Bare Minerals?

It's all I use too. I have oily skin and liquid makeup just melts off.

I used it for years and loved it. Much better than the cheapy stuff I used before I found it. But then I started getting tired of the expense and thus experimented with drugstore versions of mineral makeup, and found options in a few different brands that I liked just as well. Covergirl mineral foundation, Loreal mineral concealer, and Maybelline mineral finishing powder. My motivation was that I'm a couponer and I was able to find deals that allowed me to try these products for free, and I liked them so now I still buy them. ;-)

It's all I use. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

Same! It's not cheap, but the foundation lasts me well over a month. So it's not that bad!

I've used it a couple of times, and it works really well, especially for my sensitive skin. It makes your skin look naturally clear and luminous.

I think buying the starter kit is a good way to go.

At the time I paid about $65 for it and it included all of the brushes (which on their own can be $25 each).

Depending on how much coverage you need, I definitely recommend getting the concealer and the kabuki brush.

buy the other mineral stuff from E.L.F. because it's tons cheaper and has nicer color, but buy the foundation from Bare Minerals.

I love E.L.F.!

YES YES YES .. It's all I wear, love love love it!

I love Bare Minerals! It helped my oily skin clear up. It is a bit pricey but I have been able to really make mine stretch since you don't really need a lot of it.

yes! freaking best make up I ever owned. It actually helped my skin, after like a year of use whatever acne I had completely went away, my skin improved so much so than I stopped using it cause I didn't have to. I started using again like a 8mo ago cause my skin sometimes is such uneven tone, especially after workouts or after I get ready in the morning. All the other cover-ups I ever used made me break out sooooo bad, thank god my mom got me bare minerals, I will never use any other product!

Worth every penny. If you have issues with liquid foundation looking like its flaking off than this is the foundation for you. Also, if you have any redness to your skin they have an anti-redness treatment that works great!

Use it and love it! I've been using it for about 6 years or so and don't suffer the breakouts I did when I used a liquid base and a powder finisher.

I tried it and broke out like I had just hit puberty! The only makeup I've ever used that I had that kind of reaction to. :frown:

That's weird! It's actually cleared up my skin, when I use it regularly. But nothing is completely hypoallergenic, so it stands to reason that it would affect some people negatively. I'm sorry that happened.

The stuff they want you to use for "primer" gave me a horrible rash!!!

And although I like the make-up, it's no different for me than the Mary Kay mineral powder which is more matching to my skin tone anyway. And cheaper.

I do like the mineral powders much better than the liquids or other cakey crap you can buy.

i just bought the starter kit. ended up getting a great deal on it because the lady rang it up wrong (paid 30 dollars instead of 60, no complaints there). i was getting sick of liquid foundation looking like it's disappeared by the end of the day.

i like it so far. it stays on much longer, because sometimes when i take my makeup off at night i can see it on the wipe. i love the warmth stuff. it's dark without being obnoxious. a little dash of that goes a long way, and i don't look so ghostly in photos. i like how it feels on my face as opposed to liquid foundation.

i'm not sure if it's just winter coming, but i've noticed that in the past couple of weeks (when i started using it), my skin has been very dry. i have no problem with moisturizing more but it's a little annoying having flaky skin when i can't get to my moisturizer. like right now my forehead is absolutely terrible.

my advice - try it at the store, see how you like it throughout the day before buying it.
