Bareminerals liquid users...

[hotcoconuts82]

I think there are a couple barminerals users on here...Do you find that it give you better coverage than the powder?  I was going to order the bareskin serum in the same shade I wear in the powder but it looks like all the names are different.  Is there a conversion chart or something?

Bare minerals fanatic here. I just got the liquid serum and complexion rescue about a week ago. There is no conversion chart that I know of. I just went into bare essentials and had a skin comparison. I just want to say that the serum foundation lasts little rally all day with a good primer. And it also works really well with the complexion rescue underneath. That coverage is amazeballs. I will continue to use my powder for work and casual days and save the liquid serum for going out and stuff.

I'm not a liquid user but am curious too!!!
Does it feel heavy?? I like the powder because it has good coverage and is light.

Nope, I did my make up yesterday around noon and by the end of the day I was still flawless and had to remember to wash my face. It's so light weight! That's why I love BM.

I loved bare minerals powder and went for the serum because I needed a bit more coverage. I am a former makeup artist and I have to say it is not my thing. I find the consistency really watery and it does not seem to smooth on well over my dry skin. I was needing more concealer and ending up wearing more makeup overall which is not the point. I switched to something else.

Hi! Lurking from Feb 15 I am not a fan of the bareskin! I actually returned it. First BE product I have ever returned, and I used to work there so I have a ridiculous amount of products from them! However, the new complexion rescue is amazing! It is hydrating and really stays put. You can build it up to a full coverage. Also, if you lightly buff on your loose minerals on top I'm sure the coverage is even better. As for color conversion, there is no chart. I would highly recommend going into a BE boutique to get shade matched! If you can't get into a boutique, I would call into a boutique and ask one of the Beauty Ambassadors what color they would recommend based on the loose mineral shade that you wear!

I recommend going to an ulta and getting shade matched. It is very lightweight but has great coverage. It is a pain of you have any dry skin patches, I suggest exfoliating really well before using it. I like it, but not as much as the powder personally.

Oh and as I have said before; the brush is a waste of money. It does work well for applying it but it gets gross after 2-4 applications and a pain to wash. I apply with my beauty blender more often than the brush.

I have to say, bare skin is unique and you really need a light hand with it and use only two drops or so. If you are super oily, skip it as it will slip.

Complexion rescue on the other hand is amazing! I can wear that with my bare skin setting powder and be done. Ready foundation is awesome over it too.

Yes, you will need to get shade matched. I use the Bareskin liquid foundation and then a very light dusting of the regular powder over it, followed by mineral veil. It works for me but it did take me a little while to figure out the coverage and amount to use and technique. It's really lightweight which I love. The powder by itself wasn't cutting it for me anymore so I like the routine I do now so much better

I absolutely love the liquid. It's so light and has amazing coverage. U have to make sure u shake it enough tho when u use it. If I don't shake it enough, it doesn't blend at all. And don't waste your money on the brush. I use my fingers and it blends better than with the brush. Plus,
I think u end up having to use more foundation when using the brush since some of it will get stuck in the bristles.

 I'm not familiar with the complexion rescue.  Is it a foundation? 

[hotcoconuts82]

It's good to know I don't have to buy the $30 brush to go with the liquid. I would have for should been suckered into that.

They call it a "hydrating gel" but I definitely consider it a foundation.  It gives me the same coverage any of my other foundations do, but it feels pretty light. It makes the skin look so great. I feel like I should work for the company again just to promote it, lol

I didn't buy the special brush for it.  I prefer just using a beauty blender to apply it, although the brush they designed to go with the ready foundation works great too.

I have the liquid, it's lovey. I shade matched at the store though. People are always like "Oh Di, you have such wonderful pregnancy glow" and I'm like "those are 4-6 different bare minerals products you're looking at..." Very light, stays on, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Works a little better than the powder.
