Rediscovered my Bare Minerals

QVCkitty1 — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 21:16:22 GMT

This heat has made wearing make-up difficult, because I glow like crazy. I got my powder foundation out, and rediscovered how well it wears in this oppressive heat. I honestly don't know why I stopped wearing it, as it always worked well for me.

I rediscovered my Bare Minerals too. I use Complexion Rescue then I touch up with the powder. Still best ever. I used too many brand. Over the years. It was the Worst Ever, I broke out and it was too heavy. Went back to old reliable mineral makeup

Funny you should mention this...I rarely wear foundation in the hot, humid summer. But, this past Sunday I wanted to spot cover an area - I didn't get my brush out, I just dipped my finger in the minerals and applied the minerals. I was actually very pleased with how it applied and how it looked just using my fingers for application. (I ended up covering more area than I first intended).

Me too. Well not that I went back to it but gave it a try a couple of months ago based on someone's recommendation. She told me to get the medium beige in the original formula but my Ulta was out of that shade so just got the original Medium 10. Now if switch back to my IT occasionally, like if I'm not going anywhere but in case someone comes to the door and I want to look human, the IT makes me think I look a bit yellowish. I use one of my IT brushes. I ordered one from the Bare Minerals website that was made specifically for the foundation and it wasn't cheap, in the neighborhood of $30 if I remember correctly but I didn't care for that one.

I have been wearing Bare Minerals Bare Pro for as long as it has been out and I really love it! I just turned 69 in June, and the other day out of the blue, my DH said, "your face looks so nice"! He made my day!

@QVCkitty1 Sometimes there are head banging moments like that. I love BE powder foundation & when really lazy, just swirl tap and go. It’s a great spot concealer w/ a tiny brush. I purchased the supersize the last time it was offered, but disappointed that it was not the locking type jar.

I don’t wear foundation. I am very oily and the ridiculously humid WI summer just makes things 100 times worse. But my HG concealer for anything that pops up that I need to cover is Bare Minerals Summer Bisque. Lasts on my oily skin and through the humidity. Love it. My oily face and humidity eats up anything else I’ve ever tried. I always stock up when the supersize is offered here.

@Hooty I discovered this foundation about a month ago. Love it! Light weight, looks good, and lasts! It's a winner.

I recently re-discovered Bare Minerals and although the look was okay from a distance, a close-up was horrid. The powder settled in every fine line on my face.

I washed it off and threw every Bare Mineral product I have in the trash...never again for me.

Same here. Don’t need liquid full coverage anymore. Am doing Complexion Rescue in natural (sometimes just this alone) with BM over it on occasion. I discovered the new colors that are available. Neutral medium is my new perfect shade, at least for this time of year. No heavy feel; in fact, I look great and don’t even feel I have anything on my face.

I'm one of those who has stuck with Bare Minerals since I first saw them on the Q. Lucky me I have a store near me to shop at. I still use the original because it's a perfect color match and lasts forever. I had put my makeup on at 5:30 am and later that day my DH had a heart attack. He survived, but it was a really rough night. When the next morning came and I had been with him the whole time, his nurse looked at me and asked what skincare I used. She thought I looked great. I told her what I used and that I used Bare Minerals. She told me she was going to pick some up on her way home. If it can last through that night, it can handle anything.

I have often wondered if Bare Minerals would be something that I could use. I love mineral makeup and to use a powder is so much easier and feels so much better on my skin. However, would it accentuate fine lines? I am 66 and am not looking to highlight my not so great stuff!

I know there are quite a few formulas and products in their line now. If you think I could wear it, which one(s) do you think would work for me? Thanks!

I'm 64 and it doesn't show my lines and wrinkles. I also don't use very much of it. I was told early on less is more. A regular size container lasts me almost a year.
