I purchased some mineral makeup by bareMinerals recently, and I am amazed how light the powder is on my face!
I have a lot of scarring (superficial, not pitted ones) from my previous acne breakouts, so I caked on the products. I was so amazed that my face still felt like my face!

| I love my mineral makeup!! I have Rosacea with enlarged pores. Bare Minerals covers up the redness and diminishes the size of my pores. Plus, no more breakouts! Love, love, love it!!! |

| Do you use their primer? I bought the bareMineral Get Started set and it comes with a primer. Since I have acne prone skin, I'm a little iffy about using the primer. I've used it a couple of times and it didn't irritate my skin.. but I don't know if I should use it... |

| Yes I do, although not religiously. No breakouts so far... |

| I'm glad to hear that some people are ok with the mineral stuff. I, too, tried bareMinerals last year, and for me, it was a big thumbs down. The cornstarch did not help the breakouts, it didn't help my t-zone...and I can't get into the idea of layering powders over each other. The "concealer" was a big turnoff, I mean...it just caked up...but lightly dusting it did absolutely nothing. The only thing I will say I liked, the eyeshadows. But I have found the new Prescriptives mineral stuff better, a lot better, altho I only use the eyeshadow still LoL I bought (hastily), the Estee Lauder liquid mineral foundation, and it too looked too cakey on my face...the point was to buy a lighter foundation for the summer, and at first it felt ok...but after it dried, it did NOT look good! |

| I use sheer cover and I love it. It's so light on my skin but gives me great coverage. Looks very natural. |

| I'm using Lancome mineral makeup, and I love it! It's very light, natural-looking, and doesn't clog pores. It also has SPF 21, which is awesome. I just wish it was cheaper - I bought it for $46CDN, plus tax. But I definitely recommend it. |

I use bareMinerals and I love it! I can not wear liquids or compressed products. I love the fact that I can customize the colors to match your skin (esp that I live in Canada, so sun glow in the summer and lighter in the winter).
I don't use any primers, as I found the ones I did have, and read up on the others, most have silicone. Which I break out from and my skin starts to look gray by the end of the day. |

| I use Jane Iredale and Purminerals and love them both. You have to be careful not to put the powder on too thick though. Light is the best approach. I don't think I'll ever switch back to liquid makeup. |

| I love Laurier Mercier. The colour matches my skin tone the best. A little goes a long way as well. I have used it for a year, but I still have more than half in the container. |

| I'm so jealous of people who can wear mineral make-up. It does seem like a much more natural solution to foundation. Unfortunately, my acne scars are this dark brown colour that needs a red colour corrector to neutralize it (otherwise the marks look ashy with make-up) and the mineral powder doesn't do much for concealing my corrector. |

| I use Glominerals and I love it. I think it covers extremely well. I use the powder and it covers better than foundation. The only problem I have is that my skin gets oily and the oily goes through the make up so I think I need a primer or something. |
