The coverage is customisable from sheer to full, depending on what brush you use to apply it. With a stippling brush you will get a light to medium coverage and with one of the Bare Minerals face brushes, such as their Full Flawless Application Face Brush, or their Full Coverage Kabuki Brush, you can achieve full coverage. And no matter how much you apply, it is extremely light on the skin and it doesn’t really look like your wearing a full face of makeup (my boyfriend approves!).
After moisturizing (and on occasion applying a
primer), I like to use the excess powder in the lid and blend it out using my Real Techniques stippling brush. I like to apply this foundation after applying
any concealer, as it really helps the concealer stay in place - especially under
my eyes! The finish is really flattering, it gives an
airbrushed look and it leaves my skin looking really healthy and glowing, which
is partly down to the small shimmery particles in the powder, which may sound
off putting, but they are very subtle and the effect it gives is outstanding.
Also, my skin texture has improved dramatically since using this foundation
and I haven’t suffered from any breakouts (touch wood!), which is partially down to my new
skincare routine, but I believe this foundation has also really helped.
Along with the added bonus of having an SPF of 15, it
has to be one of the longest lasting foundations I own and have ever tried,
with or without a primer. I apply this foundation around 7.30am and at 6pm it
still looks pretty damn flawless! This foundation has by far become my go-to
and in fact, it is giving my favourite Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
a run for its money.
The only negative I have is the packaging, its messy.
You only have to look at the photo to see that! However, I can look past that, as
this foundation is outstanding. It is worth every penny and I certainly won’t be searching for a new
foundation anytime soon! It’s been tried and tested and the application is
effortless, the finish is flawless and it has improved my skin texture, what
more could I ask for?! I highly recommend this foundation, especially if you
suffer from sensitive, dull and dry skin like me. I will stop gushing now...
but you must try it! Go, go, go!!
