I want one that will give me a lovely healthy glow and decent coverage?What is the best Mineral Foundation?
I love kms mineral essentials. I have used many other brands including bare minerals. Kms wears longer through the day for me and my skin looks absolutely amazing. I get great coverage with it as wellWhat is the best Mineral Foundation?
I would have to say Bare Minerals. I get a great coverage and it makes my skin look flawless. I have normally oily skin and whenever i apply Bare Minerals, my skin doesnt get oily or greasy, its really cool actually. i have tried alot of foundations and found Bare Minerals to be the bestttt!
BareMinerals or Glo Minerals. Glo minerals is a bit more pricy and harder to find.. but the way its milled and processed makes it more pure and bare minerals. they're both REALLY good at coverage and glow
try maybelline h20 its 50% water so its not oily, it will make your skin look whatever colour you choose also.

What is the best type of mineral powder foundation? ?
I want a mineral foundation that covers well and doesn't look caked on and one that lasts all day. I was thinking about getting the bareMinerals but it is kinda pricey. I figure there is a brand out there that is just as good but a little bit cheaper that I haven't heard of. Help please =DWhat is the best type of mineral powder foundation? ?
Being a professional makeup artist and having tried so many brands and mediums of makeup I can help you narrow this down and make your own choice. Here is a list based off my experience and expertice..........
1) No to Drugstore brands (loreal, maybelline, revlon, neutrogena etc.)........They are loaded with chemicals (including bismuth oxychloride- which is not a mineral but a metal that has been processed with tin and copper, it is well known to cause itching, rash and acne) that can aggravate your skin and break you out. Due to these unneeded chemicals and fillers they also leave your skin looking powdery, cakey, strange and dull and with time will make for an overall unhealthy complexion
2) No to bare escentuals..........this is one company who has waaaay to much hype, most of the time it's from people who have never used anything else so they haven't tried anything better. Bare escentuals uses Bismuth oxychloride which is bad for your skin. (as stated above.) they are also not truthful as they say no preservatives yet they use chemical parabeans in their mineral veil and other formulas. They also use cheap fillers like cornstarch and that is the main ingredient in their mineral veil. Their makeup wears off by midday and looks very greasy and shiny.
There are many great mineral companies out there that do not use bismuth oxychloride, I have chosen the one I use after much research looking for purity, absence of chemicals and preservatives, adhesion(how long it stays on) and overall finish (how it looks on)
I use Faerie Organic Minerals a company based near chicago, I really can't say enough good about it. Heres a few reasons I choose them above others....
1)They are natural, no preservatives, no chemicals, cheap fillers or binders
2)they are good for your skin, they help exsiting skin conditions like acne, roseaca, sensitive skin due to the zinc oxide and boron nitride
3) the ingredients they use are listed on the safety cosmetic database http://cosmeticdatabase.com and rate as very safe for your skin and health
4)their minerals are lightweight, airy, natural looking, blend easily, cover redness, acne etc very well and best of all last all day and leave a dewy glow (most companies lack somewhere in this list)
5)They are more affordable than most mineral brands
6)you can get a free sample kit to try first. It comes with 2 foundations, sheer veil (oil absorber) and bronzer
I am sure I am forgetting some additional pluses but you probably getthe idea. This was my choice based on my experience and expectations. I do recommend getting the free sample kit though. http://www.faerieorganic.com

They have the best all natural mineral foundation ever. They have no fillers that will irritate your skin, and it looks so soft and cover really good.
I also use www.Earthglominerals.com products too.
these products are very affective in covering and have no fillers or other harmful chemicals Like BE have. And very reasonable prices, if I had to choose as far as foundation, i would go with the first link i provided, and eyeshadows, i go to the second link! hope this helps.
Bare Minerals and I have tried them all. I would like to build a shrine to the people who make this stuff. Go to Ulta, Qvc.com, and of course their own site.
Physicians Formula you can get in regular stores like Walmart and Target and is my choice for the less expensive brand.
I truly thing mineral make up is the best beauty product invented since hair products. And picture a world with no hair products! LOL
I use a powder mineral foundation by Avon. I find I have to reapply it one or twice a day (maybe it's because I'm really self conscious) but it works really well. :)

What is the best mineral foundation out there?
ARTISTRY Essentials.
I've used Sheer Cover, Bare Minerals and now i use artistry. Bare minerals was okay, nothing really bad about it but after a while it broke me out so i switched and i loveee artistry. It's great coverage and so natural. It's also ranked top 5 prestige cosmetics of the world. And not found in stores, so if you're interested please do email me and i'll tell you where i get mine (:What is the best mineral foundation out there?
Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!

