Bare Minerals makeup

[JabbaJawz]

Holy cow....now that I've been using the makeup for 4 or 5 days, I went back and read this whole thread to pick up the good information. Whew...it's long!!

I agree that I wasn't that impressed the 1st time, but each time I do it I get better at it. I'm learning how much of each thing to use to suit my face. I need to watch the video again to get more tips on applying eyeshadow, I stink at doing that and like Vrai said, once you get too much - look out! It's a bia to cover it up. I also used way too much warmth on day #2, but have gotten better since then on not overdoing it.

1. Who's using the brow kit?? I don't have one, but think I want it. Today I used the eyeliner stuff with the eyeshadow brush, and it had a similar effect, but was a bit dark for me. The brow kit for mediums would probably be a better match.

2. My clear radiance has no sifter thing on the top - is that how it's supposed to be, or did I get a funky container of it??

3. Is anyone using actual blush, or just using the all-over-face colors for that purpose?

Yep! Just what I need, a video to show me how to be beautiful! Not!! Sorry girls. No patience for all of that.

I have the brow kit in medium and I love it. As you're putting it on you don't notice a difference, but if you actually look at your face as a whole, your brows definitely look more defined.

I haven't been using blush, if I want a "blushy" look, I use glee on the apples of my cheeks, otherwise I just use warmth.

I bought the blush in Dusk and I like it, but you definately don't need much of it.

That's the only down side to this stuff -- if you do accidentally use too much, it is a biatch to fix. :tammyfayebaker: You almost have to wash your whole face and start over. But once you get the hang of it, and you see your face looking more natural, it's almost addictive. Gone are the 2-dolla hooker days of pencil-eyeliner'd-to-hell eyes and mascara gooped on so thick you have to put barrettes in your lashes to see.

The compliments I've gotten since the switch are reaffirming that I made a good choice trying it.

I'm pretty sure that's what I'm gonna be getting my sis for her birthday in March... I got her the starter kit for Christmas and she's hooked.

I orderd on Friday and just checked and it's at the post office now awaiting my pick up (po box address). I think I'm feeling a little sick and should go home early today at lunch time to watch the video

Did you try Jabba's? What color tone kit did you end up going with?

No, I didn't, I was too impatient to order my own

I ended up going with the medium, that’s what she has. Summer is coming and I do have that cruise planned so I’ll get a little color action going. If the medium is too dark now I'll just reorder a light and then save the medium for when I grown into it.

It should be here today!

Look

...

I want that.

Can I justify another makeup case that I'll never use and will sit on the closet next to my Caboodle collection?

Must think about this...

I thought about you when Rose and I were at Sephora. I looked at that All Over Face Color and laughed that you put it all over your face.

:worthless

:worthless

I can't remember if it was the warmth or glee but it looked more like sunburn then tan or sun kissed!

But you live and learn, right? And it SAID "all-over face color" - wouldn't it seem reasonable that you would put it all over your face? :shrug:

Yes, vrai - you can put it all over your face. That's why it's called "all-over face color."

 

[vraiblonde]

Well, they should call it what it is - highlighting - rather than what it isn't - all-over face color. I should write them a letter.
