Covers Redness and Brightens up EyesNovember 7, 2008 I wear Bare Minerals foundation in Medium Beige and find "Summer Bisque" to be a perfect match for my skintone. I dab Summer Bisque over my undereye circles and any red spots using the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush.
If I'm in a hurry it's the only makeup I wear because it really brightens up my eyes and covers any problem areas. This works well to blend trouble spots away, and with a few swipes of foundation over it I get a fresh-face, much more natural looking than the cream concealers I've switched over from. If you like BM foundation I'd highly recommend this product, as it has the same consistency and method of application, but with heavier coverage for the spots that need it.
Works wellOctober 30, 2008 I was shocked at how small the product container was for the price I paid. It works well though I won't purchase it again.
ick!October 18, 2008 I used to really love Bare Minerals..... until I found out about the ingredient Bismuth Oxychloride. At first my face LOVED this stuff. But after a few months of using it I noticed that when I wore it my face would be itchier then usual. I also started breaking out a LOT more then usual. It wasn't until I did some investigative work that I found out about that Bismuth ingredient and how heavy it is on your face. The whole reason you have to BUFF the makeup on is because the Bismuth Oxychloride is so heavy that it needs to be PUSHED into your skin. I noticed that my makeup felt and eventually looked like it slid off my face BECAUSE of how heavy it really is (you wouldn't think it was a heavy makeup being that it's mineral powder!)
I stopped using this stuff and IMMEDIATELY saw a difference in my face. It went from being ruddy looking to clean and clear and glowing. I switched my makeup to Alima Mineral makeup and WHAT a difference! For one thing you don't have to BUFF the stuff onto your face, and I feel you get SO much more powder for the price (Which is about the same as Bare Minerals!) The whole reason it feels like you get so much more is because you use a lot LESS! I LOVE Alima Mineral Makeup!
I love this product :)October 8, 2008 it leaves my sking glowing...i have an acne problem, and it really makes my sking look great, hides the blemishes. I also have the mineral veil that I used prior and after the base, and the warmth, that gives me a color that looks like I just came from the beach, and I live near it...it's fantastic.
Bisque is the BEST concealer; Well-Rested is a must for eyes!September 30, 2008 I always hated liquid concealer. I'd put it on...looked like I was indeed covering "something". So...I'd wash it off. I got so frustrated with buying and throwing away liquid concealer, I finally quit using it. But I still battled redness (especially on my nose and cheeks) and uneven color. I also hated liquid foundation. It was never the right color, always left that not-so-lovely line around my face, and I hated the way it felt on my skin! Then I tried B.E. four years ago....AMAZING! I will not use anything other than Bisque (Summer Bisque when I'm tan) as a concealer. I even used it after having laser surgery to remove sun damage (afer the recovery period, of course!) My face was still red and I had to return to work. I had started using B.E. before the surgery, so I thought I'd at least give it a try. I literally did one-half of my face with the Muti-Tasking Bisque in front of the mirror and showed my boyfriend. He couldn't believe it! I told him I should have videotaped it as a testimonial! (Now mind you I probably used 5x the amount I usually use, but it worked!) The Well-Rested is excellent for a quick, no-hassle eyeshadow! Just brush it on your lids and under your eyes and you really do look "Well Rested"! By the way, I am 50 years young. ;)
