Bare Minerals.....does it cover large pores? does anyone in their 50+ use this stuff?

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying. I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

This specific brush I think is best for liquid and cream foundations and blushes. For a mineral powder I would suggest a fuller/larger brush, but I do recommend this product line.

Absolutely. I use Bare Minerals, the Matte formula and I it works amazingly. It gives me such a light weight and flawless finish. You can also use the other brushes for the mineral blush and eye shadow. Definitely would recommend!

Yes, I do. My skin tends to be dry. I apply it right after my morning shower and about 30 minutes prior to applying make up. I've used both liquid and mineral powder and have personally found no problem with clumping.

No instructions. I personally searched pinterest and found a "template" with 6 different "looks" that I printed and placed inside the lid. And yes, I use it with my bare mineral powder foundation. Works wonderfully!

I use it under Maybelline's Instant age rewind eraser treatment makeup, keeps my skin moist, I have very dry skin, seems to smooth my skin, I really don't know how it would do as a primer under a mineral based makeup.

I have pretty large pores myself I do notice a difference in my pores when I use it regularly. I have combination skin I never got dry or flaky skin from this product. To me its def worth the money. I use mine with the Olay Prox Brush. And I love that thing with this product!!

I wouldn't use this for mineral powder. The one I would try is the buffing brush in the core collection. I find that one gives great coverage with powder products.

No, quite the contrary, Mineral make up has cleared up my adult acne and is the only makeup I have ever worn in my 67 year life that stayed on all day. I am awful about cleaning my face also as I work both day and night and am to tired or just forget by the end of my day/night! The e.l.f. mineral primer is the.o.ly one I have EVER used also that works.The price is amazing too.I love it and I have used the VERY expensive mineral makeups for 20 years...not any more!

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

My mom is 58 and has been using BE for five years. She loves it! It doesn't 'cover' large pores, but it does minimize pore size. She especially likes it because it doesn't settle into the lines and wrinkles around her mouth and eyes.

No experience with Mineral Fusion but I really like the Colorescience concealer pallet. I have fair to medium skin color and this does a great job of getting rid of red spider veins, brown spots and bruising from fillers with invisible coverage. It covers all the colors ranges. I think mineral Fusion only gives you two colors to a pallet which may not give you the same color concealing range. Hope this helps.

I've never tried it with mineral make up but I wouldn't use it for my eyeshadow because of the size and sponge like material #justmyopiniontho

Hey Girl,I am 61 and have used BE for at least 4 years...I love it!Yes, my pours are large, which has just happened in the last few months...OH MY! I think the important issue is the the moisturizer you use under your make up...it takes me longer to "GET" my face ready than to take :30 seconds to put on my BE. You can not depend on the BE to make your skin lovely but if you have a wonderful BASE MOISTURE that makes you feel good!Kathy BW

I've used this makeup for 30 years +. I have combination skin and it covers nicely (a little goes a long way), also, it lasts all day long without a touchup. Thus far I haven't found another foundation that compares to it.

Hi, I'm 60 too but my skin isn't too damaged. I don't think the Tria does much. I used it for 12 weeks and can't see much difference in my face. So, I think you might be disappointed. You might want to look into something more serious like the dot laser or the co2 laser.
