Bare Minerals By Bare Essentials By Ashton on Oct 05, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Some foundations can have some pretty harmful effects on your skin. They can cause skin to break-out, become irritated and inflammed, and even cause skin to look oily or shiny. It used to be such a pain putting on liquid foundation. It was gooey and sticky and would spill everywhere. Then depending on what brand you get, if you sweat or get rained on then it becomes streaky. I decided that it was time to switch to a foundation that came in a powder form. I tried the ones that were compressed but when I applied it, my skin looked uneven. I saw Bare Minerals on TV and thought I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did! I refuse to use any other type of foundation. Bare Minerals is a loose powder that is mineral based so it's actually good for your skin! It blends perfectly and they come in little circular containers that make them easy to apply. The containers are supposed to last a month but mine have lasted up to 3! So if you think about it, $25 every 3 months is not that bad at all!
