Bare Minerals new liquid foundation

[cardigal]

Is anyone getting on well with this? I'm using it sparingly (2 drops) with a RT expert face brush and can see the brush strokes in a magnifying mirror :(

Any tips? Do I need to buy the BM brush?

When they had it on qvc but had run out of brushes, they hinted you could use other brushes.

I'd be interested to know how it goes. I've been tempted to ask for a demo, but didn't want to be steered back to their other foundations as I've used them before and didn't get on with them.

Thanks fubsy I had mine done in Debenhams and was chuffed with it - can't seem to get the hang of it at home though!

I'm using their BB primer underneath, will try without today.

Could it be to do with the lighting? I find I can put foundation on in my bathroom - dark, so I always have the overhead light on - and it looks great. I go into natural light and find its a totally wrong colour for me, or my pores look like craters.

Debenhams have very strong lighting, so if your home has more natural light, that could be why it looks different?

I use a 10x magnifying mirror for make-up next to an east window so there's nowhere to hide

Maybe you're looking too closely? Id be terrified if I saw my skin in that much detail

I didn't know they had a liquid foundation.

I started using their powder foundation because of a thread here. I only recently - last few days - went back to a liquid foundation from Boots, due mainly to cost but also I can't get BM here and I haven't had time to go into the city.

I couldn't look at myself in a 10x mag mirror either . It would be horrifying!!

I bought it the first day it was out and I really like it. I find that I have to almost dot it on at first and then go back around my face and buff it all in very thoroughly. Once it's all buffed in, I'd say it's the best foundation I've ever used.

I used to use their powder but when I got older it made the pores on my cheeks look worse. So, the lady recommended I try their night treatment in the daytime and it was incredible. I like to wear that when I want to look like I'm not wearing any makeup. It's like a cross between their regular powder foundation and a BB in terms of coverage.

I'll persevere then, thanks!

Try a beauty blender?

x10 magnification? I'd never leave the house! I think you're looking too closely, apply and take a normal mirror up to a window in natural day light. The car mirror is good too
