They make it for oily skin, now. The best thing to do is buy a starter kit, that way you get a video and the brushes, which are expensive. I have LOTS of family/friends that use Bare Minerals, and they all love it! I don't use their eye makeup because I don't think it's that much better than the less expensive kind.

You can also go to Ulta or Sephora and the makeup artists will make you up and show you how to use everything. My 89 year old mom uses Bare Minerals, as well as my 35 year old daughter and 15 year old granddaughter. It works for almost everyone. I learned to use it by watching Leslie Blodgett on QVC - when QVC has a Bare Mineral show, Leslie is usually always there and she makes up the QVC models and shows you exactly what to do.

So I take it there is a technique to using it? I'll have to check some sites and see what I come up with...maybe there is a demo on youtube.

It's really easy Janet! It's just that it's loose powder, and you just need a tiny bit of it. When you first put it on, it really doesn't look like it's enough. But in a couple of minutes, it's like "wow, THERE'S my makeup"!!!

Just checked online and it is sold at Macy's and we just happen to have one in Lafayette. Mary Kay also sells the mineral, just wonder what the difference is because MK was cheaper.

I to use Bare Minerals and I buy it at Ulta too. Ulta carries their own brand of bare mineals too. I have tried Avon products and Mary Kay and I also agree with Judy I buy inexpensive cosmetics , lipstick and eyeshadows to. I read that they are just as good as the expensive ones. I tried them all. I love the eyeshadows from Urban Decay they have a nice selection of eye shadow palette.

After using the powder, eye shadow and lipstick, I really don't think I'll be buying anymore. Like you said, it's really not any better than what I was using.

I don't use Mary Kay. It makes my eyes burn. I sell Avon and it seems to work well for me.
