Yep!

i shall have a squizz a their site, do they offer samples too? another prob is matching colours for foundation i cannot find any colour that matches my face..ha

They do indeed offer samples. So far I've not had a problem matching any skin tone as it blends so well.

BE are Enriched Mineral Make up. Anything that contains Bysmuth Oxchloride, talc, perfume ect, is enriched and not a TRUE mineral make up. Try Krush Minerals, its a True Mineral make up range x

I have used Lily Lolo on myself for a couple of years and have placed an opening order to stock the range in my salon. I really like their products and they go on easily - very nice colours too!

As a make-up artist you can get 35% off at mac.

I am almost positive that the rep from Vani T told me that there was cornstarch in their range (another alternative to talc, now talc really is a mineral in itself but hmm cornstarch deffo isnt)

Talc is a nasty mineral, that is why all good mineral make up brands don't use it. Corn starch is a safer alternative, its used in a lot of natural baby products and true mineral make up ranges. x

Talc is an irritant whereas corn starch is kinder to the skin.

Hi, how would you go about this please would you just take in your make up certificates ? ect ... x minky

I seem to recall that the 35% isn't valid from concessions, only from MAC shops. As such it's no good for me as the nearest MAC shop to me is in London, or Brighton.
Grrr.

Yes the 35% is at mac stores only unfortunately. however you can shop online at MAC Pro i'm not sure if you have to be a pro member to access the site. you should be able to download an application form on there. you just need 2 forms of id to prove you are a make.up artist(certs biz card etc). hth x

I love Bare Escentuals. I only recently started using mineral make up in July. I decided I didn't want to wear foundation on holiday in Turkey and had read reviews about Bare Escentuals and it had staying power even in such high temperatures.

I am now a devoted fan of Bare Escentuals and have even persuaded my mum, nan and friend to start using their products as it looks so natural but gives good coverage.

I also noticed whereas foundation starts to rub off throughout the day, when I use the minerals my make up looks even better at the end of the day

jane iredale do a pressed powder and a liquid mineral foundation, the range is 100% pure and natural! they make the liquid foundation by suspending small beads of minerals in a aloe vera gel and the clever bottle measures out the correct amount of gel, crushes a mineral and mixes it together! both the presses powder and liquid minerals are alot less messy than the loose! xx

I use susanposnick colorflo which is powder in a brush attachment, but costs about £40 but find it covers my skin really well.
