Bare Minerals Foundation - Review

I've been toying with the idea of changing my foundation to a liquid one for a few weeks now; I occasionally dip into a liquid one I have from Clinique but on the whole I use Bare Minerals in fairly light :  



I think I've just got complacent with it and dare I say bored?  So I tried to remember why I fell in love with it so I done half a face and these are the results:

(Apologies about my ugly mug btw)  Here is half of my face before:


Half of my face after swirl, tap and buffing:


It really does eliminate the redness and evens my skin tone out without making me look like I even have makeup on.  

 I should add that I only have the foundation on my face; I wanted to do the half a face test fairly so I didn't use a primer or a concealer.  

After looking at the half a face test pics I've decided to stick with my mineral makeup.  It doesn't cause breakouts for me; it's not full of crap and it works.  What else do I need to concern myself with?  Yep; I'm sticking to this foundation for the foreseeable future.

You can check out the range at the Bare Minerals website where they give a list of all the foundation colour options.  I use fairly light because it's neutral based; although my skin can be 'yellowy' I also suffer from redness around my nose and at the top of my cheeks.

What's your foundation of choice?  Are you a liquid or a powder foundation girl?  Have you ever tried mineral makeup?

  5. I use Bare Minerals Fairly Light too :) I went off it for a while wanting more coverage and switched to Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation but have gone back to BM. I just love that it takes the edge off imperfections without hiding your skin. So easy to apply too! x

  8. I used this for a while and have been thinking about it a lot recently, I love the finish it gives when I'm having a good skin day and how it works with your natural oils and looks even better after a couple of hours wear!x
