You definitely need to use much less foundation and buff in REALLY well and build in super thin layers. And keep buffing it, almost to the point where you feel like you've buffed too much.
You really have to buff it in much more aggressively than you do. Also you have to really swirl it in the lid (into your brush) to warm up the powder. I think you’d love it then.
Gail Pennycook agree! Primer and swirl it in the cap. Any tutorial I’ve watched using powder foundation the people that live it use a primer and say really BUFF it in aggressively. Also a Tinkle razor would help, Cassie. All your makeup will apply and look better and your skincare will work more effectively. It’s worth it.
Marge Burkell Cassie has stated previously, literally in this video that she doesn’t want to shave her face. It’s all personal preference, (and she prefers not to) so she should be able to find products that fit her wants.
@@mercilessmaiden383 But you can't blame a product for not working when you're not doing all that you can to make the product work, including waxing/shaving your mustache (and properly using the product would help too)...
She really shouldn't buff it in aggressively because it will irritate her skin, especially with her blemishes at the moment. It's actually total crap that bare minerals tries to market itself to people with sensitive and mature skin when the only way to have it not look terrible is to use a technique that will absolutely exacerbate the conditions associated with those skin types (rosacea, dry patches, acne, etc.).
Lauren Murphy I get that but make up isn’t that deep. I’m not gonna shave my face to make it flawless, it isn’t worth it. I get where she’s coming from and body hair is a personal choice. She’s chosen to not mind it, so let her not mind it lol
It may not be your deal. I used bareMinerals exclusively when I lived in MN. I had very pimply and volcano zits and their prime time and original powder. I sweat like a construction worker. I tap a very tiny amount into the cap, then swirl the powder into the brush for a long time. I build two or three layers, but buff and swirl for a very long time. if I don’t, cake city. I use Mineral Veil, which is my miracle that I can use to set it, and deal with shiny sweaty moments. Using a setting spray might help remove the transfer notice. I am so sorry it sucked for you. If you are interested, Shelby Wilson used to work for the company and her TH-cam channel has dozens of powder foundation tips. I would love to know what mascara you use, or how you pick them. They always smudge and clump. Boo! I need help!
Not trying to be mean, but you are missing out when it comes to shaving your face with a facial razor. I started doing it a year ago and I haven’t regretted it once! If you are worried about hair coming in thicker, it won’t. You will be the only one that notices that it is coming back based on feel. It takes a minute to do, so it isn’t like it is a lot of extra time. Plus, it makes your makeup gone on so much differently, in your favor. Lastly, it helps gently remove dry skin. I would pay good money to watch you shave your face with a facial razor... just saying.....
Call me crazy but I just didn’t think the shade match was that horrible, yes it was a shade dark but not nearly as bad as you thought! But I do agree with the other people about you needing to really buff in this foundation a lot more than you did! Buff buff buff!!!
Alisha Davis i liked the shade she chose better than the ghostly white shades she usually chooses. i think raw beauty kristi also uses a shade a darker for foundation to avoid that overly white cast.
The big thing with any bare minerals foundations is that you HAVE to use their primer and their mineral veil. If you don’t set the foundation with their veil powder (which I know seems weird to set a powder with more powder), then you’re going to notice a lot more oil breakthrough. The veil is meant to blur pores and lock in the foundation, since the foundation turns to a cream when you’re blending it in with the brush. I personally like this foundation, along with their pressed foundation, but it’s definitely up the buyer to decide if the extra steps are worth it. I personally buy the extras on amazon for a very discounted price lol
It’s definitely one of those foundations that has a learning curve!! Definitely one you gotta go in with a kabuki brush(I use a 6 dollar Elf one) and you swirl it in the lid after you’ve tapped some out for at least 45 seconds to a minute, and then go in with circular motions on your face and just buff the crap out of it!!! It becomes creamy then and will look flawless!!! It definitely takes a lot of buffing lol. I think it looks really pretty on you 😍😍😍
You should watch some bare mineral foundation routines, as all the comments say you have to buff it in more, also, you set it with a powder, because it melts into your face and turns into a cream
I could not agree more. Less is more with Bare Minerals and you really need to buff it well and then buff it some more. Shelbey Wilson's videos are amazing for learning to apply it correctly.
Bare Minerals is sort of special. Their products probably work best with each other, so bare minerals primer, bare minerals brushes, and the bare minerals technique, because there definitely is a technique that really works best for their products.
I know this is random but I just want to say thank you for never changing your background music it's so peaceful and brings me memories to when I was high school learning how to put makeup on in the summer 😌
Hi Cassie, I would urge you to retry this foundation again but this time using the Bareminerals foundation brush and the swirl, tap buff technique. I do use this, it is one of only 2 foundation brandsI will use as generally I favour tinted moisturisers. The shades are very forgiving when buffed correctly into skin, I have to admit you scared me with the amount of product you used lol a little goes a very long way and when buffed in, because it is minerals and not powder, it melds with your natural oils and gives a beautiful light weight coverage. I am kicking the ass off 50 and my skin looks flawless when using this, I also love their bronzer. Please give it another go, if you can see my profile pic this is the foundation and bronzer I am wearing in this pic x love your content, keeping doing what you're doing x big hugs ❤❤🤘🤘x
I totally agree! Ive used the original Bare minerals for years... always use their brush... definitely a learning curve to this foundation.. a light dusting of the mineral veil would help with the oil oiliness
I absolutely love this foundation, it does not aggravate my acne at all. I've repurchased it 3 times so far. However, it does need buffing to work so I can see how it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. Also, for me personally, could do with lighter shades
HOPE YOU SEE THIS!!! :) Howdy Cassie! :) Hope you're doing well! I think the 1st shade looks GREAT on you!!!! Very pretty and smooth finish!! It's very true when others say, you need very little. At least start with a little and work your way up. I used bare minerals powder foundations when it first came out and I hated it!, UNTIL, I played with it and figured it out... The second shade was also good. You mentioned your mustache being more noticeable with the second shade and the crazy thing I noticed was that I couldn't not see your mustache with the first "darker shade" ( that looked great BTW!) but noticed it MORE with the lighter shade! Totally respect your decision to not shave it or get rid of it. However, you can always BLEACH it! That's an option too....The bleaching kits are easy to use and are semi permanent. I am quite tan and my mustache is dark, and bleaching it has always worked without having to shave it! The hairs become invisible! I love your vids, keep'em coming!! You're awesome! I hope you have a great week! :>
cassie is there a way you can adjust the hue of your video in editing ? i notice, especially when you film with your ring-light setting, that the video is extremely cool toned. And so it's harder to tell the true color of things ya know ? edit: oop when you adjusted the brightness @ 5:30, so much better! so kind of nevermind lol
Is there a reason that you won’t shave or wax your mustache? I have to shave basically my entire face. It helps your foundation look flawless! Love you Cassie ♥️
@@justme-on7bn that's a total myth/bullshit... if you shave your mustache or any body hair it FEELS thicker because your hair is being cut at a rough/blunt angle instead of the thin-to-full taper of a natural hair. Think about it, when guys shave their head, does it grow back fuller or thicker? Nope. Shaving won't give you more hairs either because shaving doesn't give you more hair follicles (which is what you need to produce MORE hair) . Science/human biology simple doesn't work like that. Try threading if you want your hairs to grow back without that blunt cut that makes it feel fuller and thicker.
i used to LIVE in the original bare minerals foundation when i had bad cystic acne, and it did amazing things for my skin. you’re totally making me miss it now!
