Which make up/foundation does not look like a mask?

I know there are tons of foundation questions out there, but i still need to know.


I use both powder and cream foundation by loreal, and it always seems like i have a mask on, even if i only use a tiny bit. i also have tiny hair in my face, which i dont want to remove and it always seems as if the makeup excentuates those hairs.


also, whats the ';bare minerals'; everybody seems to be talking about?


thanks a lot for your help!!
