| | | I use BareMinerals, and it's fantastic- it makes my skin look something fairly close to flawless, but it still looks and feels really natural. You do have to moisturise/exfoliate a lot, though, to stop it from looking blotchy. |

Mind you, I don't just use the foundation on its own- i've got this Physicians Formula green color-correcting concealer that works wonders on redness and my acne scars. |

| | | i love it, great coverage, but it feels light. i actually get complimented on my skin now (and i've always had lousy skin.) the (bareminerals) eyeshadow & blush are fantastic too. |

(and the company talks about how it's even safe to sleep in).... http://www.bareescentuals.com/ (they also have some stuff on amazon.com, try the uk version too).
I'm going to this place just so I can get the make over and learn how to apply everything: http://www.monave.com/index.php
hope that helps.

| | | It's quite nice. I have a sample of Bare Escentuals, it evens up my skintone really well, but i don't like it enough to buy a full pot. You have to be careful not to put too much on and blend lots. |

| | | Okay, been wearing it for two days and it feels really good, like nothing's there. Also it doesn't make my face super shiney after it's been on a while unlike regular make up. I was told that I don't need foundation however so I'm not sure if it's different with that. But I got a lot of really great shades for my eyes that can also be used as a gloss on my lips (and as a nail polish too, insane!) Love it!

| | | is BareMinerals available outside of the U.S does anyone know? I've just never seen it here in ireland - perhaps getting it online is the way to go. Really would like to try it out though because i'm convinced my current foundation is crap for my skin..
