FairMaiden's review of Bare Minerals Foundation

“Creamy??? Not my definition ... nor the dictionary's!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by FairMaiden on 30/11/2011

I have dry skin and am borderline anaemic, so moisture and good coverage are essential. My skin, although fair, is very good for a 44 year old - no blemishes and smooth, but the inner corners of my eyes are very discoloured (grey/purple) and I have dark areas beneath both eyes (nearest the nose). I applied the Prime Time over my Eight Hour Creme. My skin was still very dewey from the creme (dewey being the look I love), but once I started to buff the recommended amount of mineral foundation on my skin, I could see that coverage was very poor and my skin immediately felt robbed of its dewey finish. The area under my eyes which is very delicate and softly lined, was now the 'focus' of my face, as the powder emphasised the dryness. I then applied the Bisque concealer to the inner corners of my eyes. This did not give the same 'creamy' finish as my regular creme concealer and the colour was mismatched to my fair skin by several shades. The shade emphasises the area of imperfection. To market this product as 'creamy' baffles me. It is a mineral powder and behaves as such. Cream/liquid is precisely that and powder likewise. Both cannot be the same and are not - as this product clearly demonstrates. The reason it stayed on for under an hour was because I washed it off ... and reached for my liquid foundation instead!
