Bare Minerals Review


Hi everyone! 
I haven't done a review in a while and so thought I would do so today!



I bought this set a while ago and have been using it on and off because I just can't decide if I like it or not!
In the set you get your colour mineral foundation, a warmth powder, the mineral veil, 'prime time' primer and three brushes. Two sizes of fluffy brushes and a concealer brush. You need these brushes, as they are specifically designed to hold the mineral powder and transfer all the product to you face. Buying all of these products together in this set is the cheapest way to do it and its costs around £50.






The products give a light and very natural coverage. If you are having a very good skin day then these are perfect for just evening out your skin tone and creating a nice base for the rest of your make up. 

You are meant to be able to pick up some of the product on the concealer brush to create a fuller coverage in places you need it but I just don't find it does enough, particularly not to coverage blemishes. 

The primer is OK, it has a nice consistency and goes onto the skin smoothly but I don't find it makes a lot of difference. I love my Porefessional primer by Benefit and this just isn't as nice.

My favourite way to use the foundation is over my liquid foundation as more of a setting powder, it just finishes the face nicely and make the liquid foundation stay on all day. The mineral veil is a nice translucent powder, the very finely milled powder has a really silky texture on the skin. I don't notice a massive difference with the warmth but you can't win 'em all!

I do like this set, and it is fairly good value for money considering all the products that are included but I probably wont repurchase any of the products again, they just aren't my favourites!

Do you use Bare Minerals? I've heard such good things about it and yet I'm not blown away! Let me know what you think in the comments! 


Au revoir x
