Feels AND works good!

I am in love with this product! I have always hated using foundation but powders never had the coverage I needed. The first time I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals it looked terrible. But after a little practice it is by far the best foundation I have ever used. I have very blotchy skin with dark red patches and acne scars. This product gives me the flawless skin nature didn't!



I have tried several of the competitor's products that claim to be mineral foundation but none of them worked as well as the Bare Escentuals. In fact none of them worked at all for me!



Be sure to follow the Swirl Tap Buff instructions or it will not work right! I have also learned that using lotions of any kind before this product will cause clumping in that area. I use Mineral Veil before the foundation when I have recently used lotion or need extra coverage.



EDITED 6 months later - December 30 2009



I have since stopped using this product but still stand behind this review. I have battled cystic acne and acne vulgaris for 20 years or more (NOT caused or even aggravated by this product). I have some signifigant scarring as a result of this. As my skin has aged the scarring has become more noticeable. The Bare Minerals powder worked great to cover the redness of these scars. But since the surface of my face is no longer perfectly smooth due to these scars the powder actually makes them MORE noticeable. I was very sad to give this product up and I still think longingly of it while slathering on my goopy foundation.



So basically Bare Minerals is wonderful and I still highly recommend it. But if you have pits from severe acne scarring it may not be the product for you.More detail ...
