I used Bare Pro by BE today

viva923 — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 17:34:18 GMT

I am not sure if anyone has posted about this new creation by Bare Escentuals.

It does cover heavier than the loose foundation. The brush that must use with this new foundation is so small . Am use to a nice handle kabuki brush.

not sure i like my match, i think it is a little bit to light.I wear in loose foundation med.beige, in bare pro i was put into cashmere (#3) of color matches (lightest to darkest--numbers begin with #1 for lightest to darkest , which I believe is #30.

It does have talc (hospital grade talc) as main ingredient.

Just wanted to try it.

I was hoping someone would post about it. I just found out it is exclusive to Ulta. Hate paying full price for a brush. Is it really necessary?

It will be available at other places in about a month. Ulta just got the exclusive for a very short time. Looking forward to reviews.

Thanks for the heads up. I like trying all the foundations and use different ones on different days depending on how much time I have, where I'm going, how much coverage I need, etc. I'll be interested to see how this one looks on me.

I've been using this foundation since it showed up at Ulta and I love it! Great coverage that lasts all day. I did not purchase the brush. I use the same brush that I used with my Ready foundation or the kabuki I used with the loose foundation depending on the coverage I want

I've been trying this out for a week now and not sure if I'll keep it. I have combo skin and it seems to be too matte/drying. By the end of the day, all my pores were visible. It had a weird unnatural look where I tried to get full coverage. I'm going to try with some different primers to see what that looks like. And no, you don't need the brush. It's so annoying that it seems like every new foundation that comes out now has a new brush that's supposed to be specifically for that foundation.

I might bring the Ready foundation I own to Ulta and do a color comparison. At least I can do an ingredient comparison between the two pressed powder foundations ahead of time.

I have a kabuki brush from Sephora Collection #48 that I use and it does a great job re: coverage.

Hello all.

Just got back to check out what was posting about this new BE foundation.

I was told by BE associate (she was manager of the store) that the reason for the special brush was the ingredients that are in this new foundation will ruin if you don't use this special brush. The new foundation will dry out, I don't have anything to back this up if it is true.

I did use the new foundation 1 day. What I found was, The new foundation did give me a slight case of drying skin by end of day. I looked very cakey at the end of the day. Really don't like the new foundation. It is so much heavier than the loose foundation.

If you purchase the foundation and a brush that goes with this new foundation the cost will be $60.00 plus any taxes.

I used my loose foundation today and had no trouble with it still looking good on my face.

Thanks @viva923- Good info and you saved me a trip to Ulta. I like the convenience of a compact powder, but the only one that gives me good results is Pur Minerals 4 in 1. Otherwise I use loose minerals and dry is not the look I'm going for. Many complained about the original Bare Minerals being too shiny. I like the original and not a fan of the matte. I do mix my own concoction of 1 part Halo and 1 part Bare Minerals because it produces a lighter formula, plus the shade is spot on.

Thanks again. The words dry & cakey are enough to squelch my curiosity.

The very fact that the ingredients of the foundation "will ruin" if you don't use the accompanying brush is another red flag. Makes you wonder about the ingredients---- IF it's even true. My first impression is it sounds like a crock.

@Funloving, I'd stick with your first impression.

Been a BE fan from the beginning. I tried this product and do not like it at all.

I find it heavy, hard to smooth on skin and it has a smell other BE foundations never did. I have used the original minerals, Bare Skin, Complexion Rescue.

I also find this product hard to wash off. I think it is like wearing heavy makeup and is not what the BE line is all about.

Well for those who do like this. I just saw it's available on line at Costco for $18. Twelve shades, no brush.

Re: I used Bare Pro by BE today

JustJazzmom — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 22:16:59 GMT

And I've been told by sales clerks at Ulta & Sephora that it doesn't need a special brush.

I bought this foundation a few weeks ago and have already returned it to Ulta. It wouldn't go on evenly using my Artis brush and every other foundation applies beautifully with this brush which is why I didn't purchase the BE brush. The foundation just kind of sat on the surface of my skin and looked really obvious. It felt heavy even though I used a small amount. I really wanted to like it but it just didn't work for me.

The foundation on the Costco website is the Bare Pro powder foundation. I think we're discussing the new liquid version. If you like the powder version, Costco's price is great!

@laurelei That's what I think the confusion on this thread is. The original poster doesn't clarify which barepro she's referring to and many replied/commented on the barepro powder foundation. I'm curious to hear peoples' thoughts and reviews on the new barepro liquid foundation.

This thread is from last year, FYI.

@laurelei

Thanks for pointing this out. That being said, I have the Bare Pro liquid foundation. Months back there was an incredible LTS deal on one of the AD kits from the initial offering. I grabbed two, in different shades. I like it. No brush included. I've used other brushes or fingers. This was a nice kit and I've enjoyed the contents, especially the pressed compact form of what appears to be 'warmth.'

BTW, Wayne Goss has a great utube video on applying the Bare Pro. He loves it.
