Bare escentuals: full coverage?

Does bare escentuals foundation minerals give full coverage?

It can give you full coverage. The best way to do it is by using the Kabuki Brush instead of the Flawless Application Face Brush. If you do a search, there's a thread on here regarding BE, and there's quite a few before & after pics. I believe someone found a tutorial from another site as well. I'll search for the thread and add the link when I find it (unless someone beats me to it *lol*)

yes, depending on what brush you use to apply it. for more coverage i used the kabuki brush.

Ok, thanks!

I believe this is the thread aerisley mentioned...

I use the kabuki brush, and I say no, but then again I am not really willing to take the time and apply how many coats it would take to get full coverage so mehh

For me, 1 coat with the Kabuki brush and a touch here and there with the concealer brush provides me with full coverage...

Yep! That's the one... It's on the third page I believe...

No, it does not give full coverage in my opinion. I have some red in my face and it doesn't cover it unfortunately.

u can give it light coverage, medium or full. it's all in the application

It doesn't sink in your pores and I don't feel guilty sleeping with it if I want to.I usually put Laura Geller BRONZE & BRIGHTEN over it, then of course MINERAL VEIL. Cannot live without it. BESTEST!!!!!

I tried it and returned it. I didnt think it gave much coverage but I didnt have the kabuki brush and it really accentuated my pores so it went back before I ever got to the kabuki brush

When I was using the flawless brush I was putting on too much make up and it made my pores look deeper. However, with the Kabuki brush I only need one application and it hides the pores. The less you use, and the more you buff, the better it looks.

Hi all!

Has anyone tried the Laura Geller line? Just bought some on QVC looks great hope I'm not disappointed...

The more you buff the more coverage you get. Remember, a little goes a long way.

Hi Raqy: I am a big Laura Geller fan. I am watching her on QVC too. Her Bronze & Brighten and Balance & Brighten are the best. I just ordered her Vanishing Act Concealer, and darn, was too late. SOLD OUT. Am on wait List. Can't wait to get it. I have been happy with all her products and now she has Baked Blush like her other products (Bronze & Brighten & Balance & Brighten) Lasts forever too. I also love her Oil Blotting baked powder with a cool fan brush. Have oily skin.

Let me know if you like everything.

Great I will just ordered more, I love to watch it while its on but can get myself into trouble!
