I've always been a fan of bareMinerals products, but I must admit that I'm not a fan of loose powder in general, so while I love the performance of their products, I never use them consecutively for months and months... I'm just too clumsy and end up getting powder all over my makeup bag, dressing table and carpet (shhhhh don't tell Mike!)
The unveiling of their READY collection back in April last year proved that the quality of their products and pigments are fantastic, and now (finally!) they have decided that the time is right to unveil a READY version of their original foundation, I had to try it out.
The packaging is lovely, as with all of the READY line: nice and sturdy with a big mirror and matte finish.
The texture is not that of a super fine powder, and it has a hint of shimmer in there if you look extra close.
The application is similar to the original foundation, but without the messy tapping, you just buff it straight into your skin. You can get a higher coverage if you use a more densely packed brush (for a medium, more natural finish, use a fluffy brush)
Because it's not super fine, it doesn't create a mess and provides a lovely medium, build-able coverage. It's a natural finish foundation that is easy to top up on the go (and stays put well anyway so this might not be a concern)
Mug shot (with no other makeup, first thing in the morning, so yes my hair, eyebrows etc are all ceerazy!)
I really love the coverage bareMinerals products provide, it's almost like a soft focus look. It's got SPF 20 to boot (and personally, I find topping up with powder throughout the day much easier than using a liquid foundation, so you can top up your spf at the same time... perfect!) There are 20 shades too, so something for everyone.
It's not cheap at £25, but i think if you're a bareMinerals convert you'll know that it's worth it. It's actually the same price as their original foundation, and the packaging is much more luxe. I'm a big fan. I think this is a great step forward for the brand, and this will be becoming a handbag regular for me personally.
You can pick up bareMinerals' new READY foundation from feelunique.com with 15% off and free delivery!
I really like how it looks on your skin! I've never tried a BareMinerals product, but I've heard great things about them. Would love to try them one day, but first I might look for it on the Internet because it's unavailable in my country, I think :(
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

Never tried bare minerals, but I've been intrigued recently, so this might be a good place to start. Since its matte might be a good option for my skin in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love bareminerals! Do u think they'll release a matte edition to this aswell?

So good to hear about this, as I use bareminerals as my foundation every day but no what you mean about the messiness! I use the kabuki brush for application, do you think this would work as well for this or would another type of brush be better?

Thank you for the review, Fleur.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to try this! I have never used any Bare Minerals products before, but so glad they have now come out with a compact! :)

This looks like a much much less messy version and might even sway me to try BM as I've always wanted to!! x

We've wanted to try bareminerals for a while but noticed that not as many people rave about it as they do NARS, Chanel and MAC. But after this post we are seriously considering purchasing this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks fleur. Great post as usual :)
www.mkstyleramblings.blogspot.com.au
It's quite different to all the other brands you mentioned, as they specialise in mineral foundation only really. I personally love chanel foundations if you're looking for a liquid. I don't really rate MAC foundations anymore, and NARS are good but not the best :) Hope that helps! :)
Deletei have never tried anything from bareminerals before, but this looks really good. it looks amazing on you! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love Bareminerals but my skin is too dry, and i don't find the great product with this brand! Sorry for my bad english i'm french!

I have yet to try any BareMinerals products (Don't shoot me please!) but this review has definitely made me think about it! It is quite expensive compared to my powder at the moment (Rimmel London Stay Matte) so it may take a little more persuading to get me to pay out for it :D <3

I love Bare Minerals products but totally agree about the loose powder thing - I am way too clumsy to use one on a daily basis, particularly when I'm doing my makeup early in the morning most days! This looks perfect though - expensive but worth the investment to me. Thanks for reviewing it!

I've never tried ant foundations that are in kind of pots, like this one. I think it's actually better than bottle ones as you can scrape the last bits of foundation off. This one seems really nice to try as you're first one! <3

I've never tried anything from BareMinerals, a part from being harassed by a saleswoman in Westfield once and she seemed to apply it really heavily so it felt a bit cakey. This looks really nice though and a lots more "controlable" than the loose powder. And you look amazing in the morning, wish I looked like that! xxx

It looks really natural on you. But isn't it cakey on dry skin? Doesn't create dry paches? I often have that problem, that's why I am asking! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Fleur,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering what shade you use? Great review :)
Have you considered trying Lily Lolo? There is a significant difference with the price tags.. however, you do have to put up with the slightly messy application.
ReplyDeleteI like everything about Bare Minerals Foundation, except the price :p
