| I have never worn foundation in my life. I despised being able to feel it on there, & I despised the effort of washing it off every night & how long it took to place on. This has solved all those problems. Applying the foundation takes maybe 30 seconds. I don't feel like I have anything on my face at all. Family was telling me how nice I looked, but when I told them I was wearing foundation they were surpised. It looked so natural. And this stuff won't hurt your skin if you leave in on at night. So no huge hassle when you're tired & want to go to bed. The starter kit is the way to go; I was going to try just the foundation & was glad I got the starter kit. It's a really excellent deal over buying the things seperately as well. |
Second times'a charm!!!!

I can surely correlated to all the 20 plus posted comments about this product both excellent and terrible . I too suffer from post acne, large pores, and oily skin. The first time I tried BareMinerals I was like a few of you, couldnt see a difference, didnt know if I was putting it on right, didnt have the right color (being that I am a woman of color) plotting it was a was of money. And you know what I threw away the first foundation jar never to buy it again, until I saw the infomerical about the product and of course, a shopping channel that will remain nameless that sells this fastidious product. So I resolute to try one more time. What made me a believer the second time around was that I made sure of a few things:
Always use "Mineral Veil" first as a primer.
Then use "Warmth" as a concealer, highlighter and any other imperfections.
Make sure you always "Buff, Tap, Swirl" everything time. It is a particular way you have to work into the skin.
And lastly to use "Mineral Veil" as a dying powder.
I will say this, I do argue with Leslie saying all you need is a small of the powder and that's that. No makeup artist worth their grain can ever make such a exact canvas for the skin just by using one product and very small of the product. Not going to happen. You may need a several "swirls, taps, buffs" to get the look, you may need to use moisturizer in the powder so your face won't dry out. You might need to custom blend several shades to get that color you always wanted. It happens.
All I am saying is that the product does work, if you are willing to work with it, unless you have a severe reaction to it by all means get your money back. I gave this product a second chance and now that Leslie has added three new shades for women of color I am glad I did!!!! |
A must buy!

This is the best thing I have ever bought. I can look excellent and natural at the same time, it is incredible.
Now, I have to be honest. When I saw this product on tv on commercials and the advertisement on the channel QVC, I didn't really all the way judge it. But at one point I got so frustrated about my makeup (I have tried nearly everything that's doable for foundation), I went right online one night and order it. It has a return promise, so what did I have to lose? And everyone has said such fantastic things about it, I just had to try it. If I didn't like it, I'd just take it back....
When I first probable it in the mail my first reaction was--"it is this small?" Really, it's smaller than I plotting, but I figured out why after I used it. I reckon this stuff will last me for years! I only have to use just a tiny bit to cover my whole entire face--it is sooo incredible.
My ancient makeup was dreadful! Let me give reasons for. I have very oily skin and acne scars, so finding the right makeup is trying. I have worn liquid makeup for quite some time now, and let me tell you it was not my solution. I place it on and two hours later it has by now melted off my face. To cover my acne scars, I first have apply concealer, but that only made my face look the more "unnatural." And since my face is oily, liquid only makes my face look shiny and greasy, plus unnatural.
When I place Bare Mineral deposits on my face, I was so shocked.
(1) It took such a tiny amount to cover my entire face
(2) It looks so natural, I don't even look like I'm wearing any makeup, yet my face looks flawless
(3) It gave me a small glow
(4) It really covered my acne scars!!! (not the pimples though)
I like it!! The price was so worth it and I will never, ever wear liquid again!
This stuff is a dream. I like that it also has sunscreen. And just the fact that I'm not putting harmful ingredients on my face makes it all so wonderful. I don't have to worry about the things of liquid makeup--tarnish causing and early wrinkles. It's safe to really sleep in this stuff!!! Wow. How natural can you get?
Bare Mineral deposits is so wonderful. It makes your skin flawless but natural. If you were like me and don't have a makeup solution, what do you have to lose to try this fantastic stuff? It's money back promise, and I'm sure you'll like it. Every female should try it! |
Truly Incredible product!

After examination excellent reviews from my sister, I recently buy a Bare Escentuals (BE) starter kit. I was excited about the possibility of such simple makeup application; but, I was VERY skeptical that I would be able to hide eye circles, scarring, and blemishes with foundation powder and a unique concealer brush. Yeah Right! I was fully convinced that if I liked the mineral makeup, I would use the foundation powder but still have to carry my trusty liquid concealer.
Imagine my surprise after the first application to find that not only was the foundation light and comfortable, but the "unique" concealer brush Really WORKED! I didn't even have to use a separate concealer color (I am very pale, so most concealers are darker than my skin tone rather than the not compulsory lighter concealer color), I just used the same foundation powder color, and my face looked truly FLAWLESS!
All I had to do was apply all my face makeup (foundation, bronzer, blush, dying powder "Mineral Veil") and use the concealer brush to dot and blend foundation powder on blemishes/circles/etc as the last step. (Some people apply concealer prior to other face makeup, but that didn't work fantastic for me. Also, I know they tell you to apply light layers and buff absolutely, but this is TRULY the trick to mineral makeup application. Plus, using just a tiny bit makes the product last a LONG time, which allows me to feel a small better about spending so much money on makeup.)
I was AMAZED at how much coverage the "powder" provided (the mineral makeup foundation is a very creamy powder, but that was a lovely surprise as well, as it provides much more coverage than a standard loose powder) while still feeling light, comfortable, and natural. I am finding that the application of mineral harvest is just getting simpler and simpler, and my skin tone has superior dramatically over the last couple weeks of using such a natural product.
The coverage is truly incredible, and at least for me, it stays place pretty much all day. I also doubted that the SPF 15 could really care for my face, especially since my pale skin burns REALLY easily. But after a day in the sun having over and done sunscreen, my shoulders were burned, but my face was burn-free. INCREDIBLE!
I realize that mineral harvest do not work as well for every person/skin-type, but I highly recommend trying mineral makeup (either BE, very well known, or Everyday Mineral deposits, who offer a free sample kit) as a more natural makeup choice with surprisingly full coverage. ABSOLUTELY Incredible!!! |
Feels AND works excellent!

I am in like with this product! I have always despised using foundation, but powders never had the coverage I needed. The first time I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Mineral deposits, it looked terrible. But after a small practice, it is by far, the best foundation I have ever used. I have very dappled 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 harvest 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 cultured 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 Mineral deposits powder worked fantastic to cover the flush of these scars. But since the go up of my face is no longer perfectly smooth due to these scars, the powder really makes them MORE noticeable. I was very sad to give this product up, and I still reckon longingly of it while slathering on my goopy foundation.
So basically, Bare Mineral deposits 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. |
