I have been using Bare Minerals for several months; I have ordered several different produces - foundations, eye shadows, liners, etc. It is absolutely the best makeup I have ever used. I also purchased the club membership; no issues with shipping or products. It's pretty much the only brand of makeup I use these days.

I absolutley adore Bare minerals make-up. I've even expanded into using the eye shadows and liners as well. I order all my stuff from [], they have a great selection.

I love Bare Minerals. I have been using it since May. I have bronzers and self-tanner. My friends also use it. It is a very pure cosmetic. It does not adversely effect my sensitive skin. I have never had any type of reaction, except that I love it!

I really like this product after years of debating of whether or not to try it. An [] store opened up and I had a makeover to learn how to use it. It was amazing how using these \"minerals\" (not talc) can transform your skin. It looked so good yet natural. I bought a set and have enjoyed it ever since. The first time I felt it on my skin, it was invigorating and a bit itchy. I was told if that continued to use mineral veil first. But it didn\'t last but a day or two so I didn\'t need to resort to the mineral veil first. Now, my pores are smaller, my skin has never been so clear and pretty. I actually have pretty skin! Even with the breakouts which are fewer (hormonal) my skin still looks great. I would like it to last longer but then they\'d have to add fillers or something I think maybe. I haven\'t had any trouble with the brushes whatsoever. However if I do, as an artist, I do know that I can easily clean them with something as simple as shampoo and conditioner (they are, after all, hair). My wish is that there was a better way to carry around a compact (can\'t be carrying around loose powder in a small purse). I am carrying around a pressed powder of another brand of mineral powder. It\'s not as good but it\'s for the touch ups. I just wish there was a pressed powder BE product.

Personally I absolutely love this product. My mom, younger sister and I all wear it and have been wearing it for over a year now. No make-up is perfect, and yes bare minerals does have its flaws. I find that sometimes it does not stay on as long as I would like it to but i have found that if I put the Mineral Veil on it does stay on much much longer. I love the warmth as well it does give me a nice glow, it took me quite a few tries to get it on just right, the first time i used it i was horrified because my face looked orange but i kept playing with it and now i love it! I did not buy it from the website or the phone order i went to a store. There are not many Bare Escetuals stores outside of California but there are other stores that carry the product. I have found that the product has cleared up my skin a little bit and when i put it on it feels like I'm not wearing make-up. I love love love this product and I would recommend it to anyone.

I have been using Bare Minerals for several years. I LOVE it! I only purchase from a store. There are very few stores outside of CA, but [] carries this product. I have even made a stop into the Bare Minerals store in the Atlanta airport terminal and made my cousin go with me to the only mall in the Orlando, FL area to get this makeup. She had a makeover there and was hooked just like me. You can have a trained sales clerk give you a makeover and find the correct colors for you. I exercise and sleep in this makeup with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I will never go back to heavy, pore clogging makeup.

I ordered BareMinerals because I have acne and didn't want to irritate my skin. The make-up works just fine, it covers better than other make-up foundations I've used and I love the brushes! I also love "Warmth"...just use it VERY sparingly! But, it helps even out my complexion. Also, it's fast and easy to apply. It really is cool. A few things I don't like are the price and the fact that you get automatically signed up for the club. A similar product that is less expensive, but just as good (and comes with freebies!) is Everyday Minerals, something I'm beginning to use now. So, if you like BareMinerals but you don't like the price, try Everyday Minerals! It's a great product as well!

I ordered the product in late 2005. I did NOT read directions or watch video & thought the warmth was the foundation for a long time!! I get constant compliments on my complexion & questions about makeup. I have not learned the secret to it not rubbing off. But I never remembered that claim from the informercial. One thing I have done from the beginning because my skin is acne prone w/spotting is preapply concealer or a foundation stick on spots blemishes first then blend in the Bare Minerals foundation on top. This has provided the best coverage & of course since you are using a competing product will never be a suggestion by the company. I was on the autoship although using the product daily I did not deplete my supply as quickly. I ended up with too much product which I discovered cannot be returned in the stores nor would the company take back for a refund after a certain amount of time. They will try to send you another color if you are unhappy with the current but I recommend just going through the store. The sizes are bigger & last longer plus you can test before you buy. Also, after a couple of months of usage my skin had cleared up dramatically to the point where I even could go without makeup if I so chose. You can see a picture of me with the makeup on at www.[].com. Taken 3/2006

I just purchased Bare Minerals after years of debate and I absolutely adore it. It makes a 100% difference in the look of my skin. I do not have "bad" skin, but I do have the occasional blemish. After applying all parts of the system, my face looked fresh and I most definitely looked like I was glowing. I will say that, after talking with makeup artists who use this product on their clients, far too many people out there who have purchased it apply it incorrectly. As for the woman who claims that "warmth" is nothing but brown streaks? She's not applying it correctly. And as for the stains on the clothing and bed linens? I'm going to venture to say that she applies WAY too much of the product on her skin. I had no rub-off on any type of material whatsoever. So in defense of this product which I think is absolutely fantastic: 1. Learn how to apply the product before you complain about it leaving brown streaks on your face. You're obviously using way too much and you have no clue as to how to apply it to your face. It doesn't go all over. 2. Learn how to apply the product before you complain that it stains everything you own - you don't need that much. If your skin is truly that bad, you're going to need something much heavier, honey. 3. Learn how much of the product you actually need before you start complaining about the cleanup. It's mineral powder - yes, p.o.w.d.e.r. Unless you're using the entire container of warmth and spilling it on an incredibly cheap vanity, you shouldn't have a problem.

