Will it work on my Birth mark? I mean will it cover it up?

The best companies know how important it is to have a solid foundation.

Lidman, no. This product is used as a foundation. You would need a concealer to cover a birth mark.

What's that?

Posted by Leela on 2007-01-12:

Exactly what it sounds like.

Posted by Lidman on 2007-01-12:

What do you mean? I am new to this stuff...

Posted by Leela on 2007-01-12:

Aw, c'mon, Lidman. If you want my cosmetics advice, you are just going to have to pay for it.

Posted by Lidman on 2007-01-12:

OK how much?

I was just looking at that stuff yesterday but didn't get it. Maybe I will have to give it a try!

I shall give it a try too. Sounds like the Bare Minerals stuff...

Hey Lid, Dermablend makes a foundation to cover birthmarks...my mother had big portwine birthmark and, while it's a little thick, it worked beautifully.

I tried "Bear Minerals" once. I slept the whole winter!

Sheriff........... LMAO!!

I find that most commercial makeup lines do not have good color choices for people who are biracial (black/white). I have even gone to Ulta and had them test about 5 shades and mixes on me and they don't have anything good.

Anyone know of a good line (no animal testing) that is heavy enough to cover freckles and a few acne scars but that isn't thick as spackle? It also has to have a very wide color range...

Hey Just, try Flori Roberts-it's designed for women of color. It's a department store makeup, so you can sample it and try it on before you buy it. I just checked the list of cosmetics that ARE tested on animals, FR isn't on it.

Okay, after reading this, I went out and tried this stuff. I paid $12.00, not bad, but had only three shades to choose from. I played with this stuff in varying degrees for over an hour and it did not cover the tiny red mark on my nose, it didn't cover the differences in skin tones on my face. It was like a face power and no matter how little or much I used, it settled and was orange looking. It shouldn't be called foundation because it covers nothing. I'm very glad it worked for you, but with respect, it was like lighting a match to perfectly good money.

SherryH, most foundations don't cover my imperfections, either. I still feel the need to use a little concealer here and there.

I guess I just really liked the feel of it on my face, and, for normal coverage, it did very well.

I am very sorry it didn't work for you as well as it did for me.
