Bare essentials is without a doubt the best make up i've ever used. I came across it a few years ago when I was 18 ( up untill then i used any foundation) in debenhams. The lady at the counter of the bare minerals section did our make up using the bare minerals products, and at the time I didnt think much of the job she had done, however My auntie brought me a starter pack and over time I started using it, I really noticed a huge difference and when I went out it greatly improved my confidence and make me look so much better in photos. The packs also last a long time if you dont use excessively. I would say if you cannot afford to use bare minerals for every day use ( as it is expensive) use it when you are going to places you know your photo will be taken, or if your going out for a nice meal or party. I would say if your going into the office every day your better off sticking with something slightly more affordable. But it is different for everyone as people have different skin tones and different ways of how they should look like. But if like me you have rosy white skin i would say it is totally worth trying bare minerals.
