I honestly think, I need to much coverage for this stuff...

Have you tried it yet? I went a little overboard on the coverage the other day. I applied in the wrong lighting. But it still looked good, just a bit less "natural".

Nah... I've been kinda scared. Does it cover well?

But, was your face still visible?

Yes it does. You can come give mine a try if you want. Before buying. :shrug:

Although I totally love it I would say it depends on what kind of "cover" you need. I tried it on my neighbor and it didn't work all that well in her opinion and I'd have to agree with her.

Then she used this cover stick stuff first (that is AWESOME btw) and I did it over top of that and it looked great. Her skin then looked absolutely flawless.

I ordered the eyeliner brush and some eyeliner and the Bisque multi-tasking stuff and it all rocks... I put the eyeliner on dry and it was easy and quick to apply and I love the look. Two thumbs up...

I've gotten 5 of the BE/M things I ordered from QVC in 5 separate envelopes, but am still waiting on my eyeliner and eyeshadow.

That bisque stuff definately rocks and provides great all-day concealing coverage. Anyone ordering the foundation kit who has dark circles, blemishes, or weird spots they want covered should definately order it.

Does QVC have better prices than Sephora?

I'm not sure they have better prices, per se, but they run specials on things all the time. I do think my eyeshadows and the extra mineral veil I ordered for the compact (that I also ordered) were a bit cheaper than Sephora had 'em.

Of course not, that's why it looked so darned good! :sillyboy:

Anyone with fine lines/wrinkles or non-smooth skin might wanna check this stuff out by Smashbox. It's a foundation primer, so whether you use the BE/M or not, it might help improve foundation wear/application. I don't really have wrinkles, but when I was at the Sephora store, the chic showed it to me, it felt sooooooo good on my skin (silky, velvety, but incredibly light). It's pricey, but my skin still feels silky/velvety after all-day wear.

PS -- they have a smaller size that is less you can buy to try/sample. They might even have it listed as a sample you can request. Not sure. :shrug:

I am curious, when doing your makeup, in what order do you apply it?

I have found with the Bare Escentuals, I put my mascara on first to stop the eyeshadow from "powdering down" onto my face, etc.

I'll tell you what, I got the eyeshadow samples (1/8 tsp in each little pot) and these things are going to last me forever. I'm having more luck with them since I bought the BE shadow brush - my old brush was glopping color all over the place.

And I agree with Kwillia - the eyeliner and liner brush are the bomb Very subtle and easy to apply. Gets the liner right next to your eyelashes so you don't have this thick line or a space between the eyelashes and the liner.

I'm glad to hear that cuz I ordered the eyeshadow and liner brushes and was wondering if it was really gonna make a difference. I ordered the "meet the browns" eye color kit (comes with 3 shadows), and I'd have thought one would come with it (as the foundation kit does) but it doesn't.

I haven't even attempted to apply this stuff with my non-BE/M brushes; I'm too skeered to coverage would be jacked up and I'd have to start over. The thing I like about the kabuki brush is -- once I've applied the foundation, mineral veil and warmth or blush, I use the kabuki all over to blend everything together and it does an awesome job of giving you that natural, non-made-up finish.

Does anyone need some "medium" BE? A friend of mine gave me a couple containers of it since it's too light for her. I'm sure it will be too dark for me.

I wonder if I brushed it all over me if it would look like I have a tan?

I'll take it. I've used all that I was given and have to wait until xmas to get the starter kit under the tree.

F.Y.I... this makeup passes the "crying because I'm laughing so hard" test. It was put to the test last night when Rosered accidently yanked boobies out of her bra. I had tears streaming yet none of the makeup budged.

Done deal. See, another good excuse to do lunch again.

Sounds like a bodice accident.
