Bare Minerals makeup is a bit pricey. Good alternative mineral make up?

One that is a bit cheaper but still works well?Bare Minerals makeup is a bit pricey. Good alternative mineral make up?
I think you are better off with Bare Minerals. Sheer Cover is relatively inexpensive and just as good. Are you talking about Neutrigina? I love that brand so they probably make good stuff too.Bare Minerals makeup is a bit pricey. Good alternative mineral make up?
Physicians Formula. I've been using it for a few weeks and noticed a difference right away. It was about $10 or $11 at Target.





Make sure it's ';Talc-Free';. It's a lot better for your skin. Apply with a big brush, the brush it comes with is very small.
Bare Naturale by L'Oreal is supposed to be a good alternative.
I asked the same question not too long ago, I was told to try Physicians Formula. It works awesome!! Buy the kind that's says talc free. I've found the $$ ones have this in them and make my face appear shiney. I love the powder foundation, and the bronzer. Get it! Get it a Walgreens or Walmart, runs about 10 bucks.
physicians formula is awesome

Sheer cover mineral makeup is like a cheaper version of bare minerals
I personally think that Bare Minerals is worth the money. It lasts a long time (both in the jar and on your face) and it is natural. I have tried some of the ones that have come out recently (high end and low end) and still go back to Bare Escentuals. If you are going to spend money on one makeup item - it should definitely be on your foundation.


Good luck!! :)
Everyday Minerals is great.

(go to custom kits)
For 32.00 you can buy the most awesome mineral liquid powder foundation made by Bee Luscious Cosmetics, the best thing is that it does last so the price is not as bad. Mine so far is going on 6 months .....

aromaleigh.com has good mineral makeups if you don't have dark skin. i also use physician's formula from the drugstore but the colors aren't as good.

    Physicians Formula. Its not expensive %26amp; its easy to find at Target, WalMart, CVS, Walgreens, etc.





    There's no ingredients in Physicians that can cause an allergic reaction. Its Dermatologist recommend. I have used their mineral makeup because I breakout %26amp; have itchy burning skin with other minerals~~ It's probably from the bismuth in them.

    I use Bareminerals currently, and it works o.k.


    But, as soon as I'm out I'm switching to Mary Kay.


    I had a ';free makeover'; at a bridal store, and it is absolutely wonderful!


    Plus, my Bareminerals costs me about 35 bucks for an itty bitty container, and the Mary Kay stuff is only 18.
    i like the maybeline one, it does a few adverts on the tele, it gives me good even coverage, and its easyt to apply as ytou dont have to worry about foundatiuon lines, and you just sweep over face. its about 8 or 9 pounds i think ??











    xo
    Bare Minerals,


    Its great, but im not sure on how much it costs.





    BeforeI used Neutrogena's,


    its sold in most drugstores


    and it works almost as well as Bare Minerals.
    Urban Essentials minerals are pretty good.





    BareMinerals is the best, but it's kind of expensive
    The NYC brand isn't too expensive. But then again , you get what you paid for!

    Opinions on Philosphy v. Urban Decay Mineral Make-Up?

    I have been using Philosophy the Supernatural mineral make up, and am generally pretty happy with it, but Urban Decay makes a similar product that is about $10 cheaper. Has anyone out here used both, and have a preference? ThanksOpinions on Philosphy v. Urban Decay Mineral Make-Up?
    Well I loved Urban Decay. I used philosophy but it was just kinda average. Urban Decay covors the pores and makes them less noticable. Plus it has awesome covorage, and lasts all day. Also it is very light. I would suggest you try it out.





    go to an ULTA try it out =]Opinions on Philosphy v. Urban Decay Mineral Make-Up?
    i have some questions about philosophy makeup.. can i talk to you about it?





    and i havent tried either, so sorry!

    Anybody here who has tried loreal mineral make-up?

    is it good? how do you rate it? is it better than ordinary revlon, maybelline or mary kay make-ups?Anybody here who has tried loreal mineral make-up?
    Unfortunately I broke out and it didn';t cover well would not suggest it at allAnybody here who has tried loreal mineral make-up?
    Mineral foundations are good for your skin, light, oil absorbing, natural looking, won't clog your pores and work great. L'Oreal is a good one and has a great color selection. If you decide to try it, purchase it at CVS. If you get the wrong shade or decide you don't like it you can exchange it or get your money back (just keep your receipt) so you have nothing to lose.
    yes its alright just choose the right color! i chose the wrong one and it looked horrible but then i gave it to my sis and it looked flawless because it matched her complection

    Which mineral make up is the best?

    Does mineral foundation work better than liquid foundation? i wanna know cuz i always buy foundation but it looks cakey or too light for my skin. i don't know how much money ive wasted on the wrong make up that i don't wear. please ladies helpWhich mineral make up is the best?
    BARE MINERALS! .. I know it doesnt look like it would cover much because it is a powder but I have been using this product for about 2 years now and I absolutely LOVE it. It covers so evenly and looks so natural. You can get the ';Starter pack'; online for like 50 bucks. That includes all of the brushes you will need, 2 shades of foundation, bronzing powder, Mineral Veil, Skin- rever-upper, and and instuctional DVD. you should really try it. Someone recomended it to me and i fell in love. It works with any skin tone. Good Luck Sweetie.. BreeWhich mineral make up is the best?
    SheerCover works great. I love this stuff and have used it for 5 years, and it's great for sensitive skin, won't clog pores, therefore it won't break your skin out with acne. I have also tried the BareMinerals, but I found that it looked a little cakey. SheerCover contains Micca which gives your face a glow. A starter kit is only $39.73 (taxes, shipping %26amp; handling included)
    AVON has a version line of mineral make-up that is inexpensive compared to other brands. It's regular retail is $10 but it is often on special, for example right now if you buy any make-up and/or brush you buy one get one at $1.99. Plus they have 100% satisfaction guarantee so if your not happy you can return it and get your money back or exchange it for something else.





    It's as good if not better than Bare Minerals (read the reviews on the items at the link provided below)
    I use a brand called Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Makeup. It is about $11 for the powder foundation. That is what I wear and surprisingly it is very good at covering everything.
    Everyday Minerals. its wayyyy better than any other kind i have tried....that includes:Bare Minerals, Sheer Cover, Pur Minerals and loreal.





    i also heard Physicians Formula was good, so give that a try too.
    BARE MINERALS by far. I love the way it makes me feel and even without makeup, my skin glows because it is healthier now then it has ever been! I have never had so much fun applying my makeup in the mornings!
    Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!
    BareMinerals is definately the best. For your skin, and it really works and look great natual

    Why don't you try finding Bare Minerals on eBay? Lots of brand name items go for well under retail price on eBay.
    I have been using kms mineral essentials for over a year now and I can鈥檛 say enough good things about them!





    I used to use Bare Minerals but it got too expensive. I was


    hoping to find another brand that gave me the same results without costing so much and I found it in kms. I found out that all mineral makeup is not alike too. A lot of them have fillers and other ingredients considered to be irritating to the skin. This brand mineral makeup is all natural, has has a built-in sunscreen, and is very long wearing. Even on a hot day I don鈥檛 have to touch up my makeup!





    Their customer service is great and I always get my products quickly. They have free samples and even have an optional makeup club you can join so you never have to worry about running out! You should check them out at www.kmsmineralessentials.com.

    What is the meaning of mineral make up?

    saw so many people asking the mineral make up. what is thatWhat is the meaning of mineral make up?
    Mineral makeup is the latest addition to an emerging beauty culture dedicated to better living. Mineral makeup can cause problems the same as any other preparations can cause problems. Unlike traditional products, mineral makeup, which is based on a hypoallergenic loose powder that naturally nourishes the skin, contains no perfumes, talc, alcohol, dyes, mineral oil or preservatives. One of the factors that makes mineral makeup so popular is the smooth, natural, long-lasting coverage - a feat that’s some companies accomplish by pulverizing or “micronizing” their minerals into microscopic or even nanoparticle size. Minerals like zinc and titanium are safe when applied to healthy skin but in a micronized nanoparticle form, there remains a concern, particularly when applied to damaged skin. Mineral makeup doesn’t support the growth of bacteria, and therefore mineral cosmetics are less likely to become contaminated than other makeup types.

