Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
so did u try it sara?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
Yeah... i tried it last night but it looked hideous but then i tried it again this morning and it came out pretty nice. like i cud literally c my skin "improving." Oh and i actually bought the russian red today... i liked it that much :D
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
hahahaha well maybe now u can motivate me to wear it out more often. u wore it to the mall! thats what i call guts!
how'd u apply it the 2nd time to make it look better?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
i think the first time i had cleaned my face w/ coconut oil (yeah that doesnt work btw) and hadn't washed it yet... this morning, my face was clean, thats wat made it better. i forget which color i used though
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
Okay, I think I'm going to Ulta and get it. How do you get it to match your skin tone when they have so few shades?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I like the fact that..it,s not like gunk on your face..great if you have smooth skin. I love the "well rested" eyeshadow..i use it for under eye concealer.:biggthumb
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I got it today! I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow morning :D
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I like how it makes my skin look overall, but I feel like the parts that need concealer are not sufficiently covered. Any tips?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
^ I think u can put concealor on over it beforehand? Did you get the kit? it comes witha how-to-DVD :D What colors did u end up getting? I know the kit has two colors that u can mix and match.... i guess thas how they get every1 to match skin tones.
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I got it a couple of weeks ago as well.. but of course none of the colours are a perfect match for me... i went back to them and got something two shades lighter..and am mixing the two before I wear it which is a much better match now. i'm liking it so far.. it's not great for coverage but i like the natural look it gives.
the only problem is that i never know if i've put enough on since it's so light and blends so naturally.. the warmth is an absolute waste..and so is the other shade in my kit..i don't know why they don't just make the kits with one colour shade each.
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
^ Same here..for every day, this is good, but for an event, traditional foundation is better. WheN i put it on, I feel it looks perfect but wheN i take a picture of it, it just looks hideous! the color is too light, the dark spots stand out, my neck looks dark etc..
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I got "light" -- which has "light" and "fairly light" in it. The how-to dvd uses the same foundations as concealers, just using the smaller brush. There isn't a separate concealer but I'm thinking of using one of my own.
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I don't think the concealer brush really does much... i'm having trouble getting a hang of sprinkling a tiny speck into the lid without dumping a whole lot out.. it's kind of irritating... i'm mixing medium with light and that's closer to my skintone however they are coming out with more colours i hear so maybe they'll have more to choose from..
sara maybe you should try mixing two shades as well?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
I have under eye dark circles and I was advised by Sephora sales rep to get a regular concealer (from Make up for ever brand) instead of mineral...i'm glad i purchased that concealer coz it works perfectly for me!
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
^really.. which one did you get?
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
well…when I wear both shades alone, it looks absolutely fine, but then I take pics of myself and it comes out chalky or uneven. Maybe its hte camera… 
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
Make-up Forever concealers are great since they contain more color pigment then cream base..hence the great full-coverage =)
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
Makeup for ever Full cover
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
i brought the packg and been using it i luv it its great 4 daily wear at work but not for parties for parites i have to use a little heavy foundation to cover up my blemish like that mouse maybellien foundation. over that i use that veil mineral powder which makes it look even better.
Re: Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals
Today when I went to get my eyebrows done, they were promoting Bare Minerals and the chick is like lemme give you a good cleanse and do your makeup with it, you’ll love it 
Im thinking I dun care what you do, Im not spending a cent.
The finished look is quite nice but I dont like the feel of it on my skin, it feels like I have makeup on. I dont like that heavy feeling.
Im wearing Medium Tan with Warm Radiance bronzer. Quite like the bronzer.
IMO good for if you are going to parties or weddings where you know there will be heaps of photos. Not for everyday.
Dont mind the tired look, I am very tired, too tired to spit out that lolly in my mouth
