BareMinerals RUINED my Skin: PLEASE READ

Not sure about this product any more
I have used this product for many years. The coverage is not as good as it used to be.
Stop using liquid!!!! GET IT
hands-down, the best foundation I've used I always used to think that liquid was the way to go, but it always literally melts off my face and I have combination skin and this does not look cakey in anyway and also last all day. I'm not gonna lie. I was a little spectacle, going into it since it is older beauty products that no one talks about anymore, but I have literally tried everything and I love this more than anything else
Love it!
Great color, goes on and stays on well
Repeat Purchase - Great Product
I love this easy to apply product. I was able to shade match perfectly and get the look I wanted. Very natural.
I have used Bare Minerals for years!
Yes, I started using Bare Minerals by ordering from a TV infomercial years ago. Tried to switch back to liquid makeup, even a "powder based" compact makeup. But always return to original BM loose powder. And Mineral Veil. And still get asked what I use!
