bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation

This stuff is really beautiful when fresh on your face but, if you have oily/combination skin I find it doesn't really last long without going patchy and starts shifting on your face - ESPECIALLY if used with their PrimeTime Primer. On the bright side, works nicely setting liquid foundations!

This foundation is perfect for my skin. I have sensitive skin and tend to break out very easily. This foundation lets your skin breathe, and looks so natural. This has buildable coverage. You can always add more for more coverage. I also feel it does not need touch ups throughout the day.

I love this powder, but it's not the best coverage powder. I use it all the time when I want a natural look. Not if I am trying to cover absolutely everything! If you are going to be trying it, I would suggest only for natural looks for everyday!

I have Fairly light, Warm, and the mineral veil. Fairly light is pretty good, though I notice that it doesn't necessarily cover my red blotches (when I break out, it's pretty serious), but I wouldn't switch brands. And I might even need to get matched with a new shade. Warm, however, delights me. I love giving myself a sun-kissed look in winter with warm on my T-zone and on my cheeks. I never remember to use the mineral veil, but when I have, it has never added or taken away my make-up, so I'm assuming it's a good product. :)

I love how natural this feels on my skin, I always forget I'm wearing anything at all. I wasn't really impressed by it when I first bought it, that week my complexion was great so I felt like it didn't make much of a difference but when I came out in red blotches, I was genuinely impressed by how little of the foundation it took to cover it up and make it look totally natural at the same time. I have a fairly oily T-Zone and this does wonders for covering it up, I'm using the original, not the matte and it's seriously excellent.

The coverage is quite light which I personally like, but you can build it up if you want to. It's about the same price as most foundations here, but as a student, I wince at the price sometimes ;)

I started off with this when I was young and when my skin wasn't as oily as it is now. I loved it! I started to the Matte formula last year and recently got the Original formula for xmas and I must say I prefer the Matte formula. It is a few bucks more but it is worth it if you have oily skin. The Original formula now gives me an unwanted sheen. I plan on finishing out the rest of the Original and buy Matte and stick with it.

I love this product as a foundation. I got this initally in the starters kits which came with Fair and Fairly Light, Mineral Veil, Warm, 3 brushes and also a brush shampoo all for about $80. I didn't like the packaging of those containers because none of them have stoppers so when you store them they get messy because product falls out of them. Also the kit sized containers are smaller than the standard sized one, but those still last a really long time. Instead of using the product the way that they teach you, I actually only apply this where I need coverage. Even though this feels like you are not wearing foundation, I just don't like covering my entire face. I don't have a lot of blemishes normally but I do have some uneven tones on my face (mainly the chin and nose area). This foundation is not the heavy coverage but it does a good job at evening out my face. This does last all day, I find that find you set the foundation with translucent powder then you don't have to worry about oil and shine. This product I highly recommend for people that are looking for some good coverage without using or feeling like they have too much product on your face. The product is a bit pricey, but honestly it will last you SO long! I love how there is SPF in this foundation, normally I don't wear sunscreen on my face because I do no like having too much products on my face. With this product I don't have to worry about that. The kit is a better price, but I don't like the Warmth, one of the full size brushes (it's useless) and also the lighter foundation in the kit is way too light so that is useless too.

This was one of the first foundations I had ever used. I like it and gives really great coverage, even if your skin isn't flawless or smooth. Also, the full size product lasts for a while.

Definitively recommend this powder and the whole "get started kit". The powder is light, soft, doesn't give you any caky effect, it covers dark circles even without any concealer, it even out your skin. This mineral powder is what you need, it is a matifier, a fixing powder, a concealer, a illuminator , it is the best !

I also love the fact that those little can have great security closing in order not to spoil anything when you open it! I definitively love that powder !!

I do like this foundation but I would only wear it if I was quickly going to the shops or if I was going somewhere near to home. The coverage is not quite enough for my skin, but if you had flawless skin this would be great. I'm too used to liquid foundation. Sometimes I may put a tiny bit of this over my liquid foundation to set it.