I LOVE Bare Minerals It took me a couple days to get the look I wanted. Now People complement my skin, I feel beautiful and The price WORTH IT!. I cannot go anywhere without my bareminerals I mean I have to take my minerals bag with me. My best friend sales Mary-Kay and I am going to give her a make-over with my bareminerals because she loves the look and I am not a make up artist I love to play and have funn with my bareminerals. Thank you to Leslie for such GREAT!!! Product.

This product is fantastic. I ordered from TV first and like many others the product was lasting longer than the two month auto ship time period. I emailed and my auto ship was cancelled without any hassle. I was told I could reinstate it at any time as well. I love this stuff. My skin is in the best condition of my life and I am 46 years old.

No product is perfect, but this one is great. I like it better than the feel of liquid foundation. I have been using BE for the past three years and I have found no problems with the actual products. I have gone into the boutiques themselves, the Sephora stores that carry BE, and from []. It takes practice and patience to get used to the "swirl,tap and buff" method. For the first buff, I don't firmly press my kabuki brush on my face but rather lightly press so that I don't get one dark spot. I Then after, I use a slightly firmer touch to do the rest of my face with the foundation and mineral veil. I also use the skin re-ver upper and liquid moisturizer before I use the foundation. Having natural SPF sun protection in combination with a moisturizer with SPF has kept me from getting sunburn. I just feel it is a healthier product for one's face, since it is made of out minerals and has a natural sunscreen.

I've been using Bare Minerals for a little over a year now and I love it! However, I agree it's probubly a much better idea to buy it from a retail store rather than ordering it of the TV. The only real problem is that it is difficult to figure out which package you need for your skin tone, and the first time I got one that was WAY too dark, but at the stores they sell the little 'foundations' individually, so you can actually see what color you're getting before you spend the money on it.

I had seen this product on an infomercial and although it looked great I was skeptical. I researched this product online and found a local store that sells the product, so I bought the starter kit (about $60). At first I wasn\'t too thrilled with the product, but then I watched the DVD on how to actually APPLY the product (imagine that, reading instructions BEFORE you use the product) and then I was hooked. I\'ve been using this product for about 2 months now, and I don\'t think I\'ll ever go back to wearing a foundation again. The thing that really surprised me was the fact that it\'s a powder and yet it covers really well. And I have some acne here and there and it covers it up great! I totally recommend this product to anyone whose thinking of trying it!

The people who are complaining about Bare Minerals don't know how to apply it. I first ordered off the infomercial several years ago. I kept the product but didn't want automatic shipments so I CALLED customer service and they cancelled my 'subscription'. From what I've been reading, people have sent the product back without calling to cancel and then act surprised when their credit card is charged. Duh. I had no problem whatsoever with them. I've since purchased Bare Minerals from their website and from a retail outlet. Couldn't be happier with the stuff. I will say when I first got it, I tried it and thought it was too shiny. Then I watched the video about how to apply it and gee whiz...what do you know! It worked. Sometimes it pays to read the instructions first. I have rosacea. This covers it beautifully and yet my skin still comes through. Apply lightly!! Don't grind it in with the kabuki brush or it WILL look cakey. And if you can't find the perfect shade, mix two together. I've turned my sister in law, my neice, my 23 year old daughter and most of my co-workers on to Bare Minerals. It's great in the summer. Apply it and let it melt into your skin before deciding it 'doesn't work'. Again, a soft touch is what it takes. Buff a lot, but do it lightly. My skin texture has actually improved with use. This does not feel like powder. I HATE powder. It feels like nothing on your skin but it looks terrific. Don't be afraid to try it.

I have used Bare Minerals for about a year, and I could not be happier with the product. I get so many compliments on my skin, most people don't even think I wear make-up! I purchased the foundation from an actual store, rather than from the infomercial or on-line. There aren't many Bare Escentuals locations, but if you can find one it is definitely worth it in order to make sure you purhcase the right color. [] also sells the product and does a good job of matching, although I have found they have less selection.

My suggestion is to buy this product from a retailer like []. It is a great product, but I would be upset too if I was automatically signed up for a club. Also try [] for a little bit of a discount on this. I have found pretty much that infomercials always try to sell you a ton of other stuff. One time I called on a Jack La Lane juicer for my boss and the lady tried to sell me eight additional products! I finally hung up!

First, I love Bare Minerals, it does everything it says for me. It does claim it won't come off when you sweat, and this is true for me. I sweat often during the day (and get rained on, yay Seattle) and the makeup is in the same place when the sweat dries. So yeah, it doesn't run steaking down your face like some other foundations do. However, I'd never expect anything to last after a sweaty workout and being rubbed with a TOWEL! I'd be frightened by a product that couldn't be removed with the equivalent of a wet washcloth. Seriously now.

I am a 26 year old redhead with fair skin and freckles. I love the Fairly Light foundation, and find it blends very well. I was enrolled in the club for a few months, and I decided to cancel because I wasn't using the product as fast as they were sending it. I called the toll free number on the invoice, and cancelled my club membership very easily. The person on the phone was friendly, and the call was quick. I have recommended Bare Minerals to many friends and will continue to do so!

I have been a Bare Minerals user since 2000. I ordered my original kit from the informercial, then since then I have gone to a local store that is authorized to sell it. It works wonderfully and I sleep in all the time with no problems. I would recommend that anyone having problems applying it either go to the Bare Minerals website to find the closest authorized seller, and let them show you how to do it, you won;t regret it. I would never use any other product.
