    It's all I use. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

    It's all I use too. I have oily skin and liquid makeup just melts off.

    I used it for years and loved it. Much better than the cheapy stuff I used before I found it. But then I started getting tired of the expense and thus experimented with drugstore versions of mineral makeup, and found options in a few different brands that I liked just as well. Covergirl mineral foundation, Loreal mineral concealer, and Maybelline mineral finishing powder. My motivation was that I'm a couponer and I was able to find deals that allowed me to try these products for free, and I liked them so now I still buy them. ;-)

    I love it! The knock-offs do NOT compare.

    Same! It's not cheap, but the foundation lasts me well over a month. So it's not that bad!

    Love it! Very few skin issues even when I use it every day. The only complaint I have is with the powdered eye liner/shadows. They are so fine they "drift" to your cheeks when you apply them and then you have to wash and re apply any makeup you already had put on.

    I love it, but sign up for QVC's newsletter from BE when it's going to be on, they have autoshop specials now and then that are just too good to pass up.

    I've used it a couple of times, and it works really well, especially for my sensitive skin. It makes your skin look naturally clear and luminous. :)

    I'm a cheap-*kitten* so I don't buy it.

    But on the occasions where I have used my sister's..... amazing. I have bad skin, but you wouldn't know it when I used this stuff!

    I think buying the starter kit is a good way to go.

    At the time I paid about $65 for it and it included all of the brushes (which on their own can be $25 each).

    Depending on how much coverage you need, I definitely recommend getting the concealer and the kabuki brush.

    Yep, I love it. I will say that while I do like E.L.F.'s mineral makeup as far as their blush and shimmer powder and setting powder, the foundation just is not nearly as good. So moral of the story: buy the other mineral stuff from E.L.F. because it's tons cheaper and has nicer color, but buy the foundation from Bare Minerals.

    I use the concealer, the foundation and the mascara (that's all I wear) and I really love them.

    The starter kit is a good value if you plan to use most of the items in it. But if you need single items, eBay or qvc sometimes have good deals.

    I love Bare Minerals! It helped my oily skin clear up. It is a bit pricey but I have been able to really make mine stretch since you don't really need a lot of it.

    I used to use it, and really liked it, but i needed a bit more coverage for sun spots than what it provided, so I switched to Clinique and use a liquid again, with powder over the top.

    yes! freaking best make up I ever owned. It actually helped my skin, after like a year of use whatever acne I had completely went away, my skin improved so much so than I stopped using it cause I didn't have to. I started using again like a 8mo ago cause my skin sometimes is such uneven tone, especially after workouts or after I get ready in the morning. All the other cover-ups I ever used made me break out sooooo bad, thank god my mom got me bare minerals, I will never use any other product!
