“It has really good staying power, but I found the coverage to be uneven color-wise. It goes on pretty smoothly, and I smooth it out as much as I can, but when I look in the mirror, sometimes the coverage looks splotchy (less so with a single layer - I don't find it to be buildable). I ordered the Deep shade, so that may be why. A sheer but dark gloss can be tricky.
People say it's not sticky, but I do think it is. Not as sticky as many glosses, granted, but a bit sticky nonetheless. That doesn't really bother me (it probably helps it hang on longer!), but some people are pretty particular about texture so your mileage may vary.
Overall, it's good, but I think the price is high for the way I feel about it. We'll see how it keeps me covered this winter (that's the main draw for me - keeping my lips from drying out!). If it does that, I'll be a big fan and maybe even order another (albeit more sheer) color!”
“Seriously, BARE is my new desert island must have item! I used to wear C-Thru by MAC (long long long time ago!) and Bare is its perfect replacement!!! Thank you thank you!”
“I've gone through three of these now and I absolutely love the formula for the many reasons people have already mentioned. My only complaint is the packaging. It's beautiful to be sure but they're very messy. A lot of product comes out on the stick and on the felt tip brush, and then god forbid any air or pressure is in the bottle. The product will then proceed to ooze out upon closing and tightening of the cap. Additionally, towards the end of my time with all three the silver cap becomes loose from the actual applicator mechanism which makes it even harder to open. I absolutely love these products but I've been holding off on purchasing another in hopes that the packaging will change soon.”
