Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation Fairly Light

I really, really wanted to like this product when I bought it, but I HATED it! It made me look terrible! This is creeepy to say, but I looked like a corpse made up for a funeral. I was pasty and cakey. It made my pores look huge. It accentuated every line, blemish, and flaw I had. There was also this incredibly weird shininess. I was determined to like this stuf though and kept trying different things. After much time and much money I finally solved my problem. I was wearing the wrong color. I have extremely pale skin with a lot of redness. The fair was way too light and the fairly light and light were way too yellow. There is no way that someone as white as me should have moved up yet another shade, but out of desperation I bought the medium shade thinking I could mix it with a lighter shade. On a whim I tried the medium without mixing it and I'm thrilled to say its perfect. My face is flawless. I now love, love, love this stuff. I'm hooked! For all of you having problems with it keep trying. It's worth it!

I've been using this for years and love, love love it! It's has the best coverage of anything I have found and no one even knows that you are wearing makeup!!!

I ordered Bare Escentuals not really believing it would be much different than other foundations and concealers. Boy, was I wrong. It feels light and comfortable on my skin and doesn't look fake likes some foundations do. The result is very natural looking. And it conceals the occasional blemish surprisingly well. I'm not big with makeup because of the way most of it feels, but this one's a keeper because it's so much easier and more effective than anything I've ever tried. If you get the starter kit, be sure to watch the instruction DVD...seems kind of weird to have to watch a DVD to learn how to put makeup on, but it's helpful for learning how not to use too much inadvertently.

I higly recommend the Bare Escentuals make-up products. They go on light, are almost invisible on the face, but give excellent coverage. Just make sure you get the color that most perfectly blends with your skin and neck tones and you'll be fine.

I use BE Light foundation, and it matches my skin almost perfectly. I never look like I have a different color neck or anything, and I had a BE consultation at a local salon and spa to match my color to make sure it was the right shade for me. I use the Prime Time primer before putting on my BE....it makes a world of difference in coverage. I used just BE foundation for a year with a regular moisturizer, and it didn't look nearly as good as it does now using less powder with the Prime Time. It makes my skin feel creamy and not heavy at all. I still feel like I am hardly wearing any make-up.

Oh, and I have a tendency to get oily in the T-zone during the day from my make-up being on all day (if I wear liquid foundations)...no problem with BE make-up. Less grease on my face, less breakouts and better skin. It's so good.

Four stars because it's a tad expensive.
