I'm not a make up person but my friend switched to it about a year ago and she really likes it. It covers up well and her skin doesn't react to it. Also it looks very light.

My mil also recently switched as well.

I know they sell like a starter kit?

I use it! We have bare minerals inside our macy's, so I had the people put some on me to see how i liked it. I started with the starter kit and LOVE it. it takes me 5 minutes in the morning, feels super light and doesn't make me break out.

I did buy the primer to put underneath it (to help it stay on longer) but have found that I only really needed that in the summer, when it melts off quicker from sweating!

I wear it and LOVE it. The girls in our boutique here are very knowledgeable about the products. I love that my skin doesn't react to it. I agree wth PhillyBaby though...if you are prone to dry skin it can call attention to it, but the primer does help keep your skin supple for application. On my really dry days though I wish I had a liquid foundation. But I think their newest Ready Go foundation is supposed to be better.

I have everything...primer, concealer, foundation, warmth and mineral veil. Daily I use the primer, foundation, warmth, and mineral veil and it does amazingly well for covering up. You just pat on a little extra. When I am going somewhere nice...need extra make-up then I use a little concealer too.

@Phillybaby2013: I have this issue too with their brushes. I asked about it in the store, and they said that it sounded like my brushes lost their natural oils which keep the brush soft. If you don't wash enough...or with the wrong products it can cause this to happen faster. She also said that with regular daily use all make up brushes need to be replaced about once every 12-18 mths. HTH!

I use it and like it well enough. My favorite make-up ever is J.Edward. But it's not sold in many stores (only in AL), and sometimes shipping takes forever. I like the convenience of running to Sephora.

I think it's a love it or hate it product.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. It left my skin looking very shiny after a few hours, and I don't have oily skin.

I've been using it since 2004 at least. I find that the coverage is good (I don't have problem skin) but I need a little extra for the dark circles under my eyes. They have a product specifically for this...I am blanking on the name, but it's worth it.

I use it & love it! There is an original version and a matte, I use the original because I get dry. It covers shockingly well! I still have regular concealor that I use from time to time when I have a bad breakout. It can settle in creases after a while which bothers me, but a primer underneath will prevent that. Just to give you an idea of how much coverage you get while still looking like skin, here's mine on DH's arm

I use it and love it, too. I will definitely agree though, with the poster that said it does you NO favors if you have super dry/flaky skin (or a dried up zit)...

I use it and I love it! However, I spot conceal with a regular concealer and use Benefit Erase Paste for under eye circles. They say you can just use the concealer brush with the Bare Minerals and that works but it didn't for me. With that said, I like that I can only conceal the spots I need to and not slather foundation on my face and it gives me more coverage and more staying power than a regular loose powder.

I use the Matte version - my skin is a little on the oilier side!

I love it, but I think the brush quality has gone down hill (and it really requires a good brush)-I bought a new brush like 2 years ago (because the handle fell off my original one) and it doesn't seem to go on as well with the new brush. I've started wearing garnier bb cream and when i need full coverage, i'll wear my bare minerals foundation...when i'm just putzing around, ill do the bb cream and bare minerals faux tan and it just makes my skin look fresh. I think the BB cream helps it stay on and not look so clumpy if you have dry or uneven skin (I've done primers with it too, and they're awesome, I actually wore bare minerals on my wedding day with laura mercier primer and it stayed on great, but the BB cream is a lot cheaper and I think more versatile)

love this, i have oily/combo skin and it works really well.

covers without looking like too much; and it's so light my skin doesn't feel suffocated.

i love it and i think that because of this + clairsonic; my skin has come eons in the last few years.

I second getting a good brush, I use the Sephora mineral foundation brush with it. I found the bare minerals brand brushed fell apart on me.

@Coco Bee: Did you try the matte version of the foundation? I am not a fan of the original, but the matte is much more oil absorbing.

I use it and really like how light and fast it is to put on. It doesn't seem to cover all my imperfections, at least I don't think. They actually just came out with a foundation I'm curious to try.

I think it depends how much cover you need. It's good for light coverage, but I don't think it looks natural when you need more coverage. Studio FX from Sephora is a great but light foundation that I use when my face is misbehaving. I also like Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizers for a medium coverage.
