I heard so many great things about Bare Minerals but I will post if I try either one. I'm curious to hear other comments too. Clinique vs bare minerals? - Yahoo!

OK I have to share my 'story' with you....
I went to NM last year to this poshy fun spa like medical spa for skin care. I had a facial and my mom did too. At the end of the facial they do your makeup for free. Well they boasted a famous makeup guy from Chanel. His name is Conrad Sanchez. He was there, he did my moms facial and BOTH of our makeups.
Here is a pic of him with the Chanel team - he is retired from that now.

Anyways, I talked to him about Clinique and he said it was a spin off of Este Lauder I believe, it was meant to target younger audiences, so while mom shopped for her makeup, her daughter would have the clinique counter to shop from. He told me that once a woman hits over 30 it's time to graduate from Clinique face makeup. It does nothing to keep skin YOUNGER looking. He said it's good for younger girls with good skin, but for older women, (over 30) and girls (any age) with problem skin, clinique is not really the best product for them. He HIGHLY recommended mineral makeup like BE and so did my dermo. I used to live by Clinique for years... I still swear thier mascara is the best out there. Ive been told to try Dior, but for $22 a tube.. I am really happy with clinique's mascara and their eyeshadows and their eyeliner (LOVE IT). As for facial cleaners, my dermo recommended Olay wash clothes and OLAY moisturizer (not Oil of Olay... just Olay... same company). I use it and my face is clearing up by the day.