    I have freckles and dark color under my eyes.My skin is not oily. I'm confused! I'm looking for a mineral make up but I couldn't decide which one.What is the best (sheer cover, bare mineral, or what)and how much does it cost? where can I find it? What do they mean by free trial? do I pay or it's really free?


    Also, I'm looking for a lip gloss that is lightly orange or peach color where can I find it please?Does mineral make up cover freckles?what is the best?
    Personaly I don't care for minenal make up I don't think it covers as well as liquid.Does mineral make up cover freckles?what is the best?
    I use Bare Minerals too ....i love it! I use the foundation for my light skin and the concealer for the redness around my nose and dark circles. Warmth is good for the overall glow for your face and their blushes last all day too. The Mineral Veil really does give your face an airbrushed look. I have oily skin and I hardly break out any more----I guess all that MAC, Christian Dior, Chanel , Lancome makeup had too much gunk in it for my sensitive skin b/c I would break out all the time.


    Almay I heard is supposed to be good to your skin too, but i haven't tried it. But you can get Almay in the drugstore.





    Benefit cosmetics has really cute lipgloss and I have one that is a light orange/peachy color. But you can save money again and go to the drugstore for lipgloss.
    You can find lipgloss in any color in your drugstore. I like wet'n'wild's products. For mineral makeup, I use bare minerals. And I think it's the best one out there... sheer cover was originally made to cover scars and big imperfections, so you'll get a heavier coverage. Bare minerals is light and has a creamy finish. Here's the link:


    http://bareminerals.com/


    It can be expensive, depending on what you want to buy. I think the starter kit (which has everything you should need) is *two easy payments!* of $29.99. ;D


    Hope that helps. ;)





    Edit: The person below me was right in saying most mineral makeup (sheer cover is the exception) won't cover as well as liquid, but bare minerals is much healthier for your skin. It's made with about five natural ingredients, and it's so good for your skin that you can sleep in it. I use liquid once in a while too, but I would generally go for minerals.

    chemical propertiesIf Mineral Make-up is ';all natural'; and doesn't use dyes, then how does it achieve the broad spectrum?
    different natural things, different kinds of plants make different colors, and changing the amounts of different things will lighten or darken the color.
    A mirror reflects color with out being that color an crystals can too.
    different minerals can be different colors of course!

    Is it ok to mix diff brands of mineral make up?

    i use bare essentails and i hate the color foundation i bought, but i dont want to spend the money on a new one. i was wondering if it is ok to mix their mineral vail and blush with physicians formula foundation. if i do will it make me break out? also i need a really good dark circle cream for under my eyes and i mean really good one, preferably from the drugstore i have really bad dark circles all the time! thank you so muchIs it ok to mix diff brands of mineral make up?
    yes you can definitely mix brands ...a concealer I like at the drugstore is Physician's Formula Circle RX or this one at targe from Boots No 7: http://www.target.com/Boots-No7-Radiant-鈥?/a>

    Does the new mineral make up seen on commercials work well?

    i just got it and so far i like it


    but it looks different on my face outside then what it looks like in the bathroomDoes the new mineral make up seen on commercials work well?
    Bare Minerals is the best makeup ive ever tried!! It looks totally natural and my complexion looks better than ever. Offers major coverage!!Does the new mineral make up seen on commercials work well?
    yeah lighting is crucial to make-up, generally it will look darker in the sun, so easy-does-it during the day. Night time is another story, you can go heavier.
    yes but be careful..I called about that and they want you to enroll in a automatic refill program charged to your credit card every month in order to get the advertised price..


    If you notice in the magazines, my favorites are InStyle and Lucky...tells you exactly what to get and wear.


    All the major companies are now launching their own mineral based makeup.


    depending on where you live, check out Sephora and Ulta stores....excellent.
    First, mineral makeup is just a genius marketing plan -- a new way of selling women the same ingredients that technically have been in makeup for years.





    Second, the reason why your face looks different is because you are in different light and fluorescent reflects differently then natural light.





    I wait and put my makeup on when I get to work, since I will be spending most of my day in that light.





    If you are looking for an all natural, no filler ';mineral makeup'; check out Nicole Miller. Her stuff is all natural and great!
    Yes! I have Sheer Cover, and i love it!


    It isnt a heavy wearing makeup, but it looks great on everyone!


    %26amp;the outside problem- i'm sure you just need to get used to it, because of the lighting or something!

    What is so great about mineral make up ?

    Read this:





    http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/feature鈥?/a>





    Pretty much explains it :)What is so great about mineral make up ?
    Most commercial make-up has alot of fillers (which clog your pores and increase blemishes) and alot of preservatives which are harmful to your skin and give some people allergic reactions (rashes etc.)





    The good thing about mineral make-up is that its actually GOOD for your skin! It covers just as well as non mineral make-up and is better for the enviroment.





    I use mineral make-up and completely natural make-up and it covers just aswell as any commercial brands.What is so great about mineral make up ?
    Nothing !


    I hate it hate it hate it.


    I have no acne but i do have acne scars, i've tried a LOT of mineral makeup and none of them looks as smooth and perfect as liquid does for me.





    MAC makes wonderful liquid foundations.
    Mineral makeup, when made with the right ingredients, does not clog your pores. In addition, it contains ingredients such as Zinc Oxide which has healing properties for skin with acne or rosacea, along with offering some natural protection from UV rays. They also contain Titanium Dioxide which has some natural SPF properties.





    When looking for a mineral makeup, look for one that does NOT contain fillers, skin irritants, or ingredients that can clog your pores, such as Bismuth, cornstartch, talc. Also a good mineral makeup should not contain any preservatives or chemicals





    A good mineral makeup to try is at http://www.affordablemineralmakeup.com/crystalneedy.html
    It covers a lot, plus it's made from earths minerals I think, so it is really good for your skin and doesn't clog pores.
    The fact that it's natural and its a lot better for your skin than liquid foundation but I like liquid foundation more because i dont have to reaply it as much and it covers my uneven skin tone better!

  • Why am I breaking out ? Which product Clinique skin care or Bare mineral make up ??

    Since I used CIinique 3step for (#3) oily combination skin + Even Better, also I used Bare mineral make up during the day. Now I breakout plus have some small bumps around my cheek and chin(When I squeeze it white stuff comes out ) . I don't know which product makes me breakout and some small bumps, Clinique or Bare mineral ??? which one i have to stop used ?Why am I breaking out ? Which product Clinique skin care or Bare mineral make up ??
    A Clinique technician would tell you that the you are having breakouts because their system is working and cleaning out the pores.





    Personally, I have known people who have had great success with both the Murad and the Proactiv products.Why am I breaking out ? Which product Clinique skin care or Bare mineral make up ??
    i know a lot of ppl that broke out from using the clinique 3 step so i recommend not using that one first. i use bare minerals and i absolutly LOVE it!!!


    ps dont touch your face at all, it makes bacteria spred and causes even more breakouts!!
    both.


    don't wear makeup


    let everyone see the true you :)


    Sure you maybe more beautiful but if you really want people to see you for who you are then just don't wear makeup one day. If your freinds are still your friends then they don't care how you look. I don't wear makeup and I feel like the most beautful person because I know that if the girls who wear maekup right now, don't look so pretty without it. Well only if they wear it a lot. I hope I didn't bore you. I hope I taught you a lesson. :):)
    clinique the white stuff is actually fat that what stored and was let out by the makeup...
    Its probably bareminerals. I used to have that same problem I'm not sure why, but after a while it went away.
    Ok the white stuff is not fat (WHAT?) It is oxidized sebum or oil that has been trapped. Make sure that you are using the Dramatically Different GEL and not the lotion because the gel is oil free and oil absorbing. If you have not been using the 3 step for at least two weeks, wait it out, there is an adjustment period. You can use a gentle scrub on the whiteheads, but don't use it on active breakout (red pimples).
    Most certain it is the Bare Minerals this is because of the high bismuth content it clogs your pores and creates very hard to get rid of acne. I do not have personal experience with Clinique 3 step. But I can suggest a great alternative company that has truly unique products that truly WORK.

