    I got some for Christmas last year and I haven't used any other make up since! Get yourself a starter kit, has all the basics in it, then if you like it build up from there.
    I'm definitely using it on the big day, it's light enough so that you don't look like a trussed up turkey but durable enough to last all day!!

    I think my mum got mine from QVC but I do know it's floating around in the supermarket on here. Type "Escentuals Bare Minerals" into google and it should bring up stockists.
    Starter kit is between £50 & £60 but don't fall into the trap of thinking it's too expensive, 9 months on and it looks like I haven't even made a dent in mine, much cheaper overall than stuff like MAC, Benefit & Clinique etc!! I totalled up how much I spent on my regular make up over the course of a year and it came to about £85 so this stuff is nowhere near prciey really :)

    When I say it lasts all day - mine usually goes on a 7.30am and is STILL on my face looking fresh at midnight!!

    I think since I got it there's been a grand total of a week when I haven't used it - by now I would have normally gone through 4 pumps of foundation, 3 pressed powder compacts, 3 concealer sticks and 2 pots of blusher - no, still on the first pot of everything :)
    No worries, I might go for a reps job with them :D

    My original kit has;
    Foundation
    Mineral veil (an all over powder that puts the flawless finish onto your skin)
    Warmth all over face colour (like a bronzer so it gives you a bit of colour)
    Brush

    then added to it;
    clear radiance (can be used to give your whole face a rosy tint OR makes for an excellent blusher!!)
    eyeshadow

    You can buy all the bits seperately so you can pick and choose for yourself if the kits are a bit baffling

    Hiya hun! I've used bare minerals for ages they're brilliant bisque is a great concealer, light or medium beige foundation would suit you, mineral veil, lovely- a blusher which is really natural or clear radiance (not so natural looking). They are all brilliant products especially if you have sensative skin. Send me a note if you want any help sorting this out :D xxx

    I use bare faced minerals foundation.....it's amazing.... I got mine from debenhams I couldn't do the starter kit as my skin colour is dark cool and they don't stock that in the starter kit.... But it's brilliant hides everything and doesn't look trawled on :0) xx

    Being able to sleep in it is one of the upsides and unlike normal make up it doesn't stain your pillow cases if you do :)

    This is so helpful. I tried it once and was impressed how long it lasted. My make up usually seems to come off after I've left the house for five minutes!
    I've heard that you can go to a Bare Escentuals counter in House of Fraser or one of their shops and for £50 they give you a make up lesson- they do half your face and you have to do the other half. Then the £50 goes towards buying makeup, so basically the lesson is free. Will defo try it with all your recommendations.

    one of the shopping channels has it on a special introductory price at the moment. six four zero.... Also for those who want a little help around the eye area - bags/lines/dark circles I would really recommend eyesential; it is brill a definate make up bag essential for all of us.
