Is the Bare Minerals make up as awesome as it seems?

Question

I see it on TV all of the time. I HATE MAKE UP. And I think a powder that acts like a concealer would be like...a miracle- if it's actually as great as they say on the commercial.

Has anyone ever tried it or have it? Would I be wasting my money or not?

Answer 1

I received it as a gift from a friend over a year ago, and I love it.  Bare Minerals looks like a powder, but it's actually creamy.  It does not provide full coverage, so if that's what you are looking for you probably won't like Bare Minerals.  It provides at best medium coverage, but it's very natural and after about two months it made my skin look better than it has in a long time.  I use the foundation, the Mineral Veil, the mascara (sometimes), the blush and the eyeshadows.  I like all of them, but my very favorite product is the foundation.  My favorite brushes are the Handy Buki brush and the Concealer brush.

Answer 2

I dont see what the big deal is, but yes your right, I am a professional makeup artist and dont like to wear makeup but will wear a powder so in that case I would try it, it pretty pricey so there are a lot of brands on the market, even Revlon and drugstore brands are carrying minerals now because of the trend.  Try it if you dont like it return it.

Answer 3

yes its great gives an amazing cover but is very natural just make sure you get the correct colour ive also got the bronzer and blusher they last ages the foundation powder runs out much faster go out and treat yourself to some x

Answer 4

I haven't but it seems like it would work, you should try it and return it if you don't like the results  

Answer 5

I got the lady at Sephora to try it on me..

first of all it felt very light, as it IS a mineral powder

but then again, when i looked in the mirror, it was very obvious that i was wearing makeup.

my skin is medium toned. it made me look too chalky even though it supposedly matched my skin tone.. i wasnt too crazy about it.

but i guess it depends on thecoverage you want

if you want a light feel and light coverage, i say go with the mineral powder. if not, go with pressed powders or what you normally wear.

Answer 6

It depends on your skin type. The lighter you skin the better it does to cover up

Answer 7

yes i use it and i love it! it makes the complexion look alot better maybe not perfect but improved! :]

Answer 8

Actually, I hate make up too, but yes it is.

I got it at Ulta (a makeup store) and i dont wear it very much but when I do, its amazing! It is a great cover up or foundation or bronzer or whatever you are looking for because you can hardly feel it on and it doesnt cause you to breakout.

So it is not a waste of money. I would definatly try it.

Answer 9

i have the translucent powder, and it's alright. i find it doesn't really work that well with my skin, but i haven't used it all over my face, because i don't wear foundation and so forth. i used it only on my eyes.
