You apply it to the areas that direct sunlight hits you first - ie, your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.

You are right, Pixie is wrong. I just dusted a bit on the bridge of my nose and it gives you this cute been-in-the-sun look.

I also added a bit of Warmth to the foundation before I buffed it on and I really like that look - sunkissed without being too dark or fakey looking.

:smack: It's not a shine or a shimmer. Bare Minerals are ground minerals and produce a unique effect. Not a powdery look, not shimmery, not shiny. Any makeup person worth their salt will tell you to brush your bronzer where the sun hits first.

Let it go, Nickel. We will all finally have a "one up" on Pixie with our sun kissed little noses and her pale pokey one...:bubble:

And what conclusion was I suppose to talk about with all this talk of "shimmer"?

Vrai
Also, one thing I don't like: they call those pots of "glee" and "radiance" all-over face colors, designed to perk up your complexion. But they make my face look too shiny and almost metallic. It's okay if I add a little bit to the foundation before I buff it on, but to put it over the top of my makeup just doesn't look right. They do, however, make a great enhancer for my naturally rosy cheeks, since I don't wear blush..


Well, it said "all-over face color" So I tried it yesterday and no-go. My daughters wear shimmery foundation, but they're teenagers - they also wear glitter on their eyelids.


Chasey
I've been using an all-over shimmer for years now. After I apply blush, I brush the shimmer on my cheeks, the middle of my forehead, and the bridge of my nose. As Nickel stated, it adds an extra "glow" or sparkle.

So.... :smack:

:lmao: I don't know, ask Chasey and Vrai, they're the ones who said it was shimmery. :lol: It's not. At least not on my face. I agree that nothing shimmery should be put on your nose. So you are right, no to shiny noses and I am right, yes to a little warmth on your nose.

OK, after all this thread and watching 4 of the infomercials I think I'm ready to purchase. I have a couple of questions first though:

Is it better to buy through Bare Essentials or Sephora?

If Sephora, anyone got any coupons/codes that are current?

Do you use the same brush for all 3 powder applications?

And from what was mentioned before, if in doubt about what shade you are, go with the lighter option?

1. I prefer buying from Sephora because they don't set you up with an account that automatically sends make up to you. Had I ordered from BM I would have had to cancel my "membership".

2. I think someone posted new codes a few pages back.

3. No.

4. I wouldn't, but that's just me.

Cute, huh? I'm glad you like the look, vrai. :yay: Estee Lauder used to sell a tube of the "been-in-the-sun" look. I've been using it here/there for about 4 years now. I don't wear it much in the winter, but lots of times in the summer.

But technically, it is a shimmer. Granted, it's not glitter central, but it does add a bit of extra lighting to your skin.

Vrai, if you're going out wearing a spaghetti strap (or similar) outfit, dab some on your shoulders and also, that bone from shoulder to shoulder just above your chest. :yay:

I ordered my starter kit directly from Sephora. I can't say one way or the other which was is better. Vrai just posted some recent promo codes. The brushes that come with your starter kit are all you need for all of the products in the kit. You will definately want to do the "light" kit.... it would be perfect for you...:yay:
