Mineral makeup question?
by admin on Feb.17, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
so im gonna need new makeup soon, and im currently using revlon colorstay but i want to try something new and better that isnt comodegenic. i was thinking of getting maybelline mineral power in either liquid or loose powder form, loreal mineral foundation, or L.A. minerals. the thing is,since its online i dont know much about it. I have acne prone combination/oily skin and i dont really use powder makeup. how does it compare to the clinique mineral makeup and the other ones i listed and would it last a long time if i buy the full size?
PS: i know you can get samples but it has to be at least 10 dollars to order something, so if the samples dont match at all, i dont want to have to get 4 more to see if they match, and i always have trouble getting the right shade…

Revlon colorstay made me break out. Really hard to get it all off of your skin. Purest store brand is Physicians formula, but then you cant try samples!
Never tried clinique, but wow is it expensive!
I use the Hollywood formula of LA Minerals. My full size pot lasts me about 8-9 months. Yeah it's best to get samples first. But you can get free shipping if you are in the USA. Plus they send you a coupon for 10% off your first kit.
Anyways, you at least know if you have very pale skin. Then try to detemine if you are cool or warm or whatever. Helps narrow down the colors of samples you should try.
Maybe get your mom interested in ordering samples too:) Then maybe she will pay for it! LOL
The Valley girl formula has stuff in it for acne prone oily skin. Try that and their oil control powder, its really really good. I use it on my forehead and it lasts all day.
BE is bad for acne prone skin cuz of the bismuth oxychloride in it. LA doesn't use that ingredient.
Just google "bismuth oxychloride and cystic acne" and see what shows up!
