Love Bare Ess. but how do I hide these pores - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I just started using Bare Ess. make up in December and love, love, love it. For over 30 years I have used liquid foundation and never thought I could ever go to powder. Your face will never break out again...at least mine doesn't. So knowing how much I love it, there is a problem. With age, 3 mos until the big 5-0 ---I have quite a few mores on my nose and near it, chin and forehead. The BE makeup seems to really bring

them out. Yes, I do use Mineral Veil, but no luck. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

For those of you who have never tried the line, especially with age and those who might have Rosecia (sp?)....it truly is wonderful and I am so picky. I have built up a great collection of the eye shadow. The awesome colors are snow (soft white) for below brow area or even lid. There is a new color, summer...really pretty with a slight sparkle (not glitter) in it. The cashmere and cocoa are great below the white under the brow, either or. I have several others, but these are great. Eye liner line is great from BE too. Don't invest in their line of brushes, one brush runs $24.00. Go to your craft store and buy a good brush for about 7 or 8 dollars. They work well if not better. Get a very fine brush for the liner and make sure you don't get too much powder on it. You can always dab it again and again. The liner last forever. The blush is nice too.

Sephoria line has awesome lip and eye liner for $4. Goes on smooth and stays on good. Get the white liner and do you upper inside lid and it will brighten your eyes.

Just a few hints....

I read another girls post about this and she sprays her face with something like Evian spray, and rubs the powder lightly with a sponge. she said it covered the pores so that they were not noticeable.

I would consider buying one of the BE brushes. Maybe the baby buki (it's a bit less expensive than the full sized one) I tried using some of my other brushes for the mineral veil and they just didn't have the same effect (they were high quality brushes too!). In any case, I get rid of the pores by using mineral veil first, with the BE brush, then I buff, buff and buff some more. Works really well for the pores on my nose. For me, it seems like the more I buff, the better.