I find that a fluffy brush, swirled into the powder in the lid, then tap off the excess, & then buff, buff, buff & I have the most beautiful coverage & my skin looks amazeballs! A flat kabuki brush does not seen to do this foundation justice.
First, it ALWAYS works best with their primer, which is very popular even to those not wearing mineral powder foundation. Secondly, let it set on your face and mix with your oils, then blot and add their finishing powder. Spray a setting spray and the transfer is fixed. Sometimes it might be a good idea to research how others make it work. I add the foundation to my moisturizer after using their primer and it last all day and no transfer when I use the finishing power I my t zone and setting spray. In fact, it looks better as the day goes by. Maybe watch some other videos on how others have gotten good results. Your primer is not going to work well with this type of foundation. I wear this makeup hiking in the Summer in very humid Florida and it stays put. Even when put over sunscreen. Try their primer, it's AMAZING even with your other foundations.
I recommend trying it with the Bare Minerals kabuki brush! The one you used is a bit too dense, in my opinion. You also need to have very moisturized skin before applying. Also, try the bare minerals primer! It's meant specifically to go under their powder foundations, but it also works great under other foundations, liquid included. As for the shade range, I've always had to mix two shades together, fair and fairly light. To remedy the transfer situation, I suggest trying the mineral veil to set everything.
Hey, gorgeous...we have similar skin (at least, when I was the same age as you...I'm more combo now, but humid climate...not too different.) I also have skin-attacking issues and some pore/acne fun. For background. Living in Florida, BareMinerals' original is still my go-to...but it takes help. You do have to do that swirl, tap, blah blah nonsense, and be wary about piling it on at once. It's *thin* layers, just as many as you need. Coloring is tricky AF...mildly darker isn't awful in summer, and the warmth helps to disguise redness (I'm neutral and still wear Light). Their primer is okay, but my secret assist is a zinc/titanium dioxide sunscreen...when that stuff dries, it minimizes pores and holds the stuff on like whoa. I typically skip primer aside from the sunscreen for that reason with this stuff. Those minerals work with the minerals in the foundation. 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe there's something in there you can try to help, even with other mineral foundations. It makes mine manageable and more graceful as it wears, with easy touch-ups. (That mineral veil spf25, tho!) Good luck, you look lovely!
@@isabeldelong9577 I'm currently using EltaMD UV Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 44, but I used to use one Coola made for a Korean company, Hang 10, at Walmart (discontinued) so maybe a mineral kids one from Coola would be similar.
I would love to see you try this again. I love the original, though I've not tried the blemish one. Like many have said, bare minerals foundation needs to be buffed a TON. You also don't need so much product. Start small and build only where you need it. Less is more. Hopefully that helps with some of the heaviness and transferring. The original is actually my favorite foundation for days where I expect more sweat and oils!
Try the original formula. The shade range is wonderful. Along with their primer and finishing powder, there's a reason they're still one of the most sold foundations.
I think this is one of the foundations I’ve seen you try of that hasn’t fallen off or separated ...easy to apply n the coverage looks good. I think it worked better with no primer. 🤩
You don’t need to give us a close up, and a blow by blow description of each of your blemishes. The reviews are great without that unnecessary detail, thanks for the videos they are really useful, the foundation looked good 👍
Disagree about the close ups. That's why I love her reviews. Do we need a "blow by blow" description of each blemish? NO! You're definitely spot on about that.
Hi Cassie. You skin and pores looked amazing They key to BM is thin layers buffed in well and setting with their mineral veil. I think the mineral veil would be the perfect addition to help set and control for you. Oh and btw, I enjoy your new format.
I suggest watching some tutorials on BM then a redo of this review. I’ve fallen in love with BM recently. It looks like I’m not wearing foundation just healthy even skin. Small amount ( like a sprinkle of cinnamon on a latte) swirl, swirl, swirl, tap, buff,buff, buff and buff... then repeat till coverage wanted is achieved. You can then take a concealer brush with a bit more and tap onto blemishes to completely hide
Congratulations for not picking Cassie. I don’t have dermo but I pick my pimples and I can’t leave them alone so I can’t imagine how hard it is for you. You should be proud of your self. I love your videos.
Start only buying your foundations in-person so you can test the color, so you don't have to get the wrong color anymore. I know it's more convenient to buy online, but maybe just get foundations in-person.
Hi, Cassie! Sorry to bother you in your comments section, but I got a notice from USPS saying I need to reschedule delivery to your address if you don’t pick up your package at the post office by July 27th!! I hope you get your present :) otherwise, I don’t think I can afford to resend it again. Sorry for the trouble!!
Wendy T It’s cool, I just would hate for Cassie to miss receiving my package! Stuff happens and I’m sure her PO Box isn’t directly next door to her house either. 🤗 I just hope she gets it before it gets returned to me. 👍
Try the color 1N. I found that shade is neutral, non-orange and works well when wiped on with a sponge and then buffed in with a brush like ThaTaylaa does. Concealer goes underneath the powder! Flawless looking!
It’s so funny that you posted this today because as I was watching your elf pore putty review, I was thinking that you need bare minerals! Yay!! Keep using it. Don’t give up on it! Get the right brush and use less, buff more and layer if you need to. You’ll love it!
@@thriftthick I had to stop the curology, at first it was fine, then its made my face dry and terrribly itchy, then I broke out like crazy..Im 51 and never had pimples like I did with this product. Must be something in it I just cant use, since Ive stopped , my face has cleared up, still very dry, but pimples are almost gone.
Not sure what camera you use but it may be helpful to set your white balance when doing foundation videos so it doesn’t auto correct and change color temperature on you throughout filming
I used to exclusively wear Bare Minerals (the original), but branched out a few years ago looking for a change. I always really liked it (you do need to use a light hand and *really* buff) and strangers would stop me to say I had "beautiful skin" which is always better than "I love your makeup", lol. But this one did intrigue me 💜 (their shades seemed to be a lot better and more accurate for the original tho, I wore fair to fairly-light in that one). Also, their mineral veil really helped cut down on the oil slick that occurs for us oily skinned gals, I always found that using a primer was a bad idea, and believe it or not, weirdly their brush worked so much better than any other I'd tried
To be fair, wrong brush, wrong technique. I'm sure the women at Sephora would have helped you with that. The first (and last days without primer) day you looked AWESOME at the end of the day, after you used your blotting sheets, your skin was even-toned (albeit the wrong shade) and lovely. BTW, I've used BE - Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals for many years and never had issues with it transferring. I've LOVED this makeup! I hope you'll give it another shot. It's so harmless, you can SLEEP in it, it's actually good for your skin. *Edited to add, I've read below people encouraging you to buff it in aggressively, I've never done that either, the brushes are soft, and if you buff gently, yet thoroughly, it will perform well. No need at all to chew your face off with it, I promise!
