Is Bare Minerals worth a try?

Question

I have really sensitive skin and i need a foundation that doesn't have a bunch of crap in it you know? Is Bare Minerals worth a try? How much does it go for? You can get it at Sephora can't you?

Answer 1

LOVE IT. It's a little pricey, but worth it and the little foundation jars last a long time. It's a great natural sheer look, without irritating your skin.

Answer 2

Bare Minerals Price

Answer 3

I use Bare Minerals -- and I swear by it.

However ... I'll tell you about an alternative that I personally think is just as good and a whole lot less expensive. Go to the drug store and look at the "Physicians Formula" display. That's a product that's been around for years -- but, just within the last few months, they have started carrying a new line called their "Mineral Wear" line. It's based on the same principle as Bare Minerals. It comes in loose powder that you apply with a brush (just like Bare Minerals) -- and it also comes in a pressed-powder compact (that you also apply with a brush). Buy both of them -- because they are so inexpensive.

As I said -- I have the whole collection of Bare Minerals -- and I think it's great. But I also have the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear stuff, and I admittedly can't tell the difference. And the PF stuff is a fraction of the price.

Bottom-line -- both brands are great. I will never-never-never go back to wearing liquid and/or cream foundations again. The mineral stuff goes on so natural-looking -- even looks good in the broad daylight outdoors (which heavy liquid make-up does not). My guy tells me that my make-up never looked better.

I just started using some samples of Bare Minerals that I had forgotten about, and I just love it. You don't need much at all to get good coverage, and it feels so much lighter than the liquids I've been using. Granted it is expensive, but if you check eBay, there are a few "stores" where you can get it for much cheaper (just bought foundation, Mineral Veil, and a brush last night all for $42, which saved me $30). Good luck and I hope it works for you.

Answer 5

There's a cheaper version of Bare Minerals. It's called Physician's Formula Mineral Wear. I used Bare Minerals for awhile. I liked it, but after awhile it didn't look good on my skin anymore. I went in search of a new foundation that wouldn't irritate my skin and I found Physician's Formula. You can buy their products at any local store.

Answer 6

yes, bare minerals is definatly worth it. the whole package on TV usually goes for about $70-$80, and that includes 2 foundations, warmth, and the mineral veil. you can get it at Sephora, but its aloy cheaper 2 get it online or from the TV. i use bare minerals and it works just like they say it does. it covers everything you want it 2, and its all natural.


i think they are having a sale rite now though for the whole package for only $60!

Answer 7

I've used Bare Minerals for a few months now, and I do love it. The only problem I have with it is the price, for example one tiny pot of powder foundation is $30, and sets can run from $60+. I also use covergirl True Blend (http://covergirl.com/cgcollection/face/foundation/mini_trublend/trublend.jhtml) which I love, but if you don't slightly powder over it, it can be a bit shiny. QVC also carries bare minerals (http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?nest=/searchapp/qvcsearch.aspx?TYPE=classlinks!TERM=bare+minerals!CLASSCODE=!CLASSLEVEL=!ITEMDATA=&qic=y) but the pricing isn't much different.

Answer 8

It looks totally natural, but isn't good for oily skin. Too much shine. If your skin isn't oily, I would suggest you try it. It lasts forever. You can get it from QVC or Sephora. A kit is a better value. There are a range of prices. Make sure you get a brush so it goes on right.

Answer 9

OH YEAH!!!! it works so well. you can get a starter kit at sephora for $60 about. it might sound expensive but its totally worth it. and if you don't feel like taking off your makeup, you can sleep in it, and it won't hurt your skin! it actually improves the health of your skin. (they say it on the infomercials and its true!)

Answer 10

I used it and bought the entire kit!!! Boy am i sorry now. It says you only have to use a little bit of it.....nonsense!!! They will also keep mailing it to you even if u cancel they will claim they never got your cancellation.. I honesty don't care for it and even let friends try it and they all AGREE !!!
