I have been using Bare Minerals since 2005, and I really like it. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing make-up at all, and it lasts ALL DAY LONG.
If I'm not wearing Bare Minerals, by the end of the day, I feel like all my make-up has worn off, and I look washed out. But the Bare Minerals really lasts during the days.
One thing I don't trust about it, though: they say you can sleep in it and that it's "good" for your skin. I have a hard time believing that any make-up that lasts all day like that can be "good" for your skin to have on overnight.
Love it! I just started using it about a month ago and I am addicted! It is true to it's claims that it last all day! Once you get the hang of what brush to use when, it is a cinch!
I've never used the Bare Minerals, but I do use one that is similar...it's by L'Oreal Bare Naturale....something like that. I actually told the saleswoman at Sephora that I use that (because I was asking about the Bare Minerals) and she said she likes the L'Oreal better...and it's way less expensive....
I've used the L'Oreal Bare Naturale as well, and I really like it. I do like the Bare Minerals mineral veil very much, but for the price, the L'Oreal version is wonderful.

It's great ! It totally evens out the skin and doesn't feel like there's anything on the skin.
If I may, another thing that has done wonders for my skin is Philosophy, hope in a jar. This is the best moisturizer and the only one I'll ever use !!!!!!! And I have sensitive skin.
I bought Bare Minerals and I guess I wasn't fond of it b/c it wasn't the color I needed, I bought to light, so I don't use it. I like schleina likes tinted moisturizer. . . it seems to go faster. . .but maybe that's b/c I never got use to the brushes like ginall said.
I'm a Mary Kay die hard but just found out that they are coming out with a mineral line. I'll try it, I'll try anything to make this skin look younger and "fresh". That's the word my rep used, "fresh". I just laughed.
I'll let you know. Usually Mary Kay is not as expensive as the top brands, higher than drug store, but I've always found it worth the little extra.
Softball mom- if you see your rep, send her my way. I am looking for a tube of lipstick that only Mary Kay carries. (I think it's called Brown Sugar.) And wouldn't you know it? When I am actually looking for someone, they are no where to be found:-)
I tried Bare Minerals and didn't like it. Their color selection is limited and it didn't work for me. I was introduced to Everyday Minerals and they have a ton of color selections and 3 finishes (matte, semi-matte, and original glo). They are web-based, and will send you free samples to find the right shade/finish combo.
I've been using BE Bare Minerals for about 7 yrs now. I LOVE it! I use everything they offer, but I tend to stick with my lip gloss from Cover Girl. I love the coverage and it truly is something you can wear to bed. In fact, I created my own blemish therapy that includes Bare Mineral's bisque mixed with organic witch hazel. It works wonders. I get most of my product from QVC and actually have been on an auto delivery plan for several years for various kits. Did I mention how much I love this makeup?