Hi, I just wanted to say that I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to shave your upper lip, I always said I never would either. I thought it would make the hair grow back thicker but I was wrong. I have been using Schlick silk touch up facial razors. Oh my goodness it has made such a difference with how my makeup looks! And there’s also a cover that comes with them that I use on my eyebrows. Just something to think about. I love your videos and you are a beautiful person 💕
Did it help heal your acne? Maybe try the other BM foundations. Try an “Original” kit & a matte kit. And try a suitable face primer of BM too. Could never hurt to give it a try.💗
She used a ton. You can tell at the end of the day shots. It’s like caked on and mixed with her oils. I have never used that much. Like where you can see the pores. I was scared
Hey my love (sorry if you have answered this in another video or live video and I just missed it) what type of skincare do you use? It's VERY normal for some people to be more oily than others, but usually if there is a REALLY excessive amount of oil something is usually going on there. It usually means that your skin is actually VERY dehydrated. Its always a vicious cycle with oily skin and hair because people think that because their skin is oily, they need to stop using oils and heavy moisturizers on their skin which in turn makes their skin even more oily. Another comparison is oily hair. My husband gets VERY oily hair. He will wash his hair in the morning and by that evening it looks like it has not been washed in over a week, he also was getting dandruff with it and so he asked me how that was possible. I explained that it is because the skin on his scalp is actually dehydrated and the more he washes his hair the more he is stripping the oils he actually needs. I told him to start training his scalp to getting used to not be washed as often. He started off only washing his hair every other day and then every 3rd day. Then I also had him incorporate a moisturizing all natural shampoo without sulfates. Sure enough, by the second week his scalp was a thousand times better. It will get worse for a few days as your skin is confused and over produces oil, but eventually it will even out. Sorry if you have already tried this, but I just thought I would mention it ;-). You will still more than likely be oily as that is just the nature of your skin, but I bet if you slowly incorporate the proper moisture through oils (yes, the dreaded oils) and proper moisturizers that it will DEF get better and not be so severe ;-).
I love that color on you!!!! It’s not that bad, the more u buff the better it gets!! I love this stuff since I can’t stand liquid foundation, this bm works for me and looks fantastic on you!!
@Christina Williams oh I didnt know she had addressed it before. It wont make it grow back darker though it just cuts hairs at the shaft that have already kind of tapered due to contact with external factors. I have PCOS and so my facial hair is a big problem and making sure I shave it off has helped so much with how my makeup applies and has really boosted my self-confidence.
Christina Williams just wanted to let you know this is a total myth! Shaving does not & cannot cause your hair to grow back darker or thicker. It is scientifically proven that this is incorrect. I thought this too for a long time but I learned in nursing school there is no way for this to happen! ❤️❤️
Little question: Could you do a roomtour or apartment tour before you move and pack everything away? You did something like that a while back and it was so nice to see something like that from you. Or when you are in your new place maybe? Of course you dont have to if you dont want, thats for sure. Lots of love from germany! 🥰🤗
Aye girl! BM veteran here, try using their own powder foundation brush. The tarte powder brush stinks compared to the BM brush. Also try using the mineral veil for the oil. Use the BM primer!! If you don't like the color, try the matte version (more shades and it’s kinda similar). The foundation looks amazing on you though. Remember less is more.
I find powder foundation work best with a more flexible brush that you can "swirl" and it also works better in lighter layers buffed it. When you put so much on with such a dense brush it is just too cakey.
I love the way Bare Minerals looks, especially in photos but I just couldn’t fit ALL that buffing into my everyday 10 morning routine. I only wear it on the weekends and special occasions now.
I think this foundation actually looked really good on your skin. It looks really smooth. The key to using it is to REALLY buff it in and set it. I used to use BM all the time and the Mineral Veil is super helpful with keeping it in place. Also, it works better without primer!
Do you wear contacts when you apply your makeup? I think that may be the reason it could be patchy sometimes? Just a suggestion! I just don’t think you can see it 😉
I wanted to add.. Idk if you're still using Curology. But I think your skin is looking better. It took me about 3 months to adjust (peeling, redness, dryness). I put aquaphor on my really bad spots of dry patches at night (as a last step). It heals pimple scabbing very quickly. I would apply the usual pea sized amount (of Tretinoin) all over. And dab a tiny amount on my acne. Then put on the cerave night cream (heavy duty emollient cream) and put a thick layer of aquaphor over any open areas. It really does work. I just wanted to say I do see some improvement! But you're such a pretty girl. ❤👋
That blemish line by bare minerals is at marshalls and tj maxx all the time. That powder is like $7.99 or $9.99 bc I bought it. There's a few other things like concealer and such too.
eloeber1 Same! I bought this exact foundation like 3 months ago at TJ Maxx for $8. The shade was dark for me then, so I need to try it now that it is summer and I am tanner.
Cassie, you need to use less and buff, buff, buff. This powder foundation requires it. Tap powder is the lid and swirl the brush into the powder to warm it up. Then buff away! Light layers will give you the best result! Update us if you practice and get better at it. And yes, this foundation will give you a smooth complexion. 💗
I think you need to do better research on how to apply the products you test before you film a review. The majority of your foundation reviews you seem to not like & I think your application is never proper & that’s why you don’t like it. And that’s not fair 😑
@@seraann4158 dont watch her then. Products should not be that difficult to apply. And everyone does makeup differently. There shouldn't be a right or wrong way to apply something
Ok, I’ve been watching Cassie on and off and back on for a couple years..and I would THINK, she’s nowhere near this clueless on shade matches and applications and the infamous primer that seems to NOT work for her. Aaand, much more. I’m sorry to say, but I think this is done on purpose to gain interaction to get more monetary gain for her videos. I’ve seen many videos how money is REALLY made and a video with 30,000 can get more pay day than a video with 100,000 views ..because of the videos interaction. I hate assuming but, common..how many videos and comments and subscribers later and she’s still not getting it? It’s whatever, honestly a lot of TH-cam is s hustle, but seeing all the caring comments go ignored over and over..it’s sad.
You are supposed to buff it into your skin which will probably look a lot better , you should really buff buff then it will look better ! I really like it on you not the colour which we all know is wrong but if you get the right shade I think it will be good ! It’s supposed to be used without primer and a straight buff , here in the uk we have bare minerals but it comes with a brush in fact I have a pot I use occasionally I love it !but it’s absorbency is amazing ! Cassie you sound very critical on everything are you unwell x
The biggest problem ..listen closely .."I worry that people think I think I'm wearing the right shade foundation " ...Worrying what anyone thinks about HER shade of foundation is her first problem ...the next is that the better she looks the more critical she is of the makeup she's reviewing ...seen her do this for a long time now ..its really bad . She hasn't looked better in any foundation shes tested this year ..and she hates it ..just odd
You looked better in that foundation than any other you have ever used ...I think your vision may be an issue ..and as far as the "moustache" situation ...you aren't supposed to have one so using that in your "review" was a bad idea ...at best .
Can you please try the Elisabeth Mott, thank me later eye primer and face primer. They say it’s good for oily skin and eyelids. You should do an updated video of your regular daily makeup. I would love to see that. 🤗
Love your beautifully transparant reviews and warm friendly personality.Heve you ever tried Jane Iredale presssed powder foundation . If you use their reccomended flocked sponge, I find you get great natural looking coverage.
Cassie your skin has never looked better close up! This was the most natural looking foundation I've ever seen on your skin. I couldnt even tell it was a wrong shade.
Tata Kavlash, Finally I found someone who sees this the same way as me! I think it looked sooo beautiful on Cassie - including the slightly too dark shade! I use mineral foundation all the time (not BM, though) and have noticed that it's better to err on the darker side than too light with it. And also it's super important to find suitable moisturizers under it. And primer!
