Bare minerals and mac?

Question

I wanted to know if you would reccomend bare minerals or mac. Is bare minerals able to provide the same coverage of mac studio fix? I seem to hear so much about people breaking out with mac studio fix and just wondered everyones take on these 2 foundations.!! Thank you...

Answer 1

I have been wondering the exact same thing....

I use the MAC studio fix and i do like it!! Good coverage,

But the i hear all the buzz about Bareminerals being better for your skin and that it can give just as well coverage? so i am not to sure??

I will probaly end up just buying the Bare Minerals and trying it out for myself.....

Answer 2

If you have sensitive or breakout-prone skin, avoid Bare Minerals. It has a filler ingredient called bismuth oxychloride, and it's been shown that over 50% of the population is allergic to this, whether it causes your skin to itch, or breaks you out. The only way you will know is if you try. If you do buy it, make sure you can return it if it has adverse effects on your skin. I prefer MAC because it doesn't make my skin itch. It does break me out a little if I wear it for too long (all day), but the BM makes my skin itch a lot.

Answer 3

I use Select SPF 15 by MAC, and i mix a face moisturizer with it and I don't seem to have any problems with it.. I like it. I heard some problems about Studio Fix, so i might not use it, or recommend it..
