Well what can I say...they arrived on my doorstep last week and I've been using them since Friday. I'm hooked. I have never had such flawless skin in my life. I was a bit unsure about the powder foundation at first,(as i don't normally wear any foundation at all) but I've had so many comments over the weekend about my skin, even my partner mentioned it!!!!, and I never get comments from him... Rolling Eyes

It goes on so fast and smoothly, I've had no problems with putting it on. The warmth does exactly what it says it does and the veil sets it all...I will never ever use any other make up again. I dont find it settles in any of my fine lines (i am an old bod)!! All I can say is let me click on the bare escentuals icon and order some more!!

Oh the only thing I did notice was my face after a few hours gets a little shiny...but I have got very greasy skin...

I'm also hooked! Which is something, since I'm not a foundation girl! The only product I'm skeptical about, is the warmth. I might try a regular bronzer instead.

My skin is medium dark, due to self tan, and I have a yellowish undertone. I use the 2.3 Medium beige, which is a bit light, but with bronzer on top it looks perfect.

I like the dewy/glowy look, and the fact that it looks natural!

Hi, I have a question about the use of BE foundation. In fact, I have been using it for quite a while but still, I couldnt get the hang of it Crying or Very sad

, esp. during hot humid summer. This is fine in the winter though~

This HOT and HUMID weather just makes my BE foundation melt!! I like the idea of using mineral and like the fact that it gives a light and sheer coverage that I need for the summer time, unfortunately, this doenst last b/c of the weather, it just melts down when I go out under the sun, yet, I dont want to go out *uncovered" .. the major problem is that when it melts, the foundation becomes flaky....you can actually see patches of foundation on my face which is awful!! I didnt realized until one day when I shopped in a cosmetic counter and the SA told me about this (I was soooo embarassed Crying or Very sad

)I would really like to seek for advice/tricks of using this mineral foundation in hot humid weather. I appreciate any helps! Thank you very much! Wink

I dont think living in England I'll ever have the problem of anything melting!..

All I have been doing is putting a little of the foundation in the lid..then swirling the brush round the lid, knocking off excess powder and using it in swirling movements on my face. I dont use alot at all. Then I put on the warmth in the same way, then go over with the mineral veil. I do find that my face does get a bit greasy towards the end of the day. I'm off to the toilets now to see if mine has gone flaky!!...

Gucci:

If you are not living in a hot humid weather, there should not have a big problem of melting at all Wink

I found it stays well too in winter Very Happy

Maybe the best is to leave out everything but the sunscreen Very Happy

I just have to say more on these products....I've been using them a week now and the compliments I've had are amazing....

EVEN the guys at work yesterday told me my face looks flawless (didnt know guys new this word) Laughing

One of the girls asked me if I'd had my make up professional applied!...

I've given out this website address at least 6 times for people to buy the make-up....

Only thing that worries me is....WHAT THE HELL DID I LOOK LIKE BEFORE??? Shock

Something else I have to try. I am not a great lover of foundations or should I say it's not a great lover of me. Infact I probably own more types of foundation than anything else. Always willing to try new suggestions. Flawless skin sounds fantastic Bad Grin
