Mineral Makeup

I have tried this Vicki. It is really quite nice to wear, very light and it does cover well. It doesnt hide wrinkles though.:( I was really hoping it would!

It does hide red well.

But all in all, it is nice and seems to be kind to the skin. No breakouts or anything, and my skin is pretty sensitive.

Yes I've tried it & it covered up the scars I have on my lower face & neck. I was burned with hot metal things with points on them so I have 'spots' all over my lower face & neck, & it worked wonderful, it's just expensive...Lori

I WANT to try it because I have read confirmed reports that it is healthier for women's skin. However, I have looked at the many different companies that sell mineral makeup, and I simply cannot afford them. From everything I've heard from real people, it does work. I would like to hide the circles under my eyes. I've yet to be able to accomplish that with anything else.

I use the stuff from Avon and I am very happy with it. I do not have scars or anything, but do know it covers other blemishes well. It is decently priced if you get it on sale (and I think it is on sale right now.) It took me a try or two to figure out to put it on in light layers. I do maybe three now but the first time put it on too thick and had blotches...lol. Anyway, I sell Avon and can give you a link to my site via pm by request only...but you can also just shop directly through the company at avon.com or find a local rep in your area (through the company site.) I haven't tried any of the other brands.

I use Physician Formula Mineral Wear talc free makeup. My main reason for useing it is that I want to avoid talc, and so I may switch to Physician Formula's new soy-based makeup, but regardelss, I find the mineral wear works well. The only thing is that if you are going to use concealer and stuff as well as powder, give the moist makeup tiem to set and dry before you put the powder on because it tends to stick to moisture and will go on too thick if you makeup is still damp when you put it on. That said though, it does have better covereage than regular talc powder.

I just bought some of the Revlon Mineral Wear and I like it. I am still trying to adjust to the little brush thing but it hinds things that other foundations haven't. It was like $14 for a little jar which hubby gasped at but I hope and think it will last a long time. I have to admit it makes my skin feel a little soft and it hasn't made me break out yet. I have to give it a thumbs up.

Yes I've tried it and I liked it. It looks good and feels really light plus it lasts well. My skin tends to be dry so I was a bit worried that it would be too drying for me but it wasn't at all. I think it was Sheer Cover that I bought - I got it from the Shopping Channel anyway. I liked the coverage it gave, I'm 46 so obviously lines are a bit of an issue for me. I wouldn't say it covered them completely but they definitely looked less noticeable and its very good for dark circles under the eyes.

I didn't think it was too expensive because I do tend to spend quite a lot on foundation anyway and it does last well. The downside for me was that I found it a bit fiddly - all the mixing to get the right shade and then building up the layers and whatever. It just seemed easier to buy a bottle and slap it straight on lol! But I would use it again - it's worth trying.

I always see the infomercial for the Bare Essentials mineral makeup. I always wondered about it. I can't imagine a loose powder makeup covering very well, but peopel seem to say that it works. Now I see there are several drugstore brands like Revlon, so it's cheaper and I've been tempted to try it. If you try mineral makeup, let us know how it works for you.

You guys are lucky...I have acne scars but being a darker skintone I scar even DARKER (hate it) and as much as I DO love mineral makeup..it doesnt cover up like I'd like (mind you they are fading..slowly but surely)

I tried Loreal Bare Naturale Mineral make up. I don't have scars, but this is the best covering and feeling foundation that I have ever tried. It is soft and light feeling. It also covers my very rosey cheeks and regular breakouts (without causing more). If feels natural and is very comfortable. I love it. For what is supposed to be a one months supply it was $13. But I have had it for a few months now.
