Alternative to bare mineral make up?

I have been using the bare mineral make up for years. Then there was the "be careful not to be breathing the powder", etc..

But I love the bare mineral look on my face. It has coverage enough for me. Gives me a nice glow (I do not use the veil thing).

What are my options? I tried the physician formula years ago and it was so caky. I have dry skin and moisture well but that looked like clay powder on my face

I do not want liquid foundation. I just cannot put this stuff on my face. Too heavy, itchy, thick and I stopped using it when I noticed this film residue still on my fingers after washing my hands.

How about a BB or CC cream?
IT cosmetics makes a great CC cream.
It isn't heavy like regular liquid foundation

Re: Alternative to bare mineral make up?

what was the concern with Bare Minerals? Was it a specific mineral that you wanted to avoid inhaling?

There are other mineral makeup brands out there- like PUR & Jane Iredale, but you'd have to check the ingredients to see if they have what you are trying to avoid. Have you tried the pressed bare minerals? That may help prevent inhalation.

I've use non-mineral pressed powder foundation- MAC, It, and Makeup Forever.
MakeUp Forever is my favorite, but It is probably best for your skin.(I've never compared ingredients though)