    The Clinique 3 step ruins skin. Check out Acne.org. My skin has never looked better since I started their regimen.

    i use bare escentuals....but ive also heard that sheer cover is good too....i love mine tho...Which mineral make-up is the best?
    I think the best brand is one that is a true pure mineral makeup that does not include talc or skin irritants. I have used many including bare minerals and have been really impressed with kms mineral essentials. It only contains the 5 essential ingredients necessary to make a mineral makeup, it is great at oil absorption and it wears well throughout the day and beyond. I love it.
    I use Bare Essentials, Ever since I started it my skin looks much better compared to what it was before. you can ether get the set what is $65 for the set what come with two foundation shades, mineral veil what helps absorbs up oil and shine, warmth what will give a boost to your complexion, Clear radiance what will had luminosity to you complexion, and you will also have the: Full Coverage Kabuki Brush, Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, Flawless Application Face Brush, bareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper. and a CD what will take you step by step of how to put on the mineral make up. You can purchase this at Sephora, Bare Essentials store or online.





    If you are tight for money, I have heard Mary Kay is good, Nutgrena is good as well.
    The truth is one specific brand will not work the same with all skin types. Personally I've tried Mary Kay and Arbonne and I like both of them. My advise to you is to try before you buy. I asked for samples from the brand consultants or you can go to stores like sephora or MAC where you can try them.

    Mineral make up that is actually ';ALL NATURAL';?

    Looking to find mineral make up that is all natural. A lot of brands say that they are all natural, then you read the labels and some list things like bismuth, and that is a well known chemical skin irritant. What has worked well for you?Mineral make up that is actually ';ALL NATURAL';?
    I'm pretty sure that BareMinerals is all-natural. Their slogan is ';makeup so pure you can sleep in it';, so it is heavily advertised as natural makeup. I've been using it for a while without problems and I have pretty sensitive skin.





    You can find more info at their website: http://www.bareminerals.comMineral make up that is actually ';ALL NATURAL';?
    https://www.everydayminerals.com/index.p鈥?/a>


    This is as pure as makeup gets. It also gives you your perfect shade. Also, you only pay shipping for a custom kit they give you! Also, considering the quality, it's also pretty cheap. Plus the foundation only has like, 5 ingredients.
    I am using kms mineral essentials. It is all-natural and bismuth free. Love it!
    I know its hard to understand, but bismuth is a naturally occurring mineral. So is Iron Oxide (for red color) and a host of other minerals.

    So what do you want? People often mistake the word 'natural' to automatically mean 'healthy.' Arsenic is natural. Maybe you should be looking for the words 'hypo-allergenic' instead.

    Why is mineral make up better than other kinds?

    what is the differences between mineral make up and Almay, maybelline, Neutragena etc. Why is it so popular? How does it help your skin.? is that what celebrities use to make their skin ';glow';, that shimmering healthy look I WANT!!Why is mineral make up better than other kinds?
    A decent mineral makeup is actually made up of 4-5 different minerals.


    A true mineral makeup (not drugstore brand that add other cheap filler ingredients) does NOT clog your pores like others above have said.


    They contain no talc, no oils, no dyes and no preservatives or fillers.


    They actually keep your skin clean because the minerals can shield your skin against bacteria.


    Minerals are inorganic materials. Inorganic material cannot enter the body through the skin, meaning it is completely impossible for them to clog your pores.


    Most contain an SPF 15-30 which does not break down as fast so you are protected throughout the day from the sun.


    They cover well without looking like makeup.


    Some cheap mineral makeup has particles that are too large and can irritate the skin.


    The drugstore brands add fillers and other preservatives. Be careful which brands you choose, they are not all created equal. From what I've seen any of the brands that dermstore.com seem good. colorescience.com explains mineral makeup very well if you'd like to study more.


    To get a good mineral makeup be prepared to spend quite a bit of money at first ($40-$60). In the long run it will actually be very affordable, because you use so little makeup, you'll probably only buy it twice a year.Why is mineral make up better than other kinds?
    Mineral make-up isn't all that hype. Mineral make-up clogs your pores and creates skin issues. People use it because they are tired of smearing on liquid make-up. They want that fresh natural look.


    Another thing about mineral make-up is after it is on your skin it's very heavy. I would suggest Max factor or maybeline. Those two have some really nice products. If you wanted a glowing complextion check out this place www.dhc.com they offer a wonderful array of cosmetics and skin care items that can really make your face shine like the stars!





    Good Luck!
    I used to use powder and liquid foundation and it would run and would look fake on my skin, mostly because its oily. Now I use the Bare Minerals line and I love it. I have had fewer breakouts using it than I did using liquid foundation, it doesn't run, and it looks more natural, at least on my skin. not to mention it is WAY faster to put on.
    Have you been watching those those infomercials? If so, let me tell you that that make up is impossible to blend plus it blotches up and gets into creases. All makeup is made with minerals, thats where the color comes from; all shades of brown are from iron oxides (commonly known as rust) which is what base and blush and concealer use as a primary colorant. The blue, green, red, pinks are from dyes but often they are mixed with mica and silicates to produce a shimmery finish. White eyeshadow is simply talc/chalk (another natural mineral) ; they add a little iron oxide to make it biege and a little more to make it brown. To make it shimmer they add the mica. See how it works...
    Because it is natural and contains less chemicals ,
    The mineral makeup doesn't contain talc, which REALLY clogs your pores. It also looks much more natural if you apply it correctly. I use the Physician's Formula Mineral Powder and it's exactly the same as Bare Minerals for a fraction of the price (around $10). You can get it in Wal-Mart. (Just make sure you don't put too much around the edges of your nose and your smile lines by your mouth b/c it will make it feel dry and look too powdery there.) My little sister's skin breaks out pretty bad when she wears foundation, but not when she wears the mineral powder and it looks really good on her. To get a healthy looking glow, use the mineral powder and then a bronzing powder on your nose and cheekbones for a sun-kissed glow. Good Luck. :)

    Supposedly mineral make up is made from natural minerals and is therefore healthier. Mostly it's just a marketing scam because if there is anything on your face, it's clogging your pores.





    And as for those celebrities' looks, it's called airbrush makeup. Caked on as thick as a pancake. You don't want it.
    more natural. to make your skin glow you should drink lots of water and eat healthy and good night sleep
    mineral powders are made with only 2 ingedients, zinc and titanium dioxide (which is just sunscreen.) minerals cannot penetrate your pores like other foundations so mineral makeup is 100% non comedogenic (non pore clogging) also, they have natural light reflecters in them which give you a dewy glow. Try urban decay surreal skin powders, they're amazing. available at sephora.
    Mineral makeup isn't made with oils and cremes and other things that sit on your face like frosting on a cake, and clog your pores. Non-oily, un-clogged pores is the foundation for healthy skin. Mineral makeup is natural minerals from the earth ground up into a powder form, and does bring out a natural ';glow'; to your skin.

  • What is the best MINERAL make up to use?

    For higher end, go for Bare Minerals. For drugstore, go for Physicians Formula.What is the best MINERAL make up to use?
    I have only tried Bare Minerals yet...I avoid wearing too much makeup...





    My expereince with bare minerals was good...just that I think I got a shade darker than the one I am suppose to wear...hecne my face kinda looks a bit dull after I apply the makeup...





    So when you buy your makeup....make sure you get the right shade...infact I wud suggest you got to a store like ULTA or Sephora...and try out the makeup there...before buying anything...





    Good LuckWhat is the best MINERAL make up to use?
    bare minerals, of course! that stuff is great because it is all natural and doesn't clog your pores and also is not animal tested. you can even sleep in it!
    bare minerals by bare escentuals is the best one i've found in over 28 years. it covers well, stays on all day, and looks %26amp; feels completely natural. the company invented mineral make-up 30 years ago, won awards with it (elle, allure, in-style, glamour, etc.). it is also the only brand recommended by the national skincancer foundation, because it is actually good for the skin. you can try it out for yourself at any ulta, sephora, macy's, or nordstrom store, to form your own opinion, before spending any money. you won't have that option with sheer cover (inferior, more expensive), everyday minerals, or bee luscious; those have to be ordered online, and paid for, sight unseen. the 25.00 foundation lasts me about one year, that's how little is needed.
    bare minerals or bare essentuals(same thing ) is the BEST make up i have EVER tried!!! Try it out and you WONT be sorry!!!
    Everyday Minerals.
    Sheer cover or Bare minerals!

