I have been using the Bare Minerals original powder foundation for at least 20 years. I’ve started using the tinted gel cream for my primer. I have found the secret to good coverage, as you mentioned, was buffing it into your skin. Buff, buff, buff, and then buff some more! I’ve always liked the coverage and the feeling of having no make-up on at all. I do used the mineral veil finishing powder to set it. Thanks for the demos!
I was an educator and master artist and store manager for bareMinerals fir almost 10 years. I loved your review. My only critic is the brush you used for the original powder foundation and your buffing technique. Other then that I thought your review was spot on. I love bare pro liquid and use them for most of my makeup application. Like you said there is a place for all of them in a persons foundation collection.
This means so much to me! I agree about my application of the powder foundation. I need to do a follow up on just the powder bareMinerals products. If I do I might reach out to you for advice if that is ok. Thank you so much!
@@Lemonbylemon Bareminerals has a matte loose powder foundation, it's great for up to medium coverage and is great for sensitive skin. The bareminerals powder foundations are talc free, so they are minerals not powders. They won't flake on skin. Also, try the Pro performance liquid foundation.
Thank you Kathryn! I have used BM original powder foundation for years. I am trying to decide between the Complexion Rescue and the Liquid Mineral. Your evaluations helped me a lot. I want minimal coverage and I have mature, super fair skin. Because I don’t like the glowy finish I may even consider the BarePro with a light hand. Your detailed feedback has helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together a video of ALL B.M. foundations. This video has helped so much in narrowing down my choice between them. I've never used Bare Minerals and was so lost as which one to choose. You helped me so much!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video!! I love the foundation stick but it seems like it's going away. I'm not able to buy it online or in stores the shade I liked so now I'm back to searching for another foundation. This video has helped with trying out the new foundation made by bareminerals. Thank you again for your help!!!
Terrific video! Bare pro is my favorite too. I use it for more special days, and then I use the powder foundation or the gel tinted moisturizer for casual days. Another trick I have found is to use a bit of the Barepro on my bad age spots, like a concealer, underneath the powder or tinted moisturizer foundations on casual days as well. In my opinion you just can’t beat Bare Minerals. Thanks for a great video!
It seems so hard to find a decent complexion or sunscreen product WITHOUT silicone these days (even those high end >$100 ones, so sad cuz i really detest the feel of silicone layer on skin, however thin it might be) so glad to know that these BM products you reviewed are silicone free. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks so much. Definitely try the original powder foundation again and use a buffing brush, buffing into the skin. It's an amazing foundation :)
Great reviews. I actually have the tinted moisturizer and powder foundation. I use them together when I want my makeup to last all day. I will definitely pass on the newer foundation but I’m really wanting to try the BarePro. Love your eyes so pretty.
Since this is one of the main brands for problem skin, Your comprehensive review is invaluable to me. I had bought the Original Bare Minerals Liquid Foundation and was displeased with the dewy coverage. So disappointed, I searched TH-cam for additional information. Gratefully, I found Your review. I will be getting Your preference...Bare Pro. Thank You! I am now a new subscriber looking forward to Your recommendations🌹
@@KZBeautyCoach omg yes it is such a beautiful foundation, I used it back in my late20’s now in my 60’s I’m not wearing anything but this! Tfs this video
@@bxgal347 Exact same for me. I started using the original powder when it first came out as an infomercial. I am now 60 and still using it. Through all of my skin changes as I aged, this mineral foundation has just changed right along with me and still works as well for me now as a grandma as it did when my children were preschool age. My favorite thing about it is I cannot feel it on me (feels no different than when I have no makeup on) and it has no odor to it. Liquid foundations is too perfumey for me. I also like I can blend 2 or more colors together to match my changing skin tone. I am lighter in winter, but skin is tanned in the summer. I can also keep it forever and it does not go bad. Being a dry powder, I don't even have to wash my brushes after every use. I like that too.