Do you think the Maybelline Bare Mineral Foundation is any good?
i was thinking of buying it so what is ur opinionDo you think the Maybelline Bare Mineral Foundation is any good?
I think you should go with L'Oreal Bare Naturale. The Maybelline liquid one doesn't cover up and is very sheer. The powder is loose and doesn't stick. You should try L'Oreal Bare Naturale. They have concealers and glows along with shadows and finishers to go with their foundation. It might be two or three dollars pricier, but it also lasts a heck of a lot longer than the Maybelline. It's not thick in consistancy either.Do you think the Maybelline Bare Mineral Foundation is any good?
I hate it. It is REALLY thick. It puts a layer over your skin really bad. I do however LOVE the Physicians Formula kind. Walmart has it and it is a way better product.
I actually loved it so much I did a little research on it and found out that this brand is one of the oldest and trusted brands in make up. ORIGINAL :)
Best of Luck to ya
I use it and love itblack hair

Is mineral liquid or mineral powder foundation better for oily skin?
Is mineral liquid or mineral powder foundation better for oily skin? If mineral powder foundation is used, is using an additional powder to set make-up necessary? Are there any low- to mid-price brands you would recommend?Is mineral liquid or mineral powder foundation better for oily skin?
Mineral is better because it absorbs oil and won`t clog pores. No, you do not need an additional powder. Physicians Formula Talc-Free loose powder is great for oily skin. Almay loose skin is also, but it gives more coverage. They are about $10-$11 each and go on sale often.Is mineral liquid or mineral powder foundation better for oily skin?
The less coverage you use, the better. After I began applying Vaseline to my T-zone at night before going to bed and ditching the daily liquid foundation, my skin has improved in tone and health SO much and doesn't produce nearly as much oil. I've never used mineral foundation/powder, but have found that after only a few weeks of using the Vaseline routine, my skin calmed down a lot and now only requires a layer of compact powder (I use CoverGirl TRUblend) and a few dabs of concealer. And you will feel so much better when you don't have all the weight of a liquid foundation on your skin.
Mineral powder doesn't cover that good at all...well at least for me. i have oily %26amp; acne prone skin. and when i tried it, it irritated my skin %26amp; made it itch...and plus it didn't even cover my acne or anything. it was like wearing bronzer but in your color. it was terrible. i love MAC's studio fix powder foundation. i's great coverage %26amp; its buildable %26amp; it helps with my oily skin %26amp; it covers my acne. it doesn't make me break out that i've noticed...well since i do always have acne lol. maybe you should try it %26amp; see if u like it. or maybe try another powder foundation if your not comfortable with wearing MAC's. hope i helped =)
i think powder would be better because it won't slide off as easily as liquid when you sweat.
also i heard that it absorbs the oil on your face.
i don't think you have to use separate setting powder. not sure. but for liquid you should because it can melt off your face.
physicians formula is good because it won't clog your pores %26amp; there's one that's talc free.
i would use mineral powder, but if ur skin is really oily, you migt want to use mineral liquid then put on mineral powder....its just that if your skin is really oily, it might wash away the powder, but at the same time if you put mineral liquid by itself it might look too oily automatically...so i wud say put the liquid then the powder on...
hope i helped!! :)

Does mineral makeup foundation go out of date?
I've had this mineral makeup now since December 2008, it's now July. I was wondering if it goes out of date? I've never used a mineral foundation before. But was thinking maybe it might not be good for you after a certain amount of months? Can someone explain a bit about this please?Does mineral makeup foundation go out of date?
all make up has an expiry date on it somewhere usually there's a wee picture of a pot on the label with a number next to it and the number is the number of months you should use it for before you should stop using it!Does mineral makeup foundation go out of date?
all beauty products has an expiry date on it. It has a number on the label as a guide as to how long you have with that particular product.
dont use after expiry date over
Yeah it goes off - you shud get rid soon. 6-12 months

