There are so many of them out there now! All trying to copy the Bare Escentials line, I suppose. Anyway, has anyone tried any of the drugstore ones - like Covergirl, Neutrogena, etc? If they're decent and it's easier to get, then I want to give one a try.
I can't stand the cakeface feel during the nice weather, and the Bare Minerals line is too much $$ for me right now.

I have (and love) the Loreal Finishing Touch. I don't use foundation of any kind, so this just gives me an 'airbrushed" effect without adding colour.

I use the old liquid foundation and I don't see me ever changing.

Nice!! Powder too, or don't you need it with that?

I swore by Bare Minerals for a couple of years. One day I ran out of it. So I went and bought Loreal Bare Naturale. I could NOT tell the difference. And since its so much cheaper I only use Loreal now.

 

[IzzyLucyWillie]

yeah, what they said. I ran out of bare minerals and bought loreal....I liked it.
(Now I use Laura Geller baked line)

I used the Loreal one.

Are you sure of that name, Theresa? I don't see that on their website. I see Finishing Touch on the hair portion.

It is a mineral powder with the brush attached. I don't like the foundation powder look, plus my skin goes haywire is my pores can't breathe. This just gives a nice finished look. technically, it is marketed to be used after mineral foundation, mineral blush, etc, but I just sweep some on (along with undereye concelaer/hilight). Good to go, not heavy, but still gives that luminous glow. =)

This is what you use T?

Maybe Maybelline?, I'll check. One minute.

It's l'oreal, they changed the name

It's a cheaper version of the BE Mineral Veil. Works just as well too.

I mostly use Laura Geller now, but I like the Physician's Formula and Neutrogena lines too.

Ah ok. I like Loreal products. I think I have some of that powder somewhere around here.

I use this lightly on my face to even out my skin tone

Then I touch it up with a light cover of the Bare Naturale in my T-zone.

I use some of these before I apply the makeup

Seems to be working since someone thought I was in my late 30's the other day.

That's the one I used

 

[Shane23]

I use the Neutrogena mineral products and like them a lot.

I liked Physician's Formula products when I wore makeup. I tried a sample of the BE and it seemed too shiny.

 

[Jinx]

i tried BE. most of it's too heavy. i look like a hooker, lol. i do use some sheer pink blush and the mineral veil from that line, though. i have combination skin so i use a tinted moisturizer from MAC and top it with those two things. all powder isn't a good look on me.

i tried the physician's formula and found it didn't have very good coverage. i'll have to check the loreal next time i buy makeup.

 

[labby]

I thought you sold Avon.

 

[jzgrlduff]

I thought you sold Avon.

Who? Laurie does/did. Hey Laur (or anyone) have you tried the Avon mineral line?

Looks like Loreal is the winner here. I'm going to check it out this weekend.
