bareMinerals Original Mineral Foundation Review

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.

I love this foundation, so easy and foolproof to apply, no need for a mirror! Evens out my skin tone and just looks better as the day goes on. Lasts forever too! It is very easy to colour match as they write a colour description on their website.

I purchased this in a kit and found it amazing especially for work, it covered really well was easy to apply and looked great on. It didn't feel like I was wearing lots of makeup either yet couldn't see any flaws in my skin. Loved it. Purchasing it with the kit came with brushes which was handy.

After one of my favourite YouTubers raved about the great results she was getting after switching to Bareminerals original foundation. I had to try it!

I’ve been using Bareminerals for over a year and have found the product is gentle on my skin and doesn’t clog my pores. I can use this every day and find my skin doesn’t break out.

Packaging is sleek and kept in a plastic jar with the product safely behind a twisting lid. Great for travel, you know product is not going to risk seeping out.

Gently tap a small amount of product into the lid. Taking a small amount on your brush, giving it a small tap on the side of the lid before applying. Starting on your cheek in a circular motion buff the foundation into your skin. The more you do this the creamer the product becomes. You can apply more to get your desired coverage. If buffed correctly you will have a creamy, smooth, flawless finish that doesn’t look caked on.

The biggest draw card for me is the gentleness of this product. It is shiny like a disco ball like some mineral foundations can be. It doesn’t feel like I have make up on at all and my skin can breathe. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since switching to this foundation and the added SPF is a huge advantage in our harsh climate.

I have this foundation in Matte, in neutral dark shade. It gives an even all over coverage with a light weight feel. It is SP 15 so even better for the skin, to use with your daily sun care regime. I love how it doesnt cake or clump even when worn over other products, such as primer or concealer. Overall a nice, clean look with even skin tone and a matte finish.

I had tried lots of other brands of mineral powder before and they didn't have very good coverage, so I was quite sceptical to try this despite the rave reviews. However I was pleasantly surprised that the colour chosen for me didn't make me look like a ghost nor did it melt off my face. I have Fairly Light for winter and Medium Beige for summer.

I just discovered this amazing mineral foundation at our new Mecca Maxima store. I love it so much, super easy to apply & makes my face look fabulous & glowing. Comes in a screw top pottle and a little goes along way & lasts all day. Feels lightweight on my skin and gives great coverage and the beauty of this product is you can choose to keep it mimium or build it up for more coverage. Works great at covering uneven skin tones while looking natural. This is the only mineral powder foundation that I have found not to dry out or set in my fine lines. I absolutely Love this product and can't wait to try other Bare Mineral products.

Purchased this foundation for a holiday to Bali wanting a lightweight easy to apply and wear base for the hot weather this product was the perfect choice application was easy using a flat top brush for buffing on and pressing into areas that need a bit more coverage I found it long lasting and reasonably transfer proof with a natural finish.
