bareminerals Barepro 24HR Wear Matte Liquid Foundation Mineral SPF 20, Full Coverage Foundation Makeup for Mature Skin, Oil-Free, Vegan

lasting coverage, needs a little care in application
I’m in Tokyo – this year we’ve had incredible heat and humidity, enough so the country declared it an emergency and issued warnings to stay indoors and go to cooling centers. Some days with the heat index is was 103F and 98% humidity or higher – I say all of that to give an idea of the typical conditions I’ve been wearing this makeup in for july and august, a time of year I normally forgo makeup altogether, but being in my second trimester I’m also “enjoying” some skin changes and pigmentation issues (thanks, hormones) that left me feeling not my best in terms of going bare faced.This stuff was fantastic- coverage is build-able so I was able to go for sheer in areas where I wanted to be a little more ‘glow’ and build up a more opaque cover where I needed to. I almost put down “no” for easy to apply because it’s not necessarily “easy”. I consider a BB cream “easy” or a tinted sunscreen where you smear and go “easy” – this stuff (like most bareminerals I’ve ever dealt with) rewards a little more patience and care in the application, it is blendable but at least for me and my conditions in my apartment (AC running 24/7) I’ve found it sets pretty quickly, especially depending on what primer I do or do not use – so while it’s not the tap tap blend blend blend buff buff buff of the powders, you can’t just wipe this on and get a streak-free coverage, plus you know the sunscreen aspect of it, you’d want to make sure you got it on evenly regardless just to make sure you’re getting the spf evenly.That said once it’s on, it is on!! I use a clarisonic as part of my skin care post-cleanser and if I don’t use a cleaning oil or something like a cold cream first, I can definitely see staining on the bristles where bits of this makeup have survived foaming washes and my fingers. It’s never run or creased or smeared even if I’ve sweat during the day – depending on my primer and setting powder, you do get a natural glow (which sounds better than oily sweaty I hate summer sheen) but that’s on trend over here anyway. Recently it survived a dat trip to disney from rope drop to close and considering I didn’t touch up or reapply, I was really pleased to look as if I was still made up at the end of the day. That said I’ve had a hard time matching my skin – there’s no sephora in easy reach (that I’ve found) from where I currently live so my skin match is about 3 years and a childbirth old, plus no where to go sample this particular brand as I import it. Ordering by my old foundation number left me with something a lot more orange than I needed, going up and down the shade chart by one for a few orders got ridiculously expensive, but I finally landed on one that works well enough to keep me happy.That said I guess I have to offer some love to the packaging too – the bottle survived being shipped overseas and then dropped a few times by a three year old wanting to help mommy with her makeup 🙂 Also loving the pump bottle – I’ve been a cargo girl for years before I started having a hard time finding it and the pouch/pour design was fine for life before a little one, but now I can’t imagine the messes I’d be dealing with, but with the pump I’m more in control of how much comes out and even if dropped or tipped over – no mess.

It’s good, I wouldn’t say holy grail good though
I have pink cool undertones, I would say that I’m a tan color and this color matches me pretty well even in the summer, this shade is a beige color and leans more toward pink undertones, I do not recommend this shade to anyone with yellow undertones. Now going into Fall I might have to go with a lighter shade eventually. As for the longevity of the product I could only base on my type of skin which is Combination skin, acne prone, oily t zone I’m going to say this foundation is pretty good I wouldn’t call it my holy grail foundation, it could last up to a nine hour Or eight hour wear Depending on the weather I wore it to Disneyland I’d say I got a total of eight hours before the oil started peeking through It was about 80 outside I’m not a fan of the SPF that it offers only because it does leave a white cast when taking pictures And could look chalky at times. I’ve used it with a sponge and a flat top kabuki brush, for more coverage use a brush, for less coverage use a sponge the only thing I will say is that it does minimize pores I’m 29 and I look for more natural products lately, so I guess I could rate this foundation 4 cause they do offer lots of color shades to match any undertone and it does not cause me to break out which I tend to even at this age. I guess I could wear this if I wanted extra coverage because it does cover well and helps with any imperfections or scarring it’ll cover it up pretty well and don’t have to use that many layers, It does feel like you’re wearing make up if you use too much, Less is better because you still get good coverage, too much and you’ll regret putting it on! I have attached some pictures of the color and me wearing the foundation. I went to ulta to get my color matched then I purchased it here on Amazon

Perfect match for pale and sensitive skin
As a super pale person it’s hard to find a good match that doesn’t oxidize badly and show off makeup lines. This foundation was a perfect match and has been long lasting and non drying. I have sensitive skin and this hasn’t caused any issues. I definitely will buy again.

Wear off
Good Coverage, color matched perfectly but later in the day the foundation settled in the fine lines on my face and transfer to clothes.

Der Hautton wurde mir technisch empfohlen. Leider ist er doch etwas zu hell. Aber mit dem Brounzer kann ich trotzdem ein tolles Ergebnis erzielen. Der Foundation an sich ist sehr leicht und deckend. So wie erwartet. Ich bin ein großer Fan von Bareminerals, weil ich überzeugt bin, dass es das beste Make-up für die Haut ist. Und dem wird das Make-up auch gerecht. Auch mit meiner Mischhaut aus trocken und ölig kommt es im Vergleich zu anderen sehr gut zurecht.Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es nur, weil die Empfehlung für den Hauton einen Tick zu hell war.

Loooove it! Excellent product!
