joybelle Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ive bought some BareMinerals foundation powder just need to get a brush to apply it. Has anyone used this makeup, Ive heard some good reports but can be a bit tricky to apply. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizzyMomma Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I swear by the stuff!! Lightweight, easy to blend and covers a multitude of sins, plus it doesn't clog your pores up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I am not so sure,but I have not tried BareMinerals. I have found it hard to get just the right sort of pasty putty colour for my skin,truth be told. I also product tested another brand & found it a bit drying on my skin. A young girl at work wears Bare & she just puts heaps & heaps of it on - its too orange for her skin & looks truly terrible,but that is a good example on how NOT to wear mineral foundation,I think. I am a big Garnier BBCream fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love it, I use Lily Lolo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkitty Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've used the Laura mercier mineral powder foundation for a couple of years now. I love it - easy to apply, pretty foolproof so long as you have a decent brush (I swear by body shop brushes) and doesn't clog up your pores.

quickcluck Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I lurve it, I'd get the brush recomended, thats what I did and the application is brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily95 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I wear the Bare Minerals makeup everyday, and I love it! I have terrible skin (being 16 and all that...!) and it's been really good for my skin Easy to blend the colours too, if the standard colours aren't right for your skin - oh! and the concealer has SPF 15 in it too! Doesn't feel like you're wearing any makeup either, I usually hate wearing foundation because it's so heavy, this is really light - yay! Err, yes, I think you can gather from all that that I like it! haha. you made a good choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybelle Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love it, I use Lily Lolo. I`m going to get the brush from Lily Lolo, its cheapeer than the BareMinerals one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love it too. Go for a trial in Debenhams or the like, they show you how to apply correctly and it really is easy once you know. Re the comment on coverage, if you apply it properly it looks fantastic. Just after I started using it I went to have my eyebrows done and the beautician commented on the flawless coverage. Believe me thats amazing as my skin is not great and I'm useless at make up! I dont look like an orange either and thats saying something as I am known to be pale and pasty naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love it, I use Lily Lolo. I`m going to get the brush from Lily Lolo, its cheapeer than the BareMinerals one The Ultimate Kabuki brushes from Jayne here are fantastic and her service is fab. I can't get on with BE or LL so use either Philosophy's airbrushed or Urban Decay as they both have a sponge applicator system. Oh, and BE can make some people itch as it contains bismuth if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love it. The brush is essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 My daughter loves it...and it's ok for my mature skin too..(well no worse than anything else I've tried).... The DD had quite difficult skin and the Bare Minerals stuff doesn't seem to upset it at all..it's light, lovely and carefully applied not orange at all..she did go to Debenhams and have a trial ..I'd say give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I use Everyday Minerals. I started with eyeshadow because something in regular shadow makes my eyelids irritated. I eventually switched over completely. The foundation is much easier to apply than liquid and feels so lightweight that I forget I'm wearing makeup. It can feel a bit powdery at first so I like to put it on after moisturizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 BareMinerals are doing 'make unders' & giving samples too LINKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I too like the Bare Minerals, doesn''t clog up in the wrinkles The only thing I do find is it gets a bit messy on the dressing table, Don't know about anyone else, but I always manage to get the powder everywhere, because of that I use Clinique for work and save the Bare Minerals for when I am going out. I have actually had comments on my make up when I have had it on, which I have never had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm not too keen on it myself. However, I have used Jerome Alexander makeup before now - the Italian Marble & bronzer are fab! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 BareMinerals are doing 'make unders' & giving samples too LINKY I had my 'make under' today & very pleased I am with it too It looks really natural,but still feels a little dry to me - maybe it just takes a bit of getting used to? I got a sample pot to use for a few days,so will do so then see how I feel....the blusher they used on me is very nice. Could well be tempted,as it would be fairly well priced with my John Lewis discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
