    All Bare minerals

    They used bare minerals on my for my wedding make up and now I would never go back to normal foundation. Bare minerals is amazing!!

    That said I don't really know what my top 6 would be as I tend to buy different products all the time. I don't think I've found anything yet which I have stuck to religiously.

    I don't use makeup, except maybe a little mascara for the stage (although I haven't been bothering), but sunscreen is mandatory for me, usually Alba Botanica, and REN skincare is good, as are some of the Kiehl's and Origins skincare products, especially serums. When you get a little older, you wish you had worn sunscreen since birth, and you see that the skincare counts for a lot, since at a certain point the skin-canvas starts to get weird if you don't take care of it!!!

    2. Smith's Rosebud Salve
    3. Clinique almost make-up
    4. Cetaphil daily moisturizer
    5. Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Brown
    6. Benefit Blush in Dandelion

    I love this thread!! Finding new things to try is awesome

    um. Dr Bronners almond castile soap and Avalon Organics Vit C lotion... that's pretty much all I put on my face on a regular basis. Maybe 4-6 times a year (holidays, special occasions) I'll use bare minerals and some mascara... I basically suck at make up. haha

    ETA: CHAPSTICK! Couldn't live without my homemade chapstick. Whew.

    I have a question, at the moment I wear maybelline bb cream because I can't wear most foundations as they tend to dry out my skin, but I don't like the shiny effect it seems to have on my face. My face is naturally lighter than my neck and arms, so finding a foundation in my colour has always be difficult, but how would you rate powder foundations and does anyone have a particular brand they recommend and why? I would like good coverage and one that could last a good few hours.

    i used to wear bareminerals and LOVED it... but i had to switch to sheercover because it was cheaper, but its still just as good! only difference is it makes my skin jus a tad bit more oily, but not too bad..

    I don't wear a lot of make up at the moment, but when I do, I like Hard Candy brand pressed powder, tash tint and metallic eye liner, BareMinerals' eyebrow kit, and Maybeline's Baby Lips balms.

    try bare essentials, i can't wear most foundations because they cover my freckles and make my skin shiny - but this stuff doesn't do any of that AND has improved the health of my skin! :)

    I LOVE Revlon Photoready foundation... love. I only wear it in the winter but it's super cheap and super awesome. I like the powder or the liquid. I'd rather use liquid with translucent powder over top of it to control the oil, though. Have you tried just a translucent power over top of what you usually use?

    I LOVE MAC Studio Fix powder foundation. It's the only foundation I've worn in probably 8 years. I used to have problems with breakouts, but I've had great skin since I started using MAC. It gives a good amount of coverage but still lets my freckles show. I love that I never look like I'm wearing makeup, and that I can not wear makeup and still look pretty good.

    i don't wear a lot of makeup. just powder, generally.

    skin...i have to have lip balm of some type (i prefer burt's bees) and i have a cupboard full of victoria's secret amber romance everything. body butter, lotion, mist, body wash, perfume. when i was younger i always wore natural ambergris oil but when i stopped being able to find it, i didn't have a signature scent for years until i found the amber romance at vicky's.

    also can't live without a natural sea sponge for the shower.
