Help me find a better Mineral Makeup?

Question

First of all I am prone to having acne and I have oily skin. Because I have those two working against me I can't wear conventional forms of makeup. Most makeups have talc in the ingredients, which as most of you know is a no no for oily skin because of the irritation that it causes. So I've been on a mineral makeup kick for about a year now. I've tried Bare Escentuals, Physician's Formula, and Everyday Minerals all without any luck. They just break me out like crazy. So, I was wondering if anyone with in a similar situtation has had any luck with any other brand besides the three I've mentioned. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

try jane's mineral powder. its talc free :]

Answer 2

i have the same problem you do and "maybelline mineral power" POWDER works best for me... i am not sure if there is talc in the ingredients though. it's like $9 at Walmart...

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

If you want the BEST mineral makeup out there (and cheaper then bare escentuals) I highly suggest you check out faerie organic minerals. I am a makeup artist and I deal with a lot of high end clientele. I do major events like photo shoots, weddings, etc.. I have used bare escentuals in the past and found them to be lacking in way to many areas.......1) BEWARE: are you going to be one of the very many that come down with the dreaded itch and irritation that makes you scratch your face all day, that develops a rash or acne, this is very common with BE as they use a cheap mineral called Bismuth Oxychloride, that is known to be a skin irritant in some people (if you google bare escentuals bismuth oxychloride itch- you will find countless people with irritation, acne and rashes from it)..................2)They lie and say its natural and then they use PARABEAN (links to cancer) preservatives in their mineral veil and other skincare...............3) IT GETS GREASY AND FAST!  Due to the pearlescent bismuth oxychloride it makes you look very shiny and greasy, especially in photos..................4) There are sooo many complaints of needing to reapply all day as it wears off by lunch. ...........................These are just a few of the reasons to NOT buy it........Don't Fret though I have found a company tha I have been using now for 2 years that beats BE by miles. FAERIE ORGANIC MINERALS. My clientele loves it.

1) They are NATURAL! No parabeans, No chemicals, No preservatives, No cheap Fillers (cornstarch, talc etc) NO BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE, NO ITCH!

2)They use a HIGH END EXPENSIVE MINERAL (like Jane Iredale) called Boron Nitride, it is antibacterial (helps heal any breakouts), skin perfecting, skin soothing

3) IT LASTS ALL DAY! Even in heat! And dosen't look greasy (which is important for me because of photographs)

4) It is more affordable than BE and you can get a sample kit to TRY for FREE! (you just pay shipping like $5.99)

I will never use anything else. It makes you glowy and gorgeous, flawless and it is truly good for your skin, covers acne and redness really well. I highly recommend you try this first. You won't be dissapointed. Read the reviews in their guestbook, so many have switched from BE.

my skin is like that too . I use "maybelline mineral foundation" & "maybelline mineral powder." They sell it at wal-mart ; its cheap & it covers acne really well while leavinq your pores open & beinq able to breathe . Most of the other mineral make ups are wayyy to expensive . Why not use maybellines and qet the same results for cheaper ?

This is supposed to be good. They did a sample on my hand at Sam's and I really liked it. But I use the Everyday Minerals and love it so I cannot personally vouch for the demure mineral makeup.

Answer 8

Try this one :)
