Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup

Bare Escentuals has been creating makeup products since 1976 and started in San Francisco, Ca. I was shocked to hear that, especially since the President Leslie Blodgett looks so young. So could it be the minerals that are keeping her youth?

Well I’m not so certain but who knows…maybe? So what do I think of Bare Escentuals? Not for everyday. The reason I say that is because when time is of the essence it just doesn’t work out and half the time I end up spilling the powder all over my counter tops and have to spend more time wiping it up. Though, I’ve heard that spilling is an issue with a few brands out there. It’s also not ideal for travel because of the same reason.

I also felt a slight tingling in my face after I applied it and I thought it was just hot and sticky that day but tried it again and felt the same thing. So after looking up Bare Escentuals on makeupalley and reading posts regarding the itchiness I thought, no wonder! As far as coverage goes, well it’s pretty good, and it really does feel like I have nothing on. But I’ll save it for when I have plenty of time to apply which is very rare.

I’ve also heard the color range is very limited and not everyone can find a shade that’s right for them. I was fortunate because the Medium Beige was perfect for me!

With all of this said I still don’t think I’ll get rid of any of the Bare Escentuals makeup that I currently own but I’ll definitely have fun trying other brands.

See, I told you I’d review one that I’ve tried myself. 🙂
