Readers might recall I did a blog entry about makeup foundation, and how BareMinerals and any mineral powders only work if used in small doses and with liquid foundation. Otherwise it is blotchy, cakey, and will make you break out, unless you use it sparingly, and the best results will always be with a liquid foundation for your skin type.
Gosh, I hate being right all the time, since now the BareMinerals company has broken down and formulated their own liquid foundation. Right, they have called it a skin primer, color corrector, and a foundation, and it comes in various colors to match your skin tone. Yes, the liquid foundation they used to demonize they are now making themselves. Dump the BareMinerals, folks, it is too heavy, it does transfer onto clothing despite their claims, and many powders are much better....a few examples to experiment with; there are a lot of good ones that won't break the bank:
- Ulta brand powder foundation [to set liquid foundation around the nose/eyes]
- Ulta brand finishing powder
- KETT brand setting powder
- Mehron brand powder [great colors that can also be used as eye shadow]
- Clinique loose face powder
Plain powder will never work on anyone's face unless you have perfect, perfect skin, and just want to erase a bit of shine. For the rest of the entire population, that is, anyone over 18, you need extra help with your skin. A lot of good tinted moisturizers are out there if you do not need to cover up and hide any imperfections, but everyone needs a good sunscreen, and a bit of color never hurts anyone. Then add your eye makeup and color on your lips, and you are set for everyday affairs [your nighttime affairs are another story].
