Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation Review

BemineralfoundationBE loose mineral foundation has a smooth, creamy texture, and offers sheer to medium coverage.  Initially, this foundation gave me a natural, radiant finish, but within a few hours of application my skin turned from luminous to dull and lifeless.  I had similar results with repeated use.  The foundation is available in 12 shades.  Ingredients include: Titanium Dioxide (25%), Bismuth Oxychloride, Mica and Iron Oxides.

Bare Escentuals Original Mineral Veil Face Powder Review

Bemineralveil_2This is cornstarch-based* loose powder works well to eliminate shine; just don’t expect the soft, airbrushed finish it promises.  The sheer translucent shade may not be suitable for all skin tones.

*You should avoid cornstarch-based products if your skin is acne prone.
