Bare Minerals makeup

[Wenchy]

No doubt I'll play with it some more, but I have to say, from everyone else's testimonials, I was expecting a little more. I can honestly say the coverage isn't better than my foundation. I'm thinking I'l have to apply this over my foundation for the perfect coverage.

I didn't know about the "bisque," until after I had ordered.

I still used my normal coverstick for blemishes, and underneath my eyes.

The bare minerals gives me a "glow" that I never did get with my ordinary CG loose powder, and felt much lighter.

The bisque will now take the place of my coverstick. (as much as I use...might as well be a foundation...)

You're not doing it right. You just use a teeny bit and buff it all over your face, not cake it on. After it's applied, your face shouldn't look like you have ANY makeup on at all.

I want GOOD coverage. A teeny, tiny bit is not going to do anything for me. I used about as much as a pinky nail on my face. That's hardly anything at all.

I do like the bisque, and color/highlight of the glee is nice, too. Hopefully I'll like it better tomorrow. Day and I are gonna' go out shopping in a bit. Let's see if he notices.

That equals a half gallon of liquid foundation!

Okay, should I buy the bisque concealer? I've been just using a smidge of the foundation to conceal.

I like the bisque more than anything else. However, as you've already guessed, we have a very differing of opinions.

I use a liquid foundation, then a pressed liquid/powder on my face. I don't have porcelain skin, so therefore, I have to use gallons a day to look good.

Good luck with that. I thought C_Jo noticed it but it turns out all he noticed was my trip to the tanning bed, which made him happy because I was "gettin' all pastey."

I don't believe you. I've seen pictures of you. You're hotter than a pancake straight off the griddle. :sizzle:

I don't think I got anything called "Bisque." I ordered from bareminerals.com. Maybe that's why. But I got five brushes!

That can't be possible. Go over to Christy's house and let her make you up. I think the problem is you're trying to REALLY cover your skin, rather than just fine-tune and enhance it.

You ever seen the multi-coloration of a pancake straight off the griddle? You know, all those browns and stuff.

Duh! That's EXACTLY what I want!

 

[Chasey_Lane]

Day just called. We're going shopping.

YES!

It's not part of "the kit"; it's an 'extra' ya gotta pony up for. It's the multi-tasking minerals/concealer.

Chasey, the point of this stuff is to not cake your face like it's halloween; it's to let your skin's natural radiance show through. If you're gopping it on, that's not gonna happen. You need to realize that this is not your usual foundation, and it's not meant to cover your complexion ... it's job is to enhance it and let your natural -ness shine through.

Yes! That was the little extra bit I needed to cover up the hickies...

C_Jo's a really hard sucker.

Thanks for sharing that tidbit; I bruise easily.

Somehow, you using a makeup that has the word bare in the title, sounds like it's just not gonna cut it....

Funny, I think the same thing about you and the use of "man" in your username.
