Questions & Answers for bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit

Question

I bought this kit with the matte finish. I've read alot of reviews on how its good. But it doset give me any coverage at all! Can someone tell me why?

I really want clear and smooth flawless skin and I've read how it covers up some people's acneby the reviews. When i put this on, my skin looked very natural and looked like i had no makeup one. It also feels this way. But i have pimples and scars on my face and this isn't helping it at all! I can still see the redness and everything! I'm atcually a little dissapointed because i didn't find what i was looking for. Can somone pleae tell me what im doing wrong or something? i really want smooth flawless skin like the people on the magazine. The picture below is me with Bare Minerals makeup on.

one of the things that helped me was watching the dvd, and than looking to see what worked best with my skin. personally i always use the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush (the smaller, skinnier one) before i use the Flawless Application Face Brush (aka Handi Buki) so i start with the detailed coverage, and than go all over the face. It really works. but with my skin. my recomendation, is that TRY and experiment with the makeup and your skin. also great idea to help get rid of the acne definitely worth investing in the cleanser and washing your face every night and every morning with it. Hope i could help.. have fun!

I was recently colormatched by someone in the BE store and she gave me a tip on how to achieve a fuller concealing effect. She said if you use the top of the tip of the Maximum Concealer brush and dab the product directly on the pimples and scars, etc it will give you more coverage. The tip of the concealer brush has firmer bristles, which helps intensify the coverage. Doing this will not cause obvious darker "foundation spots" like other foundations sometimes do. You can also use the Precision Concealer brush for the same effect.

The handi buki brush will give you more coverage than the (full) flawless face brushes will. You can also mix a tiny bit of water with the foundation to make it thicker and use the max coverage brush to cover the spots you dont like. The brushes in the kit are for light-medium coverage, but using the water/foundation/max coverage brush before you apply the foundation normally might work too.

This product does not include a concealer, however the sales associate informed me that the foundation (I use Golden Tan) works just as well.

Question

Near the end of the page it says 'edit the contents of the kit' does this mean the type of makeup, or the color?

Would I be able to edit the contents, as in : changing a bronzer into a concealer, or a mosturizer into a primer of some type? or is this meaning editing the content as in making the makeup fit your skin tone? Please help.

no, you can only edit the foundation shade-but this is definitely a must buy!

I was wondering the same thing, so I went to a BE store and asked a sales lady. She told me that "edit the contents of the kit" means choosing your type of foundation (original, matte) and the color of the foundation. You cannot interchange any of the other items in the customizable get started kit.

It depends on how much you use your makeup. You can sign up for the Beauty Renewal Club Membership (last I checked it's free) and you can pick how often they ship the kit to you (from every one month, two months, three or four months) and they'l charge your credit card when they ship the kit to you automaticly.

I purchased my kit in December 2011...I still half half of the mineral veil and warm all over color. The only thing I have purchased is the foundation. The salesgal explained those would last close to a year and she is correct. The foundation is the only thing I have replaced because I use more of it. I have purchased 1 since December. Great product and a great value. Love it! Hope this helps. :}

Question

What am I doing wrong ?

I just bought the Bare Minerals starter kit for the first time. My skin looks more even and brighter, but I think my pores and fine wrinkles are more noticeable. Is it possible that I am not using enough of the makeup? Any technique suggestions would be appreciated.