I only wear BareMinerals powder foundations! I just don’t like anything else. I started with the Original powder foundation but since my skin is naturally too shiny I needed something matte. They then bought out their Ready powder foundation and that was my favourite ever. However they discontinued it and bought out a different ‘improved’ version, BarePro, and it was not as good. Felt a little itchy, slight unpleasant smell, and didn’t layer with concealer. So I switched to the loose Matte powder foundation. I liked that. Very similar to the Ready foundation. Then they discontinued that too! Luckily I still have some left but I wish BareMinerals wouldn’t dump their best products. It’s so annoying. I’m going to try the new Matte tinted moisturiser. I have never liked liquid foundation but maybe I could be won over by a matte tinted moisturiser, we’ll see. I don’t particularly need much coverage. My skin is usually clear it just needs evening out and the shine removed.
oh my goodness that was a lot of work for you! thank you for doing this video! When I can purchase again I would love to try the glowing one and the one that you like! my goodness girl what highlighter are you wearing on your face I don’t know what it is but I have to know what is glowing on your face? beautiful 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for all your work. I’ve been using the original powder bare minerals for 20 years. My skin was oily when I started wearing it and it was amazing. Now I’m in menopause and my skin is dry. The powder formula works beautifully in the summer, but in the winter I need to have more moisture. I’ve tried many foundations but keep coming back to bare minerals. I need to figure out which formula will work for me in winter. What is your skin type?
I have normal to dry skin. Have you tried using a hydrating primer under it? I tend to prefer powder foundations in the summer as well. Thank you for sharing!
Really informative video, which helped me decide which product to buy. I just have one question: Is there a reason you don't apply any of the foundations to your eyelids? So you have covered every part of your face?
The Hydrating stick is my favorite for dry skin. If you put it on with a blender or hands it really blends well into the skin and you kann build up coverage very easily
I was skeptical too of the foundation stick...but after it winning an Allure Best of Beauty Award I knew I had to try it. I find the best way to apply is with a damp Beauty Blender. Looks very natural on u!
That's what I noticed as well with the moisture dry faced ,the oil's didnt shine through after having for hours. I just did a review yesterday and now you popped up,so here you have me.
Hello, I’m 56 with dry skin. I’ve used the complexion rescue and really liked it other than I need a tad more coverage. I like a dewy foundation. I’d like to try the new original. Do you think I’d like it? Thank you. Kim💕
Hi Kim!! I don’t think you get that much more coverage with the new mineral foundation than the Complexion Rescue. If you want more coverage I would go for the Bare Pro. The key is to use a smaller amount and use a hydrating moisturizer or primer underneath. My other suggestion is to use the powder foundation on top of your Complexion Rescue just where you need an little more coverage. Hope this helps!!
@@KZBeautyCoach I like any foundations with natural and minimal ingredients, I’m all for it. Have you tried baked mineral foundation from Ageless Derma? Thank you for responding.
I love the complexion rescue for my aging skin it doesn’t crack or get anything to show wrinkles I wish it were a little more modifying but I don’t know that I really love it and I as well put it directly on my brush and then dab it on my skin in different areas I feel like if I put it on my hands I waste product there
Good review! On the hunt for a foundation. My skin also has dryness in the same areas. The power does me no justice but I do love the Bareminerals products.
Thank you! Another one to look at for dry skin is the newer It cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation. It has been great for my dry skin. The bareminerals new one is good as well.
Been using bare minerals tinted foundation every summer but instead of primer i use it with their complexion rescue defence moisturiser . Great informative video ill give the new luminous foundation a try I like the way it glides .Thank you!
been wearing original for 20 years and wanted to try a different product but didn't want to waste $30+ if I didn't like it, so you were very thorough and helpful and I will try barepro. The only issue I have is that with Covid you cannot try colors in the store and I cannot decide between med, med beige or possibly some other. I don't think they offer color samples or allow exchange or refunds do they?
