Can someone tell me about bare minerals?

Here's the deal. I'm walking out of Macys and a makeup SA was scurring to finsh some stuff before closing. Her face looked like a china doll. Absolutely amazing and perfect. As I turned around I said, "You look amazing!" "You too hun" she replied. I proceeded to tell her that her skin looks impecable. She said, "It's bare minerals, and it all washes off at night" She took a sharp turn and was gone.

What is bare minerals?

Who makes it?

Do you need perfect pore free skin?

 
Bare Minerals is a brand of mineral makeup. Mineral makeup is a type of cosmetic that is made from crushed rocks eg. Mica, Titanium dioxide, zinc, etc. It typically is free of synthetics, oils, and chemicals and due to that and the properties of the crushed minerals listed previously is more gentle on the skin and in many cases even healing to the skin. It has other advantages in that it isn't absorbed by the skin but sits on the skin and has natural sunscreen properties built into it.

Bare Escentuals or Bare Minerals is the most popular line probably followed by Sheer cover. There are at least 100 other lesser known companies around that are at least as excellent in quality as these two more commonly known and widely advertised companies.

Mineral makeup does have the reputation of adhering quite well to the skin. Many find this a plus as it's sweat proof and somewhat water proof. It is easily removed with oil or soap, water, and a wash cloth.
