Bare Minerals makeup

marianne · Jan 19, 2006

This huge post got me to Sephora today. I do like the foundation but didn't try anything else yet. I'm definitely the fair color but I can't find any kits with the fair foundation. I don't want to buy everything separately - $$$$. Has anyone found kits or good deals with fair foundation?

Did you get that train case yet, and if so, how do ya like it?

Just got it. It rocks! It's bigger than I thought it would be, and actually might end up being too small (If I continue to buy makeup like I have been :lol:

), but it works for now!

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:

But you're not blind. You can look at the color and figure out not to put it all over your face! :huggy:

It's ok some good came of it; I got a giggle out of it. :love:

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...

You've got 13 hours & 46 minutes to buy it. No bids yet. Annnnnnnnnd it's from a "smoke-free home". :lmao:

I got the mondo $200 kit and it has everything that I need, other than the brow kit.

When I bought my bare minerals stuff I through a ton of makeup away. At this point I still rotate between using bare minerals and the regular makeup, so I still have a lot.

I checked all the kits at bareminerals.com and sephora.com, even the $200 kits. But none of the kits offered fair foundation - the lightest you could get was "fairly light". When I asked the lady working at Sephora yesterday she said they didn't sell kits with fair foundation. And when I tried on a teensy weeny bit of fairly light, I looked like I had a tan head on a white body. It was so noticable my husband said, "what happened to your head?" when he saw me.

But I got a kit with fair foundation last night! :yahoo:

I called the infomercial customer service and asked if there's anyway I could get a customized kit. It was so funny - she said yeah, we have kids with fair foundation... I have no idea why we don't advertise or put them on our website... :duh:

I'm so glad you are able to finally get your kit with your foundation tone! :clap:

I would think this product line would be especially exciting for you. Since you have such a fair skin tone, I'm sure it's hard to find makeup that looks natural.

I don't think we can ever thank Vrai enough for starting this thread.... :flowers:

Ok, day 1.5 (I played around last night).

I'm not completely sold on the coverage factor, I still have some spots (acne) showing through (I used the Multi-Tasking ~ Bisque spot treating them 1st before general foundation coverage and then spot treated again with foundation). But I do like the light feeling of this makeup.

And I have gotten 2 compliments already :yay:

I have found that if you have a really red blemish, your best bet is to use a dab of your normal concealer, then do your Bare Minerals routine. You will find that the blemish will only be visible if there is a bump. Keep playing with it. You will find that within a few days, you will have down to a science.

Why must you pick on me in a thread I can't relate to, which means I don't check? Hmmph. You know Kwillia, I think you should order two Bare Minerals when you buy your sister or SIL's in March. There is a certain Newbie of the Year who has a birthday then too. :whistle:

It's my job to try and suck the life out of kwillia. Find your own sucker :yay:
