I have had nothing but problems with bare escentuals (bare minerals). From the beginning I was disappointed by the minimal coverage. It didn't look like I was wearing it because it didn't cover. I have normal skin. Not too dry and not oily. It dried my skin and made it itchy. I had a hard time finding a shade of foundation that matched and when I did it didn't last very long. I had to reapply at least twice per day.
I'm not sure if any one else had this problem? So then I heard there were other brands that were comparable and it seems the Everyday Minerals are the closest or even better. They have lots of shades. I am waiting to find out what I think til I have had more time to get opinions.

Everyday Minerals is great! I have problem skin and the bismuth oxychloride in Bare Minerals made me break out. All mineral makeup has the same application process: swirl, tap, buff. You should do that until you gain the coverage you would like. I mix my EM foundation with a little bit of EM multi tasking concealer for the best coverage. It does "heal" my skin like BM claims to do, but my skin has not broken out as much as it did before. For normal skin you want the Semi-Matte formula or Intensive.

I use Bare Minerals, are you repeating the process til it looks the way you want it to? Also are you using the other foundation products like mineral veil and the one for eyes. I am 54, I have always had flawless skin but now I am dried out due to cancer and pneumonia and I love the way it looks. Are you setting the liquid foundation with powder?? Physcians Formula had a similar product and you don't have to buy a whole kit, just what you want. If you don't want the bare minerals, send this way.

Hi, I didn't have very good luck with Bare Minerals, either. I could never get the right shade. Besides, it was too expensive for the little product you got. So, I now use Bella Rose by Serious Skin Care sold on HSN. It works a lot better for me and it's a much better value. Good luck !

It's okay, I've had problems with BE as well. I did the swirl, tap, buff thing. It didn't really cover anything for me. I have oily skin, so I guess that's a huge reason why it didn't work for me.
I haven't tried Everyday Minerals, but I hear Aromaleigh is good.

Do you apply your minerals correctly? You have to buff them in a considerable amount. I've tried bare minerals and sheer cover, and they made my skin itch as well like you described. I've never had a problem with coverage though, and my skin is a combination of dry/oily and I get pimples/zits and also have scars from previous acne. I also have alot of redness around my nose and cheeks. It covers perfectly! AND it lasts all day. I've never had to retouch my makeup ever. Only powder to blot my shinyness. EverydayMinerals is great, I use it now, and its ALOT more affordable!

I know many people who have struggled with the same results. I suggest that you find a Mary Kay consultant local to you. She will come to you and let you try all the products. Plus she helps you find the PERFECT shade and coverage depending on your personal skin care needs. Not to mention the products are all 100% guaranteed, so you are never stuck with something you don't like. By the way, the service they offer (by coming to you) costs nothing. If you don't like it you aren't obligated to purchase anything.
