I have an emergency makeup question! Please read!..?

Question

I really need a natural makeup (aka one that does NOT make your face have ugly dents in them over time like several women I know). One that does not cost an arm and a leg like bare minerals ($60 + s&h!). And what I liked about bare minerals products is that supposedly it does not streak and come off when wet or sweating, which would be great for me b/c I workout a lot and have karate.

SO..any suggestions?

and

1. What is the difference between blush and foundation? I want to just use cheeks and face makeup. No eye shadow and stuff, I already do lip gloss.

THANKS SOO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU!!

Answer 1

well i would pay 60$ for healthy skin

1. foundation covers all the zits and uneven skin on your face, and blush makes your cheks red/pink

GOD BLESS YOU TOO!!!!!!!! good luck

Answer 2

You should try M*A*C Studio fix, it's kind of heavy, if you want a lightweight use cliniques press powder. those two are no more than $30 each. If you  want to go cheaper go with true match  by loreal. Foundation is the base before the powder, it covers any scars or blemishes that you may have in your face, blush gives you color, be sure to use a color that goes with your skin tone. Good luck! Hope this helps..

Answer 3

Get Loreals Bare Natural. That's what I use. It's really light and you NEVER get streak line. Simple to put on, easy and natural, it only costs $16 too!

Blush adds definition or color to your face. Some girls with light skin use it so their faces don't looke washed out. What shade you should go with blush all depends on your skin tone. If it's dark go lighter pink ((brings out cheekbones)) if your lighter go darker ((adds color))

To apply is suck in your cheeks ((youll look pretty stupid :D)) then buff the brush and brush is lightly on your cheekbones

Answer 4

Blush is a colored powder or cream used to tint your cheeks and other areas of your face. Foundation is a base for other makeup and is also used to cover up blemishes and acne and stuff.

Answer 5

Well, first...foundation covers your whole face to give you a balanced complexion.  And blush just goes on your cheeks to give you a healthy glow.

Second, there are lots of water proof makeups out there in almost every brand.  Just hit your Walmart, go to the make up section and look for waterproof make up.  Also...a foundation tip, you should blend a small dot on the inside of you wrist.  If you can't "see" it (ie: it blends in seamlessly) then it's the right color for your face...the worst makeup mistake people make is having the defined line where their makeup starts and stops! :)

I would actually recommend that you go to the mall, hit a store that has a makeup counter and ask for assistance...they'll give you a make over (FREE!!) and help you to find the best colors and options for you!

Good luck and happy makeup'ing! :)

Answer 6

I haven't met a drugstore foundation that would be as flawless as luxe ones. In this case the investment's worth it. I'd just get bare minerals if I were you (you know you won't be satisfied until you do, anyway).

The difference between blush and foundation is that foundation is applied to your entire face, and blush only to the cheeks (if you are Caucasian, blush is pink, while foundation is beige).

Answer 7

E.L.F mineral foundation an blush.

there 5.00 each

Answer 8

Well, before using any make-up but on a lotion on your face. DON'T USE A PAD COVER-UP; use like loose powder, it will stay on better. and you could try any mineral veil that wouldn't make you look all spotty. And i use bare minerals but before that i used mary kay, and it worked good. and it is good for your face.

hopes that helps.

Answer 9

Try Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation.  It is much less expensive and does a wonderful job.  Make sure that you cleanse your face every day, morning and night.  It is also a good idea to cleanse and put on fresh makeup after sweating--just to get the salt, etc., off your skin.  Foundation goes all over the face.  Blush is just for the cheek bones.

Answer 10

well, just so you know, bare minerals is only about $23 average for the all-coverage powder foundation which is what you'd want. foundation is most commonly a liquid and its used to create a type of base under all of your makeup. usually you wouldnt use it though unless you need some serious coverage, and since you exercise a lot, i wouldnt wear it. blush is applied to the apples of your cheeks only. if you end up buying the bare minerals foundation, then i would highly recommend their "soft focus true" blush. its amazing. if you ever need anymore help, im like a bare minerals addict, and have gone through every type of makeup under the sun, always coming back to that product.

good luck with everything!

Answer 11

physician's formula, you can buy the product line at most drug stores.

foundation is the base of your makeup, the stuff you match as close to your skin color as you can, show that you can achieve natural-looking flawless skin. blush is powdered or cream that is used only moderately on the cheeks to add a bit of color, ranging from orangey-pinks to reddish tones
