Question

What is the best mineral powder makeup/foundation? thx?

Answer 1

Bare Escentuals is a great brand. Their foundation (Bare Minerals) is superior to any other and a little goes a long way. The brand might seem a little pricey at first glance, but it really lasts a long time and once you try it, you will never go back to regular foundation. All you do is put a little in the lid of the jar, swirl the brush around in the lid, tap off excess and apply in a circular motion around your face. It literally feels like you are not wearing makeup, however, it gives GREAT coverage. It makes your face look almost flawless but compared with the liquid foundations and the old powder types, you feel like you're wearing nothing. It's really strange but true! They have a fantastic selection of colors to choose from. I use the medium tan. Their concealer is fabulous and easy to apply, I totally recommend the bisque concealer along with the foundation, at least to start. Great coverage. You can purchase it on line at Qvc.com or http://www.bareescentuals.com/. Either way, they have starter kits to purchase which makes it more afordable, and gives you everything necessary including the brushes. Also, you can view a "how to apply" video at the following link which will be good for you and extemely helpful. Watch it and see. If it seems to good to be true, it is not. Trust me...it is wonderful! The link to see the video is:

Hope this was helpful! Good luck and God bless!

Answer 2

before you buy any big size kit or anything you would be smart to try some samples of various brands first.

thats what i did.

The ones with bismuth in them made me itch (avon, bare minerals, arbonnes, loreal, etc... it's in lotsa brands).

I'm using the Hollywood formula of LA Minerals and have been for about 8 months now. I LOVE IT!!! It's the best MMU I've ever used!

Makes your face look flawless and like you just have perfect skin. Get some samples of it, and samples of their veil too. Get samples of concealer if you need it. Ohhh I LOVE their Lit Up bronzer too! It's sooo pretty!

the samples are like $1 and they ship them free...then you will know if you like it and find the right shade before you buy full size stuff.

I love ALIMA minerals. They have a great color range and you can order a bunch of samples to see what color is right for you. Samples are generous and CHEAP. Plus its only pure minerals, not like stuff you can get in drugstores and it doesn't contain irritating bismuth oxychloride like Bare Essentuals. If you're lighter skinned, then Everyday Minerals is a good choice as well, and cheaper. Plus they give out a free starter kit (plus shipping and handling)

Answer 7

As with any beauty product, the best varies from person to person.  It will all depend on your skin tone /undertones, type, texture, look you want to achieve, etc.  Trial and error is expensive, but that's really the only way to be sure.

However, if you wish to go by what I and many others have tried, it seems that Bare Minerals goes well with many skin types (including Asian and Black women; or men as the case may be).  Shu Uemura has an even better product, but it will cost you and arm and a leg.
