Hi All,

I watched an advert for sheer cover mineral makeup that I was almost tempted to place an order for the makeup, the effects looked too good to be true

Can some one please tell me if mineral makeup is good for black skin, and Naija weather??

have you used it before, ?

which brand do you use and why?

How much?

Where can I buy??

Thanks in advance!!!

It didnt work for me, I used Mary kay Mineral makeup and it took me months to get my skin back. It clogged my pores and gave me cysts. Sheer cover doesnt do shades for people darker than Halle Berry.

I dont know specifically about sheer cover,but i use bare minerals and they have all shades to the darkest,it works 4 me,its sheer and very light weight,but it covers blemishes.In terms of naija weather,dont know how it will work when u sweat.

u can get mineral make up here in naija n it is good.i only knw of mary kay and sleek but if u ask me sleek is best for an african woman.

Some poor Nigerian girls use it.

poor?
lady u sure as hell don't know what mineral make up is

she sure knows wot she is talking about, poor girls use it too,though i dont use it but u can get a mineral make-up for a thousand plus around a thousand three or five, so its also affordable for poor ladies atleast at dat price

is it just me or you guys not talking about the same mineral make-up i'm talking about?

if someone offers me a bobbi brown foundation or loose powder to buy for less than 3000 naira do you think i'll buy it?
or is the concept of fake products now foreign to the dealers themselves?

Ladies, DO NIGERIAN gals use MINERAL MAKEUP? yes or no, (whats all this talk abt some gals been rich n others poor)
Yes some Nigerian Ladies use mineral makeup, but in my own opinion, our dark skin shade dont carry off mineral makeup very well. Plus our weather dont help either. They are expensive, not stay on for long because of the hot weather.

, right on the head!!

I was actually looking for a yes or no answer and where to buy and how much it costs and not whether mineral makeup is for rich, poor girls or local champions

NEWS FLASH!!!! Bobby brown is made in china, Even Avon and Iman and sleek is made in Taiwan, the cost of producing one powder is probably 250 naira but they sell it to you for 3-5k, it is called marketing and not fake.

i used that example cos she was insinuating mineral make-up is only for poor people. Mineral make-up is expensive as it is, so she either doesn't know what it is, or the one available is fake.

Yes their mineral/liquid/powder foundation broke me out. Took me months and accutane to cure my skin. Now I use Bobbi Browns foundation and powder. I dont wear makeup everyday, I try to let my skin breathe as much as possible. Mac makeup is also toxic for skin, though some lucky people can use it.


I agree with you guys, its just like Gap making their clothes for 50p in India and China and selling it for 70 pounds and above in the UK.
