Try changing your makeup. I was using BE for years. Now I use only bismuth oxychloride free products. Two I highly recommend: Smashbox Halo (powder) Christopher Drummond (concealer) - His products are also organic. Once your face clears up, you'll be surprised how much LESS makeup you will need. :) Good luck. ~Della I’ve suffered from breakouts and acne for years…always thought it was just part of who I was.

So I VERY hesitantly walked into a Bare Minerals store and had the lady do the mineral makeup. I didn't think it would look good at all, but I was pretty surprised. I mean, it definitely didn't give me as much coverage as liquid foundation and concealer (obviously), but I needed so much coverage because I was wearing such heavy makeup that was making me break out! (kind of an oxymoron problem) So I decided to give BE a shot for a while and my skin never got the big pimples anymore! For a long time I used the Proactive system to clean and prevent acne and then I would ware the BE concealer, foundation, and mineral veil for my makeup. It's been a year and a half and now I never expect to get big pimples but I still get the tiny bumps! Most of them are on my forehead, then my cheeks, and last my chin and nose. They are the kind of bumps you can't see about 4 feet from a mirror but anything closer and you can see them. Some of them look like black heads, but others are just tiny raised bumps. So I'm starting to think that the Bismuth Oxychloride is causing the tiny bumps ... so I'm going to try a new mineral makeup that doesn't have the Bismuth Oxychloride. I was between Everyday Minerals and Faerie Organics ... I got the Faerie Organics because they played up the lack of Bismuth more. I'll post again and let everyone know how it works. If you've had a similar experience as me post something and let me know what you did and what worked for you (this includes what you use to cleanse and what foundation you ware). Thank You Hello,

I have excessive oily skin thats very congested and the mineral is meant to absorb the oils. It is pretty much like dirt in itself because the creator of the line wanted something natural so they go as natural as possible and wet dirt or mud actually has benefits. the rare minerals is very light on the skin and wont shake to the pillowcase. As far as bare escentuals go, I have noticed if you do not have oily skin you would be better off using their primer of skin revver upper. It helps the mineral stick a bit better, but it has no talc in it. I just want to say that on the rare minerals it does actually work. it was not made for people who like to wear make up to bed.

Half of them come from men! They have a wide variety of shades...when i'm not getting compliments I notice people staring at me...and you can tell it's the look of jealousy from women. Now I am way above average, looks wise...Everyday Minerals just makes me look even better. Everyday minerals is the best…i get at least 5-10 compliments on how beautiful my skin is a day!

I've been looking for info on this for quite a while and nobody seems to know why the BE Mineral Makeup cause me so much skin irritation. Now, I know which ingredients to avoid. Also, I have oily skin and not only did the mineral makeup make my skin itch, it also made it look cakey and greasy. The "shimmer" in the mineral makeups cause oily skin to look terrible & also cause blocked pores. Recently I've found an amazing mineral veil though, it's called Mattify! Loose Powder. It's super gentle and absorbs oil for several hours. I use it under and over liquid foundation and only need to use blotting papers once or twice a day. Previously, and when I used the BE Minerals, I had to use blotting papers every single hour! The ingredients don't cause any irritation - it only has Kaolin Clay and Cornstarch. Some people say that Cornstarch will cause breakouts, but it's been the complete opposite with me. Since I started using the Mattify Loose Powder, I'm down to only one or two breakouts per week. I'm thinking it's because the powder absorbs so much oil - not allowing pools of oil to sink into pores during the day. Before I started using this, I had around 20 breakouts weekly. Oh, I got it at www.mattifycosmetics.com for 8 bucks. So if anyone is looking for an oil absorbent powder that doesn't cause a bunch of facial problems, give this stuff a try. Awesome article!!

Bare escentuals is an amazing line and I've been in beauty for ten years. I've tried everything, i've used everything and i've applied everything. From high end brand to over the counter products. I've never seen a reaction to the product except for some people being allergic to corn starch maybe in the mineral veil or allergic to goat hair in the brushes. It's not always makeup. It could be the brushes too. When applied right, It definitely does not get on your pillow. Bare escentuals is an amazing line and I’ve been in beauty for ten years.

I have used bare essentials, I stopped because it gave me more acne, then switched to Jane Iredale mineral makeup which has made my skin even worse!!! I have stopped wearing mineral makeup all together now and only use water based liquid foundation for special events, I can tell you my skin has been slowly getting better!!! I don't know what it is, I think it could be the brushes and the fact that you really have to buff it in the skin that may cause the irritations on the skin.
