Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up — 

I really wanted to like this makeup, but it made my skin red and irritated. I used it for several weeks before I gave up. If you have really sensitive skin, this might not be for you. There are other mineral makeups out there that do not have the irritating ingredients AND they're less expensive.

Hi! Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Did you let Leslie know? You can contact her from her site and maybe she can help you out or you can help her make it better. The other thing is are you using the Barevitamins before applying the other products? If not that may be the problem. I hope this helps! :o)

I absolutely agree with this review, my skin has been red, irritated, and breaking out on my forehead for months and I couldn't figure out why...until I stopped using this make up. Glad to see I'm not the only one that this affected since this product claims it makes your skin better and clearer from breakouts.

this makeup doesn't HAVE irritating ingredients. the only thing that can cause problems is mineral veil (the loose powder) does have cornstarch in it (zea mays) and people can have an allergic reaction to any ingredients, natural or artificial. i have very sensitive skin, and have not had any issues with bare minerals. my sister, however has sensitie skin ALSO, and did - found out she is allergic to mica.
