**Update 1/5/2014: here is my recent review of the Bare minerals makeup after three years of continuous use.
So, my skin was bad enough that I wanted to cover it with some makeup. I was never a believer in makeup because of my skin being so sensitive. But at this point, it is bothering me when I am at work or have to interact with people. Those of us suffering from acne know that how much we are embarrassed by our skin. To be honest, I even notice people with bad skin and I have bad skin. It just how we see people and subconsciously judge people based on appearance.
OK, before I go on and on with this. Let's talk about Bare Minerals makeup. I bought this makeup more than a month ago because of the sudden outbreak of my acne. Here are all the products I have:
Matte SPF 15 Foundation in Golden Fair
Mineral Veil - original formula
Warmth All-Over Face Color
SPF 20 Concealer in Summer Bisque
Full Flawless Application Face Brush
Well-Care for Brush Conditioning Shampoo
Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
Flawless Face Brush
Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer
I know it seems like a lot of products but I only purchased the SPF 20 Concealer in Summer Bisque and the Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer separately. All the other stuff came in a kit that was like supposedly save you money when you purchase everything all together. It came out to over one hundred dollars total. Yes, I know it's expensive. But my acne was so bad to the point that I just wanted to stay home. And I am sure that anyone that had terrible breakouts felt the same at some point. I got all this at Macy's and the lady there was very nice and put all the products on me. I didn't make the purchase right away because I was afraid that it can irritate my skin. So, I let it stay on me for a day to see if it itches or causes any discomfort. And at the end of the day, I felt fine and decided to go back and buy it.
If you plan to purchase this or any makeup for coverage, you should definitely have the sales person put it on you first. My motto is don't buy any makeup that you haven't tried because it will always have a chance to irritate your skin. No one wants to waste money!
Now, that I have been using this makeup for more than a month. Here is what I think of it. The coverage is pretty good even compared to liquid foundation. The redness is totally covered which is what I am primarily concerned about. Acne is raised so people can still tell you have acne when they are up close. It gave a boost of confidence and now I finally feel like I can look people in the eye when they are talking to me. My skin still gets oily at the end of the day; this makeup can only help me stay oil free for 1/2 day even with the oil control foundation primer. It makes my itch better.
Okay, here are some pictures of my skin before the makeup and after just for your reference. I know it's bad but bear with me.

Wow! Very nice! Your acne isn't that bad. With the makeup you look great! I tried BM but it made me itchy and red, probably due to the bismuth oxyWhatever. I'm thinking of trying their matte makeup beacause it has none of that irritating ingredient.
