Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup By lovebug on Feb 05, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The first few times I used ithis I was elated. It really did look great!! But after a week, my dry, sensitive, rosecea skin started reacting/breaking out terribly. It made my skin itch so badly at times all I wanted to do was run and wash it off. This also give a radioactive tin-man "glow" and looked very un-natural. I stopped using BE makeup immediately, but, my poor skin tooks weeks to recover. It made my skin look flawless at first, but wreaked havoc on it. What a shame. It had a lot of promise. I do think the culprit was the bismuth oxychloride, but, can't say for sure, maybe they'll reformulate it without the bismuth oxychloride and I would, MAYBE, try it again, since this is what seems to cause the majority of the problems with this makeup, but, right now I would not recommend this to anyone with sensitive, dry, rosecea type skin.