Can you use the same powder brush you use for setting powder to the mineral powder foundation?
just wondering =)
or do u have to buy another brush for the mineral powder foundation?Can you use the same powder brush you use for setting powder to the mineral powder foundation?
If you are applying mineral foundation, you use to get a free kabuki baby brush or kabuki brush to say so.Can you use the same powder brush you use for setting powder to the mineral powder foundation?
Sweet heart, you can use any brush for whatever you want! Whatever you are comfortable with, go for it! I like having different makeup brushes just for the satisfaction, but do I really use all of them at once? not really because I get lazy trying to find them, and blah! I like using the black bush with the white bristles as well ( i have no idea what its called. its this one http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.鈥?/a> ) for everything from liquid foundation, to mineral loose foundation, to blush and to setting powder. Its just my own preference =-)
well for the foundation you use a kubuki brush.....the bristles are shorter and closer together so the foundation applies on better...then the powder brush applies the light finish.......you can buy some cheap brushes at walmart...i think they r revlon brand...they wont pretty good for me
Absolutely, since the foundation and the setting powder are both for all over the face.

Attention Ladies: What is the best type of mineral foundation to use on sensitive skin?
I am specifically looking for a mineral foundation that is hypoallergenic and will not irritate the skin. What types would you guys recommend? I was shopping for mineral foundation the other day and found some that were $16 and some that were $70! I would prefer something a little more affordable than $70 but I heard that the cheaper ones aren't always the greatest for sensitive skin. Attention Ladies: What is the best type of mineral foundation to use on sensitive skin?
bare minerals or proactiv, both are very good , proactiv is 4 senstivie skin, and doesn't clog your pores ! Attention Ladies: What is the best type of mineral foundation to use on sensitive skin?
I use Mary Kay skin products!

Have you used BARE ESCENTUALS AND JANE IRIDALE mineral foundation?
and if you have which did you prefer and why??? I currently use Bare Minerals in Light and this is a great color for me because of the yellow, so if you do prefer jane iridale what color is also closest to that.??Have you used BARE ESCENTUALS AND JANE IRIDALE mineral foundation?
I used to use bare escentuals and at first liked it but then I noticed it left me very greasy and wore off by the afternoon. I used it on several of my clientel and had to discontiue it due to irritation. I tried Jane and liked it but they use microparticles which are pretty dangerous to inhale. If you are looking for something new that is like Jane but more affordable (I consider Jane to be waaay more high class than bare)
You should really not use Bare Escentuals (this is why...)
1)They say pure minerals- not true. They use a cheap filler called Bismuth oxychloride which is not an actual mineral but a METAL that has been processed with tin and copper. It is a major skin irritant and can cause itching, rash and acne. (This is in almost all mainstream mineral makeup- AVON, loreal, maybelline, revlon, etc.....)
2)They say No preservatives- not true. They use parabean preservatives in their mineral veils and other skin care items
3) They use cheap fillers (besides bismuth they use cornstarch)
4)They get greasy and shiny by afternoon and start to slide off the face
5)They are overpriced and overhyped for what they are giving you
What I use on myself and clientele and why........
Faerie Organic Minerals is the best I have come across for many factors heres my list............
1)They are all natural, No preservatives at all, no parabeans,
2)No cheap fillers, No BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE, no cornstarch or talc
3)They do not coat their minerals (some companies do this and you should be aware, they are not good for your skin and could cause chemical rash or acne) some companies coat their minerals with dimethicone, silicone or other synthetic ingredients
4)They do not use nano particles or microparticles (some companies brag about these particles) (jane uses these) they are very dangerous to your health when inhaled, which is common since minerals are loose powder.
5)They use an expensive high end mineral like the high end companies (Jane Iredale) called Boron Nitride which is the main ingredient I look for as boron is amazing for the skin. It is known to be antibacterial (helps heal acne while you wear it), a skin perfector and soother.
6)Their minerals are LIGHT, AIRY, NATURAL LOOKING, DEWY and have AMAZING COVERAGE!
7)Their minerals last all day even in extreme heat
8) Their minerals are NOT chalky, powdery, orangey, dull, shiny or greasy. They look like your natural skin only better.
9)They are more affordable than most brands.
10)They offer a FREE sample kit so you can try before you buy (you just pay shipping, like $5.99)
This is what I have been using and my clientele loves it, I wouldn't change. I know you will too, just check it out. http://www.faerieorganic.com
Faerie organics ingredients are: Mica, Boron Nitride, Titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide, (iron oxides+ultramarines (what makes it colored) That is it! No crazy chemicals that have links to cancers! Have you used BARE ESCENTUALS AND JANE IRIDALE mineral foundation?

