Love the products- just NOT the company
Pros
Products were great and cruelty free Really liked the values
Cons
Bare minerals used to be a great brand with a lot of promise and a strong future, until Shiseido started changing things, discontinuing great products, made cuts to the brand and then sold it to Orveon, who has since then well and truly ruined it. Shiseido did Bare dirty in the awful commission structure and ridiculous targets - Orveon kept this structure in place but made even more cuts everywhere else! Lack of care and support from upper management- they don’t want to hear the negatives impacting business, force you to sell alternative shades/products that just won’t work for the customer. When I occasionally visit my old counter so much has gone downhill and there is next to no advertising of the brand, yet still high targets and same old stock issues. Gratis is just non existent and you had to put up with having the old discontinued things they couldn’t get rid of An absolute shame because I remember how fun and natural the brand used to be before Shiseido butchered it and now Orveon finished it off
