I guess this is the board to put such a question on...If not, let me know.

Has anyone here tried or use Bare Minerals?  I just received the starter kit as a gift and have pretty sensitive skin so I thought I'd try to get some feedback from my fave site, lol!!!

Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!

I have been using it for about 4 years now and I love it.  I've tried quite a few other mineral makeups so I will tell you what I have found:

Loreal - Did not make a shade light enough to match my skin.  Did not blend well.

Maybelline - Hideous pinkish-orange tinge to their fairest color.  It took Maybelline so long to come out with a mineral makeup, I was shocked that it was so bad.  

TruMinerals - got this on the Internet.  It looked very nice and blended very well, but it had a very unpleasant odor.  I didn't like their mineral veil either, nor any of the other items that came in the kit. 

Avon - I really liked Avon's mineral makeup.  The color was beautiful and it had the same nice texture as Bare Minerals.  They do not have a wide range of color choices, though. 

Here is a winner, which really surprised me, because it is CHEAP:  NYC (New York Color) which I bought at WalMart.  Both the foundation and the mineral veil are very good and blend nicely.  I use my Bare Minerals brushes, though.  The brushes they come with really don't work so well.  NYC is less than $5, which is a great price for mineral makeup, less than half the other drugstore brands and much, much less than Bare Minerals.

I still think Bare Minerals is the best, but it is just so expensive.   I'll either stick with NYC or buy my Bare Minerals on ebay, which I have a couple of times when I have run out between my next shipment.

Mineral makeup has been so good to my skin!  I have much less trouble with breakouts since I have been using it.  Good luck!
