The high mica content made me look way too shiney and made me break out... and despite what they tout, it did feel heavy. I liked the brushes though, and kept them.

Re: Does anyone use Bare Escentuals makeup?
i love bare escentuals, actually. a friend got me hooked. i am using it for the wedding. i like that it is light, to me, and i don';t find that it has clogged any pores. go to ebay and get sample sizes. try it out and if you like it, go to ulta.

Re: Does anyone use Bare Escentuals makeup?
I love it as well. It is all I use. My skin has never looked better. To the person who said they looked too shiny you might be using too much. You only need a small amount and you need to 'buff' it onto the skin. Also do you use the mineral veil powder? That keeps me shine free all day. I have been using it since March 03 and I will never go back to liquid foundation. This is so light and provides such great coverage for me. I am very light skinned and my cheeks are a little red and it evens me right out. My Mother also uses it and loved it. We both used to use Laura Mercier and this stuff is just awesome. I now use all Bare Escentuals products including eyeshadow, liner, mascara, lipstick, blush, concealer, etc. FM with any questions. I love this stuff!

Re: Does anyone use Bare Escentuals makeup?
I have used it. It's ok. It's not necessarily a brand I would rush out to buy more of, but I haven't abandoned it in my makeup drawer, either.
I tend to use the foundation/concealer more when my face is feeling a little oily and/or is breaking out. I hate to use liquid or cream foundations/concealers then because I feel it's not a good combination.
They opened a store on Third Avenue this past summer. I think it's at 65th Street. Maybe, you can try it there.
