bare escentuals??? the mineral makeup?

Question

is it really that great?? and does it cover up your skin? also should i buy eyeliners and mascaras from MAC?

Answer 1

MAC ROxXx!!!!
You can't even compare Bobbi Brown 2 that. sry.
And bare minerals is wonderful...it's not cakey...it's natural looking, which is great esp. fro lighter skin tones...speaking of which, I need to go get more.
But, you can't beat MAC eyeliner.
AND I luvluvlvu Lancome Mascaras.....

Answer 2

Mineral makeup really is that great. I loved it so much I started my own little indie, mineral makeup company.

Mineral makeup has exceptionally good cover. I was truly amazed the first time I used it. Because it was "powder" I just figured it would be translucent. I have a very dark "beauty mark" on my face and it can almost completely make it invisible.

You can also buy eyeliners that are mineral from any of the mineral makeup companies out there. Usually they will be shadow/eyeliners and will apply like an eyeliner with an angled liner brush.

Hope that helps.

I use the Loreal Mineral powder and I love it! I always wanted to use the bare mineral stuff too. I came across the Loreal mineral powder and tried it to see if that would make much of a difference. WOW! If money isn't an issue, sure why not try the Bare Escentuals, but if you are a thrift shopper try the Loreal first. It works great!

Answer 4

I have been using Bare Escentuals for 3 years now, and it is a very good makeup. It doesn't give your skin an oily feel, and it covers blemishes wonderfully. It's reasonably priced and one small container lasts you a long time.

MAC also has good products, my sister-in-law works for MAC and I have been using their mascara for a while and I love it.

Answer 5

I've never used Bare Minerals, but I've used Sheer Cover...another mineral make-up. I loved it. I loved the coverage, I loved how it didn't look like I was wearing a lot of make-up, but I had to stop wearing it, because it made me break out! Maybe it's the minerals, I don't know.

Answer 6

I have been using bare minerals for two years now.
It is wonderful. IUnlike other foundations, it is light and not cakey.
It actually feels good to have on your skin. You feel as if you have nothing on your face. Indeed, it covers blemishes too! I highly reccomend bare minerals. It excentuates your natural beauty.

As for mascara, I have tried everything, looking for mascara to make my eye lashes 'REALLY LONG.' I soon learned that mascara from the drugstore is made by the same makeup company as MAC, Chanel, and many others.
I reccomend ALMAY.

Answer 7

bare minerals is AMAZING. i bought it over a year ago and i couldnt even imagine putting anything else on my face now. and yes, it really does cover up all your skin and it looks so natural people wont even know youre wearing make up. i would recommend the starter kit, it comes with everything you need and youre saving well over $100 when you buy it. and yes, mac is great for eye liners and mascara, although if you dont want to spend a lot on those maybelin's unstoppable eyeliner is amazing as well, it goes on smooth and lasts all day. good luck to ya!

Answer 8

Hi, I have used Bare Minerals but could never quite get the right shade. I've had better luck with Bella Rose (another mineral foundation) by Serious Skin Care sold on HSN. It's also a better value as you get more product for the money. Good luck !

Answer 9

I love Bare Escentuals too! Sometimes it can leave me a little shiny so I use Get Even by Benefit for a touch up throughout the day.

Answer 10

B>E> is ok but there are drug store versions like Loreal's mineral line that are just as good and a fraction of the price and they have the same ingredients