Thank you! Yes you can return it if it doesn’t work. Always return a bad product. Ulta and Sephora are great about it. I was always hesitant to return but you should always return if it doesn’t work. I hope you find the right shade. I love BarePro. Just make sure to slowly build it up so you don’t apply too much.
Thnx for doing this comprehensive wear test of the various products. Really good thought. I was thinking, it would bave been even more helpful if you had done a half face side by side comparison, and a before & after side by side comparison, only then the finish/coverage can been shown better.
I had a bareminerals person do the rescue plus the stick using the stick for areas that needed more coverage. The two together looked very nice and worked well together!
Thank you so much! I will get better about posting all of those details for future videos. I am actually not too sure what I used for each one. I will look at them again and get back to you!
With the Original powder, you need a few layers to build up coverage and your brush was too large :-). Give it another try with a smaller brush, same style though.
BEST review EVER! This helped me so much thank you for taking the time to share! New subscriber! 👍 And your skin is Beautiful! I think any foundation would look incredible although you don't even need it. 😀
My bare pro is looking patchy and I use the luxe brush moisture rich bare minerals moisturiser, and the prime time primer from bare minerals. I’m 30 and my skin in combination. Love the foundation but before it settles into my skin it seems to sit poorly. How do you use the foundation and have hydrated looking skin ?
Great question! So I always do skin prep with a good moisturizer and then a sunscreen before I put my primer on. Then I use a hydrating primer because my skin can be drier. My trick for Bare Pro is to apply it to one section of your face at a time and use the smallest amount to start and slowly build to your preferred coverage level. Also try to stamp or buff the foundation in instead of using a swiping motion. I hope this helps. You could also add a drop of facial oil to the BarePro to give it a little more hydration power.
They used to make a Bareskin product that I loved and then discontinued it. It was a pure brightening serum. So nice. I’m now trying to find another BM product that I like. Having a hard time finding the proper color. I always get compliments on my complexion when wearing BM and thats even with a rosacea problem too. Hopefully I’ll find the right color one of these days...
I love the Bare Pro liquid and powder. I am combo oily so dewy won't work for me. The original does great in the winter but makes my skin itch in the summer. You have to buff the powder.
That is so interesting that it makes you itch in the summer! I am always amazed when A foundation is so different depending on the season. It can really make a difference.
When I tried it 20 years ago it made my skin itch too!!! I thought I was the only one. 20 years later, I haven’t felt that itch. I did notice it would itch when i would sweat.
Please put what shades you use in your description. A lot of us search by shade we are looking at and I can't tell if you are wearing the same shade as me. I can't go through every video that appears in the search results.
Thank you for this in-depth review of all BM foundations- very helpful! I was a BM original user in the late 90's but with skin changes (aging....sigh), I stopped using because it settled into my lines. But now that they've come out with other options, I'm ready to give them another try. I really like to keep it simple- apply powder with a brush and move on to the blush & eyes. Do you like the matte powder over the original?
The liquid original foundation (so confusing right?) is more hydrating than the stick but surprisingly not by a lot. I was very impressed by the stick foundation.
Great video! You’ve got a new subscriber. I’d love to see a follow up video about your experience with each of these foundations and how they compare now that you’ve got more use out of them. Any tips and tricks would be great, and maybe you could include “this one would be good for people with…” I find those very helpful since I have dry sensitive skin, but from this video it seems like all of these options would be good for me. I love your new videos too, keep up the good work 😁
I have been looking for a really good foundation for awhile, I always tend to buy drug store ones because of the price, but I think I want to splurge and try the original bare minerals..the newest one that you demonstrated, I really love that glowy, pretty, natural look it gives and being older I think its better for me personally....thankyou, I hope ulta has this in store.💗
This was great! They’re having a 25% off event right now and I’m trying to figure out what I should get. I’m intrigued by the stick foundation, but the tinted moisturizer looked really shiny. (I’m not a fan of shine or dewy finishes as I have combination skin so I’m shiny as it is.) anyhoo thank you for the in-depth review!
