Bare Minerals Foundation?

Pollyjean35, 17 March, 2011 at 13:18 Posted on Planning 0 8

Does anyone use it? I use MAC and its running out so im thinking of giving this a try?

I like a nice matt finish, does this do the job?

    Hi Pollyjean

    I use this stuff - it is nice (and good for your skin - mine was noticeably clearer), however in all honesty the coverage is not as good (or as long lasting) as a liquid foundation (particularly mac, which is known for its staying power and coverage).

    It might be worth a go for you if you are interested in the benefits for the skin, though. I like it but I don't know whether I'd necessarily buy it again.

    I Smiley heart IT! I have to disagree about coverage,. My skin is not good at all and i have always had to use a heavy coverage thick foundation, but since using bm for just over a year, it has improved my skin anyway, as its all pure good-for-skin syuff, no chemicals, and you build the coverage. If one layer doesnt do the trick just apply a bit more where needed. It really is amazing and my skin has never looked so flawless. I dont work for them i swear but u should give it a go and be converted! Buy a tester starter set with mini pots in that what my mum did for me xxxx

    I love bare minerals to. Soooooo much!

    I think it does give good coverage- if you put a decent amount on.

    When I tried it on in the dept store they did it fairly lightly and the lighting in dept stores is always harsh on my not perfect skin.

    I decided to persevere, took it home, and have had so many compliments on my skin since started using it! For me it gives the right balance between fresh natural skin and the heavy coverage that I need.

    They also do really nice eye shadows, I went into Selfridges the other day and one of the ladies gave me amazing smoky eyes which I want my make up lady to try to copy on my wedding day.

    Brilliant stuff! Especially if you have acne ridden skin! Have to say ive found the coverage good for my bad skin! I sometimes forget to take it off before bedand it never harms my skin (actually recommended to put it on blemishes to heal them!)

    Cant really comment on BM as I'd not heard of it. I have found sheercover tho! I saw one of those awful shopping channel ad things tho & looked it up. I got a cheap set with extra brushes, cleanser moisturiser and eyeshadows on ebay! Great stuff and you can mix colours to custom blend too. Feels really light and looks good. If you go through the official website they try & get you to sign up to make payments to get regular refills. I found a set on ebay for same price as basic set on official page. You can get refills on ebay too. Worth a try, I have bad skin as I used to have bad acne, I have dark eyes & uneven skin tone. Thought I'd try this before going to expensive clinics for microderm!