    Are mineral make-up good for the skin?

    For those who have used mineral face powder/blush-on and eye shadow, were they skin-friendly?Thanks!Are mineral make-up good for the skin?
    Yes! I've used pressed powder for a long time until I discovered this stuff.


    The eyeshadow is really nice, if you get the glittery/shimmery stuff, it packs a lot of shine cuz of all the glitter particles!





    As for the powder foundation, I've been using it for like 5 years, I LOVE it. It gives you an airbrushed look and doesn't cake like pressed powder. It also lets your skin breathe unlike liquid makeup (which I tried once, HATED and never touched again).





    Plus, if you get the more expensive stuff, it can even be GOOD for your skin, as in nourish it.





    I highly suggest the mineral powder foundations!Are mineral make-up good for the skin?
    I'm in my 60's and have been using mineral make-up for years and years from base foundation (which never leaves lines and is so light weight you can't believe any is on) to eyeshadow to eyeliner, eyebrow filler and lipstick. A lot of companies put a sun screen in the foundation.
    Ohh yeah. They're the best.


    For foundation i definetly recommend Bare Minerals which just makes your skin feel great. (You can even sleep in it)


    It also feels natural and doesn't cake up.


    For eye shadows, they're also good because the colors are easy to blend together.
    yea doesn't feel like u have any make up on its it not cakey its nice and smooth!!

    Avon- Did they discontinue their original personal match mineral make up colors? I am looking for bisque.?

    And I cant find it any longer. I can find it on ebay and Amazon, but I wanted to know if they discontinued it, or renamed it. I need to get that color.Avon- Did they discontinue their original personal match mineral make up colors? I am looking for bisque.?
    yes they did rename it to ';Light Beige'; not Shell which used to be ';Almond';. They renamed the names back in C10.Avon- Did they discontinue their original personal match mineral make up colors? I am looking for bisque.?
    The name color has just changed it is now called shell

    If you have ever tried mineral make-up... Did you like it more than the liquid and are you still using it?

    What brand do you recommend and what are the downsides to using it? I'm debating on switching.If you have ever tried mineral make-up... Did you like it more than the liquid and are you still using it?
    I think it's okay if you have oily skin. I would not recommend it for dry skin because my skin is dry in the winter and it made it look really flaky. I prefer liquid.If you have ever tried mineral make-up... Did you like it more than the liquid and are you still using it?
    i love my mineral makeup. i use bare escentuals (yes that's how it's spelled) and i think it actually does cover well, not like a thick cake of makeup on your face. i always use the primer with it and it helps the foundation stay, and it makes it so even and smooth





    definitely get

    I used Id Bare minerals. I didnt like it too well. A lot of people say it breaks them out. It did not do that to me but didnt give me coverage like it claimed. I prefer liquid.
    I had an allergic reaction to it.


    There are mineral liquids out there if you want to try them instead?





    EDIT; not to one brand either. 5 different ones :)
    I dont like it. It doesnt cover good at all and it looks uneven to me. The eyeshadows are good but for the price I dont think its worth it.

    Is Bare Escentuals mineral make-up any good?

    So my skin is pretty clear, just a few red bumps here and there from dry skin. I LOVE the ';perfect, flawless'; skin look and i heard Bare Escentuals mineral foundation is really good and lasts awhile. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with it?Is Bare Escentuals mineral make-up any good?
    OMG i love Bare Minerals. i refuse to use anything else now. its so good for your skin and it feels really light on your face. its like those commercials for the broom.. once you try it ull never go back... Baby Come Baaaaack. omg lol im such a dorkIs Bare Escentuals mineral make-up any good?
    I was happy with the coverage, the color and the way it makes my skin feel. It is light and comfortable to wear. I have oily skin and it is one of the few brands of makeup that does not make my face breakout. I was very pleased to find a foundation that didn't clog my pores or irritate my skin.
    Ive been using it for about two years. It is sooooooo great! I love it. It really covers everything i want to hide and makes it look natural. It lasts a long time even though its expensive. One big thing of foundation lasts me about 6 months and costs i think like $30. Better than buying all sorts of crap from the pharmacy that clogs your skin!! =]
    ive had so many positive expeiernces,


    i deffenitely reccomend bare minerals,


    it stays on ; %26amp; makes your face loook flawless
    Yes, Yes, Yes
    yes absolutely love it. gives a great flawless look.

  • Is mineral make up better for your skin than oil based?

    .. HelpIs mineral make up better for your skin than oil based?
    mineral is sooooo much better for the skin! oil based products cause acne and thats not good.Is mineral make up better for your skin than oil based?
    Read the ingredients on your mineral makeup girls. There are chemicals in there. Go check! It's not ';natural';, that's a marketing scheme.





    Whether something is better for you depends on your skin type. A person with very dry skin may get irritated and flaky skin from mineral makeup. They may do better with a makeup that has some oil in it. Oil does not cause acne or pimples. The type of oil your skin produces can do it, because it can form waxy plugs. That is inherited from your parents. The other thing that causes pimples is bacteria. If you use makeup, including ';natural'; makeup, if you do not cleanse it off well every night, you will get pimples. Some people never get pimples from anything, and some get it from everything! That is because the third thing that causes breakouts is inflammation. If there is an ingredient you are allergic to in a makeup, you might not even know it but it will break you out. So the only way to know what is better for your skin is to try it. Don't just listen to the hype. Guess what's in bare escentuals natural makeup? Chemicals. If you don't believe me, go read the ingredients label yourself!
    so they say.............however I have not found this to be the case and having paid extra for mineral foundation I broke out in loads of pimples. In reality all this ';breathable'; make up labelling is just a money making device. Make-up in general is bad for your skin but as long as u wash it off at night it;s ok
    Of course its better for your skin. You are clogging up your pores with all that oil and chemicals in the oil based make ups. Plus those make ups are impossible to wash off completely. Bare minerals is very good. You don't even feel like you have make up on and it lets your skin breathe and heal.
    Mineral make-up is better for your skin, because it lets it breath and wont block the pores.


    Oil based make-up will block pores and cause acne and blackheads.



    Agreed With The One Answer. All Makeup Is Bad But Mineral Doesnt Clog Up Pores As Bad As Oil Based Does. And MIneral Stays On Longer. Atleast Mine Does.
    YES, it lets my skin breath and is better for your skin. It's more healthy and won't clog pores. I use organic mineral powder, it's AMAZING!!
    YES! Oil based makeup can clog your pores and cause breakouts. Read the Web site below for all of the benefits of using mineral makeup.
    yes but its hard to keep on








    help http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a>
    yeah mineral is much better, oil clogs your pores, which causes to skin reactions. thats why when yon get face wash its oil-free
    yes, it is. Any oil based make up is not good for your skin. It will make you break out.
    mineral make up is better as it is made of natural products


    oil based are bad for your skin
    Yes by a mile!


    The best one is Bare minerals as I find this stays on better.


    Also oil based blocks your pores.
    oil based makeups are not good for you skin


    it cause acne.


    but mineral is really good
    the best one is bare minerals! They are awesome! I havent broken out in seven years! i absolutely love it!
    Yes.
    yeah, because it's moer natural. oils cause acne
    yes it is
    yes it is :)

    I want to know the pros and cons of mineral makeup and a review on mineral make up products?

