Swirl, Tap & Buff

100_0629.jpg

 

Those were the instructions with the new make-up I recently purchased.  Simply swirl, tap and buff.....and they were right.

 

As we get older, our skin tones change and make-up should also be changed to make us look our best.  I was fairly satisfied with what I'd been using......a special blend from a make-up tech in New Port Richey that I'd been using for quite a few years.  And when I moved to Cedar Key, I'd simply email her with my order and she shipped it to me.  However, when I was in Dallas with my girlfriend, Alice, she introduced me to Bare Escentuals.  She then gave me a demonstration of how to apply this make-up that she'd been using for awhile.  She'd also been introduced to it from a girlfriend.

 

I had to admit, it did look great.  The color blended on her face very well, making it look quite natural, yet giving her a envious glow.  She explained the foundation was made with a creamy, weightless, formula of light-reflecting minerals.  It's also free of preservatives, talc, oil, chemicals, etc. which can cause irritations. 

 

I was also impressed that the make-up is delivered to your door and comes with a DVD explaining the application, etc.  So after I was back home for a few weeks, I decided to check out their website at this link.

 

And I decided to order the starter kit.  I've had it about 2 weeks now, and I have to say......I'm sold.  It truly is very easy to apply......You put a bit into the cover of the container, swirl a small amount on your brush, tap away the excess and buff bareMinerals onto your skin in a circular motion.  Buff, buff, buff until you're satisfied with the coverage.  Less is more when applying bareMinerals. 

 

I use the foundation, warmth (which is similar to a blush) and then the Mineral Veil, which is the finishing touch.  It all keeps your complexion fresh and flawless all day.  Then I apply my eye make-up (which they do have, but I haven't purchased from them yet) and I'm good to go.

 

I have to say, I'm very impressed.....Since I have olive skin, I went with the "tan" shade and it blends in perfectly.  But what I like best is the nice glow it gives to my skin.  It just looks better.

 

So if you're looking for a change in your make-up, visit the website at the link above.  You might also be enthused with this make-up that I'm finding out more and more women are using.  Hey, getting "older" doesn't mean getting "drab"......everyone wants a nice, healthy, natural glow!

 

See you here next time............

I normally just wear some powder foundation and a little lip gloss. I don't know if you knew I got my eyeliner and lips done with permanent makeup (tattoo!). It needs to be redone (faded). I'd like some different, lighter foundation so I'll check out the site.
