Bare Minerals makeup, by Bare Escentuals, has won awards for its 100% pure mineral foundation and other makeup products, which are all free from preservatives, talc, oil and fragrance. According to the official Bare Escentuals website, their mineral foundation is “so pure you can sleep in it.” While it is not advisable to test this theory (you should always take your makeup off before you go to bed, no matter how “pure” it claims to be), many Bare Minerals reviews do give this product glowing reports.
Bare Minerals foundation reviews are full of ringing endorsements from women who have discovered this product and found that it has transformed their skin. They declare that it has given them smooth, glowing, wrinkle-free skin that looks natural, not caked in product. The makeup is praised for being easy to apply, using the Swirl, Tap, and Buff technique demonstrated in the promotional guide, on QVC and at Bare Escentuals makeup counters in department stores all over the world. If you are thinking about buying this product, you should be aware that you might need to buy two different tones of foundation in order to achieve a perfect cover on your complexion. Some of Bare Minerals makeup reviews from disappointed customers focused on this point. If you do not have the patience of the time to spend blending makeup to get your ideal tone, you may find it easier to stick to a basic liquid foundation. If you practice blending two tones of mineral foundation, however, you can get amazing results.
Reviews of Bare Minerals makeup give different viewpoints on the level of coverage from this product. Many women agree with the claims made by the company itself, that Bare Minerals makeup provides complete coverage and conceals a wide range of imperfections, such as sunspots, rosacea and acne. Other users, however, report that their skin complaints have actually worsened as a direct result of using Bare Minerals makeup. Bare Escentuals claim that the Bare Minerals range has protective and calming benefits and it is recommended by dermatologists. It seems, however, that many American women do not agree. Looking closely at the disparaging reviews and it appears that the women who complain about the effect of the product on their skin already suffer from extremely dry or sensitive skin. If you fall into this camp, therefore, you may want to stick to a liquid foundation that is not going to dry your skin out. It seems that Bare Minerals foundation can irritate sensitive skin.
Ultimately, what works for one woman may do absolutely nothing for the next. Bare Minerals reviews are mostly positive, but it is important to be aware of the negative feedback too, in order to see the full picture and making a fully informed decision. If you are still undecided, but it would like to try mineral makeup, head to your nearest department store and ask for a trial at the Bare Escentuals counter. This will let you make your own mind up about whether mineral makeup is the way forward for you.
