Bare Escentuals/Mineral Makeup Wearers Need Advice/Reassurance

[burberryplaid]

I just started wearing Bare Escentuals and I love it but I am sort of freaking out as I have been reading it doesn't photograph well. My brother in law's wedding is Saturday and I am scared I spent all of this money on makeup but I'm going to end up looking like crap! Please, please tell me I'll be okay! Has anyone worn BE/Mineral makeup on their wedding day or for a special occassion and had it look good in photos? Any tips to make it look okay, or should I go back to Sephora and try to find something better?

Any and all help appreciated!

I used to use Bare Escentials (I use bare minerals now) and they both photograph very nicely - much better than liquid makeup.

I use Bare Escentuals and photograph just fine!!!!!

ETA: If I were at home, I have a good closeup pic, not retouched. It was taken on my last cruise and probably the best pic of me. I would have to scan it. If I remember, I will do it when I get home.

me too. I think some of my best pixs have been with bare minerals.

I use Bare Minerals too. Just came back from a cruise and had many photos taken especially in the evening for dinner etc and all the professional pics. I thought my makeup looked very good.
Here is a pic.

OK, here's the pic. Take away all the shininess, I have a terrible oily complexion. Since then I have learned to use Monistat Chafing gel as a makeup primer. This cuts down tremendously on the oil!!!

Another one

Thank you so much for the reassurance and the pictures. I might get the monistat chafing gel as well..although I do have the Prime Time BE Primer

I am an Esthetician/Make-Up artist and I use BE...it is GREAT!! It's great for the skin too! Goes on smoothly and takes great pictures.

Absolutely!

Liquid makeup contains (I believe it is titanium dioxide?) Which reflects light and means when a flash is used, your face reflects it causing you to look like a ghost.

I have so many pictures that I am obviously tan with this WHITE face, and that's why.

Mineral makeup photographs much better.
