confirmation to justify my ordering it from the U.S. lol...i appreciate it...

I love BE mineral foundation.

[missunderstood]

I really want to try this. I only need it to even out my skintone, so what better than a foundation that is advertised as a foundation that you can sleep in? (or so I've heard)

[samtaro]

I really want to try it too, but it's so pricey

I'm a MAC NC30/35 and have been using bareMinerals since February. I would go with the Fairly Light and Light foundations. I'm currently using Light w. bronzer wherever the sun hits since it's summer cuz I got a bit darker. HTH!

Ditto. I love this stuff. I've seen it before but never really thought much of it untill I heard more about it here. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I already notice a difference in my skin. I haven't broken out since I started using it.

How is the coverage of this powder?

[lovemichelle]

I was wondering if anyone uses Bare Escentuals make-up? I see the kit on TV a lot and it's only 60 dollars at sephora and I wanna try it. I would feel weird without using a liquid foundation, but I heard good things about this line.

On thier website they just seem to tell you about them and then show you the kits you can order. How are you supposed to look at the different shades of the foundation and can't you order just the foundation?

Also i'm really confused what their foundation is called. There seems to be all sorts of names flying about, I.D, Bare Minerals, Mineral Veil..Why can't i see all their different products?!

Try Sephora.com

Hope this helps.

The Bare Minerals is what they call the foundation and Mineral Veil is a finishing product. They do have then on Sephora like Virgo said, otherwise if you live near a botique you can go there and get lots of samples

[Christi239]

Ulta also carries BE. I.D Bare Minerals is the name you'll find on all the packaging.

For everything you want to know about BE and more visit www.beaddicts.com. You'll find tons of information there.

I bought 2 different shades of the BE powder foundation light and medium beige. I wasnt sure what color is best for me so I pick the light color for winter and warm color for summer when I get dark . Can I also mix the powder foundations together or will that leave parts of my face light and dark? Well I cant wait to get my BE!

I got my boyfriend to order some for me off the net, I'm so excited to get it now, after reading this thread!

I LOVE this stuff. I have psoriasis on my face in a few places (eww) and this is the only face product I've found that doesn't irritate it and covers it pretty well. I've also had a lot less breakouts.

Plus it feels better on than any liquid foundation IMO.

[so_siqqq]

I really want to try this out and plan on buying the individual foundation. I'm a NC 20-25 in select spf 15. What shade should I get? Light? Medium Beige?

[user4]

I Wanted To Try This Too, But I Dont Know Exactly What I Need To Buy... Is That Link That She Gave Up There A Good Deal? Is That All That You Need? And How Do You Used All That???

[Jaim]

Ahh, my package finally got here, I haven't used it yet. I was surprised that the container is so teeny! I hope it lasts a fairly long time!

I think if you buy the kit the foundation container is smaller than the ones you buy individually.

[Jaim]

Really? Crap!

I'm not totaly sure. But when I went to Sephora the individual ones seemed bigger than the ones in the kit. But in the kit you get two shades so it's worth it in my opinion.