@@HeatherFonseca I think you will love it. You can really control the amount and it blends beautifully into the skin. Let me know you thoughts once it comes!
@@KZBeautyCoach I got it the other day and tried it out today and the stick foundation is GORGEOUS! I love the finish. It’s quite sheer and a little glowy but in a pretty way, not in a greasy way. Unfortunately the color I ordered is way too light. I think I’ll return and go to Sephora to be color matched.
Nice review! I’m very impressed by this line of makeup. I tried the powder long ago but I definitely wasn’t applying it correctly. I’m thinking of trying it again now. Thanks for being so clear about the pros and cons of each and giving them a full days tryout.
I thought all of them looks very nice on you but the trick with a mineral powder is you have to buff and buff and the more you buff to better it is so it's kind of time-consuming in my opinion I like to finish but I just don't like all the work I have to do to get it to blend in.
@@KZBeautyCoach I really don't care for the effect that the regular powder gives me the bareMinerals I think I'd rather try the mat too much shimmer on dry your skin and older skin is not always a good thing
You didn’t apply the mineral powder foundation correctly. When buffing into the skin you must use circular motions and the more you buff the better the coverage. If you had buffed it in circular motions it would have been glowy like the liquid minerals.
I know this to be fact that baremineral powder foundation. Flat dense Kabuki. The brush that you're using is still too fluffy. I truly love mineral essence makeup compared to bare minerals. They've never advertised or a small makeup company and I adore their makeup. I used to use bareMinerals on our models for many of our jewelry shoots. I can use the makeup itself to contour and chisel a person's face or body. The brush you are using, big no no no. And I always suggest, does eyebrow shavers the little comb looking ones. Very thin Auto razor shaver I don't know what to call them. I always use one of those, before I apply any powder foundation. And or if they have any major peach fuzz all over their face, if you really want to flawless application and to look perfect. Shave that face. And I don't mean dermaplaning. I prefer this razor, because it doesn't affect the skin it does not cause people to get ingrown hairs. It's a quick way to remove hair, to give a nice canvas for your makeup. Now I didn't always use mineral makeup. But on days that I knew we were going to be in hot sunlight, we lived in Florida. Powder foundation was excellent for our models. Never melted off the face. But like I said. Removing that peach fuzz off your face can actually allow more of the mineral makeup to touch your skin. If you truly look in those 10x mirrors and you will see the powder foundation just sits upon your hairs on your face. Remove those. Get a denser brush. When I say flat top I mean flat tight Kabuki. bareMinerals original brush was animal hair. Why? Animal hair grabs more pigment, no matter what, so does your facial hair. It's been so long since I've checked out any bare minerals products besides their powder foundation. This is an awesome review. I kind of feel out of sorts. Going into Ulta they don't have what I want, my sephoras are small. It would take me 3 hours to drive to the nice Sephora. I'm not into a 6-hour trip for makeup. I hate sending products back and forth through mail. Redundant. Oh absolutely always use a setting spray with a powdered product. I used to make my own with glycerin rose water and lavender water. Both of those Waters are so hydrating to the skin, with a touch of glycerin it held the makeup on phenomenally. I once had a makeup artist say go ahead you can just use hairspray. You should have seen my face when I looked at him. Sheer terror and utter disgust. He said geez if looks good kill, I said geez you may kill your client's skin. You should be wary of my eyebrows. 🤔🥴🤨 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅
Thanks for testing out all 5 type of foundations. But for the Original Mineral Foundation, (the Swirl-Tap-Buff) method deliver more product only you Buff in circular motion. I highly recommend pairing loose Mineral foundation with bareMinerals’ Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush.
@@KZBeautyCoach , yes, I use Bobbi Brown Vitamin FaceBase mostly, but under powder foundation i use BareMinerals tinted primer which is like a bb cream..
