RE: Bare Essentuals Cosmetics

[Guest guest]

Louise, yes, I've tried Bare Essentuals makeup. They used to have a location a few minutes' walk from my house! It's best to try before you buy. It worked fine on me, was awful on a friend.

The pluses: a light dusting of powder covers a lot of skin unevenness. A little container lasts a long time. I found it quick and easy to put on for just running out to the grocery store.

The negatives: It doesn't work well with every skin type. I suspect that it would look "too much" if you covered your face completely with it, as you might be more likely to do with a liquid foundation.

Remember, you don't need to buy all the Bare Essentuals products at once, or ever! A few years ago, a friend gave me various products when she quit using the line. I liked the concealing powder; other products were okay, but I never got around to using them. Back then, the blusher colors lacked subtlety, but they may have better ones now.

Sephora carries the line; can you get to any of their locations?

As I recall, they make a light "veil" powder and a "concealing" powder. They are quite different; try both to see which works better for you.

Warning. Some of their lipstick have

barley, and some of their mascaras are not safe.

I use the powder when I wear make up, but

just make sure you read all the ingredients on the lipstick & mascara before

you buy.