@@sari5494 Totally agree! I use mineral foundation too and I think it blends in with the natural oils and looks better as the day goes on versus liquid foundations just separate on oily skin and look cakey! You need a very good moisturizer underneath and the primer that works best for me is Becca backlight priming filter but it might be different for her skin.
I have the Blemish Rescue and I’ve found it difficult to buff in. I don’t think it works like the original. What I have found is that it gets more beautiful as it wears on my face. So I apply it like a powder, use setting spray, and an hour later it’s very pretty on. But not right away. Also I don’t think it has quite the same coverage as you get from the original. I’d almost cal it no coverage except for the way my skin looks as it wears throughout the day.
I don't understand why you didn't pair this with the Bareminerals primer. Also you are not applying the foundation correctly. Try watching some tutorials on applying Bareminerals products. I think you will be happier with it. I think this foundation really looks good on you
Cassie, it’d be awesome if you can test more makeup products that helps blemishes, that way you can keep up with reviews, while potentially helping your skin
So i actually had to go 1-2 shades darker than I usually go for this foundation. I actually really like this foundation! At first it made me so oily though. I ended up using the elf tone adjusting face primer after I moisturize and before applying. You also have to go little by little, swirl it in the cap and buff it on. Now it’s my fav foundation lol and definitely don’t get as oily
I actually like this one, and that's because it works with my MINERAL sunscreens. It looks like I used a medium coverage liquid foundation in one pass plus its longwearing. Liquid foundations for oily skin that are long wearing tend to look pretty bad on top of mineral sunscreen. Also mineral sunscreens can be mega mattifying, so you get oil control that way. I pair it with a medium to full coverage concealer that is longwearing underneath over scars and under the eyes, set all of that with a light layer of translucent powder (Loreal pro sweep and lock), and then I put a light layer of this powder foundation on top with a large, tapered, soft brush (the large powder brush from the Powder Bleu line from real techniques. I think its B01). When I go to work I switch to a chemical sunscreen and long wearing liquid foundation, but when Im not working I use mineral sunscreen with a powder foundation, and this one has crazy coverage and looks nice. Is it perfection? No. But its pretty good! And it doesn't break me out. I will probably repurchase actually.
I always use urban decay vitamin primer spray before. Let it dry completely. Then after buffing it in, I use all nighter from urban decay to melt it in and make it more skin like. Also less is more. I never use a liquid concealer with it. (They do have a powder concealer) just some tips to think about trying.
You can definitely use a primer. Idk what moisturizer you use but hopefully it’s oil free, then use the Elf tone adjusting primer omg it’s the perfect combo for this foundation
Did you set it? It’s a cream foundation! Just because it’s powder in original form it doesn’t end up that way on contact. You need to set it 100% would you not powder any other foundation? This is a damn good foundation. Try their mineral veil. Lol you have to buff it in. They are minerals. The original foundation has a large range. This is a limited range and not easy to find. I would not judge their loose minerals based on this product. Research their product line first before making a final decision expecially on a brand that has been around a very long time
A little goes a long way! If you slowly layer little by little....it would be look and last so long without the oil. Also using the bare minerals primer works well as well as the mineral veil
I really loved your video! It was nice seeing someone with oily skin and blemishes tryna foundation. It’s rare for me to be able to find people with oily skin for some reason. Just bought this foundation I think I might like it. Love you girl
I epilate my chin and tweeze my mustache area. I’m glutton for punishment I guess. It does hurt like a b*t*h but I refuse to have chin hair and a mustache. I’ve gotten used to the pain. My skin is very very fair and the hair is SO noticeable to me. Love my emjoi epilator, I use it once, sometimes twice, a week.... would love to be able to get laser hair removal but that isn’t possible with our budget. Hopefully someday, someday that will be possible.
Sometimes I use the original bare minerals and while the coverage is good, it does break down on me by the end of the day and I don’t even have oily skin. It’s still a nice foundation though, like it looks good on your skin, just doesn’t last very long. But, bare minerals used to have a pressed powder foundation called Ready and it was the BEST I’ve ever used. Full coverage, and it didn’t break down, not even when I was out sweating on a hot humid day. They discontinued it which really really sucks. I feel like maybe you’d like it. Btw, love your foundation videos! 😊
I love love your channel - I come to it to see honest reviews for foundations on blemish prone skin! Sick of seeing 'influncers' recommend foundation when they have poreless, acne free skin. They are no help! Keep up the good work 😘
Seriously, it's GREAT foundation, and if you applied it as B.M. instructs you to, I think you'd really like it. It worked better without a primer, or perhaps you'd be willing to try the Bare Minerals primer? You really need their brushes too, and it will build up to full coverage, but when you've applied it so heavily out of the gate... you just can't really give it a fair shake.
I agree with you Cassie! It's way too dark! I was never able to wear bare minerals because of their shades. And it didnt work for my skin type. I even had pros it on me. It ALWAYS looked clingy and cakey on me. It just doesnt work for everyone (unlike the old infomercial would claim).
My problem with Bare Minerals was the oiliness as well. Using the mineral veil power to set the foundation “minerals” does help. But the amount of oils thru the day was just way to much for me. I do love the coverage as far as hiding my imperfections. But the benefit does not outweigh the bad. I actually watched this to see if the formula would have improved in the last 10ish years. I used this back when it was still an infomercial product.
You definitely need to use much less foundation and buff in REALLY well and build in super thin layers. And keep buffing it, almost to the point where you feel like you've buffed too much.
You really have to buff it in much more aggressively than you do. Also you have to really swirl it in the lid (into your brush) to warm up the powder. I think you’d love it then.
Gail Pennycook agree! Primer and swirl it in the cap. Any tutorial I’ve watched using powder foundation the people that live it use a primer and say really BUFF it in aggressively.
Also a Tinkle razor would help, Cassie. All your makeup will apply and look better and your skincare will work more effectively. It’s worth it.
Marge Burkell Cassie has stated previously, literally in this video that she doesn’t want to shave her face. It’s all personal preference, (and she prefers not to) so she should be able to find products that fit her wants.
@@mercilessmaiden383 But you can't blame a product for not working when you're not doing all that you can to make the product work, including waxing/shaving your mustache (and properly using the product would help too)...
She really shouldn't buff it in aggressively because it will irritate her skin, especially with her blemishes at the moment. It's actually total crap that bare minerals tries to market itself to people with sensitive and mature skin when the only way to have it not look terrible is to use a technique that will absolutely exacerbate the conditions associated with those skin types (rosacea, dry patches, acne, etc.).
Lauren Murphy I get that but make up isn’t that deep. I’m not gonna shave my face to make it flawless, it isn’t worth it. I get where she’s coming from and body hair is a personal choice. She’s chosen to not mind it, so let her not mind it lol
Need to buff that in really good, will work so much better
It may not be your deal. I used bareMinerals exclusively when I lived in MN. I had very pimply and volcano zits and their prime time and original powder. I sweat like a construction worker. I tap a very tiny amount into the cap, then swirl the powder into the brush for a long time. I build two or three layers, but buff and swirl for a very long time. if I don’t, cake city. I use Mineral Veil, which is my miracle that I can use to set it, and deal with shiny sweaty moments. Using a setting spray might help remove the transfer notice. I am so sorry it sucked for you. If you are interested, Shelby Wilson used to work for the company and her TH-cam channel has dozens of powder foundation tips. I would love to know what mascara you use, or how you pick them. They always smudge and clump. Boo! I need help!
