I will soon lose my bareminerals virginity. Should I be excited?

Just ordered the today's special value set on qvc, I've been wanting to try the foundation out for a long time. Is it as good as I've heard?

no if you have large pores. Yes - perhaps..if you have good skin to start with, then you won't need to use much and it's just about enhancement really. It's never looked natural on me, but am a/ slightly oily b/ large pored and it really magnifies them
Good luck!

The original one sort of high lights every flaw imo but the matte one is excellent. Once you know your colour Feel Unique is MUCH cheaper.

I have terrible skin, all blotchy with scars etc and I think bm is brilliant so it may suit you lauzifer. You do have to persevere with getting the application right though.

Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully I'll be able to return it back to qvc if it doesn't suit my skin.

They were plugging the primer a lot in the last programme I saw - maybe this was the same one repeated? Does your kit include this? Would be interested to know what you think.

I didn't like it. Awful on my pores. Hope you get on with it. If not, you can always return it.

Thanks, will have a think about that - hate it when things don't work out although will happily return things. Maybe there's a cheaper option in another range.

I've just got the matte foundation for nose area, much better, the big difference is always after applying the mineral veil though!

I have large pores but love BM. I use a Laura Mercier minerals primer underneath and my pores are more or less invisible unless I don't buff enough.
