Bare Minerals makeup

Does anyone use the Medium Beige? My kit came w/Medium and Medium Beige, and the Med-Beige isn't a good match. I tried mixing the 2, and that's really not much better. The medium seems to work best for me. I'll work out a trade if anyone has something good for me, for a full-sized, twice used Med-Beige.

I have a bottle of Coco I'm willing to barter off.

I've got some medium if you want to swap out, a friend of mine gave it to me, and it's too dark for me. It's too light for her, she uses the medium beige. :shrug:

How is your eyeshadows working out for you? I love the browns, thinking of ordering some different colors. I'm also looking for some more pinkish colored stuff. I like the warmth, but I think I'd look better in a pink. Any suggestions? :msmillionpiecekit:

Maybe it's just me, but I like the look of the BM's w/out the mineral veil. Anyone else?

My MIL does because it gives her a dewier look.

I LOVE the eyeliner kit. LOVE it!

Has anyone tried the eyebrow kit? Mine are way too pale for my new haircolor.

I have! The medium one, and I really like it.

I only use Revlon Colorstay. I've tried every eyeliner on the market and nothing compares to the staying power of Revlon. It looks the same in the evening as when I put it on in the morning. Great stuff!

I saw in Cosmo today that Neutrogena now has "Mineral Sheers". I looked on their website and couldn't find it, but drugstore.com sells it. I wonder how well it works.

My Ma is an Avon lady and I was telling her about Bare Minerals. She says Avon will be coming out with a mineral line in the next few months.

I noticed that the first 3 ingredients are the same...supposedly Bare Minerals are just Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride and Iron Oxides, and the Neutrogena line contains Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Soybean Flour (Glycine Soja), Silk Powder, Zinc Stearate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

Personally, I would think that "less" is "more"... less ingredients would be better overall for the skin...:shrug:

I agree.

Since I'm probably still the biggest cosmetic cheapie on SOMD who didn't fork over $60 bucks for BM face powder (teehee) I'll tell you.

I've been using Neutrogena Healthy Defense face powder for years, and always had good results. A while ago, I tried Physicians Formula Mineral Wear (which I love even more). I recently tried the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Mineral Powder Foundation (Neutral to Medium #40). The color matched, but the Physicians Formula is so much better, because I can use my own brush, which is way better than the built in brush of the Neutrogena brand. It's not bad, and would be good to keep in your purse if you carry make-up (I don't) for touch ups.

The PF is just so much better and lasts all day, I haven't needed to touch it up at all. The price on both is definitely right by me so...give 'em a try.

I'll try it when I run out of Bare Minerals. If the effect is the same, $10 is better than $25 for the same amount of product.

I'll be willing to try it... but I hope it is as friendly to my skin as Bare Minerals is. I never realized how must stress I causing my skin until I switched to BM and saw a major reduction in skin irritation, inflammation and pore size.

I haven't noticed much of a difference in my skin since I've started using Bare Minerals, but then again, I still have very young skin, and have never worn makeup on a daily basis, thus have been very gentle on my skin.

I've seen the same. Moreso when I started using Philosophy's 'Purity Made Simple.'

I checked out their line online and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. It looks like I may be making a switch when all of my expensive stuff runs out.

Will definitely check it out
