Honestly I do not know how you could make this product work without getting it put on professionally first in the store.
I picked up my set from a Bare Minerals location and I love it. No matter what the DVD says, to have someone actually put it on you is way different.
I love it. It's worked very well for me. If your skin gets dry add a layer of Prime Time before everything.
I can see how it would be problematic, and my friend could not find a color to match her skin, but if you have the right color, the stuff is magical.

BareMinerals works for me my mom, my sis and my sis.in.law. I do not over apply. And I realize it takes a few minutes to work into my skin. Just realize no two peoples skin are exactly alike. What works for some doesn't work for others. I have slightly oily skin so that may be the reason it works well for me as it takes away the shine and leaves a flawless look. I think some people put too much on. As some first timers do. Use sparingly and use the small brush to apply on spots and blemishes first. Then use all over color..sparingly. I use Mineral veil under the eyes and have diminished lines and dark circles.

When I was in college and I saw the commercial for it, all my friends were asking other friends to see if it really worked. The product is on the expensive side, especially on a college budget. So after college, I finally bought my first Bare Mineral starter kit at []. My skin isn't perfect, I have flaws, and imperfections. When I used bare minerals the results were not flawless how it is in the informercials, but it does cover evenly and well. When I used regular make-up foundation, it does cover alot of my flaws, but it lacked the even tone that Bare Mineral gives. The makeup feels light, natural, and it lasts pretty long for me. It doesn't rubb off on my husband like my old concelors would. I would reccommend this to friends who can afford to shell out the extra cash for it. It does make my skin look healthier. I think different people do have different reaction to the product, but over all my expereience has been great.

I've always had oily skin, & normal make-up would always get gummy, or slide off.
A friend recommended Bare Minerals, because I'm in my mid 40's & my skin is changing. It doesn't know if it wants to be dry, or dump oil. Instead of the moisturizer they recommend, I use my own.
So far, it's the only make-up that I can wear that doesn't feel nasty by the end of the day, & if I use it regularly, I don't have acne, as bad as I do without wearing make-up.

I love this product!!! I have been using makeup forever and it always took too long.
I saw this stuff on tv and got it at []. I bought the starter kit. I fell in love with it right away. My skin cleared up, and looks so good that I have patients in the hospital constantly trying to touch my face (I work in a hospital).
On the other hand, my best friend isn't a fan. She has really bad skin she has to laser, and the product doesn't work for her. Its not going to be for everyone, but if you can use it, I totally recommend it because now I won't use anything else.

I love Bare Minerals! I've only been using it for two days, but I wish so much that I had tried it years earlier.
I had seen it on infomercials for many years and then on one of the shopping channels - but I thought it looked too good to be true.
I noticed that they had a store in my mall (Annapolis, MD) when I was there with my husband recently and knew I had to finally try it.
Since shopping for makeup with hubby in tow would be a pain, I decided to go back another day. I finally went yesterday and have been thrilled ever since!
I am 46 and although I don't really have any deep lines, I do have issues with combination skin (dry with an oily T-zone) as well as Rosacea.
I've never found a foundation that I really liked until Bare Minerals. Liquids were messy, creams were hard to blend. Any kind of powdered makeup just highlighted my flakiness.
So far, I've only gotten the starter kit and some Bisque to cover the most red spots on my cheeks and the dark circles under my eyes. I've had the dark circles for years and years - whether I am sleep deprived or not. This is the first thing that's really helped without looking like I spent too much time in the sun with sunglasses on. Oh - they also added a free lipstick that I love the color of (although I did use a gloss over it). I also wanted a blush, but couldn't decide, so they put a little (free) sample of two different shades in mini containers to try out. It looks like enough to last for quite a few applications.
I am so happy with this makeup. I plan to go back soon and see if they can teach me the right way to make up my eyes. I've always had trouble with that.
The only regrets I have about Bare Minerals is that I waited so long to try it. I could have had this look years ago!

Ok, first off I want to say I have very bad skin. Very uneven and acne bad. I'm in my late 20's and have been using BM for years now. I have tried all the other mineral makeups and the typical drugstore ones too. BM is the only one that gives me perfect coverage and hides all my acne. It is heavier than the other mineral makeups but I need a thicker makeup to hide my flaws. I love it and will never change!

I wouldn't order through a club for Bare Minerals because I don't do it for anything else. I buy it through [] or [] and get it when I need it.
But, it's the only make-up I use. I am 47 years old and wish this was avail when I was in my 20's. It's wonderful. Simply beautiful.

This product is AWESOME!!! I will never use anything else. Everything they claim on the commercial was true for me and I really don't know what the problem is. I have REALLY dark circle and they cover them up very well. I am 42 yrs old and the finish of the make up makes my skin look and feel younger. Before you use the makeup you might need to watch the video tho, because if you don't swirl and tap you could get too much of it on and maybe that's why some people don't like it.

I love Bare Minerals make-up and I have skin that is dry and sensitive. The colors look so natural on me and liquid foundation always looked so awful and caked on so I had to write in its defense from my perspective. I will add too that no matter what type of make-up I wear that when I sweat I feel a slight burning sensation, not just with this product. Also, I haven't bought her make-up from the TV commercials but instead use a very popular home shopping company where I am able to buy pieces I particularly like or want in the colors that I like.

