Have tried BE, but it made my face shiny (not oily), and that seemed to emphasize the crow's feet around my eyes.
Have tried Lauren Hutton and the same problem happens. Haven't tried Sheer Cover yet.
Will be trying Mary Kay in the near future.
(Comment from Suzanne) Finding the Best Mineral Makeup for you can be challenging! The shine that you don't like is caused by the ingredient Bismuth. A Bismuth Free foundation will have a matte finish (instead of the "glow"). (See Bismuth in Mineral Makeup)
I would recommend a bismuth free foundation. Also one that is more finely milled will result in less accumulation in fine lines and wrinkles and provide fuller and longer lasting coverage. The two that do not contain bismuth and are very fine that I would recommend are Seriesse and Mineral Hygenics.
I have been using Bare Escentuals. I seem to really like the coverage and how long it stays on but it seems to have made my skin drier and peelier. Also, I have had more of my pores filled and have a hard time cleaning them out? what would anyone recommend for this or has anyone had these issues and tried another brand that worked?
Hi Lisa - I really don't think a different brand of loose minerals would solve your problem.
First I would recommend that you use a good moisturizer and let it soak in for a few minutes before you apply your foundation.
If that doesn't help, you might want to try a Makeup Primer to create a barrier between your skin and foundation - this should help you a great deal.
The other option would be to try a liquid Mineral Makeup - Jane Iredale, Illuminare, GloMinerals and Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundations are all reviewed on the site. Suzanne
