This review is from: Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (Misc.)

I have been using this makeup line for years, and at first I didn't like it. I then found out that I wasn't doing it right to get the coverage I needed. It's important to get enough makeup in the brush. At any rate, I now love it and can't imagine using anything else. This makeup has really improved my skin over time, I have terribly oily skin and liquid foundations just turned to mud by the end of the day. Now, if I go without makeup for a few days I break out, instead of makeup breaking me out like it used to. I can't say enough about this stuff, it's great. If you use it and find you don't like it, you may want to visit with someone else who uses it or the counter because it's possible you aren't getting it quite right. That was the case with me.

I started using Bare Escentuals because my Mother started buying it from QVC. Now their popularity is gaining and you can find it more locally than before. I got the tinted mineral veil through a kit and really liked it. The regular mineral veil is great too but what I like about the tinted veil is that it gives you a hint of healthy color that not everyone has on their own. If you pick a lighter shade of because you have a fair complexion don't worry that it will make you too dark - like a bronzer may. This gives you a sun kissed look.

2.0 out of 5 stars Acne prone skin- This is not good for u, December 12, 2006

This review is from: Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (Misc.)

If you have acne prone skin, this is not the finishing product for you because it is 90% corn starch, and this is a huge NO NO for acne. Corn starch breeds bacteria, which causes inflamation-Acne. It's odd that BM would use corn starch, and bill themselves as "good for skin". Sheer miracle makes a great finishing powder that is matte, and consists of the mineral serecite, which is less aggravating to skin. Sheer Miracle also makes this amazing blush (in apricot)that reminds me of Mallys' blush, but is much better for your skin. The SM apricot blush alos does not contain bismuth oxide, which tends to settle in creases, and makes skin look older. SM's foundation lacks coverage of BM.

Another mineral based makeup line is Everyday minerals. This does come in several choices like semi-matte, matte etc. and does not contain bismuth oxide, but also lacks the coverage of BM. Also their finishing powder isnt that great, but the soft bronzer is a nice highlighter to shallow out those chubby cheeks.
Both SM and Everyday offer sample kits for free on their website. this is a great way to try different shades.
BM also DOES have talc in it, although it is labeled as Mica- this can be a problem for acne prone skin as well, or anyone allergic to talc/mica.