Which is the best mineral foundation?
I wannt try minerals foundation but dont know which brand to get. Which is the best for acne prone and oily skin and Why??Which is the best mineral foundation?
hmm, I've only tried one after doing much research on the net...and I have to say it's really good (I've got oily and acne-prone skin too arghh). The best part is that you can sample the colors first before buying the full-sized stuff--and you only haveta pay for postage! (and the samples last for agesss!) oops! forgot to tell ya the name! ;) it's Everyday Minerals..just go to www.everydayminerals.com and check it out! (plus they're pretty cheap) :) Oh! I've also heard from people that Joppa Minerals (www.joppaminerals.com) is also good...but I haven't tried it personally as yet...check them out! Good luck! :))
PS: just make sure you apply mineral makeup as you should (see the sites i mentioned) and you're good to go!
PS2: DON'T use Bare Ecentuals (or however you spell it)...many people I know with sensitive skin breakout with this! :( but I guess people have different skins...Which is the best mineral foundation?
I would use bare essencial, the best on the market.
Pricey but it lasts a long time and what i love u
can even sleep in it, good luck!!!!!
I think your best bet is to order various samples on Ebay. I've found that Jane Iredale Pressed Powder is best for oily skin. But Bare Essentials has a nice loose powder that looks beautiful, but it's totally messy to deal with. Sooo, before you spend big $$ on any one of them, get some little samples first. Try it out and have fun!
I tried Bare Minerals from QVC. Started to order their kit, but couldn't combine the two colors I thought I needed for foundation so I ordered from Everyday Minerals. I believe the Bismuth in BM probably works well for acne. EM offers 4 different types of foundation which may be worth exploring.
I used bare minerals and liked it. However, it is very expensive. Avon is coming out with their own brand and I'm sure it will work just as well. I've ordered some and it should be coming in this week. I will let you know how it works. It's very inexpensive. I believe it was $9.99 with the brush, but don't quote me on that. It will premier in an upcoming catalog. Oh I just checked. You can order it now, it is $9.99 with the brush and foundation!!!!
I wear Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals. I have oily skin, broken capillaries and dark circles under my eyes. For me, this foundation covers those issues and looks natural. It doesn't clog your pores, you control the coverage and it has a natural SPF15.
If you're near either a Bare Escentuals boutique or Sephora store, stop in and check it out. Both carry a starter kit which runs $60-$75, it has 2 foundation shades, warmth, mineral veil, 3 brushes and an instructional DVD.
Check it out if you don't like it you're not out anything.
I'll have to agree with someone else on this. Bare Minerals is the best I have tried. It's really easy to put on and it only takes about 15 seconds to put on. It covers like regular foundation but without the heavy feel. It doesn't transfer onto clothes, it's water resistant, and, like one of the previous answers, you can sleep in it! It makes your skin look like it's glowing. I paid about 39.99 for my kit, but it lasts forever. Good luckblack hair

