Bare Escentuals / Bare Minerals......
I LOVE BARE MINERALS!!! AND.. you should always buy it on EBAY! So much cheaper there! Dec 08 06 02:58 pm Link I have used Bare Minerals for about a year and a half now and I LOVE it!!! I sleep in it all the time (sometimes Iâm really lazy  ) and my skin has never looked so good (acne wise). It really makes your skin/complexion look really really nice and I always get compliments on it. There is a full coverage brush that I use (similar to a foundation brush...flat/smooth... I don't know what it's called...MUA's? ) and it does put it on a lot thicker in places where you need it. However, occasionally I use my wet/dry concealer for under my eyes. I really recommend it!Dec 08 06 11:47 pm Link I'm sorry but has anyone ever had a problem with it not working?? I bought this stuff recently and it barely works for coverage. I don't have terrible skin but its not the best and i can't honestly say it works for either acne scarring and it def doesnt work for under eye circles at all. I know i'm putting it on right because i've watched the how-to part tons of times. I usually have to put on like 5 layers and then it still barely makes a difference. I guess if your skin isn't bad then it may work but it doesn't for darker spots. I don't have much acne just blemishes. As for being good for your skin yeah it seems like it may have helped, but for like 60 dollars i might as well just buy a good facial cream. I don't know about you but i'm sticking to liquid foundation for good coverage. If you have bad acne or dark circles or such ask me about it and i will tell you my side of the story. I'd rather you know more about the downs on it before spending a lot of money. This comes from someone who has been doing makeup for 10 years and who's taken cosmetology courses. Mar 23 07 10:14 pm Link i love it!!! my skin is so so sensative, so its all i use now. Try everydayminerals.com, they have 4 "formulas", i like a slightly dewy look which i didnt think i could achive with a powder foundation, but it works, plus its cheaper then bare minerals which is a plus Mar 23 07 10:53 pm Link Sophea Akara wrote: i can second that we retail Jane Iredale at the salons and I use it these days in all my shoots(ok well i don't use it but I have all our in house makeup artist use it...it is lights years ahead of bare escentuals, it was the original mineral as i understand it.. Mar 23 07 11:00 pm Link I tried Bare minerals in sephora and I didnt like it at all, or any other mineral makeup. The gal in the store couldnt find any shade to match, and everything she tried seemed to have a very subtle 'glitterish' effect. It looked like it was actually GIVING an oily complexion. The girl said there is some kind of really subtle shine in it. Dunno if there is one more matte, but coverage wise as well, I found it unimpressive. Everyone's skin will react differently though.

I usually looke bare faced before lunch time. Mar 24 07 12:34 am Link Nikita Lincoln wrote: I agree I have a few acne scars and it didn't cover for me at all. Plus it made my skin feel dry Mar 24 07 12:35 am Link I did a headshot shoot with Noah (TripleGlance on MM) with Bare Minerals. It actually came out great, Noah told me that he doesn't even see any reason to photoshop anything. I am waiting to get the images from him, it will be in my port soon : ) This shoot was done on a sunny day but in the shade : ) no lighting equip. Mar 24 07 12:49 am Link LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! It is the best foundation I have ever used on my face. I don't feel dry, and I haven't broken out as badly. Justine Danielle Mar 24 07 12:55 am Link Wow! Interesting! I see the infomercials all the time, but just thought it was a scam. Now, with all these recommendations I will have to try it - much like proactive... LOVE that stuff! Would have never tried it if my friends hadn't first!! Mar 24 07 12:58 am Link they have this kit on sale for $75, pur minerals, you can buy it on shopNBC.com, but the sale ends on April 1. Mar 24 07 01:03 am Link Bryanna Nicole wrote: Totally agree... There is good mineral makeup and then there is great and the difference is how many times it is milled or processed if you will.. some mineral makeups are milled 3 times, while i believe Jane is milled 10 or 11 times to rifine it to a much smoother consistancy. Jane Iredale is actually a medical grade makeup first formulated for burn recovery patients. There is so many things great about this make up.. it is worth the extra money. If you are looking for heavier coverage, I would recommend also getting this mist called d2o mist. you spray it on your makeup sponge then use the pure pressed powder (my fav and what I use) and you get a heavier coverage. Yeay for Jane! Mar 24 07 01:50 am Link I use it, and I love it. The price is really good too, because it lasts a while. I've been using it for almost 2 years. Mar 24 07 02:47 pm Link I've worked with models who use mineral type makeup and found that -from my perspective- it works quite well when properly applied. It evens out skin tones while retaining a natural look. I find myself doing much less retouching on the shots where this type of makeup was used. ~ Clement Mar 30 07 05:46 pm Link bare escentuals is really great--best makeup i've used ... covered up everything that needed to be covered up, blended well, and wasn't flaky or too powdery. BUT, it made my face itch LIKE PURE HELL. my face would be red and blotchy at the end of the day from having to scratch it. it was awful. it sucks, best makeup i've ever used and i can't wear it.  Mar 30 07 05:54 pm Link Hey, FYI, I used Bare Minerals for my headshot photo (avatar shot) : ) Apr 20 07 06:38 am Link MAILEKOP wrote: Bare Minerals is AMAZING. I just bought it like 2 weeks ago!! Great for your skin too... Apr 20 07 06:41 am Link My daughter uses it, I can't because it makes my face ichy than after i'm in the sun with it my face feels like its on fire, Apr 23 07 07:13 am Link |
