Oh -- and one more thing (we really do need a separate thread!), if you've never "foiled" - -TRY IT!

My favorite is to use the wet/dry brush w/ tan lines. It's a great summer look -- bronzey and light with sparkle! Once it dries on my lid, I use butterfly or tan lines up to my brown line to blend it. But I don't blend the foiled part on my eyelid -- I just let that shine!

i've asked the moderators to make us our own thread and to move the bare escentuals/bare minerals posts to that thread.

so teach are you saying you wet shadow to do this "foiling"?? what product are you using? i have a couple of shadows and one glimmer. maybe we need to write down what we own, so we can all compare?

Woo HOo! I sent an email to the Bare Minerals folks asking if they had any plans to open a store here in the Portland, OR area. Turns out that a local Nordstrom's has recently begun selling their stuff! Now I just need to find time to make myself go to that mall (I hate that mall 'cause it's always so busy) so I can try the new stuff in person. :-)

we have a store about 45 minutes away. and the last time i spent wayyyyyyy too much money, but i had only had the original kit, and we got holly all started. now we are only building on that.

we have a couple more of shadows and glimmers to buy, but we're really set for the rest of our faces. the beauty of the product is since we're not putting the brushes into the product and back and forth onto our faces, we don't have the problems with contamination. brushes are washed daily, and we use our own brushes. annie, just think you're building for your daughter, when it is time for her!

One thing about the make-up that I love...I need to nap on most days and it doesn't come off on the pillow! Everything they say about this is true! I'm usually napping for an hour and my old stuff would always be left behind.

Butting in here, but I've got a few questions...

My skin is pretty oily and with my regular makeup my skin looks super shiny all day. I hate to use too much pressed powder because after a wile it starts to look cakey. Will the BE help with the shine?

Also, I had read a few comments on a wedding board I frequent about how it doesn't photograph well, that it shows a lot of imperfections. Can anyone comment on that? I'm getting married in about six months so I'm looking for a makeup that cuts the shine and of course, photographs well. Any input is appreciated!

hmmmmm, when i was searching for tips on how to best use this, I came across some wedding board and lots of brides were talking about using it.

I can get greasy and this hasn't happened. Maybe someone else can comment who has oily skin, I am more combo.

Do you have a Sephora store near you? If so, why not go in and get a make over using it and then have your pic taken. You will be able to wear it all day and see what it looks like photographed.

I will say it isn't the 'cover every flaw, photo perfect finish look' that I have had with other make ups, but even though it shows some imperfections, you skin looks so pretty. Does that make sense? I am having a little trouble with the fact that it's not a flawless look, but I am liking the 'naturalness' (is that a word) of how I look.

First, use glimmers for foiling. The "regular" shadows don't work as well. I put my wet/dry brush in water, "pinch" out the excess, dip the tip in the glimmer, then make a "paste" in the lid. What I don't use will eventually dry out and "fall" back into the pot. Then you just kind of "paint" on the paste. I tried it out at home one night when I didn't have to go anywhere -- used about 6 different colors to see which ones I liked. :-)

Don't have oily skin, but I will tell you -- my "regular" school picture this year was the best photo I have ever taken. My skin looked absolutely radiant! LOL - -sheesh, that sounds arrogant! One of my kids also took a digital pix of us together and gave me a copy -- darned if that good skin didn't photograph well there too! I'm not sure I have my school pix -- if I do, I'll scan it in and you can see what you think.

Are you sure you want a complete list? Here goes:
Brushes (2 full size, long handles, one full size short handle, 4 different eye shadow brushes, eye brow brush, travel brush that collapses, eye liner brush, angled blush brush, blending brush, and a couple others that I don't know what to call)

Foundations 2 and 4.5
Mineral Veil
Bisque
Clear Radiance
Warmth
Bronze blush
Eyeliners / Shadows
Bark
Java
Coffee Bean
Eggplant
Amethyst
Oz
Casey
Katherine
Tan lines
In the Buff
Butterfly
Soul
Tiger Lily
Antique Pearl
Sassy
True gold (AWESOME to foil with this!)
Soft romance
Amazing Amanda
Joyous Jennifer
Pacific Heights
Nob Hill
Blueberry
and at least 5 others I can't think of the name of right now, and I'm too lazy to get up and check.

As you can see, I tend to go for goldtones and avoid pinks because of my skin tones.

LOVE THIS THREAD!

Just noticed a self-tanner was mentioned in another thread -- I also have the faux tan (BIG 16 oz. bottle!). I LOVE IT! The trick is keeping your palms clean after applying it (those little gloves that come w/ home color kits work well), but it is a natural looking color and smells good. It's pricey -- but the stuff lasts forever!

I used to use Sun labs stuff -- even tried their aerosol spray. While I loved the spray -- it makes a horrible mess! The faux tan goes on as easily as a lotion and doesn't leave a mess in the bathroom! I usually put it on right after showering, then I put my makeup on and brush teeth (about 15 - 20 min.) to let it "set" before getting dressed. It's funny in the winter, because I only do my legs from the knees down and I look like an oreo! LOL

One more thing and then I promise I'll shut up! LOL

I use the eyeshadow faux fox for my eyebrow color. I have reddish blonde hair (thanks to Loreal), so the blonde is too light (although it matches my "real" eyebrows almost perfectly) and I've never tried their redhead one. Faux fox works beautifully -- and today I tried tan lines for a bit lighter look, and it worked well too!

I'm also using an "eye shadow" for my spring blush -- it's one of those that is more finely milled for the "soft" look -- and it's a rose color. I use bronze when I'm going for the tan look and soft (something???? Sorry -- I swapped containers w/ it and have no idea what it's called) when I'm wearing "cooler" colors.
