This Amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on January 15, 2010 with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Bare Escentuals, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds

Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

As further described in Item 4 below, as of the date of the purchase of the tendered Shares by Purchaser, the Reporting Persons, Fifth Berkshire, Sixth Berkshire and the Berkshire Principals are no longer beneficial owners, or deemed to be beneficial owners (as the case may be), of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is amended, in pertinent part, by adding the following immediately after the last paragraph thereof:

On March 9, 2010, Parent announced the completion of a tender offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $18.20 per share, net to the seller in cash. All of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were sold pursuant to this tender offer and, accordingly, this Amendment is being filed to reflect that the Reporting Persons are no longer the beneficial owners of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock and, consequently, none of the Reporting Persons, Fifth Berkshire, Sixth Berkshire or the Berkshire Principals may be deemed to be beneficial owners of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of Issuer.

Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) As a result of the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, none of the Reporting Persons, Fifth Berkshire, Sixth Berkshire or the Berkshire Principals any longer has, or may be deemed to have, beneficial ownership of any shares of the Common Stock.

(b) As a result of the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, none of the Reporting Persons, Fifth Berkshire, Sixth Berkshire or the Berkshire Principals has any voting or dispositive powers with respect to any shares of the Common Stock.

(c) Other than the sale of all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons in connection with the tender offer by Purchaser as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons, Fifth Berkshire, Sixth Berkshire or the Berkshire Principals has engaged in any transactions in shares of the Common Stock since January 15, 2010, the date on which the Schedule 13D was filed.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On March 9, 2010, the Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Common Stock.
