Is bare minerals a good foundation?

Question

Is bare minerals a good foundation?

Answer 1

I see alot of commercials for it. They say it doesn't clog your pores so I would think that is a good thing.

Answer 2

yesss it is

Answer 3

No it is not! If you have sensitive skin care like I do, then you need to stop using bare minerals.

Alot of people been using that foundation end up having rash, dry skin and flaky.

The reason why is because bare minerals contain  bismuth oxychloride, which is bad for your skin! Stop using it.

Switch it to Clinique!

Answer 4

yep! i love itttt

Answer 5

YES! they are great! Sadly I don't use mines as often as I want to.

Before going out and spending $60 on something you haven't tried out.. I recommend going to:

http://www.everydayminerals.com

and get your free customized samples. It'll last 6-10 applications and it'll give you an idea of what to expect from minerals. It cost like $4 for shipping.  

Answer 6

Bare minerals didn't have a shade that matched my skin. I had to buy a couple of shades and mix them to get a match. :(

Loreal did though (and it's way cheaper).

Mineral foundations are the way to go though. Find one that matches, and you'll be a happy gal.  

Answer 7

well my mom bought it and when she uses it it doesnt go on smoothly. its all spotchy and not the best. idk if its her fault for not using it right but it seems good.

Answer 8

KRYOLAN  

IS BETTER  

Answer 9

It is good if

1) you only need light to medium coverage

2) do not have acne or prone to acne

3) do not have sensitive skin

4) do not have oily or combo skin

But honestly, I'd say no. The Bismuth Oxychloride is a known irritant and is an active ingredient in their foundations, which claim to have no irritating ingredients (their infomercials claim so, which makes me so mad!) and also, their "glow" is a sheen that makes girls prone to oily skin look like an oil slick, and because it can irritate your skin if you are sensitive, it could break you out. Also, when watching those infomercials, the women with acne scars have medium coverage because you can see some scars still. And with the rip off of their price tag, you can do MUCH better with something with double the product and half the cost.

Answer 10

its wonderful,but the chemicals are badd.you will have no idea what they put in the minerals.its definitely worth buying though [[;

Answer 11

yes! its not unhealthy for your face like other foundations are. but if you have a dry face you should probably stick with liquid foundation since powder dries out your face. or just put lotion on before so it wont look cakey =]

Answer 12

yes it's amazing i love it

Answer 13

h**l to the NO!!! Even for all you people who say you love it, its got a lot of chemical based ingredients. Its pure gimmick w/ the 'makeup so pure you can sleep in' NO makeup is made for you to sleep in. The specific ingredidant thats very irritating for most people is oxid---- bismuth.... >> go here for peoples reviews :http://makeupalley.com/product/showrevie...

For a GREAT mineral foundation (thats actually minerals) go to everyday minerals!! their foudnations come in four formulas: matte, semi-matte, original-glo, intensive. I LOVE intensive formula full coverage but still way natural!! and its only $12 for 8 grams. The only tricky thing about everyday minerals is that it may be hard for you to pick the right color through internet pics ( they have a wide range of colors based on your undertone)... BUT the good thing is that is you go to makeup-custom kits, theres a free kit you can get, you just have to pay for the shipping. in the free kit you get 3 mini samples of any foudnations( at least 4 applications each) you get a sample concelaer, and sample blush. If you want mineral def go to everyday minerals, alima, RAW minerals, etc. but stay far from BE. I cant say this enough. Didn't break me out, but the fact that its not minerals and irritates so many peoples skin scares me.

Hopefully you listen! just dont want you to break out.

Answer 14
