I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE BARE MINERALS FOUNDATION, MINERAL VEIL AND FACE COLOR (WARMTH). I RECEIVED AN UPDATED BOOK TO FIND I AM OUTDATED. BARE ESSENTIALS NOW HAS THE FOLLOWING: A NEW NATURAL AND LIFTING AFFECT FOR YOUR FACE, 12 BARE MINERAL FOUNDATIONS, 2 MINERAL VEIL COLORS, 3 BISQUE COLORS, 3 FACE COLORS, 3 RADIANCE COLORS, 8 SOFT FOCUS EYE AND CHEEK COLORS (NOT BLUSH), 23 BLUSH COLORS, 28 EYE COLORS, 30 GLIMMMER EYE ACCENTS, 21 GLIMPSES OF EYE SHIMMER COLORS (NOT RELATED TO GLIMMER), 2 SHIMMERY METALLICS UNDER AND OVER EYES, 28 EYELINER COLORS (MUST USE A LINER SEALER TO KEEP ON), AND 28 BRUSHES TO APPLY THESE PRODUCTS EXCEPT FOR LIP COLOR. I DIDN’T BOTHER TO LIST THE LIP COLORS. WHEN ASKED THE ORDER TO APPLY FOR BEST RESULTS, THE ANSWER WAS, SKIN REV-ER UPPER, FOUNDATION AND MINERAL VEIL AFTER THAT ANY THING YOU LIKE IN ANY ORDER. WHEN ASKED WHICH FOUNDATION COLOR WAS BEST FOR A CERTAIN SKIN COLOR THE ANSWER WAS PLAY AROUND AND TRY A FEW, I HAVE USED FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS WAS THE REPLY. WELL I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR ANYONE WHO CANNOT ANSWER SOME BASIC QUESTIONS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT. I ALSO FIND THE LIQUID MAKEUP DEMO TO BE A LITTLE (ACTUALLY A LOT)MISLEADING. SHE PUTS ALMOST HALF A BOTTLE ON HER HAND AND TRIES TO SAY THAT IS WHAT IS ON YOUR FACE. WHO USES THAT MUCH LIQUID ON THEIR FACE. AT LEAST BE HONEST. I HAVE FOUND A VERY NICE MINERAL MAKEUP AND TOGETHER WITH MY LIQUID (YES, I WENT BACK TO MY LIQUID), THEY WORK GREAT TOGETHER. I DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR THE MONEY TO PLAY AROUND AND I AM SURE BY THE TIME BARE ESSENTIALS IS DONE THERE WILL BE OVER 30 FOUNDATIONS AND OVER 60 BLUSHES, SHADOWS, LINER, AND MINERALS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FACE SHINE, GLOW, GLIMMER ETC.ETC,ETC
I really do not like bare minerals. It just seems like too many steps and too much trouble. I find other make up like the clinique almost makeup foundation, powder plus blush so much more easy. I just do not like the line.
I DO NOT reccommend this product to anyone with pores. this stuffed caked up so bad that i am appalled. i consider this product to be the worst $20 ever spent. infomercial garbage. what is sephora thinking?
The shipping was slow and expensive for my taste. It came 2 weeks later in a small envelope. I’ll probably go with another vendor next time.
Yesterday I tossed all my Bare Escentuals products – mineral veils, blushes, eyeshadows – probably hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. I am sick of the mess. Too much product gets on top of the filter if you don’t keep these pots upright and its impossible to shake it back down. Most of my eye shadows and brow products don’t even have filters. It is way too easy to spill and I have a huge brown stain on the carpet under my dressing table to prove it. I switched to Laura Geller’s baked products Laura Geller Baked Basics ($63 Value). I get a much more controlled application and her brushes are much better.
