Bare minerals question

I have bumpy acne and acne scarring and one time I wore bare minerals and my cousin said wow you have a lot of pimples. Can bare minerals cover pimples or is it just for girls with good skin.

Which bare mineral foundation are you referring to? The powder one is absolutely horrendous on acne prone skin imo. It creates patches around acne and draws a lot of attention to it.

I would recommend a liquid foundation instead of powder because like Ramsha said it looks super dry and dusty almost.

It's different for everyone. I would suggest going to a boutique if there's one near you, and have them do a consultation. They'll go over everything and create a customized routine that works specifically for you. I work for bareMinerals, and I have seen it work wonders for girls with acne problems, and sometimes not. It just depends. We have tons of different options of everything though, so it's worth checking out. :)

Thank you guys and I got the starter kit so it has mineral dewy foundation and mineral matte foundation, a mineral fail and bronzer.

No foundation can blur out pimples...even cover usually, because the skin over pimples isn't porous so most if not all products will come off or just not cover at all

Oh okay, thank you for clearing that up. Thank you.

The matte foundation actually has activesoil complex in it, which should help clear up your skin :) the makeup is perfect for acne prone skin because it doesn't clog your pores and won't cause breakouts. Honestly, if you want full coverage, just make sure you're using the right brush- the handibuki or the full coverage kabuki are great for a higher coverage. Just remember the mantra, swirl tap buff! The more you buff the minerals into your skin, the better it's going to look :) I also work for bareMinerals btw!

Fairly certain Bare Minerals' foundation contains Mica which can irritate skin..especially if you are acne prone.

So basically I have bare minerals liquid foundation and after I apply it I can still see my under eye dark circles and I've tried to cover them with concealer and foundation and concealer makes it look weird , what should I put?

Well everything is formulated with the Activesoil Complex, but yes. :p

And Rozberry, you're correct. I'm not entirely sure which product do and do not, but some do contain very finely milled amounts. Some also contain Bismuth Oxychloride, which can also irritate your skin. Will I sit here and guarantee that this makeup will 100% clear everything up and work wonders for you, no. Because everyone's skin is different, so your skin may tolerate it, and it may not. That's why I suggested going in and trying it out. That way you can wear it around before purchasing to see how your skin reacts to it. I would suggest staying away from the loose powders, and try either the READY, or Complexion Rescue foundation along with the cream correcting concealer. Also, our max coverage face brush works wonders as a foundation brush for clients with acne problems.


As for the question about the dark circles, which concealer have you tried? Before or after the liquid?

After the liquid and I don't really remember the names because I've tried a few not only one

Thank you guys a lot! I'll try the foundation tomorrow and see how I like it.

I could still see my circles and it's obvious I'm wearing concealer cause it looks like I applied a lot of it

And should I apply concealer before the foundation?
