Makeup recs

I have been using Bare Minerals for years, and I'm sick of my entire bathroom having a thin coating of powder on it. It gets everywhere! I am going shopping later and would like to buy new makeup. I'm thinking Sephora first and then maybe Nordtrom. I think I'd like to move to a pressed powder instead of the loose stuff and totally overhaul my makeup basics. My skin is pretty normal. Any recommendations? What do you love?

I haven't tried it yet, but Bare Minerals just introduced a liquid foundation. Perhaps it's worth a try if you like the product, but just don't like the mess.

I use Bare Minerals as well, so I can't suggest anything else.

I'm loving Makeup Forever these days. I use their HD foundation and pressed powder. In the summer when I need lighter coverage I use Chanel Cc cream or Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. Ask Sephora to use the color match tool on you- it's pretty cool.

Another vote for Sephora color match tool - I love it! My favorite brand in general is NARS, for foundation it's definitely NARS - I love their Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow foundation!!

Ditto Seahorse. I also use the Makeup Forever HD foundation and really love it. Otherwise, on "light days", I will use a very light coat of bare minerals over a layer of Origins VitaZing (which I use daily, regardless of the foundation I use!)

I'm a Bare Minerals girl too, so I can't offer any suggestions. I do empathize with the powder everywhere problem.

I use Mary Kay's mineral powder and don't have any problems with it getting everywhere, but the Bare Minerals was a mess for me too.

Have you tried the bare minerals pressed instead of loose? I find that less messy.

I'm back! I did really well at Sephora. The woman who helped me was fantastic. I switched to a BB cream after we did the color IQ. She set me up with a new eye shadow palette and a Naked palette (I've seen good reviews here). I'm pretty psyched, especially because it's been 4 hours and I still have a full face of makeup. I was constantly reapplying Bare Minerals!

I've totally fallen in love with using a BB cream instead of my mineral foundation lately! Glad you got a good haul (I looooove my Naked Basics palette!)!!

I don't know what rock I have been hiding under but I am just recently learning about BB cream! I think I might make a stop at Sephora this weekend.

BB and CCs are really great!

Agreed! I have a few and they are my go-too especially in the spring/summer months.

@poppies717 - what Naked palette did you get?