    Mineral makeup is ideal for sensitive skin or skin that's prone to breaking out. It gives o.k coverage and is fairly quick and easy to apply. The best that I have tried is Bare Minerals.I want to know the pros and cons of mineral makeup and a review on mineral make up products?
    I've tried a couple kinds of Mineral m/up each person is different on what works best for them. The best I've found is Everyday Minerals they have 4 different kinds of finishes. Semi-Matte, Matte, Regular %26amp; a new one that has more coverage. You can also get a free kit just pay S%26amp;H. There prices are way more reasonable than Bare Escentuals %26amp; it works better for me too. EDM is $12 vs. BE's $25. It is kind of messy but it just like the feel of it better than the heavy feel of liquids.I want to know the pros and cons of mineral makeup and a review on mineral make up products?
    I think this can help a bunch of long details reveiws on mineral makeup





    http://www.dermstore.com/reviews/details鈥?/a>
    the pros and cons are great because you get too review it on mineral make up products
    I love mineral makeup and for me the cons were the price and the inconvenient application- but now that L'Oreal has a mineral makeup with a convenient applicator- I say try it- you'll love it
    Mineral Makeup is great because it feels so light and it doesn't break me out. And it doesn't melt down like other makeups





    The bad thing is that it will ';cake up'; when you wear too much and it doesnt seem to blend well with my concealer. They are better worn in the winter cause in the summer, it makes me look very pale and dried out. But as far as keeping the skin clear, it works!
    umm ask a pro not unoknown peeps k luv ya bu
    I just purchased bare minerals and have been using it for a couple of days now. It's pretty good, except I don't feel it covers freckles too well, but it does feel light and gives you a natural look.
    I love it! Go to www.everydayminerals.com for a free sample.


    Pros:


    It's great for you skin, makes you look so natural, and it is so fast and simple to put on


    Cons:


    It's a little more expensive than regular makeup, it can be messy to put on because it's all powders, and if you put on too much it looks cakey (but you can always just blend it in)


    The concealers are amazing. I'd never think they could cover so well, but they do!
    Go to www.arbonne.com! I use their mineral makeup! Its a little tricky to put on at first because a little really goes along way and I was used to needing to apply a lot more. If you use more than a tiny bit at a time when applying it can kind of clump up and look blotchy. It is very lightweight and gives full coverage without looking or feeling like wou are wearing a makeup mask...ick





    It doesn't clog my pores either, since I've been using it, I can sleep in my maeup and not break out. I also use a great skin care line from arbonne that helps too.





    My fiance has commented on how much better he likes it because he says I look more natural like I have a glow instead of makeup on my face. I like it because i have a lot of uneveness in my skin from acne scars, sun dammage etc, and I can look natural and flawless at once
    I've never used them. I would like to know as well.
    it's one of the best out there,for all skin types.prices are high but it goes a long way and is wonderfull and it feels good to.
    Trendy topic!
    The pros are that your skin won't feel like it has makeup on it and I guess people feel good that they're using minerals...this isn't revolutionary...talc is a mineral as is petroleum jelly!!





    The cons are that they are messy to apply, don't do much for large pores or wrinkles, and if you have any dry patches at all it's like putting them under a magnifying glass. I didn't know that my face was dry until I put these on!





    I have tried Bare Escentuals, and other than the outrageous price and silly list of ';essential'; products just to get a bare look, it is full of mica and very sparkly, especially in natural light. So it will be quite obvious you've got ';something'; all over your face. It also doesn't blend very well.





    L'Oreal Bare Naturale isn't sparkly and does seem to blend fairly well, but this one was worse about accentuating dry spots.





    IMHO, ';mineral makeup'; is a fad, and most is no better or worse for you than a regular foundation. And you should still wash your face every night!!
    Well ladies, I don't know much about mineral makeup but I do know about Mary Kay makeup. I'm a consulant and I would love to share my products with you. I have a website where you can look at my products and let me know what you would like to try. I'll send you some samples and we'll go from there!!

Also it doesn't actually feel like you are wearing any makeup. It gives you good coverage but like any mineral makeup you first put a sheer layer on then just gradually keep applying until u reach the coverage that u want. also its quite reasonable in price too cos u don't use alot of product %26amp; i find it lasts along time. i started using it about 6months ago %26amp; will never use anything else again.Has anyone used nude by nature mineral make up?

    That's Micabella. They have a booth at the mall. I think it's really neat how the eyeshadow can be used for all that. I bought a few shades. I generally only use them as eyeshadow but I did try one as a lipgloss. It has a weird texture though. I also used it as eyeliner. I really like it because they are really glittery.

    Mineral make up 'n cosmetics; is it for acne prone complexions?

    I'm not familiar with it. What is a good cosmetic line for aging/dry skin?Mineral make up 'n cosmetics; is it for acne prone complexions?
    I have used the Bare minerals brand of make up for 5 years. I am not affiliated with their company in any way but I am a huge fan. I get a compliment on my skin at least once everyday. I use the skin rev-er upper moisturizer under the foundation and it stays on all day. Previously I suffered from adult onset acne. Regular liquid make up really is a vicious cycle. You use more to cover up and the more you use the worse the blemishes are. If you are thinking about it I would recommend that you try it and at least see what you think. There is a brand on EBay that is super cheap called Mountain Minerals my sister is allergic to the bismuth in Bare Minerals so she uses it, and has also had great results.





    Good Luck!!Mineral make up 'n cosmetics; is it for acne prone complexions?
    absolutely, its THE best for acne prone skins because its all natural. it wont irritate or clog your skin and with the mineral base being natural its actually healing for your skin. Check the ingredient list thogh, especially Bare Essentials because their powder contains Bismuth- a really nasty chemical and if the any company makes a compact powder RUN because it needs a base of Dimethicone to make it set as a compact. this stuff is really bad and has cancer causing properties. After searching for months I found an Aussie brand called chimare mineral makeup who are 100% natural and organic. My skin has cleared up so much since I started using it- even my boyfriend comments on how good my skin looks!





    www.chimaremakeup.com
    I use Bare Minerals but you can get cheaper stuff out there that can do the trick, it's up to you how much you spend. You can find what i use at Sephora if you have one near you if not look it up online, otherwise stores are always selling the stuff! It leaves your skin FLAWLESS. The key to it really is just good hydration of the skin and then applying the powders in the correct order and practice of course. Use a good moisturizer everyday like Aveeno Daily Moisturizer. I swear by it! Mineral cosmetics aren't meant for acne prone skin only but the do help because they are non-comedogenic [they don't clog your pores or aggravate your skin]





    If anything start off with something that's not so expensive and if you like it try better brands and so forth till you find what works for you :)





    Best of luck!
    Make-Up Tips for your Skin, Nails, Eyes and Face





    Always apply foundation after seeing your reflection in the mirror in a natural light. The shade of the foundation should always match with the original skin tone....





    http://www.facenbodycare.com/make_up_tip鈥?/a>
    As long as the mineral cosmetics are all natural, it is safe for those with acne.





    I use kms mineral essentials which is an all natural makeup. I am in my forties and I love that no one can tell. :) It covers well and lasts me throgh the day, has built in spf protection, and absolutely does not cost a fortune.





    All mineral cosmetics can be drying, so if you tend to be dry like me, just be sure to apply moisturizer before applying the minerals and you should be fine.





    Good luck.

    You can get 5 FREE samples from everydayminerals.com and all you do is pay for shipping which is like only $3.





    Sample sizes are usually ~$2.50 each so basically it's like a $15 value for free. i really recommend you go get them. i myself have tried them too and they work very very well. i absolutely love them. All you do is go onto everydayminerals.com and click on custom kits. scroll down and it's the very first kit on the list. it's called: Free Sample Makeup Kit FREE! Then you choose 5 colors of either foundation/concealers or whatever and drag it into your kit which shows on the right side of your check out cart.





    it's very easy and free. only a $3 shipping fee.











    10pts? ^-^MINERAL MAKE-UP! Where can i get a free sample, to see if it works,, so i can by some?
    I know that Ulta (http://ulta.com) sales one of the more popular ones, BareMinerals, and they actually do a demo on your face in store so you can see how you like it.





    If you don't have an Ulta near you, then I would buy a more inexpensive mineral makeup such as Physicians Formula (I have used theirs for over a year a love it) or any of the others such as CoverGirl, Maybelline or Loreal.





    No matter what your skin type, the mineral makeup works well if you apply it evenly according to the directions on the package. A huge fluffy Kabuki brush works best to apply, but sometimes the makeup comes with a brush you can use.
    Idk if sephora is still doing this but when you purchase and item from their store you can receive a free bare minerals sample. I personally love bare minerals because its very light and non oily. I am not a big makeup wearer i like to keep everything very light and this is the best mineral makeup ever.
    www.everydayminerals.com


    You can get free samples, you get 3 foundation shades, 1 concealer, and one blush. But you have to pay shipping which is about 3-4 dollars. And the sample sizes are very generous, i've had mine for 2 weeks, and i'm not even half way through the container.