I tried Bare Minerals from QVC. Started to order their kit, but couldn't combine the two colors I thought I needed for foundation so I ordered from Everyday Minerals. I believe the Bismuth in BM probably works well for acne. EM offers 4 different types of foundation which may be worth exploring.
I used bare minerals and liked it. However, it is very expensive. Avon is coming out with their own brand and I'm sure it will work just as well. I've ordered some and it should be coming in this week. I will let you know how it works. It's very inexpensive. I believe it was $9.99 with the brush, but don't quote me on that. It will premier in an upcoming catalog. Oh I just checked. You can order it now, it is $9.99 with the brush and foundation!!!!
I wear Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals. I have oily skin, broken capillaries and dark circles under my eyes. For me, this foundation covers those issues and looks natural. It doesn't clog your pores, you control the coverage and it has a natural SPF15.
If you're near either a Bare Escentuals boutique or Sephora store, stop in and check it out. Both carry a starter kit which runs $60-$75, it has 2 foundation shades, warmth, mineral veil, 3 brushes and an instructional DVD.
Check it out if you don't like it you're not out anything.
I'll have to agree with someone else on this. Bare Minerals is the best I have tried. It's really easy to put on and it only takes about 15 seconds to put on. It covers like regular foundation but without the heavy feel. It doesn't transfer onto clothes, it's water resistant, and, like one of the previous answers, you can sleep in it! It makes your skin look like it's glowing. I paid about 39.99 for my kit, but it lasts forever. Good luck
What's a good mineral foundation to try?
I'm thinking about switching to mineral foundation but know nothing about it and why it's so popular. Can someone tell me a bit about it along with a good brand to try. Thanks.What's a good mineral foundation to try?
I use Everyday Minerals for my foundation now and I love it! It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, it's affordable and it gives good coverage. It feels really light on my skin, like I'm not wearing much makeup at all. You can actually get a free sample kit if you want to try it out! The sample kit comes with 3 foundation colors, a blush and a concealer. Go here for instructions on how to get it: http://blog.musthavemakeup.com/?p=256
To use the foundation, first moisturize really well. Then tap a little of the mineral powder into a clean bowl and swirl it with your brush. Finally, using small circles, buff the makeup onto your skin. Keep doing this until you get the look and coverage that you want. That's it!What's a good mineral foundation to try?
L'Oreal's mineral make up is fabulous! I just bought it this weekend, and I've used it every day since! Your skin stays nice and clean feeling, and it doesn't wear off during the day. The coverage is amazing. I bought the concealer, foundation, blush, and bronzer. I also bought an eyeshadow just because it was pretty!
Good luck!
good mineral foundation....i honestly would say BareMinerals. I currently use it and it works great! I overheard on the radio that they are giving away a special offer and it includes a free give-away...the number is 1-800-900-2870...hope thats right! good luck! :)

What do you think of Lancome mineral powder foundation?
I have it and don't know how much to use !What do you think of Lancome mineral powder foundation?
Loreal is Lancome's parent company. They most likely use many of the same ingredients and processes in manufacturing cosmetics. I would have bought Loreal. That's what I think of it.
Anyway watch an application video on this page

tap some into the lid;
put the brush in it;
tap the side getting off access poweder.
work it onto your face,

no my friend USED to use it and said it was HORRIBLE, all of the colours have a yellowish undertone to it that looks horrible in the light. so unless you plan to stay in the dark 24/7, then please dont get it.

I have oily skin around my nose, what could I do to make my mineral foundation last longer?
I'm using Everyday minerals. If there are other great mineral foundations availible at drugstores, please list them =]I have oily skin around my nose, what could I do to make my mineral foundation last longer?
get bio minerals. they're better. google them, if you don't know what they are.
use face wash. it washes out your pores. i don't have much of a problem with acne, but i do use acne wash. because the acid they put in it, cleans out your pores. and prevents break outs. i know what you mean about oily skin around your nose, face wash helps with that too.
foundation works well, if you don't use a whole bunch. I have oily skin around my nose, what could I do to make my mineral foundation last longer?
minerals typically are not the best type of foundation for oily skin. Granted they are better for your skin than harsh chemicals, however, as far as looks go, the minerals tend to gather/streak where the oil is. Try a different approach for light coverage like minerals give.
Mix a dab of mattifying moisturiser with a regular liquid foundation. This will give you light coverage and help with your oil slicks.
you can basically use you minerals on your skin to make them last long without spending so much on expensive ones such as bare essentials. Apply your moisturizer/face lotion first..then the minerals. the lotion/moisturizer will help grab onto the minerals..thus making it hold on longer. hope this helps..
what foundation do you use well i'll tell you its a avon product and it really helps like why don't you use avon foundation its really soft and stays for 20 hours you better try this

I have a very fair complexion and have tried countless brands in the lightest shades but their usually to dark, or they get darker through the day.

P.S. I like being fair, so please don't suggest I use fake tan.Does mineral foundation reallly work?
