Nov 29, 2007 Response to Marie, Scottsdale by: Melody Hi Marie, You may want to check into natural alternatives for your skin car products you are using. Mineral foundations should blend into the skin and should not wipe off easily with a swipe of your fingers. This tells me that your moisturizer which is stated to be light, may be putting a layer of film on your skin. You may want to check the ingredients of your skincare. There is a book out by Dr. Samuel Epstein called the Safe Shoppers Guide that talk about ingredients to look out for in your personal care products that could be harmful and can keep your mineral foundation from doing the job it was created to do. You can also find his book and other material on www.preventcancer.com Hope this was helpful for you.

Oct 09, 2007 Bare Minerals Application Tips by: Suzanne Hi Marie - The most common mistake people make with mineral makeup is using too much product - way too much sometimes. I think it takes about a week or two of daily use to get the amount and application down pat. For your dark places, you can cover it before your foundation with foundation or bisque. You can also get a heavier coverage by applying the foundation wet by LIGHTLY misting your brush with water after you have "swirled and tapped". Also make sure you are buffing - really, really buffing. It is the buffing that warms the minerals up to your skin temperature and melts them onto your face. Are you using Mineral Veil after your foundation? It should keep your minerals in place all day, or you can reapply it throughout the day as needed. I have very sensitive eyes and have never had a problem with minerals - again, I suspect you may be using too much. Hopefully other visitors will jump in with their comments and suggestions! Good Luck!
