Do you like to wear mineral makeup? For the most part, I do not wear mineral foundation, I prefer a liquid. I don’t find the liquid mineral foundations to be as good in their color range, or any better, than a normal liquid foundation.
I started with Bare Essentials. They don’t have a good color match for my skin, so I pretty much only use their shadows or blush. I also like their all over face radiance in Clear. Their brushes are excellent. You can buy BE at stand-alone stores, in some Nordstroms, online at their website, and also in Sephora.
Recently I decided to try Aromaleigh on the basis of recommendations I’d seen online. Their products are excellent. They are as good, or better, than any I’ve tried with a very wide color range of shadows. They are beautiful on. They also have good sales and discount coupons that you can use with most orders, depending on the size. They have an excellent fact sheet. And they also have a sheet that matches BE colors of foundation to their own. I found a good color match to my skin, and I’m using it on my neck. I still prefer liquid foundation on my face. I also found a lighter color that I’ve mixed in successfully to some other colors of other brands that didn’t match, so perhaps I can use these up on my neck also. They have an excellent sample program. I will write more about the colors I tried in another post.
I’ve tried L’Oreal mineral makeup. They matched my skin better than BE, but not as well as Aromaleigh. Mixing it in with the lighter Aromaleigh, I think I can use it on my neck. I liked the idea of the brush in the top, but I thought it would filter through the brush vs. needing to dip the brush in product. The brush for their Illuminator is similar to the BE brush, but it is connected to the cap. I like some of their blush colors.
Jane has some mineral makeup. I’ve only tried a couple of shadows and blushes. I bought strictly on color.
Mary Kay recently came out with minerals. I think they are excellent. They are pressed, so they are easy to use and take with you, and they have a good color range. Their foundation was a better match for me than BE. I like their blushes and their shadows (I prefer the ones that shimmer.) I really like their highlighter (I use both the matte and the shimmer together.) They have a really nice bronzer, again matte and shimmer. I use the highlighter instead. Either the highlighter or the bronzer can be used on your eyes.
How about you, have you tried minerals and do you like them? As soon as I can, I will write up a review of the Aromaleigh colors that I’ve sampled.
