Make-up - Bothell,WA

Hello,
Have you tried a mineral makeup like the bareminerals? I stopped wearing foundation because my face would not stay clear. I ordered some Bareminerals for my duaghter and she talked me into trying them. I really love the coverage and the breakouts stopped. The foundation is so light you really don't feel like you are wearing makeup.

My Mary Kay dealer is great. Here name is Louisa Molenkamp, and her email is ____@____.com
Hope this helps.

My Mary Kay friend is fabulous! Her name is Darlene Drake at www.marykay.com/ddrake1 and cell ###-###-####. Give her a call!

not sure about mary kay.. a long time ago when I was in high school and had acne.. I started using clinque double face pressed powder. it works great and the sales lady matched it to my skin perfect and it hid blemish well.. I still use it and I am 31 LOL.
Best of luck,
Lenc

Hey Lori! Another great skin care company that is known for their all natural products is Arbonne. I know a really great gal who represents Arbonne, and would be happy to talk with you and help you figure out what you need for your daughter. Her name is Annie Dong. Her phone number is: ###-###-####. And her e-mail is: ____@____.com luck!

I'm sure you have already gotten a hit back on this one... I actually (sorta) sell Mary Kay. I started using it when I developed skin problems while pregnant and decided to sign up as a consultant. I SWEAR by the skin care. The make up is actually GREAT too, but I'm not a huge make up person. (hence the only sorta on selling the stuff). I have skin care stock, since I use it exclusively. I'd always used Clinique and Origins prior, but switched to Mary Kay for skin care and what little makeup I do use at a friends urging. I tried it, and love it. And, if it's something I don't have, a friend of mine actually does it full time and is very professional. my email is ____@____.com, I check email pretty religiously
Hope that helps.

I know someone who sells it if you can't find someone let me know and she can get it to you fast

If you are willing to try another product line, I would love to help you! Aloette is having a 2 for 1 sale on all items this month. The Ultra Finish Foundation is a mineral powder makeup that doesn't cloge pores. Our Simply Clear skin care is for acne prone skin too. You can order on the website, but I would love to help you personally.

P.S. I would love to do a mother/daugher Aloette Show for you to get FREE products for both of you and to teach her how to take care of her skin and how to apply her makeup. Even though I live in Gig Harbor, I am in Lynnwood on a regular basis to visit family.

I've never used Mary Kay...but if you are already being ignored and your daughter has an acne problem, I would recommend Natural Mineral make up of some sort. There are lots of brands - one I found on Mamasource, lets you order samples for $2 - http://www.ktnaturals.com
I was happy with how fast it shipped and it wasn't the 1st type I tried, but I was very happy with the product as well. The prices are very reasonable - cheaper than some of the nationally known brands.

Good morning Lori, I just had a Motives make-up party over the weekend and most of my friends brought their teenage daughters, we had so much fun! Anyway the Motives skin care and make-up line is wonderful. The two artists I had here did custom blend foundations on everyone, plus skin care. The foundations turned out great on the girls, gives them a very natural, fresh looking face. There are custom blend mineral powders and blush available too. The Motives line is featured on Elle.com and will be in Rachel Ray's magazine coming out the end of this month. If you would like more info (right away) please contact me, my number is ###-###-#### or email me, thanks, M. : )

Lori -

The best treatment for acne is a home remedy. Don't waste your money on treatments like ProActive, Arbonne or others . They all work, but not as well or as quickly or as cheaply as this:

1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 tsp Tea Tree oil
Extra virgin olive oil

Use just enough olive oil to mix this into a paste. Have your daughter put this paste on her skin for 5 minutes at night, then rinse it off with luke warm water. In less than 2 weeks the acne will be gone. Use Bare Minerals (the real kind, not the copies) or Aveda foundation for a few weeks during the day. After that, see how her skin looks and feels. If it is healed and not in need of more treatments, she could try another foundation.

Lori - I am a Mary Kay consultant. I'm sorry you haven't had a good response from your current consultant. I'd be more than happy to work with you. Just send me an e-mail directly... ____@____.com... and we can chat about what you need. I also have a Web site that you can order directly from... www.marykay.com/elindenmuth. I look forward to working with you.

I would have her try Bare Minerals. It allows your skin to breath and it won't clog pores. It also provides great coverage if she goes through bad hormonal breakouts that no rememdy is going to prevent. So at least she can feel good about her face while dealing with acne and also know that her skin will not get worse.