Maybe it’s your lighting but I’ve seen way worse shade matches on you that didn’t seem to bother you.
Not trying to be mean, but you are missing out when it comes to shaving your face with a facial razor. I started doing it a year ago and I haven’t regretted it once! If you are worried about hair coming in thicker, it won’t. You will be the only one that notices that it is coming back based on feel. It takes a minute to do, so it isn’t like it is a lot of extra time. Plus, it makes your makeup gone on so much differently, in your favor. Lastly, it helps gently remove dry skin. I would pay good money to watch you shave your face with a facial razor... just saying.....
Call me crazy but I just didn’t think the shade match was that horrible, yes it was a shade dark but not nearly as bad as you thought! But I do agree with the other people about you needing to really buff in this foundation a lot more than you did! Buff buff buff!!!
Alisha Davis i liked the shade she chose better than the ghostly white shades she usually chooses. i think raw beauty kristi also uses a shade a darker for foundation to avoid that overly white cast.
Yea I agree!! She just looked a little tan it looked good
The big thing with any bare minerals foundations is that you HAVE to use their primer and their mineral veil. If you don’t set the foundation with their veil powder (which I know seems weird to set a powder with more powder), then you’re going to notice a lot more oil breakthrough. The veil is meant to blur pores and lock in the foundation, since the foundation turns to a cream when you’re blending it in with the brush. I personally like this foundation, along with their pressed foundation, but it’s definitely up the buyer to decide if the extra steps are worth it. I personally buy the extras on amazon for a very discounted price lol
It’s definitely one of those foundations that has a learning curve!! Definitely one you gotta go in with a kabuki brush(I use a 6 dollar Elf one) and you swirl it in the lid after you’ve tapped some out for at least 45 seconds to a minute, and then go in with circular motions on your face and just buff the crap out of it!!! It becomes creamy then and will look flawless!!! It definitely takes a lot of buffing lol. I think it looks really pretty on you 😍😍😍
I remember the old commercials that always said swirl, tap, and buff. Perhaps try that method.
You should watch some bare mineral foundation routines, as all the comments say you have to buff it in more, also, you set it with a powder, because it melts into your face and turns into a cream
Watch one of Shelbey Wilson’s videos on BM application. Her tips made it work perfectly for me and would help you.
I could not agree more. Less is more with Bare Minerals and you really need to buff it well and then buff it some more. Shelbey Wilson's videos are amazing for learning to apply it correctly.
I agree, she needs to watch some others on this one and try pairing it with their very popular primer.
Emily Noel does a great BM one too
I agree!
kbbels she’s the queen of bare minerals
in your research did you look at application techniques?
Please watch your cats with those salt lamps. Cats have nearly died from compulsively licking them.
I've had salt lamp and cats together for over 10years and they have never bothered them. I guess my cats are smart enough to know better!
Yes I saw that too. I removed them from being nearby my cat. It’s not worth the risk.
Bare Minerals is sort of special. Their products probably work best with each other, so bare minerals primer, bare minerals brushes, and the bare minerals technique, because there definitely is a technique that really works best for their products.
I know this is random but I just want to say thank you for never changing your background music it's so peaceful and brings me memories to when I was high school learning how to put makeup on in the summer 😌
I feel this
I absolutely agree!! I love the music she uses
Hi Cassie, I would urge you to retry this foundation again but this time using the Bareminerals foundation brush and the swirl, tap buff technique. I do use this, it is one of only 2 foundation brandsI will use as generally I favour tinted moisturisers. The shades are very forgiving when buffed correctly into skin, I have to admit you scared me with the amount of product you used lol a little goes a very long way and when buffed in, because it is minerals and not powder, it melds with your natural oils and gives a beautiful light weight coverage. I am kicking the ass off 50 and my skin looks flawless when using this, I also love their bronzer. Please give it another go, if you can see my profile pic this is the foundation and bronzer I am wearing in this pic x love your content, keeping doing what you're doing x big hugs ❤❤🤘🤘x
I totally agree! Ive used the original Bare minerals for years... always use their brush... definitely a learning curve to this foundation.. a light dusting of the mineral veil would help with the oil oiliness
I absolutely love this foundation, it does not aggravate my acne at all. I've repurchased it 3 times so far. However, it does need buffing to work so I can see how it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. Also, for me personally, could do with lighter shades
HOPE YOU SEE THIS!!! :) Howdy Cassie! :) Hope you're doing well! I think the 1st shade looks GREAT on you!!!! Very pretty and smooth finish!! It's very true when others say, you need very little. At least start with a little and work your way up. I used bare minerals powder foundations when it first came out and I hated it!, UNTIL, I played with it and figured it out... The second shade was also good. You mentioned your mustache being more noticeable with the second shade and the crazy thing I noticed was that I couldn't not see your mustache with the first "darker shade" ( that looked great BTW!) but noticed it MORE with the lighter shade! Totally respect your decision to not shave it or get rid of it. However, you can always BLEACH it! That's an option too....The bleaching kits are easy to use and are semi permanent. I am quite tan and my mustache is dark, and bleaching it has always worked without having to shave it! The hairs become invisible! I love your vids, keep'em coming!! You're awesome! I hope you have a great week! :>
I feel like most times when you test foundations they work better without the primer
cassie is there a way you can adjust the hue of your video in editing ? i notice, especially when you film with your ring-light setting, that the video is extremely cool toned. And so it's harder to tell the true color of things ya know ?
edit: oop when you adjusted the brightness @ 5:30, so much better! so kind of nevermind lol
Is there a reason that you won’t shave or wax your mustache? I have to shave basically my entire face. It helps your foundation look flawless! Love you Cassie ♥️
She's said that she's simply not into it in previous videos. I'm super hairy so its good to see someone in the same situation.
@@justme-on7bn that's a total myth/bullshit... if you shave your mustache or any body hair it FEELS thicker because your hair is being cut at a rough/blunt angle instead of the thin-to-full taper of a natural hair. Think about it, when guys shave their head, does it grow back fuller or thicker? Nope. Shaving won't give you more hairs either because shaving doesn't give you more hair follicles (which is what you need to produce MORE hair) . Science/human biology simple doesn't work like that. Try threading if you want your hairs to grow back without that blunt cut that makes it feel fuller and thicker.
i used to LIVE in the original bare minerals foundation when i had bad cystic acne, and it did amazing things for my skin. you’re totally making me miss it now!
Just out of curiosity...why not shave (or something) the stache?
She made an entire video about it lol
I find that a fluffy brush, swirled into the powder in the lid, then tap off the excess, & then buff, buff, buff & I have the most beautiful coverage & my skin looks amazeballs! A flat kabuki brush does not seen to do this foundation justice.
You only need a little bit. I feel you picked up to much powder.
You're nose pores have never looked better with a foundation!
First, it ALWAYS works best with their primer, which is very popular even to those not wearing mineral powder foundation. Secondly, let it set on your face and mix with your oils, then blot and add their finishing powder. Spray a setting spray and the transfer is fixed.
Sometimes it might be a good idea to research how others make it work. I add the foundation to my moisturizer after using their primer and it last all day and no transfer when I use the finishing power I my t zone and setting spray. In fact, it looks better as the day goes by.
