I will probably have to change my makeup once I get to TV, and I hear this stuff 'breathes'. I'm gonna need [U]some[U]coverage, as I have some broken capillaries and other wonders here and there.
Does this stuff adhere? I imagine it blowing off in the wind, or falling into my coffee. Is it compatible with sunscreen? Does it irritate your skin? (after all, it is supposed to be ground up minerals) Will I look like a goofball? Am I gonna make a mess with it in my bathroom sink?
Any experienced advice will be gratefully accepted. Thanks!

Actually, I've got some and it doesn't irritate my skin. I prefer not to use it because it makes my face feel hot in the summer, but my Mom in law uses is and loves it. If I remember the literature correctly, it might act as a sunscreen on some small level.
There is a trick to using the makeup, it's brushed on and it can be really easy to get too much on. If you've ever watched Leslie Blodgett on QVC working with Bare Minerals, she tells you to use so very little you think it's not going on.....but is does. Really, it looks good when applied correctly, just as any other make-up does. The blush is great and the eye minerals are really nice, too. Get good brushes, it makes application easier.
