bareMinerals Original Mineral Foundation Review

I like this foundation. It is easy to apply and lasts well on my skin. I love the fact that it goes on so easily and that you can just apply over the top if you want some more coverage during the day. I have relatively sensitive skin and this was no problem at all. I would definitely use this again.

Love love love this mineral powder! at first i was apprehensive as i usually only used liquid but this changed my mind!! full build-able coverage and not one bit cakey!

Bought this from my salon after they put it on my skin after a facial. I love how easily it buffs on and blends to your skin tone. It also doesn't dry out my skin, which I though would definitely happen with a powder foundation. You can build up the coverage but it can looks cakey, so look out for that!

This is quite expensive, but it does last a long time and is worth it compared to the other brand imitation of this.

This was my first ever foray into makeup and it's this brand that got me hooked. This stuff buffs like a dream and the coverage is very buildable. It is also amazing for your skin.

I found it worked best about 20-30 minutes after moisturising and buffed in with a kabuki brush. I don't think I ever looked oily and it always looked very natural - one of the most natural finishes of a foundation I've ever come across.

We can thank my local day spa for getting both myself and my mother hooked on this, which reminds me, I better order mother some replacements while I'm logged into Sephora!

I was bought the starter kit for a birthday present and I have never gone back to liquid foundation! Its so perfect for my skin, I have dry and oily skin, and can easily break out. If you don't like wearing heavy makeup, this is perfect for you, light but good coverage. Great product!

I am on my second one of these, I think they are fantastic. I used to have quite acne prone skin and would get stress pimples etc. This foundation is a good alternative to other foundations because it's a mineral foundation. My skin is always clear and it provides good coverage when I want it. I usually use it as a powder over my concealer and foundation, however some people just use it over BB creme which seems to do well as well.

I love this foundation as an everyday foundation as it doesn't feel heavy or caked and the SPF15 helps protect my skin. The coverage on this foundation is light to medium so is more suited to daytime wear. I usually need to do one touch up throughout the day. I have oily skin so i find a powder foundation is great for absorbing oils. My skin is very pale and find it hard to find foundations light enough, so i highly recommend this to any pale girls out there!

I splurged on this after a friend recommended it. Loved it! It applied so nicely, and I was surprised at the coverage. The shimmer in it is not over powering, and, in fact, draws the eye away from imperfections. However, it would not be ideal for very blemished skin. Coverage was light, but buildable. Cons - not as long lasting as I'd like on my oily skin, not good as concealer.

This product is easy to use and looks pretty good on. I am pretty pale and the colour is good. It is nice and light on my sensitive skin and hasn't caused any issues. There is a reasonable amount in the container and it lasts quite a while.

This is the first mineral foundation I have ever tried. After going through countless of reviews I was sold, went and got matched in the shade light (Im usually a C2 in Mac and 03ivory in Clinique even better). I have normal to dry skin, the first time I wore it just on top of my moisturiser and noticed that it cling to my dry spots. After that I used it with a thin layer of Nars Sheer Glow Foundation and the results were amazing. It provided a medium coverage and my friends complimented that it doesn't even look like I am wearing any foundation. Lasted for a good 7 hours without touch up. However, the T-zone do tend to get a little oily after a few hours.
