Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I love this, it definitely makes your skin look flawless but still natural.

I love the way it makes your skin look better and better when time goes on, gives you the freshly applied look.

Better than dream matte mousse as that can make your skin dry and feel blocked up, maybelline makes your skin feel weightless and natural.

I have very oily skin and this does the job just right, i do not need to keep touching up with powder. :)

i bought mine on ebay for like £3.50 or something ridiculously cheap, so if you want to test it out look on ebay. I also tried the concealer which works amazingly.

I decided to try this product after seeing the advert on the T.V,'Pure Liquid Minerals' Yeah right! Thats one of the biggest lies I've ever heard! After just under a week of using it my face started getting loads of spots on it, my mum said it was probably the foundation and told me to stop using it. Guess what? As soon as I stopped applying it, the spots started to go away. Another week later they were gone! It was obviously the foundation. Maybelline's products are full of rubbish and harsh chemicals that can clogg up the skin. If your looking for a mineral foundation thats easy to apply, reasonably easy to get off (with make up remover wipes), stays on the skin, and gives you a light-heavy coverage (you can decide how much you need when your putting it on) then I would go for Elizabeth Arden Mineral Powder Foundation. It's ingredients are natural and not harsh at all on the skin. Best Foundation ever. Unlike Maybelline's cheap c***!

I bought this product over a year agao and still use it now almost every day. It looks very natural and makes pores look invisable and spots faded and gives you a natural glow. For people with oily skin your skin will still look a bit shiny but otherwise this product works very well. The only problem i had at first was its £10 but it is just about about worth it.

I was recommended this product by my daughter who is serving in the Forces so is allowed to wear make up for work but it has to look natural and she uses this product daily using a lighter application for the daytime when on duty and a slightly heavier one for evening off duty times she absolutely loves it so I tried it myself and I so pleased I did its a great foundation and as I am in my 50's have to be aware of foundation that goes cakey, its wonderful and would recommend it to anyone whatever age

WELL! i have been through alot of different foundations and i "still" have not found the right one.

To be honest i would warn anyone with tannish, oily skin NOT to buy this product.

I do admit the coverage is..."ok" although I have seen better.

This was my first time trying a mineral foundation and it made my skin look horribly cakey with a horrible reddish undertone that made me look red AND CAKEY! after a few hours of wear.

i will Not be buying this product again, WORST BARGIN MISTAKE EVER.

its extremely messy, the kabuki brush is too damn painful and i feel like my skin can't breath after its been applied and the coverage is soo not worth the mess i get on my clothes after applying. if you think it looks good after you have applied it? go check it out in the daylight and see how awfully and UN-naturally sits on the skin.

and warning if you have spots "DO NOT USE THIS FOUNDATION" you'll end up looking like you have scabby powdery volcanoes erupting all over your faces. and although m.a.c ISSS expensive it is bloody good and so worth the money. haha!

Beware of this crappy foundation

I bought Maybelline pure mineral foundation and wasnt really expecting alot because as I have come to find most foundations don't do what they claim. I have a fair yellow skin tone and I actually find their shades to be quite suitable although it did take me a while to pick the shade I needed as there doesnt seem alot of difference between them I could probably have had a better match chosing 1 shade lighter than I did however the one I chose is nice it blends well and evens my skin tone out which is something thats important for me as I sometimes get a few spots and marks on my face and I like a foundation which offers good coverage which is what this does. I didnt really like it when I tried applying it with my fingers but applying it with a foundation brush makes it look really good. I got it on offer for around £5.50 but normally its between £7-8 which I don't think is to bad because it is as good as some of the really expensive ones I have tried if not better.

I bought this Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral after having it applied during a free make over. I got on well with it, found it easy to apply, and with a reasonable coverage that wasn't nearly as cakey as liquid foundations (no matter what I try, they don't look right on me). It gives the most wonderful natural finish, not matte and not shiny. The brush is one of the best I have used.

The best point is that it didn't aggravate my spots. Even better, it seemed to help them; when I didn't wear it at all for a week, they were the worst they'd been in a long time.

The first pot lasted for nearly 8 months of daily use. Then I bought another one. The colour (02) was an even better match than before, but the coverage wasn't as good. Even worse, it seems to be irretating my cheeks. Its a shame, as I loved this product,

Its a good product, and pots do vary (my mates has bought one recently, and that's fine). However, I'm trying out some new ones. My tester pot from Lily LoLo turned up today, so am trying it tomorrow!

This product was a good starter for mineral make-up, as it wasn't too expensive. However, its not the best, but would be good for teenagers, or young people with good skin.

Working in a beauty store myself I'm always trying out different products previously I was having to use a full coverage foundation and powder but alls I need is this product and the brush a good way to try before you buy is if you've got any scars apply it on them to see how well it covers up scars and blemishes its also quick and easy to apply for people who are in a rush.

I got Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral in shade 020 (cameo) which was a perfect match, even though I'm normally the palest shade for everything.

*Application*

Although a bit messy, I found it easy to get the hang of brushing and buffing the powder on in a circular motion as instructed. BUT I have to get the tiniest amount of powder possible on the brush, otherwise it cakes out really quickly. However, applied well it looks really flawless.

*Coverage*

This is really good - it covers my under eye circles, spots and acne scars well. As long as I put moisturiser on first, it's fine, but without it, it makes my skin look rough and the powder just doesn't brush on properly. Another bad point is that the powder, even when applied sparingly, quickly settles into this small line I have to the side of my mouth - I'm only 20 and it's not normally visible, but this makes it much more obvious. The foundation lasts all day, although I did develop some shine. I tried brushing some translucent powder on, but this was a disaster - it looked bad and everything seemed to cake out. It did take a fair while to go shiny, so if you don't have oily skin you'd probably be good all day.

*Effect on Skin*

One thing I love about this product is it just seems to stop any developing spots in their tracks. I think this is because it is quite drying on skin - however, as I have oily skin, this suits me fine.

Having said that, it did cause me to develop some small pimples (much more so than any non-mineral foundations) and was a bit irritating at first.

*Removal*

It's easy to remove with a make-up removal wipe.
