I think I remember some moms here use this line of cosmetics. I want to buy maybe the foundation. Any recommendations of the product and how do I choose the correct color for my skin?

Eve loves this product. If she doesn't happen to see the post today, be sure to bump it up for her during the week.

I think Eve and Karen use it.

Love the stuff! What is your skin tone? You've seen pics of me, so I will tell you that I use the medium beige 2.3, the Horizon or Tulip blush, the Warm Radiance, and the mineral veil. I have some of eye eye shadows too, but you really have to get the hang of using a brush instead of one of those sponge applicators with it.

I have started using Philosophy skin care products, and with the Bare Escentuals makeup, my skin has never looked better.

If you go on ebay and look for a store called Smokey Mountain Minerals you will get the same type of make up for a lot less money. I use their stuff and I love it.

Do you feel like you really get good coverage???

By Karen~moderator on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 12:30 pm:

I get great coverage and it's not heavy, greasy of cakey like many liquid base makeups.

I do like it! If you want more coverage to cover up red patches or spots, then get the bisque as well. They have a nice starter set from QVC that has the foundation, the warmth and the mineral veil. Also, there are a few sites that have videos that show you how to put it on with tips. My sister uses it as well and likes it. HTH!

I have used it for two years and absolutely love it! I use the mineral veil the bare minerals and the warmth. I had to mix two colors for my skin tone. They sell it at Sephora and they will help find your color. I bought my first set from QVC, also.

Eve, I bought some of the Bisque for those *less-than-perfect skin days* and the Well Rested, to use under or over your eyes.

The only other thing I have for my skin that is NOT B.E. is something I just bought by Philosophy.
