“A Poor Quality Product”

Teresa F.
3/7/23

I've used this product for years with no issues but clearly they've recently changed it. I've had my compact for about a month and it's crumbled into one huge mess! There is no salvaging it and I have no choice but to toss it in the bin. They've raised their prices but clearly lowered their quality. How very disappointing!

I also like it as well as other users here. Their material are indeed natural what is certainly superior.

Unlike other companies selling beauty products, this one uses natural minerals. And it is great. I'd say it's awesome.

So many beauty brands have toxic ingredients in their formulations... Bare Escentuals does a good job at a great formula that's safer to use. The foundation is light but you can layer it, so it's versatile. Great option!

I have used this make-up since Aug 2004, and in fact I need to order more. It makes my skin so healthy. A plus!

Completed a purchase (item US*******) on Tue 12/13/2016. As of the time of this review Thu 12/22/2016 the order has not arrived.

On Tue 12/20/2016, a Bare Minerals' support agent (by phone) advised me to continue waiting and no further assistance was offered. Absolutely no sense of concern.

I've reached out to Bare Minerals via e-mail (*******@bareminerals.com) today, Thu 12/22/2016, in hopes to find a resolution. This review will be updated with their response, and transcript of the e-mail.

This was my first experience purchasing from bareescentuals.com.

Tip for consumers:
This review is specific to the quality of their online shopping experience (very poor). The product itself was not evaluated, as the purchase was never delivered.

Years ago I met the founder of bare minerals in a local boutique
I have dry, sensitive skin
The company is responsive to questions about their products.
Best deals in my options are their sets
Many compliments on my skin. Not "make up".
As far as foundation their foundations are adaptable I can use light /med to medium in my opinion the shades are neutral
Used to receive the kits.
Very easy to postpone shipment the products, a little goes a long way
Only complaint, bought sets, however no instructions. One is a large set of eyeshadows /eye liner. Their kits used contain suggestions.

Bare Essentials is one of the best mineral makeups around. I enjoy being able to add a subtle glow and a bit of color to my cheeks and eyes all the while knowing that its safe and chemical free.

My friend has been buying cosmetics for a long time, and she was always happy. And recently I also decided to order and try. And I did not regret, very cool and high-quality cosmetics!

I have been a Bare Escentual customer for many years. Each product I have ordered and used has been wonderful, They even send so many free items that it makes it so nice. Have told many friends of this company and their Great products.

So years ago I use to wear cheap crappy make up. Then I walked into a bare minerals store. Sure I had heard of them from tv infomercials but to go into the atmosphere and be treated like a princess. It was amazing. Unfortunately I moved away from stores and I quit wearing make up but now that my daughter is in dance I went back to the bare essentials website for help. Man the product line has seriously grown! I was lost but the website makes it so easy to purchase! Sure it's a little pricy but can you put a price on quality?

Bare escentuals is by far my favorite mineral make up that goes on smooth without any caking. Not super cheap but not too expensive either.

This is the best mineral makeup out there. Love that you have a choice of matte or original. I think that smashbox has an idea that I wish bare minerals had thought of tho, that is the halo foundation to get you how much you need in a turn, it is convenient and no mess.

Easy to buy it online and the shipping of their make up has always arrived on time. I like being able to get the exact color I want online.

Bare escentuals is great for makeup that won't clog your skin. Online, you can browse their products. They have videos online on how to apply the makeup, and different techniques for application.

I had bad acne for years using the wrong make up. I saw the ad for bare escentuals and my acne is so much better now using their make up.

Their powder makeup is the best. Great variety of lipsticks and glosses. Colors I never seen elsewhere. Goode prices..
