Help! What mineral makeup won't wear out and cover up blemishes...?

Question

I have read most of the other posts and most people say that Bare Minerals is better. I want to make the purchase, however, I wanted to get everyone's opinion first.

I have very oily, acne prone skin. I use Proactive, which works just okay, and I don't use a foundation but I use a mineral powder by Physicians Formula, which I don't like. It seems every powder, concealer or foundation I use, by midday my face is an oil slick. Will Bare Minerals help with the oil, or is there something else I can do? I am mostly looking for a makeup that I don't have to worry about my face breaking about more and wearing off after a few hours. HELP!

Answer 1

proactive has a mineral makeup too (if u look in their book that comes with the proactive there is makeup in there), mac is good, and so is bobbi brown...maybe try those

Answer 2

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!

Answer 3

I use sheer cover and also have very oily skin.  I don't think it makes me break out, I'm breaking out now because I'm pregnant, but the coverage is really good and it's so easy to put on and natural looking.  Have you thought about getting oil sheets?  That's been the best thing for me.  They don't wipe off your makeup or anything, but the really get rid of the shine.

Answer 4

If you have issues with acne and blemishes, you may want to stay away from bare minerals.  I have had issues with it aggravating my skin as have many other women because of the bismuth ingredient it contains.

As a professional makeup artist I reccomend and use KmS Mineral Essentials.  I prefer the coverage over bare minerals, and it also contains an ingredient that is an amazing oil absorber.  KmS wears longer than bare minerals especially under bright lights and in warm humid weather.

Answer 5

well bare minerals made me break out cuz of the bismuth oxychloride in it. I have a REALLY oily Tzone and I use LA Minerals products. No bismuth, looks great ALL DAY LONG, feels great,price is right too:

1.Bisque concealer on blemishes or spots.

2. put their mineral oil control powder on the tzone

3.Hollywood mineral foundation over the whole face

4.Veil on top of everything.

If I were you I'd get some samples first. They are like $1  each and they ship them free. That's what I did, then I got a full size kit later.

My samples lasted for days:)

Answer 7

Bare Minerals will work great especially with the oil, you will use the Mineral Vail during the day to bring down the shine of the oil, play around with how much foundation you put on, you might be surprised that you will need  a lot less than you think.  Make sure you buy the powder concealer as well, this will help hide any of the more prominent blemishes.  I use this foundation, and I have an oily T-Zone

Good Luck
