applying bare minerals makeup
so ive been using bareminerals for about a month now. sometimes i love it, other times it just looks WEIRD! i think sometimes i use too much and it will look weird cakey and oily. but other times it looks just perfect! but i never know when im using too much because i have some acne scars so i always feel like if i dont use a lot it wont cover. can anyone tell me how to apply it better maybe? and what mineral veil do you recommend? i noticed the feather light mineral veil gives a sort of glow but i have kind of oily skin so it sort of just makes my skin look more oily!?

With Bare Minerals the key to remember is a little goes a very long way.
Regarding the concealing of your acne and scars I would be sure to use the small maximum concealer brush first and go over the areas you want to cover most.Basically, you will still be able to see the minerals at this point, but don't worry you will blend them in on the next step.
It may not seem like you put a lot on the brush, but if you take your time and keep buffing all over (with the kabuki or baby buki brush) you will get the coverage you want all over. Remember ot go in a sort of circular motion to get the desired affect.
I personally have found the best affect with just the original Mineral Veil. Again, very little goes a long way. I also have oily skins and it seems to tone it down.
Also, you could use the Warmth or another bronzer to blend the oils.
If all else fails, you can try a good moiusturizer that is specifically for oily skin, or also oil sheets, or sponges.
Either way, I am sure you will look beautiful! :)

As far as applying enough, make sure to do it in sunlight so you can see how the natural light hits it...and sorry but i cant say much about the oily skin, but maybe so oil pads? you can buy them for only a few dollars for about a hundred and they really help!
