Has anybody seen any shop or know any person selling Everyday Minerals mineral make up in Dubai ? I don't know how long it'll take to arrive if I order online.

Farwin, I had cystic acne for two years, and it was painful to the touch, just awful. I tried Bare Minerals for this, and it made my skin itch. Some people like it, but I hated it. If you have large pores, it also amplifies the effect if you apply too much. I was an artist at Sephora in a previous life, so luckily I was able to scour the store trying nearly all of them. Certain brands have more fragrance than others, and foundations would irritate my acne with no particular rhyme or reason. Oil free doesn't always matter, either--acne is not just a surface issue. I ended up using Dior Forever or YSL believe it or not--and those would likely be the last ones you'd think!! The coverage on Forever was just awesome, and the acne all but disappeared when I wore it. But that was 2007/8 and I think they changed the formula a bit. I would still give that a shot, and the YSL formula that is less emollient. Note: if you have a lot of superfluous hair on your face, a thicker matte foundation like Forever can make your face look hairy. If this is the case, try the YSL radiant, which is less matte.

Bare Minerals is a good brand of mineral make up. I am in Doha and Sephora here stocks it.

A google search revealed there's a place in Dubai which sells it but the contact number is not in use anymore. Have heard good reviews about Everyday Minerals specially for acne prone skin.Since I'm going on vacation in a few weeks time I don't want to order it online. Beebers,have you come across any other good brands that's good for acne prone skin ? I need some coverage.Don't want the aunts going on "ooh,you've got spots" about my face... :(

I browse mineral makeup from time to time at the usual places, but have never seen this.
