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.

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.

It depends on your skin colour. If you are very fair skinned it leaves a foundation base on the area it is applied. My skin colour is light to medium & I just have to use a very light brush of my mineral foundation in addition to this product as this product seems to give me the majority of foundation.

It does not state that anywhere on the couple that I have at home. However, we used it all winter and had no issues with blocked pores! Hope that helps!

Daniel, I don't use mineral make up but I did try it on eyeshadow and it did not work for me. Dry, it did nothing and damp it made my eyeshadow blotchy.

I like the stuff! I was skeptical - but it works very well and is not caustic! As for coverage: that is hard to say. It think it will depend on the material(s) being removed i.e. thickness, age, and what it is... But, I would let the stuff sit for a bit - to do its magic. I found that applying it and then going back over it 15 mins later with a dabbing or swirling style with a throw-away brush worked best. In applying, more is not necessarily better. Patients is best... Hope that helps!! lv

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

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.

I love my mineral peel, it works great. I ordered from Amazon through seller pretty77. I had never used a product like this, but I'm so happy with the results. I have adult acne and the products I used tend to cause flaking/peeling of my skin. When I use the mineral peel, it takes off all the dead skin without stinging. Then I have a fresh face canvas to apply my products too without having to scrub my face to remove the dry skin. I use this product 4-5 days a week on my face. LOVE it. I wouldn't know how to tell if the product is fake before purchasing, but mine came in a glass bottle and looks legit with the labeling and what it claims to do. Very happy with it.

Mary, I've been using it for about a year and love it. Covers well and feels light on my skin, I also add powder as well. Hope this helps.

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 don't have facial hair, but I have worn this under makeup which can be equally tricky! I didn't have any issues with build up in certain areas like other mineral based sunscreens. It blends in nicely, isn't too greasy or thick and has with no white cast after rubbing it in. I think you could use this product and not have any problems.

Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Skin Revival Treatment ~ Clear .05 oz/1.4g Since BE/Bare minerals revised the container the product is exactly the same and that is a great thing!!!! What you can do about the sponge....as I did - go purchase a bag of cosmetic wedges or rounds really cheap at drug store and improvise using them to swirl around face. It's great idea. LOVE IT!!!

The product says it contains 5 oz. Not sure if it actually has that much. I was not impressed with this product, although I love the bare minerals foundation. I did not see much difference in redness improvement.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with this company, not so much the product (the make up worked well) and when the machine actually worked, I was pleased, but I felt as though I spent a lot of money upgrading to a better quality of machine and that one broke after two uses. Just not what it's cracked up to be and although their customer service reps are very nice, overall their customer service is not good. I went back to Bare Minerals and am very happy that i did. I hope this helps:)

I have adult acne so I would say that my pores that are large are mainly on my cheek and experience black heads too much. I have noticed with this product that it goes after those black heads and slowly reduces the pores size. I have also noticed that your face feels like a babies bottom after use, which a lot of products advertise but, this product really does it. Thanks for asking, I think I will do myself a peel today. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Been using bare minerals for so many years I can't remember. I live in the desert too. No problems.
