Better coverage than liquid (2008-11-12)
I just got my kit today and am so in love! It is easy to use, covers well and is easy to touch up if need be. This includes both fair and fairly light. Fair is very light and fairly light is a tad darker, a bit too dark for my skin however I found a great use for it. Warmth, a foundation primer and 3 brushes complete the set.
You start by applying the primer, just a tad all over your face. It helps refine your pores a bit and I think it may help the make up stick. Then you use the swirl, tap, buff method to apply your foundation. You can mix colors, mix with warmth or just use the single color and apply. Then you can use your concealer brush to hide those tough spots. If you have some really troublesome skin you can buff again but I really see no need. Next, lightly brush warmth over your cheeks, nose lower chin and quickly across the forehead. This makes you look like you have a nice warm glow. Now, it may look a bit too strong on fair skin, but once you use the mineral veil, it tames the colors down and evens out your entire skin town to make everything blend seamlessly, refine pores and cover and little spots. You are left with no makeup lines on your face and no signs of wearing make up at all.
My husband came home and said something looks different but could not figure it out (he hates it when I look made up). I finally told him and he just loved it, said it was so natural and beautiful but most importantly it left my skin really soft.
I'll Never Go Back to Liquid Foundation Again (2008-10-22)
I have what i've always considered "problem skin". It's on the oily side with largish pores, prone to breakouts (even though I'm in my late 20s), and has a tendency to look greasy under makeup. For years I've worn liquid foundation to cover up these imperfections and to even out my skin tone. I never thought that a powder based foundation could work for me because they typically don't provide enough coverage.
I have a few friends that rave about bareMinerals, so when a store near me recently offered a free two week trial kit, I decided to try it. I was shocked at how well the bareMinerals foundation worked. It offers adjustable coverage, so I can wear more foundation when I need it, less when I don't. The makeup goes on smooth, is super easy to blend, and I never end up with a telltale foundation line on my chin. My skin doesn't get greasy under it, and it's all still there at the end of the day. All in all it seems like the perfect foundation!
This starter kit is a good deal if you're just starting out with bareMinerals. It has two foundation colors, so you can decide which one is right for you. It also has some All Over Warmth (it's basically a cross between blush and bronzer) and Mineral Veil (which is a great finishing powder) to finish your look. But the best thing about this kit is that it includes three brushes, a kabuki brush for full coverage foundation application, an all over face brush which works for lighter foundation application or mineral veil application, and a concealer brush for targeting problem areas and blemishes. The key to great bareMinerals application is these brushes, and the kit provides everything you need to get a flawless face every time.
