I have oily skin, so when I heard that mineral based foundations are the best for my type of skin, I went to type this product. It has SPF 15, so it's great even during the winter time when you still need to protect your skin from UV rays! I love that it feels light on the skin, and doesn't feel bulky. I did not have any concerns with this product, it was a bit pricey but it did what it stated it would do, so that's why I gave it the great ratings.
I like the MAC better or the Elf cosmetics that are mineral. They seem to work just as good and they are not so expensive as the Bare Escentuals.
I use this to cover blemishes. I love the light weight coverage, and the SPF protection is a huge bonus.
this is one of the better mineral foundations i've tried. the coverage is very buildable and the product itself is lightweight, allowing skin to breathe. my only problem with bareminerals is that it's such a hassle and so time consuming.. buff, swirl, tap, etc. ugh! i prefer my pur 4 in 1 mineral foundation to this because it's easy -- buff on to the skin all over and your good to go. bareminerals is definetely great though and more gentle -- so i'd recommend it for even the most sensitive of skin. after using this vs. my regular liquid foundation for about a week, i noticed a drastic improvement in my skin.
When I first bought this I absolutely loved it! It covered my face really well and it lasted all day. But now, I don;t like it and have stopped using it. I'm not sure if my skin has changed but it doesn't look nice on me anymore. I barely lasts half a day on my face and it totally looks like I'm wearing something. It doesn't blend into my skin, just sits on top and kind of cakes up on certain spots.
I started using this product about 4 years ago and I loved it. It was perfect. I was certain I found the perfect foundation . My only problem was the messiness of the product. You could build on coverage and it looked radiant and smooth. I never had to reapply because it stayed on all day. I had combination skin with mild/occasional acne.
HOWEVER, my skin started changing a few years ago and last year I stopped using it because it just didn't work the same. It was almost sliding off my face and looked "patchy" and powdery/dull at times. I change between colors (Medium Beige to Golden Medium) and I've tried both the original and Matte formula thinking the product had changed. Unfortunately, I'm certain it's my skin as its gotten very oily and more acne prone with other issues.
I'm giving this product a 4/5 based on how it used to work for me. But now, I'd say it's only about 2/5 (or less even).
So my search for foundation continues!
I love the mineral veil!! It is perfect for setting my liquid foundation. It gives my skin a pore-less and perfect finished look. It helps my foundation last all day.
BareMinerals is the only type of make up I use. This foundation does an amazing job covering problem areas and at the same time feels nice and light on my face. They have an amazing range of colors to find the perfect match to your skin!
