    Default Best mineral make up?

    I've heard so many great things about mineral make up and seen great results. I'm ready to switch. But there are so many brands now that I am confused as to which one to try.

    Help?

    I was wondering the same thing, I swatched my sisters Bare Minerals
    on my hand and it was SOOO sparkly. So I don't know about that one.
    I have not tried any others cause your right there are like 890809 different
    kinds now. Even L'oreal and Jane have one out now.

    The Physician's Formula Mineral Wear is very matte.

    I have two canisters of Cover Girl TruBlend Luminous Loose Powder- I do not recommend this brand. The color matching is not good. I have to blend them with lighter powders for an exact match.

    I have a small tin of Everyday Minerals Good China- I use it a an undereye concealer over cream concealer. It is shimmery.

    Considering the ingredients of most mineral make-up, you will have to mix and match to get what you need.

    i mineral foundation.

    i have horrible acne, and big ol pores! this is THE foundation for me!

    i use bare minerals. love. thought there was none better.

    i used physicians formula's mineral wear... but thought it didn't give enough coverage. well, i tried it with a sephora bronzer brush, and WOW. just as good coverage as bm!

    i suggest physicians formula... if it's not enough coverage, then bare minerals.

    but be warned, because it's not for everyone. i do hope you love it like i do!

    Avon true match mineral foundation. It's the foundation of my dreams! I tried mineral foundations before that were either a funny colour on my skin or just didn't cover enough.
    you get a walloping big container of it (well at least compared to what i had before) and it covers everything with a light dusting. And my face is a mess of acne scars and acne itself.

    I have very oily-acne prone skin and mineral make up is the only thing I can wear. Bare Minerals is good but I found it to be too expensive after a while. I now use the loreal brand and think it works just as well. It doesn't make my skin break out which is nice! However I still do buy the bare mineral blushes.

    Bare Minerals made my face itchy and it didn't look so great after a few hours.

    Bare Minerals here!

    Love the stuff. My face has cleared, and I appear more refreshed. I use it all! Foundation, powder, warmth, eyeshadows, eyeliners...I'm a poster girl for the stuff lol.

    Sephoria has a great deal with the starter kits and you don't have to subscribe to the bi-monthly shipments. Just order as you need. Not to mention they send it in a cool box with a note. (I always put something positive on my note, it makes me smile more when I get it.) I'm cheezy like that

    I use the Bare Minerals and Bella Donna mineral make up.

    I lvoe both very much. BM looks funny on me if I don't have a tan, so I use Bella Donna then, but when I do have some color I love the look and feel of BM.
    You HAVE to use moisturizer, and there is even a nice primer to use with it as well. Only if you feel you need it though.

    At first it made my skin feel funny too, like LR said, sort of tight and itchy. Then I got a good moisturizer and after a while my skin adjusted and now my skin doesn't like anything else!

    I used bare minerals for a FULL YEAR and then out of nowhere had a itchy reaction.

    My skin was so good with this stuff. I went back to trying it reciently and for some reason i don't like it nearly as much as i liked it before.

    Lately i need more coverage with my skin and i find when i use concealer the bare minerals gets kinda blotchy and i can never use bare minerals as a concealer. It just never comes out right.

    for people who are not getting good results with the bare minerals: how often are you cleaning your brushes and wiping the inside of the lid with rubbing alcohol?

    I love everyday minerals. They have more colors to choose from than Bare Minerals (which I tried first and didn't like because my face looked shiny with it on), and you can choose the formula of foundation that you want depending on your skin type. It's also a lot cheaper than Bare Minerals.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    Is it just me or is the brush that comes with the loreal one too hard?

    I don't like the brush that the loreal brand comes with either. I use the brushes that came with my bare minerals starter kit to apply the loreal brand. I think that the concealer brush that bare minerals makes is the best make up brush EVER !
