bare minerals! It's great!

---

Thats all I use now

---

me too! my sister got me hooked

---

i really like it bare minerals too. In the summer when i'm tan i only wear vincent longo concealer under my eyes and lip gloss. otherwise i use bare minerals and either lancome or stila pressed powder. vaseline on my lips. nothing on my eyes though if i wear mascara it's either neutrogena or lancome

---

YAY someone else who uses lancome pressed powder, i made the mistake of not saying pressed and everyone thought i used loose powder lol...i cant imagine using loose powder, imagine being out and trying to put it on it would get everywhere, i dont eventhink ppl really use it anymore do they? lol

Here's something I learned this weekend at the Mary Kay thing I had...

Pressed powder is better for girls with dry skin - it goes on more smoothly & doesn't dry you out.

Loose powder is VERY drying. It's grainy and the grains soak up excess moisture. So for girls with oily skin - go for loose powder!!!

---

THANK YOU yes i forgot the right term, it is pressed powder, its not loose powder

---

is it called dual finisher? I am looking for something like that and Haven't found one that I liked (usually too heavy) but I haven't tried the lancome one yet.

ETA: should have read the whole thread and I would have seen the picture you posted!

I am all over the place with make-up. I usually don't wear it to work because I am just too lazy.

But I recently got Dandelion from Benefit and I love it. It really does lighten up under the eye area.

I also have a finishing spray from MAC that I like (i forget the full name of it). It is a mist spray that makes your make-up stay on. I only use for special ocasions or extremely long days at work when I have to wear makeup. It is really light and works well!

I use Estee Lauder.

For liquid foundation DONT USE CHANNEL, its turned green on me, YES GREEN!!!! and I got it from Macys EWWWW.

Yves St Laurant foundation is really great
YSL blush is great
For Eye color and lip color I use Victorias Secret makeup, they have such pretty colors

---

OMG what do you mean it turned green? LIke in the bottle??
I just started using one of their new liquid foundations and so far so good... it goes on lightly, doesn't have a weird smell... hmmm this makes me nervous. Before I got this stuff I had been using Bare Minerals for over a year and really love it. Just wanted to switch things up a bit.

I also just got NARS blush - and I really like it - it goes on nicely, it has some shimmer but not glittery (I hate that with some products). Also use with Chanel bronzer which I absolutely LOVE! I highly recommend it to anyone.

---

I have a Channel Bronzer that I got a couple of years back, its OK, I feel like everytime I use it I get pimples on my face. But yeah the liquid CH foundation, it was the Vitalumiere if I remember corectly, I opened it and it turned to green, the foundation inside. I keep it at room temp, thats gross it was like fungus was develping. I went back to Macys and got credit for somethine else

---

Shoot, I can't remember the name of this foundation... it's one of their lighter ones (I hate cakey make up). That just grosses me out!!
My skin is relatively sensitive and I didn't have a reaction to the bronzer, thank god. Glad they credited you! What else could they do when you show up with green foundation!! YUCK!!!

does it last long on you though...i bought NARS blush recently too and love the color and like you said has some shimmer but not glittery, but i notice it doesnt last as long as other blushes, like i have to reapply again later on

---

it lasts long enough for me, not at 'full strength' but there's definitely still some on by the evening. i hate carrying touch up make up with me, my bag is too heavy as it is! lol
i literally bought it 2 wks ago cuz i wanted something new for my epics, so i don't know yet how quickly it goes.

the other thing i did start using too is foundation primer. was gonna get something from sephora but couldn't bring myself to spend the $, so i picked up some from cvs, i think the brand is lumene? it makes my skin super smooth and it seems like it keeps the color on my face longer. i use moisturizer, then the primer, then set with bare minerals mineral veil (light dusting)... then concealer, foundation, bronzer, blush, more finishing powder. yikes! sounds like a lot right?? LOL

I have a reaction to everything, I hate that. Thats why I only use concealer on some spots on my face, not all over my face.

i feel the same way. wearing less makeup now - you'd think i'd wear more b/c i'm getting old! in the summer i wear nothing because i'm tan. I wish I could go tanning... i'm lazy.

I do wear less in the summer when I have a tan - usually just bronzer, mascara and lip gloss.
But my color is fading fast so I have to start wearing more again.
I like to think that I don't LOOK like I'm wearing that much make up!

I don't get hot from all of it - it honestly doesn't feel like a lot once it's on. Or maybe I'm used to it??

i use mac liquid concealer, pressed powder and liquid foundation. for mascara i use chanel and eyeliner i just buy cheap from cvs.

mac is starting to get too heavy for me so when i run out, im going to try something new.

As a foundation:
sponge on dry, over daytime moisturizer, for a soft matte effect. Sponges on damp for a full-coverage, flawless matte finish.

As a powder:
puff on dry over any Lancôme foundation.

RESULT:
Portable perfection that's perfect for all skin types.
