Foundation?

Question

bare minerals or bare essentials...what is the difference...how much are they....and how good do they work....is it good for acne prone skin???

Answer 1

Bare Escentuals is the company- Bare Minerals is the name of the makeup they make. The kit (which has everything you need) is $60 at Ulta or Sephora. The foundation alone is $25. Its very good for acne prone skin, but it doesn't cut down on shine.

Answer 2

Bare minerals is the foundation line of the larger company Bare Escentuals, which includes eye shadow, skin care, lip color, etc. The initial beginner kit, which has smaller sizes of the foundation and mineral veil, clear radiance (face color), and warmth (bronzer) and 3 brushes, is $75. Refills of foundation is $25, mineral veil is $15 for normal size, $25 for the "super size", 2.5 times the normal size. The normal sizes are bigger than what comes in the kit.

I have oily skin, and I love this make-up. It doesn't make me break out and doesn't look cakey. I use this makeup every day, and use natural face product for oily skin (The Body Shop's tea tree line) and I only break out like once a month now, where it used to be at least once a week.

Answer 3

i have acne prone skin but i use loose powder and concealer but no foundation. Foundation is too heavy on my skin and clogs my pores. Have you tried just blotting your face with rice paper and then applying a light coat of powder. Looks so natural. Personally bare minerals is too expensive for the product...regular cover girl or revelon works great

Answer 4

its over-rated. just cuz it costs a lot doesnt make it any better. from experience, products like bare minerals cause my skin 2 react and so ur much safer just using a regular brand like covergirl (my personal favorite)
