Bare Minerals

[Marlene4a]

I recently bought this "Bare Minerals", 4-tere, make-up, via the TV advertisement, ( a bit pricey, I must say) and been experimenting with it the last couple of days.

I don't know if I have been using the applicator correctly, or the make-up coloring wrong.

However, I do know, that this make-up is very unforgiving. What I mean, is that if the shadowing is incorrect, and then an attempt to correct it, means almost a "re-do"

The photo below is the application of the "Bare Minerals" Make-up.

The photo after that is the "Jippo" $7.00 bottle of foundation, and the powder make-up that runs 8-$10.00 for the dry.

The Bare Minerals was about $70.00.

To be honest, I cannot tell a difference.

What thoughts say ye.

Me.

Without the "Bare Minerals" Make-up, and using the "Store bought" stuff.

I am not saying the Bare Minerals is bad stuff, it goes on fairly smooth, but there is a technique to it. I may buy more, I don't know, just need to get used to the correct application I guess. It (Bare Minerals) seems to have more versatility.

sorry sweetie, I can't choose between the two, so, I would select whichever you prefer. (U look great either way, and nice cleavage in the second pic!) wenda

Thank you Wenda

Trying various make up concoctions is wrather interesting.

My conclusions is that I am not too crazy about Bare Minerals for the price.

I find the regular make-up that you find in the drug store just as good.

Hi Kew:

Thanks for that info.

Yes the Bare Minerals is definetely good stuff. I am learning a bit how to apply it with a little more skill. Discovered that you don't need a lot of powder on the brushes.
It helped to watch the video a couple of times.

Thanks again Kew.
