I still recommend mineral makeup-- we have many converts on this site.
also, look on sephora.com or go to your local store if you have one- they have their "best sellers" and I've read good things about several different companies, depending on what you're looking for in feel, coverage, etc. They have some great info. on their website.

I am making an effort not to use MK, simply b/c I don't want to support the company. I just can't stand to have their products in my house anymore.

Do the beauty bliss ladies -- you won't regret it!!

Loreal minerals isn't really a mineral foundation. The ingredients listed on it (I checked it out before I bought bare minerals brand) are basically like a loose powder with some minerals added--
I think minerals are great for oily skin. Plus, w/ the bare minerals/bare escentuals line that I use, th emineral veil has some great oil absorbing properties and can be applied under and/or over your mineral foundation, and it completely disappears on the skin. YOu don't look or feel cakey or like you have makeup on.
I was very skeptical of the mineral makeup thing until I just broke down and bought the basic kit- for around $60 you get 2 shades of foundation, warmth, the mineral veil, 3 brushes, and 1 other freebie, and an instructional dvd- I bought mine straight from the bare minerals website, as opposed to through sephora. (I think, directly from the company, the freebie you get along w/ all of that other stuff is Well Rested eyeshadow, a great base shade. If youorder through sephora, you get something different)
also, they have good customer service- twice I've called or emailed w/ a question, or wanted a different color, and they immediately got it to me w/ no questions.
the colors are very forgiving. I was always an ivory 200 MK wearer, and I started out w/ the Beige mineral kit since it wsa summer, but am now using the light. The light has a warm/neutral cast, but like I said, they are very forgiving and you could prob. wear several shades.
I love it- can you tell?
I also have a couple of the eyeshadows- they're fine. They ahve nice cheek colors, and I love my nude beach shimmer powder- I put it on over my eyeshadow for some extra sparkle- and I love it. It's not glittery, but it highlights well.
Anyway, kind of lengthy, but that's what I've found. I absolutely love it.

I totally agree with JPE. I have incredibly oily skin, I used to have to reapply my makeup throughout the day, until I started using the Oil Mattifier (one of the only MK products I'll continue to use). I have found the minerals to stay on better, blend better and control oil better than any other foundation I've used. I also started with the same kit from Bare Escentuals, with all the freebies. The mineral veil is awesome because it does absorb oil and you can reapply it throughout the day if needed and it just disappears on your face. I think the next time I need more I'll be getting Lynn's brand, because there is a finishing powder with the same oil-absorbing properties I believe. I also LOVE the Bare Escentuals brushes that come in the kit - they make application a cinch and good brushes do help it blend better.

The SPF in the foundation is great too, because I often don't put on a separate sunscreen product.

Okay, I'm done now too! 

Wow! Boo

I said this too! And I believed it!....

 

I feel like an  moon moon moon!!

Screw them and go to Lynn's site www.beautyblisscosmetics.com and order some GOOD mineral makeup! 

I LOVE her stuff...

I was totally unsure of which ones to get so I got several samples (using her suggestions on the site about color) and they all look great!  I am now mixing teo together and have a great look!

Get a few samples in your skin tone (the ones that works for all tones are really good) and start practicing...
