Bare Escentuals

Dec 05, 2006 21:31

Anyone tried them? (It?)

What did you think?

I am SO not a makeup girl. But I need something to even out my color, tone down blotches, etc. I definately look more put together when I wear some makeup, even a bit of lipstick. As I posted before, I got my eyes tattooed (liner) so I don't have to worry about them. If I found some kind of something ( Read more... )

I've used Bare Minerals for about 4-5 years and (almost completely) love it. I love that I can control how much coverage goes where. I use a smaller brush under my eyes and on blemishes, and I can get it to go on thicker, but it doesn't look caked. The only issue I have with it is what they advertise as the "youthful glow." I've had oily skin my entire life, so I associate "glow" with "greasy shine." LOL

Bejart gave me a tip they gave her at the BE store -- put the mineral veil on first and it cuts down on the reflective properties of the foundation.

Yay!

P.S. The stuff lasts forever. I still have my original sample pot of blush. Yes I know, that's probably not good, but it doesn't make me break out in hives, so I figure it's okay. ;)

Thanks Shel! I just invested a hoard of $ into Bare Escentuals. Depending on how this makeup experiment goes, perhaps I'll venture onto another one. HAH!!

yes Bejart does use it and does indeed rave about it!
find a store Nan and let them go through it with you...
they have those *tips* you can use daily.
good luck.

Thanks Seth! We have a store downtown and was planning on going there tomorrow night if I got good feedback. Yay!

yes I do love it. what i really love about it is the lighter feel (the first time i wore it i kept checking to see if i had any on). if you can make to a store it's helpful - also the sephora people carry it and can apply it for you. i always get helpful hints and they did a better color match for me than i did myself. it really helps with uneven skin tone and you won't look "made up".

and yes if you have oily skin apply the bare minerals first and also last.

catssu December 6 2006, 19:23:10 UTC

there you are... yay.
i so could not hold my own here for you! lol

miss you.

We do have a Sephora store. That's the one downtown. I'm definately going to go now. I did figure that I probably wouldn't get my color match right, and thought that was a better way to do it. Do you get their automatically mailed stuff every 60 days, or buy as you need? Have you tried their actual makeup? (Same ? for LaD if you read this.)

I have oily skin in patches, so I might get away with either way. I'll have to test it.

Thanks so much!
