Has any one tried Bare Essencentials Makeup?

Question

Is this make up any good? they say you can wear it to sleep. I have sensitive skin which is prone to dryness. Do they have colors for darker skinned women?

Answer 1

Didn't work so well for me after awhile. You should try Everyday Minerals, they have a lot more shades to choose from & different formulas depending on your skin type. I found the coverage to be wonderful. You can get a free m/up kit just pay S&H.

Answer 2

I have been using it for like three years. You can get it at Ulta or even a Bare Minerals store (go online to see if they have a store near you) so you can see it in person and figure out what color you need. Don't get tricked into thinking you need everything from their line, just the foundation is good enough and maybe the blush. The blush will last forever because you use so little of it. I am only on my second thing of blush in three years.

I just started using a Dermablend concealer for under my eyes and it's ok but probably not good for someone with dry skin.

Good luck with it.

P.S. You need to use a moisturizer first so that the makeup as something to "stick" to. The people that have problems with it or don't like it may not be using it right.

Answer 3

don't waste your money! they promise natural coverage and better looking skin, i used it for 6 months and never saw any difference from my normal makeup, in fact, my skin looked worse.

i had the occassional minor pimple, and the foundation would only make it stand out! even if you don't have much to cover, you'll end up looking really cakey and extremely dry.

the beginners kit costs $60, not all too affordable if you ask me.

i would really suggest checking out neutrogena's foundations and powders. they have an awesome skin-clearing concealer that works wonders, even if you don't have problem prone skin, it'll cover up any dark circles and an uneven skin tone wonderfully. they have really great foundations in every shade that won't clog your pores and awesome blushes and bronzers. seriously try it, i've only been using their products for about a month now and already have seen SUCH a difference in my skin! each product costs anywhere from $8-$11.


hope all works out well!

Answer 4

I have been a loyal user of their foundation powder for years. I only wished I found it sooner. It works very nicely at smoothing out facial tone and texture. And my skin actually appears to have gotten healthier after using it. Perhaps because of the SPF or lighter coverage compared to my makeup before.

They should have colors for darker skin. It would be foolish not to as they would be excluding a major consumer group. Try checking sephora.com.

Answer 5

It is a great product that has shades for all skin tones. buy the sample sizes first if you are unsure one of the starter kits that comes with the video and brushes. It can be tricky at first learning the techniques that you need to apply it with, but worth it in the long run in my opinion.

Answer 6

Yes, you'll LOVE it!!!
It's light, lets your skin actually breath, and the tones are amazing! Yes, they have colors perfect for darker skin tones as well!!

I'm totally hooked!!

Tried it once, never went back.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I've found it's only good for those who need light coverage. It didn't cover any of my hyperpigmentation at all.

Answer 9

I'm thinking about tryin it myself.
