Has anyone tried the new mineral make-up that are out there? Do they work and which one is the best and cheapest. I'm not one to wear makeup other than lipstick and maybe a bit of eyeliner or eyeshadow. I have rosacea and i want to get a flawless natural look.

Drugstore brands- try L'Oreal ($11-$13) or Neutrogena ($11-13). They are reasonably priced and work. They also include the brushes necessary to apply the makeup.
For Salon-grade brand-I use Everyday Minerals. I really like it because it doesn't feel like I have any makeup on, and it really is all natural. Bare Minerals has a bunch of fillers like talc (baby powder), cornstarch and bismuth oxychloride. It has a lot of junk in it and is pricey.
I like Everyday Minerals, but it is a pain waiting for your product and the kit system is kind of inconvenient ($26 for starter kit, which includes 2 foundations, concealer, finishing dust, blush, 1 brush, plus S&H). But it has Silk Dust and I like the product so I put up with it. The prices are comparable to drugstore brands ($12 for foundation). However, they get kind of spendy at first when you buy the brushes.
I would go with L'Oreal or Neutrogena for the convenience and price.

I just started using the BareMinerals makeup. It is clean feeling and has a good look. I have had a recent breakout myself...but it was before switching the makeup. I only use foundation, blush and eyeshadow...but they have a good variety - not very cheap though...and it can be difficult to travel with (because it is in powder form). You might wanna try a beauty supply store. They usually have better quality stufff at cheaper prices than a salon or something.

I don't wear any makeup except mascara, so I don't know personally. But my friend had the same problem as you. She did try the mineral stuff (not the brand name, just the kind you buy at Walgreens) and she loves it. She has a dark complexion though, I don't know if that made the difference.
I think you have to have a young face to use it though. No wrinkles, that sort of thing.

Go for bare minerals. IT seems expensive, but it lasts a reallllly long time..so it is really not that expinsive. I spend less on that then I did when I'd wear revlon that I bought at the grocery store. It will work wonders with your rosacea too. its nice and gentle so it won't irritate it and it will cover it up.

go to Arbonne.com they are natural stuff. no chemicals in them. they have products to clear your rosacea. A friend of mine has it and she used the products and now her face is not red anymore. The stuff is expensive but worth it.