I like the bare pro on you, however I am shocked you don't prime and conceal upper eyelids and under brow area and under-eye area. once you cover the whole face with this foundation the veins pop out so much more. and are seen through the eyeshadow.( affect the eye shadow). Also when using bare pro, it is not going to be too dry if you apply a daily moisturizer with HA on wet skin. Like cera ve face lotion or that and on top of that few min later an spf that does NOT contain Avobenzone (also knows as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) and that is moisturizing, anti-aging and non-greasy/oily. ( Avene 50spf, EltaMD sheer broad spectrum spf50+, or Cera Ve hydrating mineral sunscreen, or Paula's choice resist youth hydrating SPF 50) - are just few examples). and after all that the primer and the foundation- Especially in the summer. A lot of steps but it is worth it and the sunspots will vanish especially if you use vit C or retinols at night... but again if you do then even more reasons to wear sunscreen to protect from blue light and uva, not just full-on sun exposure. that is not working when combined with minerals like zink or titanium in mineral foundations or mineral powders or spf lotions when re-applying... otherwise, you will end up with say: spf 40 lotion with Avobenzone and mineral powder spf 15 that when combined give you zero UVA protection. BTW YOUR HAIR COLOR IS DA BOMB!!! and wow you don't have much wrinkles. looking goooood! Nice video, thank you for your time and effort to put this together.
@@KZBeautyCoach it was really informative and you have a great video presence I just repurchased bare pro after your video and remember how much i like it. ❤️
BareMinerals loose foundation is a buildable foundation, so light to full cover! If u are going to make a review, make sure to get all info before u do! thanks!
You are using the loose powder foundation wrong! 😑 you need a dense brush and work the foundation in at least 20 min to really work it in. Plus you need to use small amounts and keep adding to get coverage. I use this every day and I have acne prone skin and it looks amazing and covers everything.
Yes I have been told by several that I am using it wrong. I need to do a follow up video with all of your comments so I can truly showcase the correct application. Thank you so much for the advice!!
Thank you for showing all of these foundations. I am going to try the original and the BarePro again!

The only issue I have is that with Covid you cannot try colors in the store and I cannot decide between med, med beige or possibly some other. I don't think they offer color samples or allow exchange or refunds do they?
Thank you! Yes you can return it if it doesn’t work. Always return a bad product. Ulta and Sephora are great about it. I was always hesitant to return but you should always return if it doesn’t work. I hope you find the right shade. I love BarePro. Just make sure to slowly build it up so you don’t apply too much.
this is one of the BEST videos I've seen to date. Well Done KZ!!
Thank you so much!!
This is my first time watching your channel. I have never used BM makeup. This video narrowed it down for me. Thank you !
Welcome!! So glad to have you here!
Thnx for doing this comprehensive wear test of the various products. Really good thought. I was thinking, it would bave been even more helpful if you had done a half face side by side comparison, and a before & after side by side comparison, only then the finish/coverage can been shown better.
I had a bareminerals person do the rescue plus the stick using the stick for areas that needed more coverage. The two together looked very nice and worked well together!
What a great idea!! Thank you for sharing!
Great videos. Thanks. Could you share what you used for them rest of your makeup? The eyes, blush... gorgeous. Your hair color is amazing.
Thank you so much! I will get better about posting all of those details for future videos. I am actually not too sure what I used for each one. I will look at them again and get back to you!
With the Original powder, you need a few layers to build up coverage and your brush was too large :-). Give it another try with a smaller brush, same style though.
Great tips! I need to film a follow up video on just the powder foundation, applying it differently. Thank you!
Hey! Do you think the liquid original fots for drier skin?
BEST review EVER! This helped me so much thank you for taking the time to share! New subscriber! 👍
And your skin is Beautiful! I think any foundation would look incredible although you don't even need it. 😀
This was a helpful video; I had wish I stumbled across this but I am glad I found you and subscribed.
So glad to have you here!
Wow!! Your eyes and coloring are just gorgeous!!
Thank you so much!
I was just trying to decide about purchasing one so this video really was useful. Thanks for doing the work for us🦋
I am so glad that I helped! Thank you for letting me know!
