Question on Mineral Makup

I have used the Bare Essentuals line of mineral makeup for quite some time now. I want to start to use the Miessence mineral makeup but have a question regarding concealer. I enjoy the mineral makeup powder products, don't like messing with liquid and sponges. Find the powder works best for me. With the Bare Essentuals line they have a powder concealer to go along with the powder makeup line. I noticed that the ONE Group line only offers what looks to be a creamy, soft type of concealer that you pat on, not a powder concealer. My question is: has anyone tried using the foundation powder in a slightly lighter shade as a concealer? What about the translucent powder, could that be used as a concealer? I plan to order some of the mineral makeup products this month so any advice or feedback you can offer that would help me with the order would be greatly appreciated!

The miessence concealer comes in similar packaging to the lip cremes. It is a solid creamy formula that you can dab on with your finger or a lip brush also works well.

Personally, I LOVE the concealer. It really provides excellent coverage and even fills large pores in - but the great part is it doesn't clog the pores.

I wouldn't personally recommend the translucent mineral powder - it is translucent (literally). I also find that it has a bit of a sparkle to it. Not much - but some. It is best applied over your finished face.

It may be a great idea to try going a shade lighter for a mineral powder concealer. If you try this - please post your results for us!
