I am wondering if there's any kind of powder/mineral makeup out there that is better than Bare Minerals? I use the pressed version of the powder foundation. I really like the coverage and feel, but I've heard it might have ingredients that are not good for acne.
I am not really willing to change to a liquid foundation unless it is *awesome*. It takes a long time for me to apply liquid and I just don't have the skill or patience. I like the BM because it is quick and easy to apply. Besides, I always have to put a layer of pressed powder over liquid foundations.
I don't really like drugstore brands of makeup. Any suggestions?
EDIT 6/5/13: If the moderator could please PM me I would like some clarification. Thank you!

I use Everyday Minerals out of Austin. They were pretty small when I started using them, but they've grown. Many people here on this board used them. There were many lengthy threads and much love. Until they got larger and provided a less friendly service. Plus they seriously complicated up their colors making it even harder to figure out your match. And some claimed there was a change in formula and it irritated them. Never bothered me any and I haven't felt the need to seek out something else. Besides, I'm in Texas so this is about as buying local as I can get unless a mineral makeup maker has sprouted in Houston.
I've started using Alima Pure, and I liked it so much I've stopped using my liquid foundation, except for special occasions. I was surprised that the coverage was so good, my chin is pretty red with PIH at the moment and it covers it really well. And there's only a couple of ingredients too, so hasn't broke me out yet
My other foundation is Lancome 24hr, and it's amazing too. I'd recommend it if you ever want to try a liquid foundation. Have you tried using a stippling brush to apply liquid foundation? I find when I use mine it takes around 3-4 minutes to dot it onto my face and blend it in.
