I bought the Bare Minerals starter kit last night. There are 2 foundations with it. Medium and medium beige.Do they give you 2, so you can use the one that matches my skin better or do you mix them together? Is one the concelaer? I watched the video that comes with it, but they don't tell you. Help! Thanks.

Yes - they give you 2 to start with so you can choose which best matches your skin. If the lighter one works for you right now, the darker one may work for you when you have a tan. Love the stuff. They are both foundations - neither are concealer. However, I found, if you have a blemish, take your finger and rub just a little over the blemish after you put your foundation on. Works well. Good luck.

There is a Bare Escentuals store in Roosevelt Field. If you live close, you may want to go. They'll do your makeup while you're there so you can get a good idea of what you're buying.

I started using it about 2 weeks ago and I LOVE IT!!!!! You don't have that foundation 'mask' that you normally get with liquid and no foundation line. It stays on all day too. I will be honest though, for night affairs such as an anniversary party im going to saturday night, i'm wearing liquid because i think it photographs a little bit better. I would definitely use bare minerals on a daily basis but not for my wedding.

Ahhh, I love this stuff!!! I get so many compliments on my skin when I wear it. They give you two, not sure why. I only use one. The woman in Sephora told me to use the medium beige one on my skin, I am keeping the medium for when I run out of medium beige. They are so similar in color.

I had used them. The darker is your 'foundation' and the lighter is your 'concealer'. It seemed to take a lot to cover though. I personally didn't like what it did for my skin. I would go with professional makeup for your wedding though. Bare minerals seemed more for every day than for evenings or special occasions....JMO

For my birthday my aunt always mails me their kits. I love it. It feels so natural, not caked on like stage make up.
But yes it comes with two so you can pick which one matches your skin tone better.

It just made my pores more apparent. I thought it was suposed to give this 'flawless coverage', but it just made me look like I had on the wrong color powder. My friend uses it too, and it just looks like she has nothing on. I guess I just don't get the hype. I prefer a light tinted moisturizer....

I just bought the kit as well and I think it is just OK. I will use it for work, but for big events I will use liquid.

Re: Girls that use Bare Minerals- RP from 08'
I use all the time. I love the stuff. I was going to use regular makeup for my wedding. I went for two trials and both made me break out.
Just a suggestion. If you use a light tinted makeup under the bare minerals it gives it a different look for photos. JMO

Thanks for the tip. I used it the first time today. It looked nice and stayed on all day. But, I don't plan on using it for the wedding. I have to do some makeup trials, but from what Ihear airbrushing is the way to go.

Each person is different. Try different things and you will know. I tried airbrushing and didn't like it at all. It felt heavy to me. JMO.

I know....everyone is different. I never had airbrushing. I definitely have to do some makeup trials to see what I like.
