Good Foundation

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.

bareMinerals - great product!

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!

Tips: Make sure you really buffer it into your skin, it can end up patchy if you don't. Watch the tutorial, its very helpful.

Medium Beige

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!

Tips: Kabuki. Tap, Swirl, Buff. It's that simple.

Surprisingly wonderful

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.

Tips: Use the mineral veil to set and give a dewy finish.

Pretty happy with this

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.

Natural Look

I have used Bare Minerals for several years now. I have tried several other kinds of foundation such as Bobby Brown, Mac, Dior, Rodan and Fields - to name a few. I didn't like the feeling of my face feeling heavy, or thick. Bare minerals keeps it feeling light, like I have no makeup on. I prefer having a natural look. I absolutely love it. However, if you do have dry skin - go with the BareSkin foundation rather than the powder. My only dislike on this foundation is that it comes of easy, so by the end of the day - it doesn't cover any of my imperfections.

Tips: The only tip I have is keep your face moisturized because if you have dryer skin, the bare minerals will show that.

Natural

This foundation has a nice feel to it, it feels very natural and definitely does not cake on your skin. There is not much coverage unless you apply multiple layers which can take a long time as it is a powder and has to built up. It stays on a long time though and has a nice colour to it. It is helpful having spf in it as well. I have used this for many years and I like to wear it over a liquid foundation for extra coverage

natural look

I am always looking for a nice natural coverage foundation but i am not a big fan of liquid foundation so this product was a great find for me. It gives a really nice natural light feeling coverage but a good coverage.I wouldnt recommend this if your need a lot of coverage but it does really well for my skin and i do have a few blemish type scars. I was really pleased at the way it blended into my natural skin colour. It didn't break me out like liquid foundations normally do so that was a major bonus for me.

Mineral magic

As a long time, unsatisfied user of liquid foundation, I recently bought bareMinerals and am a total convert! I have fairly dry skin and the minerals give even coverage and the colourings match perfectly, lasting all day long. I will definitely be buying this product again and have told all my friends about how great it is.

Tips: Start off slow with a small amount and build upon it if necessary.
