I've been using this foundation for 6 months now and I cannot tell you how much my skin has improved. Having an oily t-zone (especially on my chin), I'm prone to breakouts and painful spots. I had acne scars which were unsightly. Since using this I have never looked back. My skin has improved so much, I don't get half as many spots now (still get the odd one or two.) My scars have healed really well and this doesn't clog my pores. This product is beautiful. I've tried quite a few mineral foundations and trust me, this is by far the best one out there. It's soft, delicate, light, so easily and incredibly blendable it's untrue and leaves your face with a gorgeous glow once applied. It feels like your skin is naked and you have nothing on your face it's that light. Under eye circles which are dark are covered! It's fab!

The only thing I would say, is that if you have oily skin, like me, then it can look a bit patchy towards the end of the day where you get oily. I strongly advise you purchase the Mineral Veil (also by Bare Escentuals,)as it's a finishing powder and sets the foundation perfectly. That is also super soft and feathery light. The same applies if you use any other foundation, mineral or not. Not putting a setting powder over the top is kind of a disaster!

I have tried using one of the new, quite expensive liquid foundations off the high street, just out of curiosity as I hadn't used any for so long, and as soon as I put the greasy, heavy, smelly stuff on my face I was like "oh no, there's just no way!" So straight off it came and back onto it went my beautiful bare minerals!

Trust me, try this product. If you're a converted green goddess like me this is a desert island product which I cannot live without!

Have been prone to eczema all my life and could never find an appropiate foundation!! Someone recommended the Bare Escentuals make up range so i gave it ago. So glad i tryed this foundation as i have bought it ever since i found it! You can choose how much coverage you want i.e lighter during the day and then you can build it up at night. Doesn't leave my skin dry even though i have on/off eczema and it last for ages for such a smallish pot!! Like someone said it another review you might have to get the "knack" of using the brush etc but once you get the hang of it, it's easy!

My skin isn't great and I was fed up of having to use thick foundations which hide the blemishes but also hide my freckles (which I like!) and my natural glow. That problem has been solved with this! You need to get the colour right otherwise it looks awful and it does take a while to get the technique but once you've mastered that you'll have great results! You can build the colour up so you can hide freckles etc if you want but it never looks like you're wearing foundation and it's pretty much impossible to get tide marks etc. I have to say that I didn't like the matching brush, I found it left brisles everywhere and scratched my skin so I would use a different powder/blusher brush. I would also suggest leaving the sticker over the holes and poking a couple of smaller holes in to avoid pouring too much powder out. If you want to carry it in your bag simply cut a make up sponge to fit in the tub between the holes and the lid without moving. This will stop the powder spilling out.

I have suffered from terrible terrible skin since my early teenage years. I have tried every acne treatment and anti oil solution going until i found bareminerals. I cannot state how amazed i am and how great this is. I now have 'normal' skin like others and can go out without makeup and not flintch. i don't normally write reviews but for anyone with issues about thier skin i can highly recommend you try bareminerals makeup.
