Absolutely flawless!

I love this powder foundation, wears like liquid foundation, gives a flawless coverage and very lasting. I highly do recommend primer & the precision brush to go with it, it really makes a difference (buff in circular motion) Also buildable coverage can be used for concealer too. Its also good for your skin. Whats not to love? Test before you purchase the shades are NOT as dark as they look. They look lighter on skin.

The Foundation of my Dreams!

I have used BM original foundation throughout my twenties and only BM foundation. When I hit thirty my skin changed, became dry, more fine lines showing all that great stuff. I then began experimenting with other brands because I felt I needed more hydration and coverage. Mac was ok, M.U.F.E was better, and in the summer I would wear a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. I hate looking like I have foundation on as I am not a heavy handed makeup wearer. Bare Minerals launched this Ready foundation just in time adressing all my specific needs. It doesn't look like you're wearing a thing! It's hydrating & gives you a very natural finish, it's not as glowy as the origional I wish it was but it is not a matte finish either, it's somewhere in the middle. This is also full coverage, I barely need concealer and I love that. If you do choose to give this a go make sure you are following the new instructions with this foundation, first of all go to a boutique and get matched as this foundation runs a bit lighter that the original, use the proper angled brush made specifically for this foundation, and use long strokes when applying instead of the old buffing technique. Also make sure you are priming your face with BM prime time I noticed other primers don't work that well with BM's foundations as well as prime time does. I highly recomend trying this out if you don't like the look of cakey makeup face, if you suffer from dry skin, have some discoloriing and just want that naturaly beautiful look. I am deep in love with this foundation and will probably use it as long as I can as an everyday foundation.
