I use Philosophy The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas. L.O.V.E. I.T. Gives me great coverage and matches perfectly with my skin. :love:

I use Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup...best I've used so far, it's sweatproof and gives great coverage. I even stopped wearing my MAC...it's that good.
I forgot who on this forum reccomended this brand, but THANKS! :grin:

I purchased Bare Escentuals last month because I had to have a foundation for a special event and I was out of my prescriptives. I wanted to try a paraben free one anyway. I went to sephora and had one of the reps apply it. It looked ok in the store, I looked polished, but you couldnt really tell I had on make up. When i tried it the next day I thought it was ok, tho at some angles, to me, it looks some what "greyish" but everyone else said it looked good, and I kept getting compliments all day. I played around with it again last night as I was watching the QVC 2 hour Bare Escentuals show. I think I'm going to keep it. I do like that it hasnt caused me any kind of irritation at all. The only thing is, while the foundation doesnt have preservatives, the mineral veil has parabens, and so does the face lotion that comes in the starter kit.

I picked up Bare Naturale (Loreal) in Target last week. I think it's perfect for summer. It gives good coverage but I still feel like my face can breathe.

Well I tried Bare Escentuals from Sephora and it makes my complexion look ashy..lol.

I don't know it seem like a good product, just doesn't fit my brown well.

I just saw the add for Loreal's mineral makeup in a magazine today...

I'm a HUGE Bare Escentuals user. I use "warm tan". I recently picked up "Honey Bisque" which I use as a highlighter under my eyes. The rep on the phone the other week when I had to correct an order made it sound like it was one of their "newer" tones.

Neutrogena has entered the minerals foundation market with "minerals sheers" and I almost want to try it! I want something that makes my face look like its glowing.

But I have a question that I'm almost afraid to ask: how expensive are these minerals foundations? For some of them it seems like you have to buy sets of foundations or other products to set the foundation and that seems like it can really add up.