My bare pro is looking patchy and I use the luxe brush moisture rich bare minerals moisturiser, and the prime time primer from bare minerals. I’m 30 and my skin in combination. Love the foundation but before it settles into my skin it seems to sit poorly. How do you use the foundation and have hydrated looking skin ?
Great question! So I always do skin prep with a good moisturizer and then a sunscreen before I put my primer on. Then I use a hydrating primer because my skin can be drier. My trick for Bare Pro is to apply it to one section of your face at a time and use the smallest amount to start and slowly build to your preferred coverage level. Also try to stamp or buff the foundation in instead of using a swiping motion. I hope this helps. You could also add a drop of facial oil to the BarePro to give it a little more hydration power.
Really want to try the original liquid but shade matching is awful online. I’m tan or dine in the gel and stick if anyone can help x
They used to make a Bareskin product that I loved and then discontinued it. It was a pure brightening serum. So nice. I’m now trying to find another BM product that I like. Having a hard time finding the proper color. I always get compliments on my complexion when wearing BM and thats even with a rosacea problem too. Hopefully I’ll find the right color one of these days...
That sounds like a great product! Wish they would bring it back! I love many products from the Bareskin line.
This is a very detailed review! Thank you so much for sharing, it really helps me for my buying decision💕🥰
You are so welcome! I am glad that it was helpful to you!
I love the Bare Pro liquid and powder. I am combo oily so dewy won't work for me. The original does great in the winter but makes my skin itch in the summer. You have to buff the powder.
That is so interesting that it makes you itch in the summer! I am always amazed when A foundation is so different depending on the season. It can really make a difference.
When I tried it 20 years ago it made my skin itch too!!! I thought I was the only one. 20 years later, I haven’t felt that itch.
I did notice it would itch when i would sweat.
Please put what shades you use in your description. A lot of us search by shade we are looking at and I can't tell if you are wearing the same shade as me. I can't go through every video that appears in the search results.
I haven't wore this in years,but loved it.
Thank you for this in-depth review of all BM foundations- very helpful! I was a BM original user in the late 90's but with skin changes (aging....sigh), I stopped using because it settled into my lines. But now that they've come out with other options, I'm ready to give them another try. I really like to keep it simple- apply powder with a brush and move on to the blush & eyes. Do you like the matte powder over the original?
I think the matte powder is my favorite but it should be used sparingly so it won’t sink into any wrinkles. I totally understand the aging struggle!!
Wow thank you for making this vid! So informative. Did you find the new original foundation to be more hydrating than the stick foundation?
Did you mean the original powder foundation or the new original liquid foundation?
@@KZBeautyCoachsorry, i meant the original liquid foundation
The liquid original foundation (so confusing right?) is more hydrating than the stick but surprisingly not by a lot. I was very impressed by the stick foundation.
@@KZBeautyCoach thank you!!
The sample of BarePro liquid which I tried, tended to accentuate fine wrinkles, I thought, on me, anyway. Maybe getting the right shade would help.
Yes the right shade is much better. Also make sure you use the smallest amount and buff it in. It will last but not accentuate fine lines.
Great video! You’ve got a new subscriber. I’d love to see a follow up video about your experience with each of these foundations and how they compare now that you’ve got more use out of them. Any tips and tricks would be great, and maybe you could include “this one would be good for people with…” I find those very helpful since I have dry sensitive skin, but from this video it seems like all of these options would be good for me. I love your new videos too, keep up the good work 😁
So glad to have you here! That is a great idea! I will plan that follow up video! I am planning a powder only Bareminerals video soon.
I have been looking for a really good foundation for awhile, I always tend to buy drug store ones because of the price, but I think I want to splurge and try the original bare minerals..the newest one that you demonstrated, I really love that glowy, pretty, natural look it gives and being older I think its better for me personally....thankyou, I hope ulta has this in store.💗
So glad it was helpful! That foundation is really nice. I love the drugstore foundations also!
