Product Review: Bare Escentuals

Oily, uneven skin? Then you will love Bare Escentuals, I know I do. I purchased my first Bare Escentuals makeup back in March and started out with the bareMinerals Get Started kit in light:

The kit comes complete with everything you need (in a smaller size) to see if bareMinerals is for you. Included are two foundation colors, one warmth (bronzer), three brushes (which are worth the cost of the kit!), and the mineral veil. After using my kit for about a week, I must say I was unimpressed. I felt like the color was all wrong and I wasn’t getting enough coverage. So I trekked to my local Ulta to test out some other products in the line. I decided on a foundation color one shade lighter (Fairly Light)  than was included in the kit and some multi-tasking concealer (Bisque). MUCH better and now I am in product love! I love the coverage I get from combining the multi-tasking concealer and foundation and the color matches my skin tone perfectly. Best of all, my complexion has improved and my makeup doesn’t run off my face by the middle of the day. I also purchased the blush in Giddy Pink and just a little goes a long way.

My only complaints about the bareMinerals product line is that the foundation seems to get used up very quickly compared to my old MAC cosmetics and the powder gets EVERYWHERE. After I swirl and tap away, there is so much powder all over the bathroom counter and sink. Perhaps I am just messy? I must say I give the bareMinerals products 4/5 PinQue stars and would suggest you try it out today if you are looking for a great new product!

    so you had to go a shade lighter than normal to get a shade closer to your skin tone?

    have you tried the l’oreal brand of bare minerals make up? just wondering what your take on that is.

    No, actually I just think the guy that matched me in the BareEscentuals store did a bad job…plus they have different lighting that made it look fine in the store, but not in natural light.

    I LOVE my BareEscentuals make up! My powder seems to last quite a while – but I do use a light hand. Also like your black dress/cardi combo. Cute!
