I used to like bare minerals and now I don't. I don't really know what happened, but all of a sudden it wasn't working for me anymore. My skin is always dry on my forehead, and not just regular dry, but like flakey dry so powders look bad.

I have a question, who makes a waterproof liquid eyeliner? and I mean really water proof? I get watery eyes frequently, but I love the look of liquid liner. I've tried "waterproof" liquid and not even close.

One more thing, who has had luck with mascara for thin short downward pointing asian eyelashes? I've about given up. I just wear fakes if I go out.

My eyelashes are thin and while not pointed downward...are not pointed way up or curved or anything. I swear by Lancome. You should try it....you can return it if it does not work.

I LOVE makeup! For mascara I use Fresh Supernova Mascara...Lancome's is also good I also like Dior but not as much..Fresh is my absolute current fav!. For the winter I use Make up Forever foundation and concealer but since it is getting hot out I am using mineral makeup which stays on in the heat I love it. There' so many brands I love but diff. ppl have their diff. tastes Oh and also for face wash, cream I am using Korres. It's all natural and I love it! It's so gentle on the face, since I do have sensitive skin. All from Sephora. Sephora has just about everything! lol

MAC has an eyeliner that is absolutely waterproof..like you can put it in your eyelids..the part inside and it won't smudge or rub off at all. It's called MAC Fluid line in 'black track'.

Yeah I heard about it too, but I'm not about to drop $100+ on something that may or may not work, and knowing my luck they'll just make my like 5 lashes longer, but not thicker or make any grow! I should just give up!

If I use the mineral makeup as my foundation, can I use it over the concealer that I already use? I've hesitated buying the mineral stuff because they all say that you should use their concealer also but that's just a powder (right??) and doesn't have the coverage that I need. I now only use dabs of concealer in certain spots on my face and Lancome loose and pressed powder. I haven't used "foundation" in so long because I could never find one that wasn't oily looking or didn't cake up on me. I guess it's not doing too bad for me because people are always surprised to hear me say I don't use foundation. There are just times that I would like a more full coverage - like winter-time when my complexion gets sallow.

And if you think I should try the mineral powder as a foundation, which one should I try? We don't have a Sephora here but we have an Ulta.

Right now I am using Mineral powder as 'full face' coverage and i use my regular concealer which is by make up forever. I put on the concealer first, then i put on the mineral powder and kinda go over the concealer and you can't even tell. It looks all the same color. Another thing...I had the same problem as you-I used to HATE the thought of wearing foundation cause I hated that feeling of it being caked on or greasy and I tried this water based, oil free foundation by Cargo and let me tell you, it is sooo lightweight! I still love it but I switched to Laura Mercier and now to Make up Forever just because I like trying different ones. But I would totally still use Cargo, it's very light and does not feel like other foundations out there.

They have the careprost imitation one for $10 a bottle and i think each bottle lasts about 3 months. I heard it's like the same thing and a lot of ppl are happy with it. I was seriously thinking of trying it, the only thing is that I am not too happy that it hasn't been out that long. I feel like more research and testing needs to be done. What happens after you stop using it? IDK I'm just scared lol But I wouldn't mind longer lashes I guess though for you..i would def. just recommend using canola oil every night. It makes hair thicker and healthier and has improved eyelashes. I also recommend this to condition your lashes Product Reviews: MAVALA Eye-Lite Double Lash - Folica.com
And just a great mascara

Thanks, both of you, for the mineral makeup lessons. My biggest concern was still being able to use my concealer with the powder. I think I am going to try it. I did learn that Ulta carries it so I can go look at it. I looked on-line and see that there are two different ones.... the regular 15 spf and the MATTE 15 spf. I don't care for the shiny look but would matte be too dull, I wonder?

Cleanser - Burts Bees Orange Essence facial cleanser. It has olive oil and orange oil. Soooo good for your skin!

Eye Cream - Burts Bees Royal Jelly eye cream - so soothing!! love this stuff

Exfoliant - Burts Bees citrus facial scrub about every other week. Great for pore cleansing

Dr Hauschka Cleansing Clay Mask - amazing stuff for getting rid of impurities

Primer - Lorac Aqua Prime

I actually don't wear much "make up / make up". I just take a big brush and sweep a bit of blush or bronzer across my face.

Mascara - Maybelline Great Lash

This enables you to mix it to make the perfect color for you! Unless you have a very different skin tone one of those combos should easily work for you and I promise I would tell you if it wasn't safe to order online! But get the start up kit because you get a concealer brush, a foundation brush and a blush brush plus the 2 shades of foundation, plus the bronzer and a how to video! I have yet to hear of a person that doesn't like it! Let me know what you decide! I have used loreal mineral make-up and it's okay but doesn't come close to being as good as bare minerals!

I just got the tan starter Kit and the also the starter kit the eyes. I love it. I actually just use the medium tan foundation instead of the tan, I dont need to mix them together because right now im starting to get darker by being out in the sun. Once the winter comes Im sure I will be mixing them so that I can appear alittle tanner. But I definitly recommend Bare minerals, it was a great purchase

I found that mineral makeup didn't work for me... It didn't offer nearly enough coverage. I've had horrible acne since I was a child and although it's more under control now, I still get breakouts and I have scarring. I use MAC for foundation, concealer, and loose powder. Plus, they're the only ones that seem to make makeup light enough for my ultra fair skin! Even mineral makeup wasn't light enough, it makes me look like a pumpkin
