Some hits-some misses NEW
by: Anonymous

I've been using this brand for about four months. I'm 44 VERY fair and have a history of rosacea and some sun damage. I really like the coverage and have added and experimented with their different veils. Their face primer is awesome-I didn't expect to like it, but now use it every day. I can't seem to get any results from their concealer but then again, I'm happy with the coverage. Now for the misses. Their eyebrow powder was horrible. Not even close to blonde- more like red. Also, I tried their eye primer and would definitely not recommend it. It caused creases. As far as their eyeshadows go, I really wanted to like them because their color selections are great but they didn't blend easily and irritated my eyelids. On another note, I'm really disappointed by the reviews that rave about the samples people receive with their orders. I've placed multiple orders and have yet to receive a sample of any of their products.

Ordered mine over a week ago. Monday I will be reversing charges at the bank. Priority is at most 3 days. Sorry, they suck!

So Excited NEW
by: Calgary

I'm in my early 40's and have used I think almost every thing out there I for the first time in my life can see my pores its making me crazy and also everything I've tried accentuates the fine lines on face and around my eyes. I started doing a bit of research and have heard so many good things about Faerie organics so I ordered a sample kit today and will come back and post my findings in a few weeks after I receive it
GOD I HOPE THIS WORKS
Wish me luck

Going Back to BE
by: Anonymous

I know I'm in the "minority" here (no pun intended), but I don't like this makeup at all. It's cakey and actually makes me look OLD. I am of mixed African American and Creole descent, and NONE of the colors match my skin tone even remotely. They offer a whitening powder to lighten the shades, but its just simpler for me to go back to BE Golden Tan.

With BE, I ALWAYS got compliments on my skin. With Faerie, you can tell I'm wearing makeup. It does last all day (unlike BE), but I would rather reapply BE than deal with this. Not a winner in my book.

I look 5 years younger
by: 58 with very dry skin

I love Faerie Organics full coverage foundation. I have very dry skin and was skeptical of any powder. At age 58, most minerals settle in the lines in my face.

I tried Faerie Organics airbrush finish but didn't like the sheen. The full coverage goes on as light or as heavy as you like and looks like you have very healthy skin and are wearing little if any foundation.

I give my moisturizer a few minutes to 'soak in' then apply it with a synthetic brush that holds the minerals like a magnet (Cargo Magic brush) and it keeps the minerals from falling all over my clothes. My skin still looks fabulous 16 hours after putting it on. I've only been using it a few weeks, but I think my skin looks healthier even after I take it off.

The concealer doesn't work for me. It does settle into the fine lines around my eyes, but the foundation and blush are great. (I use cargo blu ray concealer and it too lasts all day.)

Ordered it
by: RachyRach

I am currently using BM(bare minerals) i would never purchase that again its made me breakout(small pimples) and the shade is much tanner they don't seem to have my shade so i am hoping this mineral powder wrks as great as the reviews say!

Compare the Ingredient Lists
by: Elizabeth

I love the mineral foundation, but when I ordered the tinted moisturizer, the ingredients were significantly different than the advertised ingredients on their website (the mineral foundation had only one discrepancy - ultramarines). The most touted ingredients of the moisturizer, horsetail and silica, are not even in the product they sent. Grapeseed oil is also absent, substituted with sunflower oil. It also contains other ingredients (which may be harmless), not listed on the website. For a company that claims "Truth in Labeling," it is disappointing. What you see is NOT what you get.

Faerie is so far so good!

I tried the samples sent and wow, what a step up from Bare Minerals. As someone with oily acne prone skin (huge pores, acne since age 5 (pre-puberty)) I have never been able to find a decent foundation that looks natural, covers, and doesn't make me break out.

I had been using MAC Studio Fix with decent results, but hated the fact that basically I was slapping nasty chemicals on my face in an effort to control the oil. I saw an ad for BM and decided to give it a shot thinking it would be the best choice I ever made. WRONG! I had the worst breakout I have had in months, and my face is still peeling, red, and itchy.

I searched online to see if anyone else had experienced this, and indirectly found Faerie. Since switching to Faerie, my skin looks flawless, clearer, and no further breakouts so far (although I'm still healing from BM).

Faerie is also truly a natural product, it is a no-brainer as to what I will be sticking with. BM may work for some, but the Mineral Veil has parabens and other irritating ingredients. I do believe Faerie is the best mineral makeup out there, for more reasons than one. You also can't beat the fact that you can try before you buy. Awesome, this company is awesome.

So far -- excellent

Great coverage; pretty finish; my problem with BE according to derm was that the particles were too fine and clogged the pores, then so deep causing cystic acne. Can't wait to see the long term benefits of this mineral makeup!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
by: Dani

I searched YEARS to find a makeup that wouldn't break me out as bad as others did (ESPECIALLY Bare Minerals!) Faerie Organic mineral makeup not only stopped the breakouts, but actually makes my skin look & feel healthier (even once I take it off)! It has antibacterial ingredients that actually help clear acne. I was skeptical at first, but after trying the free sample kit then buying the whole kit I AM IN LOVE! I have no blemishes and my skin looks naturally flawless! I reccomend this makeup to EVERYONE, you won't be dissapointed. I now refuse to use anything else!

This is the best!
by: Justine

This is the only mineral foundation I will use. I have used BE, which is NOT good. And to comment on the other person who said it starts to slide towards the evening, I think they may b applying it incorrectly and putting TOO much on certain areas. You dont need alot of this and you need to make sure to use a high-quality Kabuki brush so it gets evenly distributed. This takes care of shine all day, doesnt run, makes you look fresh and flawless. And since using this makeup, my acne has cleared up, and so has the redness. I highly recommend trying the samples they provide with a mini-kabuki brush though! That is important!

Excellent!

I ordered the free samples and love this mineral line. The foundation feels silky and light on your face. It also offers great coverage. Since turning 30 I've suffered from adult acne and this product offers great coverage. It also stays on all day if you put the sheer veil on. I've also tried Bare Essentials - over rated, doesn't last all day and created small bumps on my face. I highly recommend faerie!

Best Mineral Makeup!
by: Shugiena

This mineral makeup not only looks natural but it has great coverage and keeps my skin from getting too oily(have a t-zone complexion). I usually have to blot my skin a few hours after applying my foundation but not at all when I use Faerie organic mineral makeup. Don't have to reapply it again later in the day since it stays on. Really liked the fact that I could buy a sample size of the makeup and try it out before purchasing the larger size. It doesn't go on feeling and looking chalky like the others.

i love this stuff!
by: Anonymous

it looks like you're not wearing any makeup at all while still covering the worst zits and making my skin look so dewy! i like the feeling that i'm not putting on a bunch of gunk of my face. i've tried bare minerals and used it for a few months...and i agree..its horrible! it gets shiny and greasy ehhh. this stuff is the same price too..like 23 i think.

not bad
by: Anonymous

It doesnt contain the 'nasties' of BE and doesnt get as shiney either which is great. It does unfortunately start to slide towrds the evening and touch ups are necessary to prevent embarrasing patches of foundation!

I like it as well.
by: Kathy

i used bareminerals, everydayminerals, etc, but i found this to be the best one. After i heard about the bad ingredients in bareminerals, i stopped using it and this was an awesome alternative!
