There are better mineral make ups,
I love mineral make up. It is wonderful because it looks great and does not feel like you’re wearing make up. This is my second bare minerals starter kit. I bought the second starter kit because I really like the bare minerals brushes and it is cheaper to buy the kit than the brushes individually. Bare minerals has changed what you receive in the start kit since I first purchased it. I think the old one was better.
The first starter kit I purchased had:
– Two shades of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation (.06 oz/2g) in Light and fairly light
– bareMinerals Mineral Veil(.06 oz/2g)
– bareMinerals Warmth All-Over Face Color (.02 oz/.57g)
– bareMinerals Glee All-Over Face Color (.02 oz/.57g)
– Handi Buki Brush
– Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
– Flawless Application Face Brush
– How-to DVD.
The new kit has:
– TWO shades of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation: Light & Golden Medium (Size: Medium)
– Mineral Veil (Size: Medium)
– Warmth All-Over Face Color (Size: Medium)
– Full Flawless Face Brush
– Flawless Application Face Brush
– Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush
– Prime Time
– How-to DVD.
The really differences between the two products: the old kit had a Handi Buki Brush when the new kit has Full Flawless Face Brush. I think the Handi buki brush is the better of the two brushes but both do a good job of applying the make up. The second major differences the old kit had small Warmth All-Over Face Color and Glee All-Over Face Color the new kit has a Medium Warmth All-Over Face Color. Again I think the older kit was better. Warmth is a bronzer that gives your skin a natural sun kissed glow. Glee is also a great product, it is a plum shade blush. It gives your skin a touch of natural color as if you have been exercising. Both of these products are great but you need to be careful not to use too much.
Personally without Glee my face ends up looking pale, my face really needs a little bit of color beyond the foundation, warmth and mineral veil. Glee is my absolute favorite bare minerals product. Mineral veil is a great product that is a great finishing product. It gives your face an airbrushed look.
What I do not like about bare minerals is how it sits on top of your pores and makes them look bigger. Unlike the commercials claim you do not look like you are not wearing make up in fact your look like you are wearing tons. It is a natural look but still a make up look.
Frankly, there are better mineral foundations than bare minerals my favorite is E.L.F. (eyes lips & face). It has a great mineral foundation which is better than the bare minerals foundations and a fraction of the price. I like it better because it does not make your pores look bigger. E.L.F. also makes a product called mineral booster which is like mineral veil.
My overall opinion is to buy the starter kit once to get the brushes because mineral make up needs special brushes. Use what come with it and switch to a different foundation and continue using Glee and Warmth.
Mineral make up last longer if you apply a moisturizing before the make up. One trick I have learn to minimizing the appearance of pores under mineral make up is to use a acne moisturizing and let it dry before applying the make up.

|Very interesting make-up,
first off the shipping was super FAST! on this was more like days not weeks. A very big plus for me as I sell on line daily so shipping to me is important. So 5 stars on the shipping!
I have not worn make-up with any regularity for about 30 yrs. I tried it here and there and did not like the feeling or the look. I tried high end department store products to low end make-up from drug store. Nothing seemed right.
I really tried this product on a whim. I had seen one of my customers one day who really looked nice and I told her. She said she went to a job interview,… and said she wore Bare Escentuals and loved it. She had ordered off of tv shopping show and was very happy with it.
I thought why not, so I ordered it. It did take me a few days to get the hang of working the powder and the brushes. It does cover up the ruddy-red that comes with age. I am suprised that as the day wears on, my face feels the same as if I had no make up on.
That is what I like, I do not look made up. It doesnt come off on the phone like other make-up tends to do. I still dont wear eye make up but I do use some of the Bare Esc. eye powder that is a dark grey under my eyebrows, just to open up my eyes some, as I wear glasses, too.
I am happy with the color choices and will know more when summer comes. I do tan easily so it will be interesting to see summer results.
Why make-up now after going for almost 30 yrs without?
To blend or cover the reddness and to even out color without it being heavy or made up. I even keep my fingers off of my face with this on.
I thought of sharing this with my daughter because I was so sure it wasnt going to work for me. But I kept it hidden from her and I will think of ordering her, her own set.
So all in all, it seems to work for me. Like I said it took a few days to get the hang of mastering the powder and brushes. I have had it for about two weeks and I am not one who spends time in front of a mirror, so far I feel like I can get this product on without taking too much time.
I just know that this is one make-up you cant put on in the car and drive at the same time, you need both hands, lol.