Take her to the mall and get her skin tested for the right color. Then the most affordable option for starting out is to order everything online or over the phone. Make sure they do not sign you up for automatical refilss each month unless you want it. The starter kit is great and then you can get the refills of products you needs as you run low.

Hi Lori,

I'm not sure about their liquid foundation, but their powder foundation has Talc in it, so not sure if it would be the best for acne prone skin. I sure love their mascara though!

The Motives line of cosmetics that can be customized for individual skin tones and types, from Market America has high quality all natural, Fluid Silk Liquid Foundation that is water soluable http://www.marketamerica.com/kimkalin/index.cfm?action=sh... and a hydrating mineral powder that contains no talc and is easy and quick to apply http://www.marketamerica.com/kimkalin/index.cfm?action=sh.... Both of these types of foundations have been good for the acne prone skin. I've included the links so that you can check them out for yourself.

Market America also has an excellent line of skin products specific targeted for acne prone skin. The Timeless Prescription 3-step Acne care system, http://www.marketamerica.com/kimkalin/index.cfm?action=sh... helps to prepare and treat her skin before and after taking off her make-up. You can check out the benefits and ingredients of each of these products so you know what is in them and how they work. If you are interested in any products for helping to treat acne from the inside out let me know and I will get the information to you. My niece uses Ashanti Beauty Blend to help her skin along with the Motives cosmetics and she has seen great results. http://www.marketamerica.com/kimkalin/index.cfm?action=sh...

Motives is an excellent line of natural cosmetics. Please let me know if I can be assistance to you.

I wish you the best.

Hi Lori,

I am so sorry that you're having such a difficult time getting a hold a Mary Kay rep. I have a great contact for you and I know she'll DEFINITELY get back with you. I use her personally and she's fantastic! Customer Service is extremely important to me and simply returning people's phone calls is even more important, so I know exactly how you feel. At any rate, if you're interested and would like her name/number - just let me know and I'll be happy to give that to you.

Here's another: "How about this?" response;

BareMinerals in Nordstroms @ the Northgate mall, or in it's own shop in BelleSquare Bellevue. Of course, they're online, too...but I personally prefer things in person to start off with. Especially with anything involving color.

I used clinique for years and loved it (except for the price), but BareMinerals is even better for my skin. Clear like before puberty when I'm using it. My skin is NEVER clear, otherwise. It's particularly great for young people though...since its one flaw is that it highlights fine lines and wrinkles...and they don't HAVE any! :) Oh...incedentally...for me wearing it every day the little jars last for about 3 months. Which makes it less expensive then L'oreal.

Here's the website:

http://www.bareminerals.com

Do not buy Mary Kay for covering up acne. MK causes acne! Use a mineral makeup by L'Oreal or Bare Escentuals or www.larenim.com or make up by Paula Begoun (google her). I have battled Acne since I was 13. Go to your physician and get her on a prescription treatment schecdule. Retin-A, Differin and some basic cleansers will go a long way. Good luck.

Hi Lori!
My name is R. Nelson and I am also a consultant with Mary Kay. I do not know why you haven't heard back from the consultant you have called, but if she does not get back to you and you wanted to give me a call at ###-###-#### I would love to help you figure out the best foundation and order that for you ASAP.
Hope you are having a great day!

Hi Lori,
I have a Wonderful Mary Kay rep. Her name is Ronda Kinzig and her email is ____@____.com always gets back to me the same day!! I know you will be happy with her!

Have a great day!!
Cheryle :-)

There are so many different products out there....Mary Kay, Arbonne, Avon, NU Skin (I think is the spelling), and of course the brands you can find in the store.

Good luck.

My daughter has acne, and she found that Mary Kay worsened it. She now uses an expensive face wash she bought online from Europe and Clinique moisturizer. She also uses Bare minerals foundation and make up, and her skin looks a lot better. Good luck!

I dont know why you haven't got a response from a consultant in your area...I live in Oregon and my daughter is a Mary Kay consultant...you can email her if you would like to. ____@____.com her name is Alisha, maybe she can help you or direct you to someone to help you!

I am sorry to hear that you have contacted someone and they haven't called you back. I don't know why but I'm sorry to hear.

