Thread: Make up?

I have tried quite a few products.. but I have found the best skincare products out there are BeautiControl.. and I love there foundations they are all oilfree it doesn't feel like you are wearing any make-up and at but it gives you an awesome coverage.. There are a few different skincare lines that are also great for acne and oily skin.. I have never been happier!

let me know if you have questions :]

Kudos to all of you who haven't had any probs with the Bare Minerals. Honestly, they have ruined my face. They contain lots of NASTY things in them that aren't so "natural" as the product claims them to be. Mainly talc and bismuth. Both are known to be cancerous and are NOT good for blemish prone skin - in fact they are known to cause blemishes of the cystic variety.

Read labels when purchasing mineral make up or any make up for that matter. I wish I had read mine instead of just assuming something was great for my skin because it said it was. Bare Escentuals isn't ANY better for your skin than any other make up is.

bareMinerals's list on their website says it does not contain talc. Not sure about bismuth.

All I know is talc makes me break out REALLY bad. I am unable to use it even at close to 40 years old.

I would definitely go for a mineral makeup (as many people have said already). I've never worn makeup before and just bought the Bare Minerals kit a month ago and my skin not only has cleared up a great deal, it also has made it softer and my skin tone is more even. Best of all, you don't have to wash it off at night and it only takes about 10 minutes to put on, mascara and all. If you're in a hurry, you can just throw on some foundation and lip gloss and you'll still look 50 times better than if you hadn't put anything on at all. It works especially well if you have oily skin.

QUESTION: What if my makeup concern is less about breakouts and more about the color of my skin?

I stopped using foundation bc PCOS/IR (or maybe the Pill?) darkened some areas of my face and lightened others. i have NO idea what foundation to buy...its either too dark or ashy in other areas . Does anyone have this prob? Should I go for 2 colors? I want a nice even look. Plus, it doesnt help that the area above my upper lip is always dark! I always look like i have a mustache, even right after I wax. grrr. Would love to cover that up.

I just ordered this makeup called bare minerals, I have never tried it but my friend with really really bad acne has used it and loves it, anyone else know anything about this makeup? It is really expensive!!



I actually see that it is helping alot of people I am excited to try!!! NM!!

I really like Bare Essentials!

i use neautrogena n that works pretty good athuogh i weanna try bare minerals