Maybe watch some other videos on how others have gotten good results. Your primer is not going to work well with this type of foundation. I wear this makeup hiking in the Summer in very humid Florida and it stays put. Even when put over sunscreen. Try their primer, it's AMAZING even with your other foundations.
I recommend trying it with the Bare Minerals kabuki brush! The one you used is a bit too dense, in my opinion. You also need to have very moisturized skin before applying. Also, try the bare minerals primer! It's meant specifically to go under their powder foundations, but it also works great under other foundations, liquid included. As for the shade range, I've always had to mix two shades together, fair and fairly light. To remedy the transfer situation, I suggest trying the mineral veil to set everything.
WreckItRubix yes, their brush makes all the difference!
Thanks for the tips
Hey, gorgeous...we have similar skin (at least, when I was the same age as you...I'm more combo now, but humid climate...not too different.) I also have skin-attacking issues and some pore/acne fun. For background.
Living in Florida, BareMinerals' original is still my go-to...but it takes help. You do have to do that swirl, tap, blah blah nonsense, and be wary about piling it on at once. It's *thin* layers, just as many as you need. Coloring is tricky AF...mildly darker isn't awful in summer, and the warmth helps to disguise redness (I'm neutral and still wear Light).
Their primer is okay, but my secret assist is a zinc/titanium dioxide sunscreen...when that stuff dries, it minimizes pores and holds the stuff on like whoa. I typically skip primer aside from the sunscreen for that reason with this stuff. Those minerals work with the minerals in the foundation. 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe there's something in there you can try to help, even with other mineral foundations. It makes mine manageable and more graceful as it wears, with easy touch-ups. (That mineral veil spf25, tho!)
Good luck, you look lovely!
Which sunscreen are you using?
@@isabeldelong9577 I'm currently using EltaMD UV Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 44, but I used to use one Coola made for a Korean company, Hang 10, at Walmart (discontinued) so maybe a mineral kids one from Coola would be similar.
I would love to see you try this again. I love the original, though I've not tried the blemish one. Like many have said, bare minerals foundation needs to be buffed a TON. You also don't need so much product. Start small and build only where you need it. Less is more. Hopefully that helps with some of the heaviness and transferring. The original is actually my favorite foundation for days where I expect more sweat and oils!
Try the original formula. The shade range is wonderful. Along with their primer and finishing powder, there's a reason they're still one of the most sold foundations.
I think this is one of the foundations I’ve seen you try of that hasn’t fallen off or separated ...easy to apply n the coverage looks good. I think it worked better with no primer. 🤩
Can you explain why you won’t shave it off? I’m confused as to why?
You don’t need to give us a close up, and a blow by blow description of each of your blemishes. The reviews are great without that unnecessary detail, thanks for the videos they are really useful, the foundation looked good 👍
Disagree about the close ups. That's why I love her reviews. Do we need a "blow by blow" description of each blemish? NO! You're definitely spot on about that.
Hi Cassie. You skin and pores looked amazing They key to BM is thin layers buffed in well and setting with their mineral veil. I think the mineral veil would be the perfect addition to help set and control for you. Oh and btw, I enjoy your new format.
I suggest watching some tutorials on BM then a redo of this review. I’ve fallen in love with BM recently. It looks like I’m not wearing foundation just healthy even skin. Small amount ( like a sprinkle of cinnamon on a latte) swirl, swirl, swirl, tap, buff,buff, buff and buff... then repeat till coverage wanted is achieved. You can then take a concealer brush with a bit more and tap onto blemishes to completely hide
Congratulations for not picking Cassie. I don’t have dermo but I pick my pimples and I can’t leave them alone so I can’t imagine how hard it is for you. You should be proud of your self. I love your videos.
Start only buying your foundations in-person so you can test the color, so you don't have to get the wrong color anymore. I know it's more convenient to buy online, but maybe just get foundations in-person.
Yeah I couldn't imagine buying a foundation for the first time online. Even in person, I buy two shades.
Hi, Cassie! Sorry to bother you in your comments section, but I got a notice from USPS saying I need to reschedule delivery to your address if you don’t pick up your package at the post office by July 27th!! I hope you get your present :) otherwise, I don’t think I can afford to resend it again. Sorry for the trouble!!
Wendy T It’s cool, I just would hate for Cassie to miss receiving my package! Stuff happens and I’m sure her PO Box isn’t directly next door to her house either. 🤗 I just hope she gets it before it gets returned to me. 👍
Try the color 1N. I found that shade is neutral, non-orange and works well when wiped on with a sponge and then buffed in with a brush like ThaTaylaa does. Concealer goes underneath the powder! Flawless looking!
It’s so funny that you posted this today because as I was watching your elf pore putty review, I was thinking that you need bare minerals! Yay!! Keep using it. Don’t give up on it! Get the right brush and use less, buff more and layer if you need to. You’ll love it!
Do you still feel like the curology is helping? Will you be doing an update after month 2?
yes I do feel like it's helping overall!! I'll be doing a 3 month update :)
@@thriftthick I had to stop the curology, at first it was fine, then its made my face dry and terrribly itchy, then I broke out like crazy..Im 51 and never had pimples like I did with this product. Must be something in it I just cant use, since Ive stopped , my face has cleared up, still very dry, but pimples are almost gone.
Not sure what camera you use but it may be helpful to set your white balance when doing foundation videos so it doesn’t auto correct and change color temperature on you throughout filming
Use the shade fairly light! It’s gonna look a little yellow but just buff it it really well.
I used to exclusively wear Bare Minerals (the original), but branched out a few years ago looking for a change. I always really liked it (you do need to use a light hand and *really* buff) and strangers would stop me to say I had "beautiful skin" which is always better than "I love your makeup", lol. But this one did intrigue me 💜 (their shades seemed to be a lot better and more accurate for the original tho, I wore fair to fairly-light in that one). Also, their mineral veil really helped cut down on the oil slick that occurs for us oily skinned gals, I always found that using a primer was a bad idea, and believe it or not, weirdly their brush worked so much better than any other I'd tried
To be fair, wrong brush, wrong technique. I'm sure the women at Sephora would have helped you with that. The first (and last days without primer) day you looked AWESOME at the end of the day, after you used your blotting sheets, your skin was even-toned (albeit the wrong shade) and lovely. BTW, I've used BE - Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals for many years and never had issues with it transferring. I've LOVED this makeup! I hope you'll give it another shot. It's so harmless, you can SLEEP in it, it's actually good for your skin. *Edited to add, I've read below people encouraging you to buff it in aggressively, I've never done that either, the brushes are soft, and if you buff gently, yet thoroughly, it will perform well. No need at all to chew your face off with it, I promise!
You should have gone to the mall and had your skin shade matched at one of the Bare Minerals kiosks🤷♀️
and gotten a lesson in how to apply it since she didn't apply it correctly
Well, not everyone live near by a mall, that has Bare Minerals.
@@liene4619 You can easily get this done at any Ulta or Sephora.
@@dipschwantz1 and still, ignorance is bliss
maybe she was too nervous or maybe she got it online instead
Hi, I just wanted to say that I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to shave your upper lip, I always said I never would either. I thought it would make the hair grow back thicker but I was wrong. I have been using Schlick silk touch up facial razors. Oh my goodness it has made such a difference with how my makeup looks! And there’s also a cover that comes with them that I use on my eyebrows. Just something to think about. I love your videos and you are a beautiful person 💕
Same! So glad I started using those. My texture has even improved.