I’ve read through several of the complaints and saw many comments about the brushes. I get the impression a lot of these less than satisfied users are sticking with the Kabuki (sp?) brush that comes with the starter kit. I personally do not like this brush because it’s very large yet doesn’t offer much coverage. A couple of years ago, I switched to the [] Brush which has a different construction, which provides better coverages. I know the brushes can be pricy, but I’ve found I get better results by seeking out individual brushes suited to each task: Flawless Face for Mineral Veil, Feather Light for blushes & allover face colors, etc. And the bushes will definitely soften as they are washed. Also, for those with breakouts, I’ve just started using the new [] blemish treatment and am amazed. The first day I put it on, I had an immediate reduction in redness around my blemishes and after two days, my blemishes are noticeably smaller. It also helps reduce the size of your pores!

I started using BE 4 years ago at the insistence of four of my relatives who swore it wouldn’t break me out like traditional liquid make-up. They were 100% right! I still get some acne here and there, but I find it mostly pops up after a weekend when I didn’t wear BE. I, too, had coverage complaints at first, but I realize now that it had everything to do with the amount I was using; I was just scared to use too much. It does take some practice to find the right middle ground, but now I love it. Bisque coves blemishes, Well Rested hides my under-eye circles, and the foundation hides my all-over redness. I try to watch Leslie, the creator, when she’s on [] because I learn new application tricks every time. It’s essential, no pun intended that you apply a moisturizer before using the foundation for the product to look right. Without it, you will have chalkiness. I ordered my first kit on TV, and it was a mistake. They don’t sell my color, Fair, the lightest available, in the starter kits so my initial colors didn’t work for me. However, the girls at my local boutique are great and helped me find the right one. I adore everything about this line from the foundation to the eye & cheek colors to the brushes, mine have NEVER shed to the eye make-up removers to the lip glosses. Buxom Lips & Lip Shields are always in my bag.

I absolutely love this product. It is the first foundation I have ever used that ddn't feel thick and did not irritate my skin or clog my pores. I used to use department store quality foundations. I have roseacea, mildly, and get monthly mild breakouts. Used properly this product is not cakey. It is not cakey unless you apply it to thickly. Those who say it offers no coverage aren't applying enough. I do apply a little more than they show. To cover blemishes you do need to use a different brush, but they include that detail brush with the kits.
Since using this product my roseacea has decreased significaly and I rarely need to use the topical gel product prescribed by my physician. My breakouts are also less severe, and I get compliments on my beautful skin. I don't have beautiful skin at all! I have visible pores and roseacea, but the bare minerals product makes my skin look almost perfect.
I've been using this product way before they started the infomercials, so I dont buy from them, I buy from BM stores as I always have. The only thing I have even close to a complaint is that I noticed a slight decrease in the quality of the brushes when I purchased from a tv shopping show rather than the national makeup store.

I love bare minerals. The first time I used bare minerals was June of 2007 on a trip to Atlanta,GA. My sister in law asked me if i would like to try it. I have very sensative skin and am very leary of new products. I had tried another mineral make up and I got a rash and blisters on my eyelids. It took days for it to go away. So, when I tried bare minerals you can imagine my suprise when no rashes or blisters appeared. I would deffinately recommend bare minerals to any one.

I love Bare Minerals!! I have ordered 24 times from one place and 3 from another, I love the new colors and the fact that you always are being sent new brushes good ones at that also I have been reading all of the complaints about sweating, well we are all human and let me say; all of the make-up you can buy in the world its going to get all over your phone,clothes and other things. The only difference is that bare minerals contains no added oils and therefore does not stain your phone,clothes,etc. I have been a devout customer of bare minerals since 4/30/05 on my husbands bithday i placed my first order, and what a nice present, he loves how my skin looks and feels healthier. I have even gotten my friends hooked on bare minerals. My sister in law has very sensitive skin and she will not wear anything else now.

I have been using Bare Minerals for 2 years now and have never had a bad thing to tell anyone about this product! I didnt buy it over the phone, because I dont normally ever buy anything over the phone. About a month after using the minerals, my husband and I were shopping in the mall and he looked at me and this look came over his face and he said, "that new makeup looks great on you!!" First time he's ever complimented me on my makeup. I used to use liquid foundation, yuck, and will never go back to anything that disgusting again. I love Bare Minerals!!

My sister and I have been using Bare Minerals for four years and have loved it to smitherines! If you apply to makeup like instructed on the infomercial then it works wonderfully. I am in my mid-twenties and still have some problems with acne which Bare Minerals completely conceals. My sister is in her mid-thirties and has some fine wrinkles which Bare Minerals hide perfectly. And it FEELS wonderful. Like you're not wearing anything at all. We are both makeup and beauty buffs and cannot imagine wearing anything else again.

I've been using BE for about 5 years and have had very good results. My skin is blotchy and I have broken capillaries on my cheeks. I use the bisque concealer on these areas first (the concealer brush is a must for this), then the foundation. I apply it with a light buffing motion. Then blush, then a dusting of mineral veil. I rarely have to touch up during the day; if it's a hot day and my face gets a little oily I just brush on a little mineral veil and it's good as new. My skin is definitely healthier since I started using these products. I buy the products online, not through the BE store.

I have been using Bare Minerals for 5 years and I love it. I have struggled with acne my whole life and it has improved since I started using Bare Minerals. I think it provides awesome coverage. My face looks covered, but not caked or fake. The colors blend beautifully together and you can mix and match to find the right shade. I will never go back to a liquid foundation, I am complete happy with this product!

I have used Bare Minerals for several years without a problem. I have purchased it from QVC and will continue to use it. Does it make my skin smooth as a baby's butt? Heck no, but it does make my skin look healthier. I never wore foundation until I purchased Bare Minerals. It took me a few times to figure out how to properly buff it into my face. I have no complaints!
