A sweat, humidity and transfer-resistant natural matte foundation that provides 16 hours of breathable full coverage —while visibly evening skin tone and texture over time. What it does:Uses: A daily foundation that provides matte, natural-looking coverage for an even finish that lasts all day, with the added benefits of hydration and sun protection. In the years before my Roaccutane treatment, I was constantly on the lookout for a foundation that wouldn’t aggravate my acne and was long-wearing, yet natural-looking. The bareMinerals BAREPRO liquid foundation was the best one I found by far! Summed up, it’s high coverage, easy to build, keeps oil at bay and lasts for hours — but has never aggravated my skin or made me break out. Described as giving a “full coverage”“flawless matte finish”, Bare Pro Performance Wear Powder Foundation has “12 hour wear”. It’s “formulated with 90% vitamins and minerals.” It claims to be cake-free, and that it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts. BareMinerals Original SPF15 Foundation Form The best full coverage concealer can vary based on your coverage needs and preferences. Some popular options include COMPLEXION RESCUE® BRIGHTENING UNDER EYE CONCEALER SPF 25, ORIGINAL LIQUID MINERAL CONCEALER and LOOSE POWDER CONCEALER SPF 20.

As I mentioned above, this foundation dries down to a powder-like finish . However, I think the finish looks completely different depending on your skin type — I’ve experienced this first hand, as being on Roaccutane changed my skin from being fairly oily all over, to combination (oily in my t-zone, with dry patches elsewhere). and Under 275436666965 Makeup 275041157205 Makeup For Dry Skin 275041255509 Makeup for Mature Skin 275041222741 Makeup for Oily Skin 275778502741 Makeup Gifts 275737772117 Production Collection: Full size and Minis 275755466837 Students and Teachers What it is: I normally buy BareMinerals mineral foundation from Look Fantastic. They often have good offers on this brand, and about a gazillion others! Now that my skin is more prone to dryness, I have to be careful. If I don’t moisturise well before, it can cling to dry areas and end up looking patchy. However, when I need long-lasting, full coverage, it’s still my go-to — I’ve just got to use a good moisturiser and a hydrating primer underneath. I also make sure to follow up with a dewy setting spray. bareMinerals has since gone on to create a full wardrobe of foundations, with up to 30 different shades and numerous finishes, you are sure to find not only your perfect colour match but flawless coverage in a texture you’ll love.PEONY EXTRACT & SUGARCANE-DERIVED SQUALANE: Helps hydrate and nourish for smoother, more even skin. Normally, I wear a BareMinerals BB Primer before I add foundation, and I would really recommend this step. The primer makes both types of foundation last longer, and stops skin getting too shiny as well as giving light coverage. I’m not wearing that in the photos above though, so you can see the effect of the foundations on their own. BareMinerals' BarePro line includes products formulated with long-wearing, performance-driven ingredients. These products are often designed to offer full coverage and durability throughout the day, making them suitable for those seeking a more long-lasting makeup solution. By the way, you’ll need a really good makeup remover and face wash to remove this thoroughly at the end of the day! The bareMinerals BAREPRO foundation claims to be a medium-full coverage foundation, which I’d definitely agree with. I usually don’t enjoy a full coverage foundation as I find them too heavy and cakey on my skin. This one is different though — it covers really well but is still lightweight .

If ingredients don’t mean much to you, just know that this foundation is free of oil, parabens, sulfates and fragrance . It’s also non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic , meaning it won’t cause breakouts or clog pores — great for those who’re prone to breakouts. Do you like BareMinerals Mineral Foundation? Their Original Mineral Foundation was the first ‘green’ foundation I found that I really liked. I’ve also tried the Matte version (too chalky for me) and their now-discontinued Ready Foundation (which I didn’t like at all). When I heard about their latest launch: Bare Pro Performance Wear Powder Foundation, I really wanted to love it. Read on to see how they compare.

This application is ideal for balanced, combination or oily skin, or for on-the-go use.I don’t think this foundation is suitable for all skin types, though. My skin is a little drier after my Roaccutane treatment and while I still love this foundation, I’d say it’s much better suited to oily skin with no dry or dehydrated patches. I’ll speak a little more in-depth about this in the review, so let’s delve into the ins and outs so you can get a better idea if it’d be a good fit for you.

This breathable, full-coverage foundation wears for 24 hours while instantly blurring imperfections, visibly improving skin texture over time and protecting with SPF 20. What it does:

BareMinerals Original SPF15 Foundation Coverage

My spots and scars are still visible, as is that blue vein. I also find the Pro gets a bit cloggy when you add an extra layer, which isn’t ideal. It is better at covering enlarged pores, gives a nice smooth finish, and it lasts well too.
