Yay, I love when I actually get responses on this board

So, additional questions:

Does it really hide imperfections or does it generally just give you a nice glow?

and..

Camerakrazie, did you end up booking your day-of makeup with a mineral makeup person? I had seen your trial pics at one point and thought you looked incredible!

It does hide imperfections...I have red scarring from a severe break out in March right before I switched...when I wear the makeup, I get to spend the entire day looking flawless. And I used a BE girl for my wedding...she did a phenomenal job and I didn't really feel like I had on all that much makeup but in reality, I had on tons (my face had been sunburned and was peeling, she even managed to hide the peeling!!!)! I swear by the stuff.

I use it and don't use any other make up (except for the wedding).

There is a store in Roosevelt Field Mall. They can do application of make up. You could ask them.

I noticed that it goes away a bit if I sweat (I really have dry skin).

I personally would never switch back to liquid foundation.

ok so where would you get bare minerals and bare essentials? can you them in the mall... any of the make-up counters??

bare escentuals store roosevelt field

I also have very oily skin and about 4 months ago I started using Bare Minerals, It's the BEST makeup that I have ever used. Very light and feels like you not wearing any makeup at all!!!!

I have been using bare minerals for about 4yrs
I am addicted!! It is amazing
It feels so light like you are wearing nothing at all

I have tons of eye shadows, blushes, face colors & brigteners-EVERYTHING
And Ive gotten friends& family addicted too
My mom LOVES IT!

you never run out of anything except foundation & mineral in due time....since you use that daily

you need so little so it lasts!!!

I rarely even reapply during the day--sometimes Ill reapply the mineral veil if I feel really hot-like in the summer otherwise no..

FOr me it lasts & doesnt come off easily..I have sensitive combo skin

you def need a light moisturizer under it for sure
let it absorb before you apply

I LOVE dove sensitive skin moisturizer its VERY light & it goes right in

I used to also use a primer under the makeup as well
Either smashbox primer or what I liked better from QVC was Laura Gellar's primer called spackle it was lighter than the smashbox

but for the past yr. I stopped using the primer..it depends on your skin

I dont feel that the makeup comes off easily if you do--then try a primer

I can only say how AWESOME this line is
I would NEVER EVER go back to yucky liquid makeup again

any ques FM me

They have their actual store on the 2nd level. You don't have to go to Sephora.

They have a display of ALL their line. Free demo of make-up, etc.

In addition, the ladies there are super nice.

I've been using it since about May and I love it! It has lasted me since then too and I have so much left still. It is definately worth the money. And I bought the started kit so the containers are smaller.
I didn't realize there were makeup people that use it for the wedding day but now I will look into it!

thanks for the bump...i saw the infomercial on tv 2 days in a row and was sitting there fascinated. I wanted to recheck the boards to see what you sexy ladies thought!
I bought the starter kit and we'll see

I do not normally wear make up however, I used Bare Minerals for my wedding day.

It was really light and I did not even feel like I had make up on – which was a concern of mine. The product line is really not made for ethnic skin (not a lot of colors that suit darker skin tones) but we managed to use the foundation (Deep) and face powder (Warmth). The photo effect is a kind of glow – it’s reflective. I have no idea how that works but I really like the way the make up photographs – not like I was wearing a mask or anything like some products look. I suppose that on lighter skin the Bare Minerals reflective aspect can have a wash out effect so I recommend having your face done (Sephora carries the brand) prior to buying any of these products.

photos are here

If anyone is interested Avon now has a new line of mineral make-up

You can order through me by FMing me or go onto my website:

Avon


The product works just as well as bare essentials and costs a lot less.

Just putting it out there if anyone is interested.