    Whats a good cheaper brand of mineral make-up ?

    bare minerals broke me out bad, i like mineral make up whats a another good brand to try?Whats a good cheaper brand of mineral make-up ?
    Everyday minerals. It's really close to the quality of Bare Minerals but doesn't contain Bismuth oxychloride (the ingeredient in bare minerals and alot of other mineral makeups that break people out). It's cheaper than bare minerals too, in fact, they will send you a free sample kit with 3 foundations, 1 blush, and 1 concealor in sample sizes, you just have to pay for shipping ($3-4). Buy from everydayminerals.com





    I wouldn't reccomend drugstore mineral makeup because almost all of those brands contain bismuth oxchloride, which is most likely the ingredient that broke you out.Whats a good cheaper brand of mineral make-up ?
    I love kms mineral essentials. I had the same problem with bare minerals too! Kms is an all natural product that doesn't contain the ingredient that I am sensitive to, and it costs much less than Bare Minerals. Love it!
    If bare minerals broke you out bad then definately high street brands will.





    Bare minerals is natural minerals unlike the others on the high street.

    Maybelline liquid Mineral power is really good. I've tried the Physicians formula one and I don't like it at all. I've heard the L'Oreal one and the Revlon one are also pretty good. Good luck!
    I recommend for you not to go with the cheapest makeup. They trend to lack on ingredients that would help your skin, or they make have irritant ingredients. I suggest you to look up a few websites and read what benefits they have for your skin. Try to check out Sheer Cover!
    Kms Mineral Essentials. It is all the quality of a pure mineral makeup. It just doesn't break your wallet!
    what about Avon they do some good stuff and fairly cheap

  • What exactly is mineral make-up?

    I'm very new to make-up and wanted to know what's this mineral make-up I see and read about. Is the physicians formula a good brand?What exactly is mineral make-up?
    It's made with minerals and won't damage your skin. And yes physicians formula is very good and makes your skin look soft. Just make sure to choose the right shade or it will look cakey.What exactly is mineral make-up?
    Its a natural make-up made from, minerals. So its better for your skin. Ive never used the mineral makeup from physicians formula so i cant really say.
    o its full of vitamins and antioxidents good for your skin and yeah physicians formula is good i use it it doesnt clog your pores
    Make up derived from minerals which is healthy for your skin. Most other makeup is made out of fat and grease and yucky stuff that clogs your pores.

    Do u have to use the kabuki brush when applying mineral make up?

    wont a normal brush do the job?Do u have to use the kabuki brush when applying mineral make up?
    No, you can use the flawless face brush too, I like it better anyway. I dont use trhe kabuki brush, its too harsh.Do u have to use the kabuki brush when applying mineral make up?
    I'm sure they sell dome-type brushes in CVS or any local drugstore and beauty supply store
    I think you should - as it helps blend in the product. You can get a nice one at Selfridges, London for about 拢25.
    you can use a dome brush or a flat head brush as well. any brush that allows you to buff the makeup onto your skin will do.

    Has anyone tried Sheercover mineral make up?

    Is it any good and does it really cover flaws like sunspots?


    Does it last all day?Has anyone tried Sheercover mineral make up?
    I've tried it and I liked it but Bare Escentuals is so much better. It covers everything, it totally changed my life. If you give Bare Escentuals a try, I recommend you buy it on qvc because you get 30 days to try it and if you don't like it you can send it back and get your money back no questions asked. Its a great way to try new makeup and in the end you wont lose.





    Good Luck!!Has anyone tried Sheercover mineral make up?

  • Maybelline new york Mineral make up?

    Have you ever tried this make up? Do you like it?Maybelline new york Mineral make up?
    I love to use mineral foundations as they are light on the skin and blend well, but the maybelline one didnt do either of those things for me. It didnt blend very well and looked uneven, but MAC have a really great one that i love and use all the time now!Maybelline new york Mineral make up?
    I have tried it, and it's ok. It's very sheer, but also builds up in a strange sort of way. I don't know if it's that way for everyone, but I don't personally recommend it lol
    Yes I have tried it and it looks cakey and unnatural. I would recommend Mac mineral makeup. It is a little more expensive at $25, but works much better.
    i hate it.


    i bought it and it dosnt work at all.


    i use it as a bronzer over my foundation now..


    lol but it barely shows up:/

    Should I buy mineral make up?

    I never used mineral make up but I heard its better for the skin and it works really well. If you have used it before or know some who has and seen it tell me what you think of it. The pros and cons and how well is the coverage?Should I buy mineral make up?
    ok i have to say i just started using mineral make up a few days ago.... and wow! I went to ulta and was looking around and a girl that works there started trying things on me. She tryed Pur Minerals and I was amazed!! Now let me just say.... i have terrible terrible skin. I have a lot of acne and i mean a lot. All she did was dust some Pur Minerals 4 in 1 foundation on my face and everything was gone. You couldnt see any of my acne and it was amazing. It felt like i had nothing on and it took like 2 seconds to put on. The coverage is a thousand times better than bare minerals. bare minerals doesnt cover anything. But this is amazing and it feels like there is nothing on ur face, but it loooks incredible and covers everything. But, the lady that worked at ulta did not use the Pur Minerals ';chizzle brush';. Instead she used the ';Bare Minerals Heavenly Face Brush';. I asked her why she didnt just use the brush that went with it and she said it gives a lot more coveraage.....which it does! The heavenly face brush is expensive...30 dollars....but it lasts forever and works very well with the product to give great coverage!!! I dont reccomend to get the starter kit for the pur minerals because it is kind of pointless. But right now at Ulta they are having a buy one get one free deal for the pur minerals which is a great deal because for one foundation it is 25 dollars so if u go to ulta you can get 2 for one! its a great deal and make sure u buy the heavenly face brush bc its totally wotrth it!! And this is coming from someone with terrible skin!!! there are no cons its allllll good!! I hope u try it!! good luck!!! :)Should I buy mineral make up?
    I use bareminerals and it's worked great for me. It feels light, like I'm not wearing any makeup. The only thing is I'm using the lightest shade and it still doesn't match my skintone (it makes my face darker) so I have to use some on the collarbone/neck area. The coverage is really nice though, I naturally have slight rosacea and redness in the face and with the makeup on my skin is very even.
    I haven't actually bought mineral makeup, but the lady @ the Bare Escentuals counter applied mineral foundation on me and the coverage is very light. It's not bad, but I only recommend it for people with oily skin who don't need much coverage.
    i use mineral makeup it works really good, its also much better 4 your skin and the coverage is excellent.
    yes its very nice and natural makeup. i dosnt damage skin, but its a little expencive

    Where does mineral make-up come from?

    Where does a mineral rock for mineral make-up come from?


    I know that mineral make-up comes from a pulverizied mineral rock but was does the mineral rock come from, like where do you find these rocks? Is it the same as going outside and finding rocks then pulverizing them yourself. I would think that these rocks are toxic.Where does mineral make-up come from?
    Most Mineral makeup is made from naturally occurring minerals such as titanium dioxide, mica powder, serecite and iron oxides that have been used in cosmetics for thousands of years. Minerals are mined from around the world, purified, %26amp; crushed into fine powders.


    Titanium Dioxide:





    This is a natural anti- inflammatory agent and a natural sunscreen.


    You still may want to use a sunscreen to prevent sun damage.


    Titanium can help reduce irritation and redness.


    Zinc Oxide:





    This mineral is a naturally occuring sunscreen.


    When added to makeup, it provides natural resistance to harmful UV rays.





    Iron Oxide:


    A naturally occurring mineral used for creating color.





    Serecite:


    This is a colorless mica.


    It is also used in setting or finishing powders.


    It looks white in color, but goes on clear %26amp; adds to the water resistance and fade proof qualities of makeup.





    Kaolin Clay:


    Kaolin is a very mild fluffy clay which is safe for all skin types including dry, sensitive skin.


    Kaolin has soothing properties and is ideal for sensitive skin.


    It has great covering ability, is able to absorb fats from the skin, refines pores %26amp; helps clear up breakouts.





    Pearl Powder





    Absorbs oils %26amp; Impurities. Keeps skin clear %26amp; smooth, leaving it with a radiant glow.


