    Mineral based foundation

    There seems to be a lot of make-up these days with a mineral component.  I have heard the one that is sold on QVC is suppose to be good.  I think it is Bare Essentials?  I picked up a knock-off of that product made by Maybelline-"mineral power"  I have always used a liquid foundation.  But I've noticed when I put my moisturizer on underneath, the top layer wants to start peeling off!  So I thought that I would try the "dry" approach.  I thought that I had applied my make-up today O.K., until I saw in the natural light while in the car, the dreaded line visible from jaw to neckline.  Guess I better lighten up on the application.  Any comments on which foundation you like the best?

    I've used the Bare Minerals and I like it, so does my teenage daughter.  I used a store brand (can't remember which one) and the coverage was good but compared to Bare Minerals it felt very rough to my skin.

    I use the Revlon brand, and I love it. Much better than liquid foundation!

    If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

    I bought the Bare Minerals and decided I ddin't want to get stuck in the revolving ordering every three months.  So now I buy L'Oreal.  Put moisturizer on and let it set on your face for awhile before applying the powder.  It doesn't take much of the powder, I don't need much either. So far mine has lasted a year. Recently,  I was able to buy one get one at Walgreens, so I'm set.   For me, the L'Oreal stays on better than the Bare  Mineals.  I did try to go back to the liquid one day just to see the difference and my face just felt sticky.  Never again.
