Bare Escentuals - one of the purest makeup available, it's good for skin and women love the natural look with great coverage. It's so pure and good for the skin that you can even sleep in it and your skin loves it!
There are other brands of mineral foundation and other mineral-based products that imitate this product, but they are not the same - it's the original and you can tell that it's the best when it's compared to other cosmetic brands.
There are ZERO oils, talcs, preservatives or chemicals. It is not a powder - just pure crushed minerals in a powder form.
Their product line includes skin care (Rare Minerals), id bareMinerals™ (foundations and skin colors), products for eyes and lips, professional makeup brushes, as well as various collections including starter kits with "how-to's" enclosed so you can learn how to use it like a professional.
I've used this product and it's by far my favorite in cosmetics - it's so easy to put on, it's coverage is wonderful and it's great for any age. I'm predicting that Escentuals Mineral Makeup will leave all the others in the dust over time.
