Answer 1

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.

Well, i've used it for about 8-9 months now, and i can safely tell you:

-it hasnt caused me to breakout

-no clogging of the pores

-controls oiliness

-flawless look

-easy to put on

-good coverage

-stays on for a good amount of time

Just try and find out if your skin breaks out from bismuth oxychloride, beacuse ppl who broke out from the make up broke out from this.

If you want a better review, go here

www.makeupalley.com

they have ALOT of reviews about make up.

ps. it doesn't help your skin in anyway...well it didn't for me I dont consider it "good for the skin" good luck!

oh and make sure you cleanse the brushes weekly if you do get it to prevent breakouts!

Answer 3

yes, natural makeup its very good. it tends to stay on all day.

and to clear up your skin use clean and clear advantage kit and also use clean and clear morning burst (its orange) its excellent.

Answer 4

yes it does I have skin almost exactly like yours and it works so well on me my skin looks flawless with it on and it helps your skin because of the minerals in it so you should really try it you would love it

Answer 5

I love it! i think it may be the most universal line out there cuz it seems to work for all skin types. give it a try

Answer 6

Love it... well worth the price..  simple to apply very natural feels like nothing really looks like nothing i have people tell me all the time even my husband asked me when i first start wearing it if i was wearing makeup because he said he couldn't see or feel it

Another good one to look into if you feel you need more coverage is Sheer Cover.. i haven't used it personally but I know a friend who has a birth mark on her neck and she uses it and it has great coverage and it is still a mineral makeup that is light and simple to use and it comes with a some facial cleansers and creams in start up kit.

(because the bare minerals will cover minor blemishes but not if you have severe scaring and blemishes and stuff )

Also can i just go ahead and recommend walmarts AcneFree brand acne clearing system..you can get it for about $20 and It works wonders... I feel from experience even better so than Proactiv which dried my skin out really really bad.

Answer 7

Omg yes! It is so amazing! I always thought you had to have perfect skin for it to work, but my skin isn't perfect and it works! Some people try it once and say it doesn't have enough coverage, but they aren't putting it on right. So you decide how much coverage you want by applying more. You kinda put it on in layers, but it looks smooth and beautiful. I would really recommend it, and I know it's expensive but it is worth every penny and it has seriously saved my life because my liquid foundation looked nasty. I would get it as Sephora because they sell the starter kits and you can return it even after you bought it if it doesn't work for you. So you really have nothing to lose!