This was great! They’re having a 25% off event right now and I’m trying to figure out what I should get. I’m intrigued by the stick foundation, but the tinted moisturizer looked really shiny. (I’m not a fan of shine or dewy finishes as I have combination skin so I’m shiny as it is.) anyhoo thank you for the in-depth review!
You’re welcome! Great time to try one of these foundations when you can get 25% off!
@@KZBeautyCoach I got the stick! I’ve been looking for one for travel 😊
@@HeatherFonseca I think you will love it. You can really control the amount and it blends beautifully into the skin. Let me know you thoughts once it comes!
@@KZBeautyCoach I got it the other day and tried it out today and the stick foundation is GORGEOUS! I love the finish. It’s quite sheer and a little glowy but in a pretty way, not in a greasy way. Unfortunately the color I ordered is way too light. I think I’ll return and go to Sephora to be color matched.
Nice review! I’m very impressed by this line of makeup. I tried the powder long ago but I definitely wasn’t applying it correctly. I’m thinking of trying it again now.
Thanks for being so clear about the pros and cons of each and giving them a full days tryout.
Thank you! I really enjoy the Bareminerals products. I think their foundations are really great.
Thanks so much, it's great review 🤩🤩😍😍😍
Thank you, vey informative! Great job
I thought all of them looks very nice on you but the trick with a mineral powder is you have to buff and buff and the more you buff to better it is so it's kind of time-consuming in my opinion I like to finish but I just don't like all the work I have to do to get it to blend in.
I definitely need to work on my technique with the powder foundation. But I agree it is a lot of work!
@@KZBeautyCoach I really don't care for the effect that the regular powder gives me the bareMinerals I think I'd rather try the mat too much shimmer on dry your skin and older skin is not always a good thing
You didn’t apply the mineral powder foundation correctly. When buffing into the skin you must use circular motions and the more you buff the better the coverage. If you had buffed it in circular motions it would have been glowy like the liquid minerals.
Hello! What shade did you get in the stick foundation?
I am using Vanilla. Thank you!
what colour are you using in the tinted moisturiser gel thqnks
I am using Vanilla. Thanks!
@@KZBeautyCoach thanks for replying
Great reviews. Thank you 😊
I know this to be fact that baremineral powder foundation. Flat dense Kabuki. The brush that you're using is still too fluffy. I truly love mineral essence makeup compared to bare minerals. They've never advertised or a small makeup company and I adore their makeup.
I used to use bareMinerals on our models for many of our jewelry shoots. I can use the makeup itself to contour and chisel a person's face or body. The brush you are using, big no no no. And I always suggest, does eyebrow shavers the little comb looking ones. Very thin Auto razor shaver I don't know what to call them. I always use one of those, before I apply any powder foundation. And or if they have any major peach fuzz all over their face, if you really want to flawless application and to look perfect. Shave that face. And I don't mean dermaplaning. I prefer this razor, because it doesn't affect the skin it does not cause people to get ingrown hairs. It's a quick way to remove hair, to give a nice canvas for your makeup. Now I didn't always use mineral makeup. But on days that I knew we were going to be in hot sunlight, we lived in Florida. Powder foundation was excellent for our models. Never melted off the face. But like I said. Removing that peach fuzz off your face can actually allow more of the mineral makeup to touch your skin. If you truly look in those 10x mirrors and you will see the powder foundation just sits upon your hairs on your face. Remove those. Get a denser brush. When I say flat top I mean flat tight Kabuki. bareMinerals original brush was animal hair. Why? Animal hair grabs more pigment, no matter what, so does your facial hair. It's been so long since I've checked out any bare minerals products besides their powder foundation. This is an awesome review.
I kind of feel out of sorts. Going into Ulta they don't have what I want, my sephoras are small. It would take me 3 hours to drive to the nice Sephora. I'm not into a 6-hour trip for makeup. I hate sending products back and forth through mail. Redundant.
