Bare Minerals

[ThetaPrincess24]

Eye shadows from bare minerals.............I'm kind of a collector so I'm not sure where to start but here are some that I have bought that I really like:

Get Started Eyes Collection
Camoflage Colors Collection
Fruit Smoothies Collection
Kudos & Magnetize (From the Pure Moxie Collection)
Drama (from Park Place Princess Collection)
Eyeshadow Compact Quad (climbing ivy, camp, citrus twist, & chenille)


I'm thinking about purchasing the new diamonds collection that only sephora is supposed to sell.

I also like the all over radiance colors as eye shadows sometimes in addition to be used as blush.

My sister bought this for me as a gift (I never would have bought it for myself - MAC, Benefit and Philosophy have my heart and money) and I can't figure out how to apply the damn stuff. I tap tap tap the little brush until there's like, nothing left on it, and I still end up with it all over my face. I would like to use it regularly since I love the colors, but apparently I'm applicationally deficient

For some reason, I like to start in the middle of my face (nose, cheeks) then work the minerals outward. I may be doing it wrong, but it seems to work best for me that way. I'm one who always checks her make-up in the natural light before heading out, and I never see that "line of color" along the jaw.

I started with the medium kit and have a full size Light to work with. This foundation really is VERY forgiving and mixes well to get a perfect match. Right now I'm using a mix of Light and Med Beige and it covers well.

I do the same thing since I have some hyperpigmentation issues going on. I think the great thing about this makeup is there are no set rules, but do whatever works for you.

I havent had that problem, but then again i usually end up with my colors lighter on my eyes than what they actually are in the pots.

I would suggest using a different brush if you are having problems with the small brush that comes with that kit. I really like the contour eye brush. I have this brush because it came with another kit, but if you prefer a cheaper brush that may work just as good try the japonesque brand. I have several of their brushes and I like them a lot.