Did it help heal your acne? Maybe try the other BM foundations. Try an “Original” kit & a matte kit. And try a suitable face primer of BM too. Could never hurt to give it a try.💗
You gotta go in super light layers and really blend it in to the face with Bareminerals powders. It will cling if you don't.
She used a ton. You can tell at the end of the day shots. It’s like caked on and mixed with her oils. I have never used that much. Like where you can see the pores. I was scared
Hey my love (sorry if you have answered this in another video or live video and I just missed it) what type of skincare do you use? It's VERY normal for some people to be more oily than others, but usually if there is a REALLY excessive amount of oil something is usually going on there. It usually means that your skin is actually VERY dehydrated. Its always a vicious cycle with oily skin and hair because people think that because their skin is oily, they need to stop using oils and heavy moisturizers on their skin which in turn makes their skin even more oily. Another comparison is oily hair. My husband gets VERY oily hair. He will wash his hair in the morning and by that evening it looks like it has not been washed in over a week, he also was getting dandruff with it and so he asked me how that was possible. I explained that it is because the skin on his scalp is actually dehydrated and the more he washes his hair the more he is stripping the oils he actually needs. I told him to start training his scalp to getting used to not be washed as often. He started off only washing his hair every other day and then every 3rd day. Then I also had him incorporate a moisturizing all natural shampoo without sulfates. Sure enough, by the second week his scalp was a thousand times better. It will get worse for a few days as your skin is confused and over produces oil, but eventually it will even out. Sorry if you have already tried this, but I just thought I would mention it ;-). You will still more than likely be oily as that is just the nature of your skin, but I bet if you slowly incorporate the proper moisture through oils (yes, the dreaded oils) and proper moisturizers that it will DEF get better and not be so severe ;-).
I love that color on you!!!! It’s not that bad, the more u buff the better it gets!! I love this stuff since I can’t stand liquid foundation, this bm works for me and looks fantastic on you!!
Try shaving your face for smoother application
@Christina Williams oh I didnt know she had addressed it before. It wont make it grow back darker though it just cuts hairs at the shaft that have already kind of tapered due to contact with external factors. I have PCOS and so my facial hair is a big problem and making sure I shave it off has helped so much with how my makeup applies and has really boosted my self-confidence.
Christina Williams just wanted to let you know this is a total myth! Shaving does not & cannot cause your hair to grow back darker or thicker. It is scientifically proven that this is incorrect. I thought this too for a long time but I learned in nursing school there is no way for this to happen! ❤️❤️
Little question: Could you do a roomtour or apartment tour before you move and pack everything away? You did something like that a while back and it was so nice to see something like that from you. Or when you are in your new place maybe? Of course you dont have to if you dont want, thats for sure. Lots of love from germany! 🥰🤗
yes, I'm planning on doing a video like that... thank you for expressing your interest!! I'm sending lots of hugs back at'cha
Is the Curology not working for you anymore?? I would love an update on it!
Aye girl! BM veteran here, try using their own powder foundation brush. The tarte powder brush stinks compared to the BM brush. Also try using the mineral veil for the oil. Use the BM primer!! If you don't like the color, try the matte version (more shades and it’s kinda similar). The foundation looks amazing on you though. Remember less is more.
Did curology not work after all or was this filmed before that video?
same thoughts
I find powder foundation work best with a more flexible brush that you can "swirl" and it also works better in lighter layers buffed it. When you put so much on with such a dense brush it is just too cakey.
“I worry more that people think that I think that..” girl I relate to that. High five for that anxiety 😂
I love the way Bare Minerals looks, especially in photos but I just couldn’t fit ALL that buffing into my everyday 10 morning routine. I only wear it on the weekends and special occasions now.
I think this foundation actually looked really good on your skin. It looks really smooth. The key to using it is to REALLY buff it in and set it. I used to use BM all the time and the Mineral Veil is super helpful with keeping it in place. Also, it works better without primer!
Do you wear contacts when you apply your makeup? I think that may be the reason it could be patchy sometimes? Just a suggestion! I just don’t think you can see it 😉
I wanted to add.. Idk if you're still using Curology. But I think your skin is looking better. It took me about 3 months to adjust (peeling, redness, dryness). I put aquaphor on my really bad spots of dry patches at night (as a last step). It heals pimple scabbing very quickly. I would apply the usual pea sized amount (of Tretinoin) all over. And dab a tiny amount on my acne. Then put on the cerave night cream (heavy duty emollient cream) and put a thick layer of aquaphor over any open areas. It really does work. I just wanted to say I do see some improvement! But you're such a pretty girl. ❤👋
That blemish line by bare minerals is at marshalls and tj maxx all the time. That powder is like $7.99 or $9.99 bc I bought it. There's a few other things like concealer and such too.
eloeber1 Same! I bought this exact foundation like 3 months ago at TJ Maxx for $8. The shade was dark for me then, so I need to try it now that it is summer and I am tanner.
Cassie, you need to use less and buff, buff, buff. This powder foundation requires it. Tap powder is the lid and swirl the brush into the powder to warm it up. Then buff away! Light layers will give you the best result! Update us if you practice and get better at it. And yes, this foundation will give you a smooth complexion. 💗
I think you need to do better research on how to apply the products you test before you film a review. The majority of your foundation reviews you seem to not like & I think your application is never proper & that’s why you don’t like it. And that’s not fair 😑
You shouldn't have to research how to apply the product. It should say on the packaging and it shouldn't be that hard to apply
What a silly thing to say, don't watch then!
@@seraann4158 dont watch her then. Products should not be that difficult to apply. And everyone does makeup differently. There shouldn't be a right or wrong way to apply something
Ok, I’ve been watching Cassie on and off and back on for a couple years..and I would THINK, she’s nowhere near this clueless on shade matches and applications and the infamous primer that seems to NOT work for her. Aaand, much more. I’m sorry to say, but I think this is done on purpose to gain interaction to get more monetary gain for her videos. I’ve seen many videos how money is REALLY made and a video with 30,000 can get more pay day than a video with 100,000 views ..because of the videos interaction. I hate assuming but, common..how many videos and comments and subscribers later and she’s still not getting it? It’s whatever, honestly a lot of TH-cam is s hustle, but seeing all the caring comments go ignored over and over..it’s sad.
You are supposed to buff it into your skin which will probably look a lot better , you should really buff buff then it will look better ! I really like it on you not the colour which we all know is wrong but if you get the right shade I think it will be good ! It’s supposed to be used without primer and a straight buff , here in the uk we have bare minerals but it comes with a brush in fact I have a pot I use occasionally I love it !but it’s absorbency is amazing ! Cassie you sound very critical on everything are you unwell x
not sure if you watched the whole video but I did end up getting the right shade and I do buff it into the skin, quite a lot actually! :)
Awaits product merch t shirts with " I know I'm wearing the wrong shade foundation!!" 😉
Should start with **DING!** though 😂
The biggest problem ..listen closely .."I worry that people think I think I'm wearing the right shade foundation " ...Worrying what anyone thinks about HER shade of foundation is her first problem ...the next is that the better she looks the more critical she is of the makeup she's reviewing ...seen her do this for a long time now ..its really bad . She hasn't looked better in any foundation shes tested this year ..and she hates it ..just odd
Christina_does_makeup hahaha
You looked better in that foundation than any other you have ever used ...I think your vision may be an issue ..and as far as the "moustache" situation ...you aren't supposed to have one so using that in your "review" was a bad idea ...at best .
plus were mammals, we have body and facial hair. No one is required to shave their facial hair. Dumb social norm.