    Pearl powder filters the sun's rays. It contains 20 amino acids.


    Pearl powder contains a natural moisturizer and proteins which can help renew skin cells.


    Pearl powder can help to prevent pigmentation by slowing down the development of melanin which controls color pigments of the skin.Where does mineral make-up come from?

    Bare Minerals is really good. But you can start out with Alima. You can go to their website and order some samples. This is their website:


    https://secure.alimacosmetics.com/index.鈥?/a>
    i like sheer cover


    but i know that bare minerals is great too


    go to ulta.com
    Bare Minerals is a really good product. I have acne-prone skin and Bare Minerals has really helped to control shine and breakouts.
    i like PurMinerals it is just like bareMinerals but cheaper!





    o yea and PurMinerals is pressed Bareminerals is a powder nut they both work like magic
    I use bare minerals. Its awesome!
    any kind
    Depending on the money you wish to spend there is a lot of choices.


    First off if you have sensitive skin or you are prone to breakouts I would recommend GloMinerals it doesn't contain talc and it has zinc to help control oil. Caleel+Hayden Dist. Denver, CO 80202 . (You can find it at Beauty First Stores)


    My next choice would be Bare Minerals, the mineral make-up is non pore clogging. Bare Minerals is a store and you can get it at Sephora stores.


    Good luck!!!!

    Should I buy Covergirl Mineral Make-Up or Bare Minerals?

    I've been wanting to try Bare Minerals for years, but can't bring myself to spend the money. Now I see that CoverGirl has a Mineral Make-up product, and they are my usual make-up brand. I want to try the CoverGirl stuff, but it's $11 dollars for the foundation. If I'm going to spend $11 should I just spend double that and try Bare Minerals?





    Has anyone used both products and can make a comparison?Should I buy Covergirl Mineral Make-Up or Bare Minerals?
    bare minerals it is far better for your skin and the nice thing is if you can get to a sephora store or bare minerals boutique you can try it out before you buy it and if you don't like it you can bring it back and get a full refund. Not to mention bare minerals has tons more options also FYI one person made a comment with QVC I wouldn't go with them as you need a credit card and you get locked into paying,this happened to a friend of mine and caused her a lot of frustration in getting it worked out. If you go to the actual bare minerals website they have a payment system/club that they offer as well and this way you are buying directly from bare minerals not from QVC. But you best bet is still going into either Ulta cosmetics store,sephora or the bare minerals boutique to try it on not to mention they have easier returns as well.Should I buy Covergirl Mineral Make-Up or Bare Minerals?
    i have the maybelline new york mineral foundation its about $10 and i love it. it works wonders for me, so i wouldnt even dream of spending twice as much for something that i think would do the same thing..its really your choice..if you want to spend less money try covergirl (or maybelline) and see if you like it...if you dont want to chance not liking it then go with the bare minerals.
    I love Bare Eccentials make-up you are able to sleep in the stuff.


    But if I were you go to qvc.com and look under beauty, they have kits that you can buy on line and have the payments broken up, also with the kits you get the brushes and if you don't like you can return.
    I have tried the covergirl mineral make up and really dont like it.


    I use bare minerals atm and i think it is my fave make up i have ever tried....and i have tried quite a few because i am a make up artist.

    it wont clog your pores and would look chalky or too powdery
    Hi! I am a makeup artist of 10 years in the Chicago area and I can tell you from experience, I have used Bare Escentuals in the past and I have derived a list of pros and cons for you.


    PROS*


    -it covers fairly well


    -hides blemishes fairly well (although it is quite shiny which can accentuate blemishes)


    -is more natural than drugstore/mainstream brands of foundation





    CONS*


    -it is not as natural as they say, they say no preservatives but if you flip over the mineral veil, it has the worst preservatives out there, paraben preservatives that have links to cancers


    -it looks very greasy on oily skin (almost like your face is sweating) this can be a problem for those who have acne as shine acentuates blemishes


    -it can slide off during the day and needs to be reapplied frequently


    -they use a mineral that is well known to have a very high allergy rating, it is called bismuth oxychloride and has a cult like following of those who experience, rash, acne and irritation from it.





    DRUGSTORE BRANDS- I always recommend to completley stay away from all drugstore brands as they are loaded with chemicals, fillers, irritating ingredients, that not only lok cheap, orangey and weird but also can wreak havoc on your skin causing breakouts, and oily/dry skin patches





    The best I have used, going for purity,long lasting, good coverage, good for your skin, health and enviroment is faerie organics minerals. They are more affordable than BE and are a far superior product with better coverage and finish. They also provide free sample kits so even those with a tight budget can try them out first. Their website is http://www.faerieorganic.com

    Has mineral make-up made your face look darker?

    I went and bought all the Bare Minerlas stuff and I have come to notice that after a few hours I applied the foundation my face starts to look darker. I dunno why because I used to use MAC and I never had that problem, so I'm back to using MAC now. I love their mascara and stuff, but I don't understand why the foundation makes my face look darker, anybody know?


    ThanksHas mineral make-up made your face look darker?
    I've used Bare Minerals for years and not had that problem. Not that it matters, as you've found a product you prefer but I would think that as the color is changing over time that it's the base you're putting it on interacting with the makeup. Were you letting your mositurizer soak in for 10 minutes before applying the make-up? I do know that you aren't supposed to apply it over moisturizer that you have just put on. If you ever want to go back to BE you might try a different moisturizer as well as using it right after washing your face and then wait 10-15 minutes before applying makeupHas mineral make-up made your face look darker?
    Your shade could be too dark... I don't like B.E. I found a drugstore brand that works way better! I was very surprised with how great of quality it is... I usually wear MAC but now I am sticking with Prestige Skin Loving Minerals makeup!





    If you're interested you can read my post titled, ';Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Review'; on my blog. Good luck with your makeup!
    It could be that you're using the wrong shade. I inherited my grandmother's white (not even a yellow or pink undertone) Irish skin. I have to order a special foundation online that matches my skin color.
    I am not sure why Bare MInerals looks dark on your face, I use Bare minerals as well and I have not had that problem. Maybe try using a different shade or mixing 2 shades together to get your perfect skin tone match.





    Good Luck, I hope I helped *_*

    Is mac make up good for your skin or mineral make up but people say mineral make doesnt cover anything?

    remember tv liesIs mac make up good for your skin or mineral make up but people say mineral make doesnt cover anything?
    Mac is not good for your skin, but it does cover. As for mineral make up some cover pretty well and some don't. Glominerals foundation covers very well, but lets say jane iredale foundation is more sheer but i use there concealer with it and it give a good amount of coverage. My friend used bare essentials and said it didn't cover well at all. Stick with liquid foundation and pressed powders they give the most coverage. Just a powder won't do.





    If you want to go natural (which honestly is the best because your skin can absorb up to 5lbs of make up a year) and want coverage i would go for the glominerals. Plus mac made me breakout.Is mac make up good for your skin or mineral make up but people say mineral make doesnt cover anything?
    mineral is better if you suffer from dry skin or achne but if your skin type is normal mac is a great product.
    mac works well for me, all my friends use it too
    mineral makeup isnt all tht great.


    it doesnt hide anything at all.


    i would kno from experience.


    i like mac better cause its for ppl all different colors.

But another thing you should know if you've got oily skin (if you didnt know already) is that you should always apply make-up w/ a sponge b/c our hands/fingers contain natural oils which doesn't help already oily skin on our face.

    What is it in mineral make-up that makes my face itch?

    i threw it away b/c of it. what a waste of money.What is it in mineral make-up that makes my face itch?
    its something called bismuth that is an irritant to skin. avid bare minerals fans have said its the brush hair you may be allergic to..which could be true. but bare minerals or bare escentuals..those mineralize foundations have bismuth which is a proven skin irritant. ive heard lots of stories of girls who use it for a year and suddenly break out like crazy. this girl with a makeup blog i can't rem her name right now was sayng how she had no acne problems until using bare minerals for like a year and she started breaking out at 22 for the first time.





    try mineralize skin finish from MAC, maybe that'll be better for you and its still kinda keeping in the mineral fam i guess. i use it..and have used it almost a year or so and i love it, have had no problems with my skin with it (and i have acne prone skin).What is it in mineral make-up that makes my face itch?
    I brought the same makeup and it did the same thing to me. I found if you use a good moisturizers on your face before using the powder it will not itch. I wish you did not through out your makeup because it is really good makeup. I have found that Walmarts has mineral makeup to. It is just as good.
    You are probably allergic to one of the ingredients.





