Go Bare!

No, no, no! I don't mean actually go bare. I mean go Bare Escentuals. I'm sure you've seen the infomercials on television highlighting the wonders of this mineral powder make-up. I'm here to tell you how wonderful the products are. I started on Bare Escentuals mineral products a few years ago, after watching a demonstration on QVC (www.qvc.com). After seeing several airings of the demonstration, I finally ordered with first kit, with the knowledge that I could return it within 30 days and receive my money back, no questions asked. I was hooked immediately and have been since. So what makes this make-up so unique? Essentially, the mineral powders, which can be applied as a foundation, eye shadow or cheek color, are compromised of Titanium Dioxide (a protectant against the sun for both UVA and UVB harmful rays), Zinc Oxide (also a protectant against the sun and also a good cover for scars, acne, discoloration, etc.) and Mica (which gives the powder it's silky sheen and flawless cover). The owner of the company claims you can sleep in this make-up, but it is ill-advised to sleep in any make-up. Some women (a small percentage actually) have complained the the make-up did make their skin break out, but this cases are few and far between. The idea of this make-up is that it doesn't take a lot to give you the right amount of coverage (in fact a little goes a long way) and the coverage is sheer, yet very effective. The fact that so little can be used to create a look, makes it a very good buy overall and eyeshadows, cheek color and foundation can last months and months before you actually use it all up. One important factor is application is to use the brushes from the line to apply the mineral powder. These brushes are designed to make the application easy, but it may take some practice for you to get the look you desire.
