qu for the bare mineral girls... (tried it, another qu)
Original post by Aug07OFCbride
im gonna use bare minerals for first time today, so any tips on how you apply it? i mean i read the how to/watched a little video clip online, but do you all have any tips of things that you have found to work better?
i read somewhere that some ppl apply the mineral veil beforehand too.
is it okay to use my regular moisturizer beforehand?
i usually use a cream concealer? should i not use that today and try to conceal w/ the minerals? i have herendous skin so im hoping to get the best coverage.
TIA ------------
eta: tried it, wrote about it in post below.

Ladies,
I also have a question - what does the mineral veil do? I use the foundation, concealer and warmth - how would the mineral veil look different?
mineral veil is a translucent finishing powder....so it doesn't add any color.
1) it softens everything...adds a 'soft focus' airbrushed finish...
2) it sets ur foundation...gives it staying power throughout the day
3) helps control oil & shine without clogging the pores or getting cakey....so throughout the day, this is all u need to touch up. u get oily/sweaty/whatever - dust over with the veil and it balances everything without clogging ur pores or messing with ur makeup...keeping everything in tact

thx again taryn i did much better today!! i just need to get the hang of it. i think it helped that i used a little of my own concealer for coverage of a few spots before using the foundation too.
