Mineral makeup?
I Everyone is talking about how mineral makeup is so much better than the liquid foundations and creams etc.
Yes, it does cover belmishes. I use bare minerals. But, i've also heard of sheer cover.

Wow Is All I Can SayI have a sister and several friends that swear by the Bare Minerals make up, and I was dying to try it - I just didn't want to pay that much for something I might not like. When I saw this set on Amazon, I thought, well, that is much less than the name brand one and you get everything you need. So, I went ahead and ordered it. It arrived while my sister was here and we had to check it out. I have to say that I am very impressed with this make up set. Not only does it cover everything well, the set comes with everything you could need to match to your face flawlessly. The concealer worked wonderfully under the eyes and on the few blemishes I have on my skin. You cannot tell that they were ever there! I have very light skin being a natural redhead, and there were two different "Fair" foundations in the set I ordered. While the lighter one was too light and the darker one was a bit dark, I found that I could easily mix them a bit and blend the perfect...
Do not waste your money!
I purchased this product and received it in a timely manner;however, immediately I was disappointed. I received this product this past Thursday and was so excited that I opened and used it right away. I washed my face put on the primer it comes with and began. I have used bareMinerals in the past and others had said this was similar, ooo how they were wrong! The make-up leaves a caked on smeared look. I tried with the brush it came with, which is the worst thing I have ever rubbed across my face, and had to start over. I began again with my brush set I kept from my bareMinerals starter kit and still the same results. It shows every pore, every line, every blemish it is simply terrible. I am 22 with fair skin and usually covering my face is easy, but this product is not quality mineral make-up. This fact is a shame because I was looking forward to cutting my cost in half. I read the bad reviews and ignored them (poor judgement on my part) because there were more than a few people...
Ouch!
Now, I hate giving bad reviews, but I can't not with this one. I got it today and put it on and it looked rather nice. The eyeshadows are really glittery and so is one of the blushes, but that isn't a big deal. The foundations are nice and the concealer is okay...The thing is that as soon as I stepped outside two hours later and sweated even a little my face started burning. I thought nothing of it, but as I continued my friend pointed out my face was turning red and puffy. So now under my eyes, my mouth area, and my cheeks are red and burning, even after washing all the minerals away. It's slowly going away, but it's not a pleasant experience. So...I won't be using this and I'm pretty sure I wasted by money because I opened it.

A MAKEUP ARTIST'S PERSPECTIVE-Good for me, but not for everyoneAs a makeup artist I have been doing makeup for weddings and special events for almost nine years now. A vow to my clients is that I will never put anything on their face that I have not tried myself. Therefore, when clients started asking about bare minerals and whether I would recommend it or not I felt obligated to try it out. When I try "new" products I put them through a volley of tests. The first test I put it through I call the "photograph" test. Some makeups have reflective agents in them that reflect bright likes such as the flash from a camera. While they look normal and well blended in normal lighting conditions they can look comically white in photographs were a flash is used. When doing makeup for weddings it is ESSENTIAL that the makeups I use DO NOT have reflective agents. I took a photograph of my natural skin in normal lighting, then used a flash. I put on the BM foundation, came back and took two more...
Not So Great For Older Faces
I have tried this product and found it wanting. I agree with many of the reviewers that it feels light and silky and certainly looks like you have no makeup on at all. Unfortunately, I can look like I have no makeup on at all by simply wearing no makeup. With my older (early 50's) skin, I find that it really did not help in covering/hiding fine lines, dark(ish) circles under my eyes, or facial discoloration and the luminous quality of the powders actually seems to highlight wrinkles and lines rather than hide them. If I have to use a concealer makeup to aid in hiding these imperfections, I feel I might as well buy another type of makeup. On younger skin, I can well imagine this makeup could be quite lovely but I don't recommend it for the more mature set. In an update to this review, based on some of the responses to my post, I decided (since I still had the makup!) to give it one more try and wear it for a week or so. It could be my skin type, but I still feel the...
I'm finally willing to wear foundation!
I have never worn foundation in my life. I hated being able to feel it on there, & I hated the effort of washing it off every night & how long it took to put on. This has solved all those problems. Applying the foundation takes maybe 30 seconds. I don't feel like I have anything on my face at all. Family was telling me how nice I looked, but when I told them I was wearing foundation they were surpised. It looked so natural. And this stuff won't hurt your skin if you leave in on at night. So no big hassle when you're tired & want to go to bed. The starter kit is the way to go; I was going to try just the foundation & was glad I got the starter kit. It's a really good deal over buying the things seperately as well.

Our starter kit will help you on your way to healthier illuminating skin. You will feel and see the difference Naturale Beauty Mineral Makeup will make for you.Customer Reviews
PerfectVery nice product. It is wasy to use. Comes with decent brushes. I love the colors. The warm edition is good for light olive skin (I'm half Italian and half Chinese). The blush looks dark but it takes a few swipes to create a healthy glow. You can build layers to create the perfect look. This is from the same parent company as ELF cosmetics, so if you like ELF, then you'll love it. Very good starter set.
Choosing the Best Mineral Makeup Brushes | Luv Cosmetics
Many people today are choosing to use mineral makeup instead of harsh chemical-based makeup. This is because of the growing awareness and acceptance of a more natural way of life. Mineral makeup is gentler on the skin and can actually provide it with essential nutrients, unlike chemical makeup which does nothing for your skin. Since mineral makeup is different from conventional makeup, you will need special mineral makeup brushes to apply it.
Unlike just a few years ago, mineral makeup is now widely used around the world and many cosmetic giants of international repute are manufacturing mineral makeup lines. Most companies will sell makeup brushes along with the makeup itself. This is so the customer has all the tools she needs to get the best out of the products she buys....
