Bare Escentuals Ready Foundation

Radmom413 · 09-10-2012, 06:36 PM

I think I have found my holy grail.

This is one awesome foundation - for me, anyway!
It's a cross between the regular BE and the BE matte.
It has great coverage that is buildable.....
I also have the brush as well and it is also amazing!

Cool!

But if I read correctly it has the bismuth oxychloride which makes me and many others itch. Disappointing.

I didn't look at the ingredients. I have very sensitive skin - to the point I have to be careful of what brushes I use. I have not had a problem!

And so far - I am in LOVE - this is the best foundation - for me - ever!

That is high praise Radmom!! Is it very shiny or more matte? I know you said it was a cross, but I was hoping it leaned more matte than shiny. That might make me try it!

Radmom413 · 09-19-2012, 04:29 AM

I definitely is more matte than shiny. DD doesn't like shiny AT ALL and LOVES LOVES LOVES this foundation. I do think I have found my holy grail!

I'm glad you like it!

People seem to love it or hate it.

I'm still on strike against foundations.

Radmom413 · 09-19-2012, 06:52 PM

Everyone that I have recommended it to, loves it!

I have mildly dry skin...not terribly but my previous attempts at mineral foundation were a bust because I needed more than powder on my face. Also when I used cream beforehand, the makeup didn't seem to cover very well.

DiamondDeb · 09-19-2012, 08:59 PM

Cindy, is it more like a powder BE or is it a different feel & look?

Radmom413 · 09-20-2012, 04:15 AM

Deb - it's honestly a different feel and look.
It seems way more hydrating and the coverage - for me - is amazing - my friend who got it AND my DD both felt the same.

Are there two different types? I tried it on my hand. It seemed okay. I wish they had samples so I could try it for a couple of days and then purchase. Of course I think most places I could take it back and get a refund.

Radmom413 · 09-24-2012, 04:34 AM

You can take it back - just keep your receipt.
I did find, if you do use a heavy hand - for me, it got cakey, so they are right....use a light hand!
