Bare Minerals? Any one use it?

Question

I'm looking for a new makeup and everyone on here swears by Bare Minerals. Is it really that good? I have used Sheer Cover before and I thought it was pretty good; but it was rather expensive. How much would Bare Minerals Cost and is it worth it?

I break out once in a while, but I have light acne scars. Will Bare Minerals help to cover them up? I am looking to cover them up really good until I go to the Dermatologist in the next couple of weeks to see what he recommends to get rid of them. Any advice/personal experience with Bare Minerals would help alot!


Oh, and how good are Biore products? I use clean and clear, but I'm not sure if I like it. I'm forever getting black heads on my nose and I need a good scrub to get them out and KEEP them out! Recommendations?

Thanks for all your answers! :]

Answer 1

Bare Minerals didnt work for me at alllllll, after i paid $60 for nothing, my skin looked dryy, what works for me is maybelline matt mouse(pure beige), and i tried aloooooooooot of things from expensive to cheap, so its up to u, biore is good i only have their blackhead strips, but for a facial cleanser i use aveeno positively radiant cleanser, and positively radiat moisturizer SPF30, these twoooooooo are amazinggggggggg, im telling u, i tried everything.,good luck!

Answer 2

Well, I have no experience with Biore, but I've been using BE foundation for over 5 years now. I've heard it's better than Sheer Cover, but I wouldn't know. It's usually $25 for the foundation, but mine lasts for months. My skin is oily, and will break out if I'm not careful--the BE works really well for me, I just use a pressed powder mid-day or so, and I'm good. No breakouts either. It does make some people itch, and it can look bad if it's not applied right, but if you have experience with another mineral foundation, you should be OK. I would give it a try, if it's in your price range. It's not the #1 mineral foundation for nothing.

Answer 3

I just started using Bare Minerals and I'm not so sure about it. It covers up all my acne very well, but when using the mineral veil, my skin appears to be quite oily. If applying a liquid foundation first, it looks much better with the bare minerals. I suggest that you don't waste your money on it.

As for biore products. I absoultly love them. It works very well to get rid of blackheads. Hope this helps

Answer 4

I use bare minerals but i found it made my skin itchy and it always looked dry. its pretty expensive if you get the foundation kit think its about 60 dollars. if i were you i would try mayebelline matte mousse it works really well and covers up a lot of things. it works like a miracle.

biore works well. i have a lot of blackheads too and i used the black head strips by biore and you leave it on for 15 minutes of soo and when you pull it off it looks like little roots on the strip. its weird but works. they also have black head pads with micro beads that clean out your pores really well and make your skin really smooth. i believe there are some acne products like cream that will clear up your acne scars i think there are sum for biore. i hope this helps

Answer 5

I really like Illuminare for coverup under the eyes.

I love Jane Iredale Mineral makeup, it looks more natural than Bare Minerals by far. It's more expensive, but worth it. I get the Pure Pressed Base in Satin (my skin is light beige w/yellow undertones) and it costs me about $48 but I only use 2 per year. I just look for it online - but watch out bc some are not returnable.

I started with this great starter kit, and now i'm hooked!

For black heads & oily skin, i recommend at least once a week facial steam. Get a facial steamer from your drug store. Costs like $30. INVALUABLE.
or
Steam your face over a pot of boiled water, w/a towel over your head, to hold the steam in. Steam untill no more steam!.
Your black heads are just clogged pores, you need to steam them clean.
Have fun!

i used it and it did not work for me. powders make my skin look dry and i have combo. skin type. it works for different skin types and doesn't work for others. try it, its not that expensive.
