Anyone Apply Bare Minerals Using Flawless Face Brush for FULL Coverage & Do you use a primer 4 oily skin?

Hello Again. Thanks for all of your answers to my other Bare Minerals questions. I went to Sephora for a BE makeover, hoping to learn how to apply the stuff properly. The best tip that I got was not to use the Kabuki Brush since I am a Black woman. The young lady told me that the kabuki can make the minerals look ashy on darker skin. I have acne scarring for which I am seeing a derm. My wonderful doctor is really helping me get rid of the dark spots, but it'll take some time and I still need coverage. I don't want to look like too made up. I'm having success with the Flawless face brush, but I was wondering if anyone could share any tips/tricks to cover dark spots with Bare Minerals? I have lots of $ invested so switching brands is not an option. Do U use bisque to cover imperfections or do U just use the foundation? I just started with Smashbox primer to control oil, but after an hour, I'm oily again. I use a prescription acne gel (GR8 4 zits but not 4 oil). Thanks in advance!

I think you are doing all the right things. I just use the foundation and I also wash a lot with soap and water before I apply and then I spritz with water in a spray bottle during the day.





Oil blotting papers are great for excess oil during the day.
Reply:Thank you for the water spritz tip! I'm using rose water and so far, so good! Also, oil blotting papers RULE! Thanks for the reminder! I keep them in view now so I'll remember 2 use. Report It

Reply:if your skin is that oily then i would not put too much on it cause your just gonna clog your pores and get more acne. i'd dab on foundation over the spots that you are having problems with to cover it up. use one of those little wedge sponges. unfortunately if your skin is that oily then its gonna get oily after an hour and nothing short of medication is gonna stop that. id suggest bringing your primer with you for touch ups. good news is that you will not have a problem with wrinkles later in life!!