@Christina Williams Interesting points ...yet < I stand behind my previous statements .ty have a great one
Can you please try the Elisabeth Mott, thank me later eye primer and face primer. They say it’s good for oily skin and eyelids.
You should do an updated video of your regular daily makeup. I would love to see that. 🤗
Did you use a setting spray? That may be the issue if you arent
Bare Mineral is the best foundation out there...just have to apply correctly....💜💜
I use Fair Light too. I'm sure there is a primer that goes with the foundation. But you really need to buff it into the skin more.
Love your beautifully transparant reviews and warm friendly personality.Heve you ever tried Jane Iredale presssed powder foundation . If you use their reccomended flocked sponge, I find you get great natural looking coverage.
Cassie your skin has never looked better close up! This was the most natural looking foundation I've ever seen on your skin. I couldnt even tell it was a wrong shade.
Tata Kavlash, Finally I found someone who sees this the same way as me! I think it looked sooo beautiful on Cassie - including the slightly too dark shade! I use mineral foundation all the time (not BM, though) and have noticed that it's better to err on the darker side than too light with it. And also it's super important to find suitable moisturizers under it. And primer!
@@sari5494 Totally agree! I use mineral foundation too and I think it blends in with the natural oils and looks better as the day goes on versus liquid foundations just separate on oily skin and look cakey! You need a very good moisturizer underneath and the primer that works best for me is Becca backlight priming filter but it might be different for her skin.
I have the Blemish Rescue and I’ve found it difficult to buff in. I don’t think it works like the original. What I have found is that it gets more beautiful as it wears on my face. So I apply it like a powder, use setting spray, and an hour later it’s very pretty on. But not right away. Also I don’t think it has quite the same coverage as you get from the original. I’d almost cal it no coverage except for the way my skin looks as it wears throughout the day.
I don't understand why you didn't pair this with the Bareminerals primer. Also you are not applying the foundation correctly. Try watching some tutorials on applying Bareminerals products. I think you will be happier with it. I think this foundation really looks good on you
Cassie, this might sound weird but consider trying an oil absorbing powder in you oily areas before or after your powder foundation application.
Cassie, it’d be awesome if you can test more makeup products that helps blemishes, that way you can keep up with reviews, while potentially helping your skin
Lol the neutrogena skin blemish control concealer works and the hydroboost foundation is bomb. Your welcome.
So i actually had to go 1-2 shades darker than I usually go for this foundation. I actually really like this foundation! At first it made me so oily though. I ended up using the elf tone adjusting face primer after I moisturize and before applying. You also have to go little by little, swirl it in the cap and buff it on. Now it’s my fav foundation lol and definitely don’t get as oily
When you were one of those girls that wore the orange mousse 🤦♀️🙋♀️
That shade looks good on your btw. Even if it’s not the right one.
I actually like this one, and that's because it works with my MINERAL sunscreens. It looks like I used a medium coverage liquid foundation in one pass plus its longwearing. Liquid foundations for oily skin that are long wearing tend to look pretty bad on top of mineral sunscreen. Also mineral sunscreens can be mega mattifying, so you get oil control that way. I pair it with a medium to full coverage concealer that is longwearing underneath over scars and under the eyes, set all of that with a light layer of translucent powder (Loreal pro sweep and lock), and then I put a light layer of this powder foundation on top with a large, tapered, soft brush (the large powder brush from the Powder Bleu line from real techniques. I think its B01).
When I go to work I switch to a chemical sunscreen and long wearing liquid foundation, but when Im not working I use mineral sunscreen with a powder foundation, and this one has crazy coverage and looks nice. Is it perfection? No. But its pretty good! And it doesn't break me out. I will probably repurchase actually.
Can totally relate with the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Ivory - that stuff was super orange back when I was a teenager!
I think your makeup came out lovely! I find that for BM to work on my face with acne, I need to use a lot and pat on rather than buff.
I always use urban decay vitamin primer spray before. Let it dry completely. Then after buffing it in, I use all nighter from urban decay to melt it in and make it more skin like. Also less is more. I never use a liquid concealer with it. (They do have a powder concealer) just some tips to think about trying.
You can definitely use a primer. Idk what moisturizer you use but hopefully it’s oil free, then use the Elf tone adjusting primer omg it’s the perfect combo for this foundation
Did you set it? It’s a cream foundation! Just because it’s powder in original form it doesn’t end up that way on contact. You need to set it 100% would you not powder any other foundation? This is a damn good foundation. Try their mineral veil. Lol you have to buff it in. They are minerals. The original foundation has a large range. This is a limited range and not easy to find. I would not judge their loose minerals based on this product. Research their product line first before making a final decision expecially on a brand that has been around a very long time
A little goes a long way! If you slowly layer little by little....it would be look and last so long without the oil. Also using the bare minerals primer works well as well as the mineral veil
I really loved your video! It was nice seeing someone with oily skin and blemishes tryna foundation. It’s rare for me to be able to find people with oily skin for some reason. Just bought this foundation I think I might like it. Love you girl
I've never seen your skin look better in a foundation! If you find the right colour, I think this is a definite hit!!
I epilate my chin and tweeze my mustache area. I’m glutton for punishment I guess. It does hurt like a b*t*h but I refuse to have chin hair and a mustache. I’ve gotten used to the pain. My skin is very very fair and the hair is SO noticeable to me.
Love my emjoi epilator, I use it once, sometimes twice, a week....
would love to be able to get laser hair removal but that isn’t possible with our budget. Hopefully someday, someday that will be possible.
Sometimes I use the original bare minerals and while the coverage is good, it does break down on me by the end of the day and I don’t even have oily skin. It’s still a nice foundation though, like it looks good on your skin, just doesn’t last very long. But, bare minerals used to have a pressed powder foundation called Ready and it was the BEST I’ve ever used. Full coverage, and it didn’t break down, not even when I was out sweating on a hot humid day. They discontinued it which really really sucks. I feel like maybe you’d like it. Btw, love your foundation videos! 😊
I actually use a translucent setting powder before and after applying this and it helps it apply smoother and last longer with less oil!
I love love your channel - I come to it to see honest reviews for foundations on blemish prone skin! Sick of seeing 'influncers' recommend foundation when they have poreless, acne free skin. They are no help! Keep up the good work 😘
Seriously, it's GREAT foundation, and if you applied it as B.M. instructs you to, I think you'd really like it. It worked better without a primer, or perhaps you'd be willing to try the Bare Minerals primer? You really need their brushes too, and it will build up to full coverage, but when you've applied it so heavily out of the gate... you just can't really give it a fair shake.
I agree with you Cassie! It's way too dark! I was never able to wear bare minerals because of their shades. And it didnt work for my skin type. I even had pros it on me. It ALWAYS looked clingy and cakey on me. It just doesnt work for everyone (unlike the old infomercial would claim).
My problem with Bare Minerals was the oiliness as well. Using the mineral veil power to set the foundation “minerals” does help. But the amount of oils thru the day was just way to much for me. I do love the coverage as far as hiding my imperfections. But the benefit does not outweigh the bad. I actually watched this to see if the formula would have improved in the last 10ish years. I used this back when it was still an infomercial product.
