If so how did it work for you?

I have been using Bare Escentuals (Bare Minerals) for about 9 months. I really like how it feels (like nothing!) and how it looks. My skin looks smooth and healthy. I don't like how easy it is to spill some powder when you are putting a little into the lid to apply. It is easy and fast to apply. It probably takes me about 3 minutes to put my makeup on and it doesn't need retouching during the day.
Also, be very careful to use very tiny amounts and to tap excess powder off the brush like they tell you to. Otherwise you will find the foundation looks cakey or the colors look too strong.

I use Cose, which is a similar mineral foundation. I love it!!! I can actually sleep in it and not break out. And it's completely weightless.
I plan to try Bare Minerals when I run out of what I have.
You've probably seen the special deal on TV, but if you haven't:

I love this stuff. I am one of the ones who washes her face then reapplies bare minerals back on, then I go to bed. (I have just started to do this). I have found that if I don't wear this stuff, I break out with more zits, but when I put it back on, they leave. I ordered mine from QVC and when you start out you get the brush with the foundation, also get the multi-tasking bisque for any breakouts, under eye darkness, then finish with mineral veil, this gets rid of the shine. It takes me about 5 minutes to put on and then I am out the door.
I would never ever go back to any liquid foundation again. That stuff has additives in it to keep it fresh, and that stuff just clogs your pores. It is a bit pricey, but I started using it in December of last year, and I have not ran out yet, it doesn't take much to get good coverage.

My Mom uses it and she really likes it. Her skin is sensitive, and she's had no breakout issues from bare minerals, and she says the coverage is good.

I have been using it for about 6 months and i love it. It the first makeup that hasn't made me break out. I also like it because it has something called warmth and it gives you like a sun glow. Also when you put it on you still have your natural shine.

Sorry but I must not be the norm here. I tried it and did not like it on me. It does not cover much. I use stage make-up sparingly and always gets compliments.