I sell MaryKay and have used it since I was a teen myself. I would be happy to help you meet you both and to have some fun trying things out. I would love to hear from you my number is ###-###-#### or my email is ____@____.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

We do have great products and even new mineral powders, eye colors, and more. My website is www.marykay.com/michelegrant

Good Morning Lori..
Sometimes if a MK consultant doesnt have the item you wanted..it may take her about two weeks to recive a new order.
Also if your MK lady is a director..most of them stay pretty well stocked..a reg. consultant may or may not have the item and had to re-oder..Most MK consultants also work other jobs.
Do you have a phone number for the MK lady you might give her a phone call also..sometimes computers dont work..
I dont know what area you live..but heres my MK consultants
phone and she ships..and shes home today..###-###-#### and her name is Melissa..Good Luck to you...C.

I love Mary Kay products - especially the moisturizer and foundation. It's too bad the consultant you've contacted hasn't been in touch. My mom is a consultant if your willing to give someone new a try. Please let me know - ____@____.com (M.)

I have a friend who had acne. Arbonne worked for her and she's now a rep. I see you already have a recommendation for Arbonne, below :).

Hi Lori,
You'll want to be cautious about any products that have a petroleum/mineral oil base. Also be cautious of foundations with tallow, which is an animal by-product. All of these things will clog the pores and make acne worse, as well as interfere with the skins ability to function optimally.
I am a consultant with Arbinne International and we have a number of products that would benefit your daughter.
If you are looking for skin care, we have the Clear Advantage skin care line. This is a 3-step acne line that has a nutritional supplement w/ L-Lysine. Thios is the line my 12-year old daughter uses to control her acne and it has provided amazing results. We also have the Intelligence Skin Care Line. This is a self-adjusting skin care line formulated for people 15-30 years of age.
We also have a number of choices for make-up and foundations. Our FYI Line (For Young Individuals) has a tinted moisturizer. This provides a moderate amount of coverage in a moisturizer with an SPF 15. We also have liquid and mineral powder foundations in 15 shades with an SPF of 15 as well.
All of our products use essential oils, instead of mineral oil/petroleum so the products won't clog the pores. We have no tallow/animal byproducts. We have no talc. Instead, we use clear mineral pigments so our colors stay true.
For more information, you can go to my website at www.nursekerry.myarbonne.com. You may order directly from the site or contact me for more information. Products will be sent directly to you and you will usually receive them in 3-5 days.
Good Luck!

Hello,
Avon has a whole line targeted toward teens I am sure they have something. Plus we now have our own version on the proactive that works just as well if not better and is less expensive. You can go to www.youravon.com/adoerfler or reply and I will get intouch with you.
If you are really set on MaryKay my friend Susan sells it and I can give you her info too. Just let me know. We live in Keizer, Or.

I do know that the makeup works I used to sell M. Kay and it does wonders with people with acne what I would do is get on their website at marykay.com and then find your area rep and then call her. The phone number should be there for you

Hi Lori,

Has the consultant contacted you yet? I know Mary Kay Consultants so if you need another contact let me know! Have you thought about using bare minerals which is suppose to be good for your skin? I haven't tried them yet but my mother in law uses them and she is very pleased! The minerals are suppose to be natural and essential to the body.

S. R

Hey Lori,
I would try Aloette skincare and their makeup... they are all aloe based, and no chemical fillers and their makeup is aloebased and mineral based and vitamin infused so it is good for the skin and gives awesome coverage wether she is using the liquid, creme to powder or the spf15 powder foundation.. an awesome consultant to contact is G. and her email is ____@____.com and her number is ###-###-####
she will get back to you and give you more info tooo... GOOD luck... OH they also have an awesome skincare for acme which is alchol free and benzol peroxide free too... :D

Make up from any company can make acne worse.

The best solution is to keep skin clean & well moisturized! The drier the skin - the more oil it produces - causing more acne.

Don't waste $ on top brands. I use Dove bars for cleansing & Kiss My Face lotions - made from Aloe & Olive Oil.

I still get occasional pimples - I treat them with Burt's Bees blemish stick. A dab of Visine will help with redness. A dab of St. Yves Eye Stress Gel will help with swelling.

The simpler the better!!!

Lori,
You have had alot of consultants tell you to call them. I to am a consultant but I live in Alaska so I not looking to pick you up as a customer. What I wanted to say is to call or email Mary Kay the company and find out if that counsutant is still active. The company may be able to give you another contanct. Hope this helps.

Hello!
I'm so sorry that no one has responed to you. Maybe the email was wrong somehow. That must be very frustrating for you.
I'm a Mary Kay consultant in the Central Oregon area. Please let me know if there is anything I could help you with! My number is ###-###-####. I always return my calls promptly! My clients are very important to me.

