for me,BE foundation is for someone who want to look natural,feel natural because it's very light.

i have a few BE's range in my collection and i love them very much.My husband notice a difference when i put them on.

agreed with sassy*girl,some of my friends were frustrated with the application at first but it'd be better with practices.what i have experienced is the result was awesome if u put ur moisturizer before applting the foundation.

Since I started using BE foundation, I use less and less every day. It's really helped my skin. I will NEVER go back to liquid or cream foundation, I think they were the reason I needed the foundation! Even though I do miss using my 190 brush...

I LOOOVE Bare Escentuals! I don't have very problematic skin, but I do have some scars from previous pimples and some blotchy areas and BE covers it flawlessly. It doesn't look like I'm even wearing makeup and I don't even feel it. After your first or second try, you'll have it down, it's really not that hard to apply. I think everyone should use it. Unless you like that cakey foundation look...personally, I don't know who would

I love BE! It does sometimes get a little oily on me, but in 115 degree heat I don't think there is any foundation that wouldn't. It's light and just softens the edges, which is exactly what I needed. Plus it didn't turn orange on me.

I've been wanting to try this out badly, but I don't live in the US so I usually get a friend to buy stuff for me. What shade of BE should I get if I'm between MAC's NC30-35? I really don't trust online color swatches.

I started using BE foundation about 2 weeks ago and I love it! I have sensitive, acne prone skin that I also consider oily and had been using L'Oreal Mattique but with it being like 100 degrees here lately, it was sliding all over the place. So I decided to get the complexion perfection kit from Sephora. I got the Medium kit with the 2.3 Medium Beige and 3.0 Medium foundation in it and both are excellent color matches. They also say if you're unsure about your color match to try the 2.3 as it's the most commonly used color in BE. This stuff covers amazingly well for me too. Slightly glowy look, not really shiny as I've heard a lot of people describe it and no breakouts from this! Plus, it stays on amazingly well in the heat. Anyway, give it a shot : ) hope this helps!

it works on the redness on my cheeks, esp. on hyperpigmentation marks that aren't that red and are on their way to fading (hopefully! hehe)

i also mix fairly light and light, but since it's summer i only use the darker one of the two

I really want to try this. I only need it to even out my skintone, so what better than a foundation that is advertised as a foundation that you can sleep in? (or so I've heard)

I'm a MAC NC30/35 and have been using bareMinerals since February. I would go with the Fairly Light and Light foundations. I'm currently using Light w. bronzer wherever the sun hits since it's summer cuz I got a bit darker. HTH!

Ditto. I love this stuff. I've seen it before but never really thought much of it untill I heard more about it here. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I already notice a difference in my skin. I haven't broken out since I started using it.
