Has anyone tried Mineral Make Up?

[terkopp5]

Hi all! I'm new and this is my 1st post, so bear with me. Just wondering, has anyone tried mineral makeup? What brand and how do you like it?

Welcome to Mut. I have tried Bare Minerals, Aromaleigh, Jane Iredale, and a few more I can't remember the names... I like mineral mu and the best way is to get samples. I also read here a few days ago that Alpha Skincare Mineral mu is great too. Good luck.

I have & use BE in the evenings when i'm just chilling out with friends and not doing anything special and i like it a lot (when applied correctly!). I use Estee Lauder Double Wear to work because it lasts longer on my combi skin & offers more coverage. There are lots of mineral make up users on here so hopefully the girls will be able to help you out

PS. I edited the title of your thread to mention Mineral Make Up. You should get more responses that way!

I use Bare Escentuals. It's powder based, good for oily skin. I think there are some liquids out there but I haven't tried them.

I have tried BE and Aromaleigh, and I like Aromaleigh best. You should check mineral makeup out - most places offer samples, which is the best way to try it!!

No oils in mineral makeup...it's supposed to be all natural, mainly mineral ingredients...Most come in powder form, a couple of the brands have a liquid form. I love mineral makeup, you can use it so many different ways...apply it dry with a kabuki or similar brush or with a sponge, or you can make it a cream or liquid by adding water or moisturizer. I went through a mineral makeup craze a while ago and I tried every brand I could find...I hated BE...the only ones I liked were Aromaleigh(their colors aren't the greatest for more golden or yellow skintones though) Jane Iredale(their liquid and loose powder forms are better than the compacts and they have a great color selection) and my favorite right now is Alpha Skincare(great color selection, incredible coverage and the stuff stays on until you wash it off-very long lasting!)

Welcome to MUT!!! I have only tried Bare Escentuals and I broke out within an hour with a major rash. It also looked shiny on me.
