I hated my oily skin for so many years. I spent my early teen years hiding behind my hair, and getting teased for my greasy skin. I would often eye other girls' skin enviously. Long story short, it really made me feel ugly. So when I discovered makeup, I was ecstatic. It was around that time that there was a buzz about mineral makeups. They boasted how it wouldn't clog pores, and about its ability to offer lots of coverage with little product. After seeing the Bare Minerals infomercial, I was sold. To me it was a god-send.
Actually the first mineral makeup I used was Urban Decay's, Surreal Skin. It was my first real makeup purchase ever (apart from lip glosses and chapstick), and it worked. It stayed on all day, despite moisture. And my red zits were no match for its light reflecting power. It couldn't hide the bumpy texture of my skin however. I loved mineral makeup so much that I decided to invest in Bare Minerals when I ran out. It was only a bit more expensive at the time, so why not?
