Bare Minerals Get Started Kit

Hi everyone, so I thought that I would do a review for you guys on the BareMinerals starter kit. This whole set contains loose mineral products and it includes 2 different tones of foundation ( a yellowy tone and a pinky tone), a bronzer (warmth), a finishing powder (mineral veil), a primer, 2 foundation brushes and a concealer brush. It comes in 4 different shades, light, medium, tan and dark, the one that I have got is in medium. If you are a frequent reader of my blog then u you will probably be thinking 'I thought she doesn't wear foundation' well the fact is, I don't! My mum always wears foundation on a daily bases and a few months ago she bought this set and tried it out after years of using the L'Oréal True Match Foundation. I also thought that even if I don't wear foundation I still have to try some out and recommend some for you guys as I know that most people do wear foundation.

 

 

 So.... back to what this post is about, this set isn't exactly the cheapest but you do get alot of products inside it, so if you think about it, it isn't actually that expensive. So lets start with the primer, the primer just glides onto the skin making your skin feel super soft and smooth and it makes the foundation sit on your skin comfortably.
 

 

The foundation has a very buildable coverage as you can apply the tiniest bit and get a light coverage or really build with the foundation to get a really nice flawless coverage on the skin, it is a really nice foundation for acne-prone skin because it really nicely cancels out all of your imperfections. It lasts for a full day and it doesn't go funny on the skin in humid weathers, it also doesn't feel like you are wearing any makeup which I find a really great thing in a foundation.

 

The bronzer (warmth) adds some really nice colour to the skin, you can use this all over the face or just in the hollows of your cheeks to get a really nice bronzed glow, this doesn't at all look orangey on the skin instead it gives you a sun kissed look. The finishing powder (mineral veil) helps the foundation stay on for slightly longer and it is translucent so it doesn't add any more colour to your skin although I find it does seem to foundation slightly lighter.

 

The brushes I find apply the makeup nicely although I find that the bristles do fall out a lot and sometimes stick to your face, the full flawless face brush (left) is good for a more full coverage application whereas the flawless face brush (right) is good for like top ups as it gives a more lighter application. The maximum coverage concealer brush (middle) is great for applying extra foundation as a concealer on the places that the foundation brush cannot reach like under the eyes or if you want extra coverage on your blemishes.

 

 

Hope you liked it! ;-)
