This is a really nice starter kit! I use the brushes daily and they are wonderful. My one complaint is that the powder/foundation makes my skin really itch when it's warm outside. I live in Texas... so it's constantly warm even on some winter days. I don't know if this is common but I got the primer and it prevents most of the irritation. I'm not allergic to it that I know of. I love the way it makes my skin look and how well it hide blemishes.

Bare Minerals makeup can be expensive, however you get what you pay for, and the product lasts a long time (a little goes a long way)!!! I have to be careful with what I put on my skin because not only is it sensitive, but also acne-prone. This makeup has a very light and natural feel to it, no caked-on sensations. Also, the Bare Mineral foundation powder doesn't accentuate and get down in your pores, like some liquid foundations do. I'm not sure how great it would be for someone who needs extra coverage though...like I said, it's very light!

I love this product. It covers my face well and does not cause any breakouts. My only complaint is that I use it up too quickly.

Pros: provides good coverage...comes in several shades so achieving a color match is fairly easy...Note: appears a bit chalky at first but give it 10-15 minutes for facial oil or moisturizer to blend with product and then it will look more natural. Cons: you can get good coverage with any number of other mineral foundation products and pay far less. BE prices haven't adjusted to the influx of mineral products available on the market so I can't justify choosing their product.

This powder and minerals are nice and does not clump.

I really love Bare Minerals. I have used this product off and on for several years and my only complaint is the price. It seems like now there are so many other products that are similar and a much better value.

This is a great kit to start with if you're new to the brand. It's convenient since it contains all you need including instructions and even the brushes for application. It layers nicely without being heavy and I really love that I can use my favorite moisturizer underneath, instead of using a cream or liquid foundation.

The foundation creates a nice natural yet flawless finish but, and this is a big but...it does not stay on very long. A primer only helps a little bit, be prepared to constantly touch-up your face...but at least it does not look cakey when you do so. The Mineral Veil is ok, you cannot see much of a different. The Blush is fantastic, the absolute best part of the whole kit...it complements all skin tones. The Warmth is useless, it makes fair to medium skin look orange even when using a tiny bit. Perhaps it looks better on darker skin tones. The Buff Brush sheds like crazy and is a bit rough. The Primer or Face Gel that comes with it is not very good, I did not notice a difference at all with using them.

This is pretty good. I like how the warmth gives you a very natural bronze look and it barely looks like you have make up on but I HATE that it's easy to transfer. even with the mineral veil and all whenever i would barely touch my face it would come off

This is good summer makeup sheer. However in the winter I like to have more coverage so I switch back to liquid foundation. Also sometimes BareMinerals actually makes my pores look bigger or more pronounced.

I love the concept of mineral makeup, especially since I suffer with adult acne. Once you get the hang of the swirl, tap, and buff it is quick and easy to apply. That's where the fun ends for me. The colors are way off with their products. I'm a neutral tone caucasion. I'm not too pale but I'm also not medium. Light is way too yellow. Fairly light would be a great match but it also has alot of yellow. Medium is too dark and pink and Medium Beige is too dark. I currently use Fairly light. I have to really buff to tone down the yellow but by the time I buff so much, the makeup seems to be gone and nothing is covered. Also the brushes in this kit are very cheap and scratchy. I personally use Sephora Collections mineral makeup brushes. I think this could be the best mineral makeup on the market if BE would work on their colors.

I liked this product, but found its inconsistency and grey tones to each of the colors muted my skin rather than added the natural color. I found the brand LOTUS did much better and is an upgrade with purer ingredients to bare minerals.

I like that Bare Escentuals has great coverage and is long lasting but I have tried two different kits and I just cant seem to get it too capture my true skin tone. It was a bit pricey not to find a true match for my skin.

I like that Bare Escentuals has great coverage and is long lasting..My favorite is the Mineral Veil Powder,,,probably one of the best natural make ups on the market

I've used these products and likes them but they are messy.