Sincerely,
J.

Hi Lori =) I have the same problem as your daughter. acne didn't start for me until college but has followed me into adulthood. First of all, proactiv saved my life. My skin is so much better now and I only get small blemishes occasionally, instead of all over my face all the time. I would definitely reccommend that along with a very good make up. Mary Kay is not guilty of false advertising. They were the best makeup I used until I moved up here and got too pale to use any of their colors =). My husband ordered bare minerals for me and it is THE best for acne prone skin. I now have two children and use the proactiv much less than I should just beacuse I'm too tired at night most of the time (I know that's terrible and almost no excuse) to wash my face. But Bare Minerals advertises that you can sleep in their make up. You can. My acne breakouts have lessened since I started using it (even thought I use my proactiv less and actually sleep in my make up) It also lasts longer. sometimes about about the consistency of the make up makes it cover better with less. Also, no matter how much I've accidentally or on purpose put on I've never suffered from that awful pancake face look. It's a little more expensive than Mary Kay, but lasts longer and is way better for your skin. I don't know where you are located, but Bare Minerals is sold online, OR there is a store at Bellevue Square and Nordstrom in Tacoma Mall has a counter. These are good options because your daughter can even try it before she decides if she like it or not. Also, if you buy off the internet they have a liberal satisfactions gaurantee as well. It's a full line, too, foundation, blush, brozer, eye shadow, you name it, they've got it. Also, Proactiv is the same way, online, or they have kiosks in Tacoma Mall and I THINK Olympia. Oh yeah, when I use the Proativ as directed, I don't NEED to wear make-up. If I didn't have two kids, and thus dark circles like youw ouldn't believe, I probably would only wear make up on special occasions. I hope this isn't too rambling. It's silly but I really believe in both Bare Minerals and Proactiv, they've saved my skin.

If you want something that is cheap and doesn't harm the skin, you could try going to www.eyeslipsface.com They have been featured in countless known magazines. 90% of their products are pretty skin safe and are only...*drum roll* $1! Should check it out. They also have mineral makeup as well...reasonably priced. Don't spend an arm and leg. I have TONS of this makeup and swear by it. They go for quality, not quantity. Check it out! :D ~B.

Check out http://www.devita.net/index.mgi2 for truely organic natural good for you good for the earth makeup and skin care products. Even better, you can call them and usually speak to one of the owners who will answer any and all of your questions. I do not work for them but I have used their products, heard their radio show on www.contacttalkradio.com Cheryl Anne Devita and I have been impressed with their customer service as well as the product line.
They have acne stuff and can direct you to other companies that have natural good for your daughter products.
My favorite foundation is Dr Hauschka. You can find their products on line and at PCC (Seattle) and Whole Foods.
Have a great day.

Lori, I have two great consultants who would definately follow up with you.

I personally can't use Mary Kay...I break out where ever it touches my skin. If you are going to spend that kind of money..look at something mild (no mary kay is not mild, it is very heavy) like Clinique. Even talking to a cosmetic consultant at a high-end department store would give you good information. They are usually trained in the products they sell, and could give information on a wide range of products.
Good luck

I had bad acne as a teen and into my early twenties. I tried a lot of different company's products and spent way too much trying to find something that worked. I went to college and was broke so I went to Walmart and bought Neutrogena's clear bar soap for $2 and it worked, my acne cleared up. I like Mary Kay's make up but hate the face cleansing products, my skin is horrible after using them.

First, I would change consultants if she is not responding. There are plenty of great ones out there.

Second, unless she has major blemishes she is trying to cover, I would not recommend your daughter to wear foundation. I almost never do, and have received compliments from professional make-up artists about the quality of my skin. Just a thought, I know it is necessary sometimes/all the time for some people, but if she can get by without it her skin will be way better off.

As my mom sold MK I've grown up with it and used it forever - happy customer. But to be honest, I buy all mine off of E-bay because it's about half price. Velocity is great, so it Timewise. Good luck!

Mary Kay is really great make-up. I don't know why someone didn't contact you. However, I would recommend Bare Minerals. I used to sell Mary Kay in college, but I'm in LOVE with Bare Minerals now. They have an acne formula that has natural ingredients--witch hazel, etc. that I think works great. Of course, I'm in my 30s, but I have that occasional pimple once in a while. Here's their website:

http://bareminerals.com/

Best of luck!
