Good mineral makeup besides bare minerals?

i tried bare minerals i got the starter kit and the matte foundation and oil control primer and it worked like c r a p didnt look natural after like 30 minutes by face got super greasy becuase it didnt conrol oil at all and it didnt conceal ANY of my acne at all and the primer absolutely sucked because you couldnt put makeup on over it without it toally caking up so dont recomend bare minerals......ive been looking at other ones like nude by nature and stuff but all of it seems the same also dont recomend the mayballine ones they sucked even worse.....i have oil blemish prone skin and even though i take super good care of it its still really bad and i read how you can be doing all the right things but wearing the wrong makeup can just mess everything up so anyone know about mineral makeup thats good for your skin?

Tarte's powder foundation is the best I have found.....by a wide margin. It's fantastic.

Pur Minerals

Skinn

To add to those listed above. Have tried both. Like them better than Bare Minerals.

Re: Good mineral makeup besides bare minerals?

I have 2 indy mineral companies I'm constanting mentioning and recommending them on this forum for foundation, blush and shadows:

Cory Cosmetics and Meow Cosmetics.

Cory has been in business for 10 to 12 years and for Meow it's been 7 or 8 years. Both excellent. Today I am wearing a combination of Cory Mica Blend Foundation and Meow Blush on my face. My eyes, including brows, are also all done with both Cory and Meow products.

Sample baggies are sold for .49cents and $1.00 respectively.

p.s. Meant to add, Meow Cosmetics also has a pretty large following on facebook, as well as a forum on delphi forums.

Hope this helps.
