    I have. My mom is trying to get me to buy some for the wedding. I had the foundation a few years ago. Are you thinking of using it for your wedding?

    Yeah. I am. I don't normally wear makeup so I am lost when thinking what to buy for the wedding.

    A lot of my coworkers were talking about this product and I'm considering buying it and trying it out, but none of them were AAW. So I am wondering how it works for our skin....

    Has your mom used it before?

    My mom has used it. She and I both like it. I will admit that it is light in weight. Many of the other brands that are sold in discount and drug stores seem heavy to me. Bare Minerals is great if you have sensitive skin.

    I hope this helps.

    I use Bare Minerals on a daily basis. I have an oily complexion and I LOVE IT! I regularly get compliments on my skin when I have it on. Bonus - when I wore MAC foundation, it always ended up on my phone. Ewww.... Bare Minerals stays put.

    My sister and I both use BareMinerals.  I use the mineral veil to help me with oil and shine and my sister uses the foundation.  We both love the products!  Bonus: Bare Minerals will not cake on your face or buil up as you touch up during the day.  If you do go to try the products, I suggest a Bare Minerals boutique as opposed to trying it in Sephora.  HTH

    I wear Bare Minerals on a daily basis. I have eczema, which makes it very difficult for me to wear makeup. My skin is very sensitive and reactive to a lot of different elements of make-up. I get tons of compliments on my make-up and people comment on how great my skin is. I recommend Bare Minerals whole heartedly. If you go to a Bare Minerals store or Sephora, who sells it, they will give you a small sample to take home and use. They can also give you a make-over in the store to see how it works on your skin. I say give it a try. It's a little pricey but it lasts a long time because you don't use a lot.

    Wow!

    Thanks for the excellent feedback ladies. Now that I know it works on our type of skin, I'm sold. I'm going tomorrow to go pick some up/try some out.

    Thanks!

    I think I'm going to give it a try as well. My MAC compact was at the end and then I dropped it in the sink so of course it crumbled into pieces so no time like the present to try something new. Thanks for posting this.
