Bare Minerals Makeup

I have tried for years to find a makeup that wouldn't melt off of my face in hot weather or look like a mask after I applied it.Liquid foundations were NOT the answer.Neither were "cream to powders" or any powder makeup I ever tried.(And I've tried dozens beginning from age 13.I'm now 27.)

Both of my sisters started wearing Bare Minerals and I was impressed how beautiful and flawless their skin looked.But neither of my sisters have the level of skin problems that I do.I have acne, scarring, VERY large pore, and my face is extremely oily.I figured it couldn't hurt to give Bare Minerals a try.After all, I'd tried everything else.

Bare Minerals is everything I could have hoped for and more!My skin looks air-brushed and almost completely flawless.I'm not going to lie and say it hides everything - no makeup possibly can, but it does work wonders on my skin!I don't have near as many breakouts and when I do, they're not as bad.If I fall asleep without washing my face I don't wake up to a dozen new pimples in the morning.It's light, airy, and non-drying.Yet on my very oily skin I can go almost all day without a touch up.(And when I do a touch-up, just a little of the mineral veil is all I need!)

The downside to the makeup is it IS expensive.If you're going to buy it, be prepared to fork over a hefty amount of change.A decent starter kit is around $60.You can find samples of the product on eBay a lot cheaper so you don't have to commit.As much as I love the make up, not everone does.The packaging leaves something to be desired as well.It can get a bit messy and there's a little bit of a learning curve when you're first applying it.They do furnish you with a DVD that teaches you the proper application method and I highly recommend watching it.The biggest thing with Bare Minerals is LESS is MORE.The makeup lasts forever, it seems.A jar of foundation and a jar of mineral veil usually last me several months and I apply makeup every single day.

All in all this is great stuff!
