first off the shipping was super FAST! on this was more like days not weeks. A very big plus for me as I sell on line daily so shipping to me is important. So 5 stars on the shipping!

I have not worn make-up with any regularity for about 30 yrs. I tried it here and there and did not like the feeling or the look. I tried high end department store products to low end make-up from drug store. Nothing seemed right.

I really tried this product on a whim. I had seen one of my customers one day who really looked nice and I told her. She said she went to a job interview,... and said she wore Bare Escentuals and loved it. She had ordered off of tv shopping show and was very happy with it.

I thought why not, so I ordered it. It did take me a few days to get the hang of working the powder and the brushes. It does cover up the ruddy-red that comes with age. I am suprised that as the day wears on, my face feels the same as if I had no make up on.

That is what I like, I do not look made up. It doesnt come off on the phone like other make-up tends to do. I still dont wear eye make up but I do use some of the Bare Esc. eye powder that is a dark grey under my eyebrows, just to open up my eyes some, as I wear glasses, too.

I am happy with the color choices and will know more when summer comes. I do tan easily so it will be interesting to see summer results.

Why make-up now after going for almost 30 yrs without?

To blend or cover the reddness and to even out color without it being heavy or made up. I even keep my fingers off of my face with this on.

I thought of sharing this with my daughter because I was so sure it wasnt going to work for me. But I kept it hidden from her and I will think of ordering her, her own set.

So all in all, it seems to work for me. Like I said it took a few days to get the hang of mastering the powder and brushes. I have had it for about two weeks and I am not one who spends time in front of a mirror, so far I feel like I can get this product on without taking too much time.

I just know that this is one make-up you cant put on in the car and drive at the same time, you need both hands, lol.

Let's start by saying that in the past few years, since I've gotten more an more into natural living, I've started wearing less and less makeup. That said, I'm still a girly girl, so I've never left home without at least some mascara and a little bronzer.

Unfortunately I'm one of those people whose skin mirrors their stress levels so I'm prone to a degree of breakout and blotchiness when I'm very stressed, don't sleep enough, etc. This set is good for those days when I feel I need a bit more makeup: the foundation gives pretty good coverage (especially if you use the kabuki brush), Warmth gives the perfect glow on my cheeks and mineral veil is fab to achieve that finished look which I never felt I could achieve, no matter how much or how little makeup I put on and how long I spend doing it.

Basically, with this set you can get a better job done in A LOT less time.

However (and here's why I gave it 4 stars and not 5) if you don't like the feeling of makeup on your skin, you probably will be bothered by this, especially as soon as you put it on. I gets better after a few hours but when I'm done putting it on I always feel tempred to wash my face and take it all off again, because I still get that feeling of "help! my skin can't breathe".

I think most people will be happy with this; as for those of us who are a bit more sensitive, we'll have to keep looking, and save this for special occasions.

Note: I haven't used the lotion included in the package because I'm allergic to salicylic acid so I cannot review that product.

I had wanted to try this make-up for a very long time,after reading several reveiws I decided to buy it.If you want good coverage for blemishes I wouldnt recommend this product.I wish I would have watched the reveiws on youtube BEFORE I made my purchase,because it turns out this product contains a chemical called bismuth oxide.And sure enough after using it for 3 days...I broke out. Pros: feels like your not wearing make-up.Cons: doesnt cover well and causes break outs for sensitive skin.

Honest reviews on Get Started Kit

This is a great makeup for anyone who wants a natural look with moderate coverage. Let me start by saying that I have pretty clear skin and no wrinkles and use this makeup to even out skin tone and cover up any random blemishes that may pop up every now and again.

Pros:

*Very light I really hate stuff on my face an am very sensitive to it, but I can't feel this one.

*SPF 15 I can't use SPF face lotions bc they all make my face sticky, but this stuff has the SPF built in.

*Great brushes The brushes alone are worth the cost of the kit and work wonderfully.

*Quick to put on One you get the hang of it, it takes a few minutes to put it on.

*Looks natural Doesn't look like you are wearing makeup and blends right into hair line and sides of face without effort.

*Lasts all day!

Cons:

*Need practice It took me about a week to get it right. Also, you really need to make sure your face is "dewey" before you put it on or the makeup won't stick.

*Can't sleep in it They claim you can "sleep" in this makeup, but if you do, expect to get it on your pillow. It's a powder, if you rub up against a fabric hard enough, it will come off.

*Moderate coverage If you are looking for something to cover every blemish and wrinkle, this is not the right makeup. You get moderate coverage at best. Also, you will need a separate concealer for very bad blemishes and under eye circles.

I thought it was just a gimmick/fad to buy mineral make-up at this price and that it would be no different from my drugstore make-up. Even after my sister got it for her birthday last year, I still wasn't convinced it was so great. Only until I ordered it myself, watched the DVD to learn how to use it correctly & then actually used the product did I become a fanatic! I'm a tomboy so make-up is not high on my list to write reviews about, but I just am so amazed by this product that I had to write a review. It is so natural looking, covers flaws so wonderfully & is all natural to boot! How much better can you get than that? I don't have to worry about blemishes on my skin because of products with so many chemicals, etc. in them because you use so little of this natural product that even if you didn't feel like washing it off at night it wouldn't make any difference to your complexion. I am definitely a believer & will never use anything else!
