Wow, glad to find this thread. I've been wanting to try Bare Minerals, but don't know much about it except what I've seen in an infomercial some time ago.

How do you determine what color you need? I am very fair, but not porcelin. If I use anything with a yellow hint to it, it looks awful, gets that orange look.

Also, how does it work if you have not really big pores, but big enough to be noticable?

i have pores on my nose and it covers very well esp. the mineral veil-seems like it takes 10 years off your face-wish i could do that to the rest of me-haha!!! it's really not that expensive under 50$ for the faceconcealer powder(base) and the mineral veil...it lasts a really long time though i just bought some more face-base and i have been using it for over a year-just one jar...so when you sit down and think about how much $$ you spend on liquid base, concealer, and powder per year you really are saving money in the long run if you do the bare minerals...you can go to bareminerals. com but i just get it at sephora online cuz sometimes it's even cheaper there. good luck and hope you like it!!!

I buy it at Ulta (local store.. no S&H) and the foundation is $25. It lasts FOREVER, though! I don't use the Mineral Veil... just the foundation, highlighter and eye shadows. I'm a real glitter whore, and they have some really shiny stuff. I think the eyeshadows are $12, and again, they last forever!

Okay, my bare minerals arrived and I decided this afternoon to try it out. I really liked the way it went on, so I got all fixed up and went and as my husband what he thought. He wasn't sure, but thought that it made me look older, more wrinkles. He wanted me to go put on my regular makeup and let him see, so I did, and he said my regular foundation looks much better.

I really liked the idea of the Bare Minerals, and the way it went on. Maybe I need some with more coverage, but don't want to spend another $25 trying it out.

I've also ordered the sample kit for the Everyday Minerals, perhaps that will work better.

Will see....
