female only Ladies, anyone use Bare Minerals?

[travelgirl 3]

I was wondering if anyone else uses Bare Minerals makeup?? I do, and I LOVE it!

Anyone else?? What's your experience with it?

[jmarruda 22]

Love it!!!

[lisah25 3]

I totally love it. I have Roseaca, and this covers it up better then anything else. My skin seems to like it, no break-outs or anything, and I love how natural it looks.

Ok, so I have a question: I use it and I DO love it. It's so flawless! HOWEVER, when I workout, or get sweaty from being outside, if I have it on, it irritates my face, feels like it's kind of burning....but it never causes redness or anything, and the irritation goes away as soon as I remove it. It also goes away when I stop perspiring, if I'm not somewhere I can take it off. Does anyone else experience this, or am I an oddball?

[jmarruda 22]

Well, I don't want to call you an oddball but I have never experience that, but I also have never worn it while exercising...

[travelgirl 3]

Well, I would prefer to take it off before I get all sweaty, but with the temps being very near 100, it's hard to even go outside without getting sweaty...and I try to get in a little exercise, even if it's just walking, whenever I can during the day at work. It's just not feasable to remove it and re-apply 4 times a day...

Just wish I knew what caused it, and if there's some kind of lotion or something I can use under it to prevent it. I have NOT tried the skin Rev-er Upper lotion, mostly because it's $21 for 2.3 ozs...not sure if it would be worth it What do you all think?

I have used mineral make up for a while now, and not just Bare Minerals... I get the knock-off brands from eBay (very affordable, but hit and miss with results).

The best off brand that I have had success with is Everyday Minerals Mineral Makeup - Foundation, Eye Shadow, Concealer, Lip Colors, and Blushes by Everyday Minerals ... and I really love eBay for the brushes.

I was so excited about getting it......then I got it and I didnt like it. My skin is very dry and you can see all my pores and any little wrinkle or line on my face. I asked the girls at Sephoria and they said it wasnt meant for dry skin....and they told me to try The Supernatural. I love it...makes me look fresh and flawless.

I use it all the time, and I love it. I can't tell I have any makeup on and I love not feeling it.

Hee hee! I have it and liked it, I guess, too. But for me, going from no makeup at all to this was too much of a hassle. It's all I can do to put moisturizer on my face in the morning.

But I do like Everyday Minerals, which is what I bought. As far as makeup goes, this powder stuff is the most comfortable thing I've ever tried.

the skin revver upper may help with the irritation...might be worth a try...

[BabyGotBack 0]

What I do when I am going to workout, i just spot touch up my face with the little brush and the foundation.

Also you may try brushing on the mineral veil on first. I also heard to do this if you have oily skin and tend to get shiny later on in the day.

I also tend to have dry skin in some places, so I have to use the Skin Rever uper. It doesn help. I buy it online so they sent me a free one. But, when it finishes, I will definitely be going to buy some more. It does make a difference for me.
