What kind of brush are you using? I noticed that if I am using my Nars Bronzer brush instead of the Bobbi Brown face brush, my application gets kinda stingy. Unless you are experiencing a chemically type sting? I get that feeling with Mineral Veil so I stopped using it.

I get that once in a while but I think it's my brush more than anything - it's a crappy brush and the bristles like to come out. Otherwise, does it feel chemical?

i use the bare escentuals kabuki and flawless application brush.. its a chemically type of sting and it hurts! maybe i should try and see if its the mineral viel..

I had the exact same thing happen and I am pretty sure it's because I tried the mineral veil "sandwich". I stopped doing that, and now I only use the mineral veil on my T-zone to combat shine. I also apply my foundation with a damp, flocked sponge because the kabuki brush tends to be too harsh on my skin if I use it on a regular basis. So since I've started doing all that, I haven't had a problem. Hope it works out for you, I'd die if I had to quit wearing mine!

If it is the mineral veil that is doing it to you, I would suggest that you try Palladio Rice Powder. It is super cheap at 5.00 and it works amazingly well. It is really light so it doesnt deposit any color onto your face.

If it is the brush, try the Bobbi brown Face Brush. It is about $35.00 and the hairs feel like velvet. I have had one for about a year and it never feels scratchy.

I hope this helps!

I've been using BareMinerals for over a week, and I love it, but I think it may be making me breakout. I have really good skin, but recently I broke out on my chin and cheeks (I never, ever break out here). I thought this stuff was so pure I could sleep in it! Anyway, I might have to stop using BE. What's a good alternative?

Sheer Cover does not have very many shade choices,
I have yet to try either so I am stumped
on what to try

Skeeta · 05-26-2007, 06:43 PM #10 (**permalink**)

I've heard that sheercover is awful. I havent heard one good review about it.

Bare minerals is very good, but there are other mineral brands that have MANY more shades - like everydayminerals - and you can order samples to get your perfect match.

I've never tried Bare Minerals, but I didn't care for Sheer Cover at all. I've heard lots of people switched from BM because it irritates their skin. Like Skeeta said, there are lots of other mineral companies with more shades and from which you can get free samples.

I use Everyday Minerals. (www.everydayminerals.com) I've also heard good things about Meow (www.meowcosmetics.com), but they have SO many shades to look over, it's a bit daunting!

entipy · 05-27-2007, 07:23 AM #12 (**permalink**)

Hi nTrain. I've heard a lot of folks say BM does this to their face. Some folks switched from them to Everyday Minerals. That's what I use. Those who switched seem to really like it. (www.everydayminerals.com)

You could also check out Meow Cosmetics, Lumiere, Signature Minerals, Ocean Mist. There are tons of mineral make-up companies out there. Just Google any of those I listed, and you can find their sites.

Good luck!

Hi!

Your face is stinging because of the bismuth

that BE contains in all their products (duno why …)
Many people are allergic to this ingredient including me. And then there’s the price !! IMO, Lumiere, MEOW, MAD, alima are much better and also a lot cheaper and yes, no Bismuth

My boyfriend bought me Loreal bare minerals for christmas, since I keep babbling about minerals are supposed to be great for sensitive skin... so I used it all last week and weekend... and.... HUGE UGLY NASTY RASH. My face is red... doesn't hurt, well except when I put cream on it after washing... I am so
