bareMinerals Original Foundation Review
 |
I've been using bareMinerals foundation for almost three years and I have not used any other foundation since! It is definitely my go to product. You can purchase it online at www.bareescentuals.com or, at Sephora or Ulta. The price is $27, which I think is fair based on the quality and quantity of the product that you get. This is a perfect foundation for every skin type. What I love most about this product is that is is actually good for your skin! So it doesn't just cover up blemishes and imperfections but it actively works to correct them. It is completely mineral based and is made with creamy minerals to promote hydration of the skin. It is also made without parabens, binders, fillers or any other synthetic chemicals. Another great aspect of this foundation is that it contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to give you sun protection of SPF 15.
This foundation comes in two finishes; original finish, which is natural and dewey, and a matte finish, for oily skin types. Even though it is technically a powder foundation it leaves more of a radiant finish on the skin. It is extremely natural looking and blends seamlessly into your skin. The coverage is completely build-able, you can create light coverage and full. I would suggest different brushes depending on the amount of coverage you need.

| Flawless Face Brush |
The Flawless Application Face brush is a perfect option for light to medium coverage. Its all natural bristles feel soft against the skin. bareMinerals suggests the swirl, tap, buff method when applying the foundation. You put some of the minerals in the lid, swirl the brush into the minerals, tap off the excess and buff into your skin in circular motions. The more you buff into the skin the more coverage you will get. The coverage of this foundation can be referred to as 'build-able' because, depending on how you apply it, you can add more layers to create your desired amount of coverage. This brush is also a good choice to use for a finishing powder, or a mineral veil. It will add a sheer layer to the skin to help make the foundation last longer.

| Full Flawless Face Brush |
The Full Flawless Face brush may look very similar to the previous brush but, it is built a little differently. It's bristles are made out of the same all natural material but there are more of them. This is a dense brush used to create medium to full coverage. You would use this brush with the same swirl, tap, buff method. Both of these brushes come in the bareMinerals Get Started Kit which is great for people who are new to the brand.
The kit comes with:
- 2 shades of the original foundation
- original mineral veil
- all-over face color in warmth
- full flawless face brush
- flawless application face brush
- maximum coverage concealer brush
