I bought this kit in July of 2009. I has never had acne or pimples on my cheeks, chin, or forehead. I had a tendency to get blackheads on my nose and a random pimple but that was about it. I used the kit until it ran out. By the time I threw away my empty foundation and mineral veil jars I had what is called cystic acne that covered both cheeks, practically my whole face. I decided to have my skin checked out before I purchased any type of make up and learned that Bareminerals contains Bismuth Oxychloride which was causing allergic reations and acne. When I first purchased and applied I would get some itching and burning when I would perspire or when I was exposed to the sun. I wrote it off and thought it couldnt be the make up because it was all natural minerals. I was wrong, when I had my skin looked at I was told to stay away from the baremineral and it would quickly clear. It has! I've been free of bareminerals for nearly three weeks and what a difference! My skin is clearing rapidly. I would NEVER go back to bareminerals. It may be good for some but be aware of the possibilities of an allergic reation or definitly stop using it if you begin to break out.

First off, a very speedy delivery. It came neatly organized with a dvd included on how to use the bare minerals. I really like how natural this product looks on my face. It isn't ashy or oily at all. After taking the stickers off the inside of each one I realized it's best not to to preserve and save the powder. I have broke out more using this product so Im not sure if I will continue or not.

Great product, but wish that they would keep only "light" colored products in the box/package that they sell as "light". The products that they sent are great, but why would they include a "medium" foundation as part of the light skin package... Makes no sense, and gave me some product that I can't use..

I was pretty impressed. I don't usually do makeup because of a lot of grooves from acne scars. This made my skin look a lot smoother. I just turned 60 and I feel much more confident.

I finally realized that there are just some things you shouldn't skimp on, moneywise, make-up being one of them. So, I set off on a quest to find good quality make-up, trying a number of "starter kits". I have since discovered ULTA, which has make-up brands I've never heard of, many of which I have since fell in love with. This light Bare Escentuals is a good deal based on what you get versus what you pay. It creates a smooth, clean finish evening out your completion while covering any blemishes. The problem I had with the light or fair kit is that some of the colors were too dark to be used. On the bright side, you get a good education as to the kind of make-up offered by Bare Escentuals and some high quality brushes.

The Bare Escentuals mineral make-up certainly lives up to its promise. I was skeptical that I would achieve adequate coverage for age spots etc. I bought the starter kit because of the value, assuming I would use it in conjunction with my long time Mary Kay products. I was amazed not only by the feel and look of the mineral products, but, the long lasting quality! I almost never require a touch up or nose powdering during the day.
I would certainly recommend any woman giving this product line a try!

The only caution I will share...its addictive! I now own dozens of items including skin care and foundation primer!

The makeup is okay. I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like the commercials, as far as the result. But hey, I paid $60 for it, so I am going to use it until it's gone. It's true that it looks like you're not wearing any makeup at all. Most of the time that's a good thing. But w/ this product, maybe it should at least *kind of* look like you're wearing makeup. Almost no difference. Again, I paid $60 for this product, so I am going to use it all up, and not order again. I'd rather get my money back.

so I have tried and tried and tried to find the perfect shade of makeup that just looks natural... i decided to give Bare Escentuals a try as my last resort and boy am I glad I did....I am from the tropics where we have sun at really extreme temperatures daily ....so by the time you put your make up on in the morning for work...by 10 am it's off...it literally runs....with my Bare escentuals I don't have this problem...it stays put and I just look fresh....thank you for a wonderful product

I don't usually wear foundation. My skin is oily and dry so pretty much anything I put on shows up. This makeup is very light with excellent coverage! You can't tell you have it on. One problem I experience is on the sides of my nose by my nostrils and the sides of my nose by my eyes. It's dry there and you can definitely see the make up there. I don't like that part. I've tried exfoliating and extra lotion but it doesn't seem to work. I'm still very happy with the product overall however. I'd definitely recommend this. I didn't buy it from the seller, but the product is great.

Bare Minerals has been Fantastic for me! Before using Bare minerals I tried mac out, and it was absolutely horrible, it was cakey, made my skin break out, and I could not even find a perfect color for my skin.
But I packaged that M.A.C. junk back up and sent it right on back to the store, and traded it in for some Bare Minerals, and I could not be happier!

I recommend it.