Oh absolutely always use a setting spray with a powdered product. I used to make my own with glycerin rose water and lavender water. Both of those Waters are so hydrating to the skin, with a touch of glycerin it held the makeup on phenomenally. I once had a makeup artist say go ahead you can just use hairspray. You should have seen my face when I looked at him. Sheer terror and utter disgust. He said geez if looks good kill, I said geez you may kill your client's skin. You should be wary of my eyebrows. 🤔🥴🤨 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅
Great tips on how to apply the mineral foundation!! I will definitely be trying these!! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
❤ thank you for sharing all the info xxxxx
Coverage depends on the brush you use.
So true! I am going to do a redo on the powder foundation with a better brush soon!
Thanks for testing out all 5 type of foundations. But for the Original Mineral Foundation, (the Swirl-Tap-Buff) method deliver more product only you Buff in circular motion. I highly recommend pairing loose Mineral foundation with bareMinerals’ Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush.
Thank you for the tips! I am going to film a do over with the Original Mineral Powder foundation soon!
I’ve never seen someone with the same skin color , eyes and natural strawberry blonde hair color as me. ❤️ hi sista
Really informative. Only you're final blush is too heavy
Did you use thePrime Time for all the foundations? I'm a primer junkie 😨😶
Yes I did. It is a nice basic primer. Do you have a favorite primer?
@@KZBeautyCoach , yes, I use Bobbi Brown Vitamin FaceBase mostly, but under powder foundation i use BareMinerals tinted primer which is like a bb cream..
I like the bare pro on you, however I am shocked you don't prime and conceal upper eyelids and under brow area and under-eye area. once you cover the whole face with this foundation the veins pop out so much more. and are seen through the eyeshadow.( affect the eye shadow).
Also when using bare pro, it is not going to be too dry if you apply a daily moisturizer with HA on wet skin. Like cera ve face lotion or that and on top of that few min later an spf that does NOT contain Avobenzone (also knows as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) and that is moisturizing, anti-aging and non-greasy/oily. ( Avene 50spf, EltaMD sheer broad spectrum spf50+, or Cera Ve hydrating mineral sunscreen, or Paula's choice resist youth hydrating SPF 50) - are just few examples). and after all that the primer and the foundation- Especially in the summer. A lot of steps but it is worth it and the sunspots will vanish especially if you use vit C or retinols at night... but again if you do then even more reasons to wear sunscreen to protect from blue light and uva, not just full-on sun exposure.
that is not working when combined with minerals like zink or titanium in mineral foundations or mineral powders or spf lotions when re-applying...
otherwise, you will end up with say: spf 40 lotion with Avobenzone and mineral powder spf 15 that when combined give you zero UVA protection.
BTW YOUR HAIR COLOR IS DA BOMB!!! and wow you don't have much wrinkles. looking goooood!
Nice video, thank you for your time and effort to put this together.
Great information! Thank you!
Why is a primer necessary?
Great video thank u
Great video ❤️❤️
Glad you liked it!!
@@KZBeautyCoach it was really informative and you have a great video presence I just repurchased bare pro after your video and remember how much i like it. ❤️
BareMinerals loose foundation is a buildable foundation, so light to full cover! If u are going to make a review, make sure to get all info before u do! thanks!
You are using the loose powder foundation wrong! 😑 you need a dense brush and work the foundation in at least 20 min to really work it in. Plus you need to use small amounts and keep adding to get coverage. I use this every day and I have acne prone skin and it looks amazing and covers everything.
Yes I have been told by several that I am using it wrong. I need to do a follow up video with all of your comments so I can truly showcase the correct application. Thank you so much for the advice!!
20 minutes or 2 minutes?
You have to shake this first foundation you put on. it is meant to be shook
Great point!! Thank you.
@@KZBeautyCoach each use it needs a good shake. I would give that a try and then see if you like it.
You need to swirl for 1 minute according to the experts.
Your title should be "5 of..." rather than "All 5..." because there's also Bare Pro Powder foundation, and it's really good.
Cant believe that loose shade is called medium. You are def not a medium! Their shades are wonky.🤪
