I am doing my own makeup for my wedding. I have always used liquid foundation, but even with my favorite Revlon colorstay foundation, I start to get shiny and smudgy after a few hours. I have combination skin, so it can be tricky making sure my skin stays hydrated but also having good shine/oil control. My friends all tell me to try Bare Minerals, but I hate paying a lot of money for makeup, because it usually doesn't work well for me and isn't worth the money. I am also very fair and get blemishes on a fairly regular basis (definitely monthly, if you know what I mean) and my skin tone is uneven, so I need really good coverage.
I have thought about trying the Bare Minerals for my wedding day, but I thought I would see if anyone has tried it or uses it regularly. Is it worth the money? How long does it last? How is the coverage? Does it work well with other makeup, like brow pencil and eyeshadow? Have you used it with a mattifier and how did that go?
If you have any other makeup suggestions, please let me know!
Thank you!
