Anyone use Bare Minerals - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Emily Ann Your makeup looks every bit as good as Bare Minerals - especially the squiggly nose and mouth lol. They are both looking equally as good. Is yours all natural minerals? I have extremely sensitive skin and untill I found B M I could only use a little teeny bit of blush and poder. Cookie

I'm not sure, here's a link to their ingredients in every product they have:
Everyday Minerals Ingredients

I will say though, I have very sensitive skin and I usually have allergic breakouts to everything I put on my face foundation/powder wise but with this it doesn't bother me and if anything it has cleared up what minimal acne I had.

Hope this helps!

I could have sworn that I saw a post somewhere in one of these threads that gave a less expensive alternative to the brushes.

Anyone know?? I've just received a starter kit and the dinky little brush I got with it is making me crazy. lol!

Also, any suggestions for reducing the mess? All of the powder everywhere?

Overall, I'm loving it though! I usually have to wear the maximum coverage liquid foundations, but this covers really well and feels wonderfully light.

I'm not sure how much the brushes are in these kits but you can get some great brushes at Target, the brand is Sonia Kashuk or from CVS you can get Essence of Beauty. Hope this helps some!

Oh and about the powder everywhere, I haven't found anything to help... hopefully someone else will have something!

I use the Sonia Kashuk brushes too - I alternate them with the BareMinerals brushes when I wash them. I actually think I like the SK better - they are softer.

I just saw this thread.

Anywho...I have been using BM for over 8 years now and trust me I hate that powder everywhere and I can't seem to control it either. You really can't see it until you wipe the counters/mirrors/tile in the bathroom.

I used practically everything BM and love QVC for their deals on BM. Only thing I have that I am not using much of since my skin is so fair is their tanning lotion. I love it but it's so dark and I have to mix it with face cream.

SANDYSAND · 07-16-2008, 05:29 AM

I been using BE for about 5 years now and I am totally happy. I do not wear lots of him and I am just happy with a bit of lip gloss and blush. I love the Lisa's Favorites package from QVC

I happen to agree with Cyndi with the mess that it makes...I started using a tray (small one) It's been really helpful and all I have to do now it's remove the products and just wipe it clean.

Judy in Waco · 07-16-2008, 06:12 AM

Thanks! That's what I needed to know about the brushes.

Cool!

The tray is a good idea for at least controlling the mess.

Thank you.

Hi Judy, I love my Bare Minerals but the mess was a real mess. I solved that problem by going to the $1 store and purchasing a turkey platter in yellow to match my room - lol!!! It holds all the mess AND I use what falls on the "make up platter" This one I bought has 4 little finger like holders on the edge and I use them to hold my eyeliner etc. So, for $1 I made out really well. hope this helps.

I looooove BM!! I'm a huge fan! I love all the different eye shadows because I play around w/ them and mix and match. I usually wear a very light took for work (sometimes I don't even use mascara) but when hubby and I go out at night, then I dress it up a bit.

LOOOVE BM!!!