    When purchasing a a cosmetic esp for face, test it first on ur arm and there is no reaction, you can safely buy it !

    Which foundation is better to wear - powders (mineral make up) or liquids?

    which ones do you think are better looking and better for the skin?Which foundation is better to wear - powders (mineral make up) or liquids?
    It all depends on your skin type. Dry- stay away from mineral. It will feel chalky on your skin. If your oily you probly will like it. Thats what my clients have told me at least. I am oily and I love bare essentials. But I also love Clinique superfit liquid. Your best bet is to have them tried on @ a dept store. Its free, its there job, and they always have free samples. Its the only way you will know whats best! Plus then you can check the color.Which foundation is better to wear - powders (mineral make up) or liquids?
    MAC powder foundation is THE best thg.u apply it %26amp; there wil b no need for anythg else.as it gives you nice coverage... Report Abuse

    Both are really good, but there are a couple things to think about. First, the season: liquids are better for the fall and winter months because they add extra moisture to your skin, minerals help skin stay clear in spring and winter and also have a lighter look to them (and you want to look more natural in the warmer months). Then, you have to remember your skin type, because minerals are probably better for breakout-prone skin because of, well, the minerals, and because it won't clog pores (which isn't as big of a problem in winter). That's about it, good luck!
    it really depends on your skin. i prefer mineral foundation.(powder) i used to use liquid and mousse until i started breaking out. then i switched to powder and to me it seemed to feel less cakey on the skin and looks much more natural. if you have alot of break outs i recommend to go with powder. if not then its up to you [:
    I prefer powder myself, I find it to be easier to put on and looks more natural. You gotta get the right powder -- I just started using Mac basic powder. I forget what the name is but it comes in a little black compact. It goes on so smooth and natural looking =)


    I went to a Mac outlet and they helped me find my color, I would recommend you do that too.
    powder usually works good for me sometimes I put a little liquid on top because I have dark bags under my eyes a lot. I like the the powder though it's so light and it doesn't leave any film on your face.
    Depends on your skin type and what kind of look you're going for. I always wear a liquid foundation then set it with mineral powder. (I have an uneven skin tone, so I need a little more coverage)
    mineral make up is better for your skin.


    liquid foundation clogs your pores

    really cheap. and works really good. and its 100% natural. and i love itt.. you can order there free sample kits and only pay for shipping. and you choose from 3 foundations 1 concealer and 1 blush, and remember they let you choose 3 different foundations for a reason, so you can find one that is closest to your skin tone, and the color on the site isn't true to the shades..





    hope i helped (:Does anyone kone of a cheap mineral make up brand? I want one with 100% minerals. Are Elf or Avon any good?
    ELF is the cheapest product ever. Aside from being around $1 each the stuff doesnt stay well. I tried their lipsticks, pencils, shadow. Nothing was even worth the $1


    Avon is OK...but


    I love Mark Kay shadows, they last on my face all day. MAC eye shadows run, smear and fade.


    Clinique make up is the best: Clarifying make up.


    For over the counter store brands, I recommend L'Oreal, they are also Lancome.


    Jennifer Flavin (Stallone's wife) has a line of mineral make up that a friend of mine is into.


    She said they are amazing...Does anyone kone of a cheap mineral make up brand? I want one with 100% minerals. Are Elf or Avon any good?
    What do you mean by cheap? I've never heard of Elf and have never used Avon so I have no opinion on them. I'm with Jafra Cosmetics, International and we are coming out with Mineral Make Up July 1st for $20.00. I don't think of this company as cheap. I consider it the best in Skin Care !!
    Definitely try Everyday Minerals. I've read a lot of positive reviews about it, and it seems like many who have tried it are satisfied. You can order a sample kit from them (you only have to pay for shipping) on their site - www.everydayminerals.com.
    Today i just bought Mineral Power by Maybelline, it was reasonably cheap for the concealer. It makes your skin glow! i looove it so far! I'm pretty sure the same would go for the foundations or powders! Id try it out! I hope i helped :)
    Everyday Minerals. The sample kit is free (just pay for shipping, which is 3 or 4 buck). That sample kit will last you for quite a while. You get three foundations, a blush, and a concealer. You can only get it only though.
    neutrogena and physicians formula make good inexpensive mineral makeup and physicians formula even has organic products now!
    AVON is great! E.L.F is horrible! Yes, ELF makeup isn't very expencive but you get what you pay for! Their products are really bad. I'd go with AVON! :) Good luck!
    Avon is really good! You shoud try it. It's on special for $7.99 right now.

    What are the pros and cons of mineral make up??

    I started buying Bare Minerals a few months before my wedding three years ago. I was desperate to find some kind of makeup that wouldn't wear off during the long day and would make me feel comfortable. I will NEVER use another make up again. It is so weightless that it feels like you don't have any make up on! Plus, I used to have acne from using liquid make up and other make ups with oils. I have pretty much no acne now and when I have the very occassional break out, my Bare Minerals makeup covers the imperfections beautifully!





    It is more expensive than other makeups I've tried, but it is so worth it! Plus a little bit goes a long way! So it probably actually equals out in the end because I buy it a lot less often. Plus I'm not spending money trying new kinds of makeup all the time that ultimately don't end up looking the way I wish they would.





    Try it and see! I bet you'll never go back to other make up again!What are the pros and cons of mineral make up??
    its cheap and goes a very long way, always buy it from a cosmetic ingredientc company, not off the supermarket shelved, you'll get literally 100 times as much for the same money, pure minerals don't 'go off' though you do need to use the same care with brushes etc as usual, and generally they are fully intermixable.What are the pros and cons of mineral make up??
    Mineral make-up is truly awesome. You only need a light dusting all over your face and a second dusting around the eyes. It lasts all-day and is waterproof (sweat-proof, thus great in the summertime). It feels like your wearing nothing but there is great coverage. It is gentle on the pores and you can sleep in it occassionally (say after a party if your sleepy), but try not to. It is natural, with mica which has a light reflecting property that reduces the look of dark shadows under the eye or around the mouth region. I have personally experienced less puffiness in the eye region. But remember it is natural with unlisted minerals that may not be so healthy when placed on the skin....are these metals safe???
    I heard that mineral makeup is the best to use and that you'll never break out with it...the makeup also looks flawless..just by word of mouth
    The pros of mineral makeups are that talc has been found to be a carconegenic (causes cancer) and most powders are made of talc. The mineral makeups are great because they dont take a lot to make your skin look falwless, absorb oil much better that liquids and with continued use they will help with breakouts. They are great too because they blend so well and when you are learning to use makeup you wont use too much. Loreal has a new one that is fantastic and Physicians Forumla also has some. These are about $15 so you will have money left over for other things.
    Although some of them claim that they are pure, they are not. For example, Bare Escentuals is impure and contains Bismuth. The positive about the minerals is that they are kind to skin and do not cause irritation, especially for the drier skins. Amongst the minerals, I like Everyday Minerals the best. Try everydayminerals.com. The company sends samples for free. The prices are also 1/5 of BE.
    bare minerals??? no cons that i know about but proactiv make-up improves your skin while its on ur face...
    When it comes to mineral makeup I think that there are only pros no cons. I use bare essentials and I love it. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
    Minerals don't need makeup, they sparkle on their own.
    It applies very quickly, gives a light to medium coverage and looks natural. I love it. I use Bare Escentuals and also Jane Iredale - sometimes both bc BE can be a little shiny.





    Use a light moisturizer first, then let that set. Just don't cake it on and use the proper brushes they recommend.





    When it's warm out---you won't be a sweaty, sticky mess from heavy liquid foundations.
    I tried Sheer Cover and though it did make my skin feel nice, it didn't cover like my liquid foundation does. I struggle with acne and dark circles and it didn't cover well for that. NOW if you have good skin and aren't worried about coverage you should certainly try it you'll probably like it very much.
    I've found that my skin is healthier, and the powder does not feel sticky or tacky. Lasts a long time!
