bellapierre Mineral Foundation SPF 15 - Loose Powder Foundation | Vegan & Cruelty Free Natural Makeup | Full Coverage Matte Finish | Hypoallergenic | Oil & Talc Free - 0.32 Oz - Cinnamon

I love this stuff. I have very red skin and usually need full-coverage foundation to hide it. I found this on Groupon and bought the trial kit when my sensitive skin was needing a lighter option on bad days. It covers very well, stays on (as long as I’m not heavily sweating), and doesn’t irritate my skin.My tips for application:Moisturize beforehand! It has a slight sheen, which can make imperfections look larger. As long as I moisturize, it sits nicely on my skin.Also, use a mattifying powder on top to minimize the above-mentioned issue or if you find it looks too shiny.Lastly, it’s messy. It’s loose powder, what can you expect? However, I personally feel like loose powder covers better and is easier to apply and manage. I just make sure to apply before I put my clothes on and do it over the sink so I can wipe it down afterwards.

This mineral powder is light as air makes you feel beautiful. It last all day. It goes on so smooth, and gives your skin a beautiful glow . A little mineral powder goes a long way it is well worth the price

I first started using this product close to six years ago, after finding a trial kit of it at TJ Maxx which included a really good quality Kabuki brush, which has held up perfectly through constant use and cleanings without noticing the loss of any bristles. Anyway, that small jar lasted over a year, then I searched diligently to find more without success... UNTIL AMAZON! And the price isn't too bad, considering how long it lasts. However, in December of 2017 when I first found it on Amazon it was $17 for this same size jar, and has shot up to $45, which is a ridiculous rate of inflation on any product, and the reason I gave it 4 stars 🌟. So I was super excited when the product popped up on my screen while shopping Amazon which included a $25 coupon. Hell yeah!!!I've said all that to explain the reason why I will pay even the regular price for this product: Though it's considerably more expensive than the original bareMinerals Foundation which is about $35 at most retailers, it's worth it because it's a much better product for dry skin than bareMinerals is. And I would imagine that would be true for all skin types. bareMinerals goes on my skin thicker or cakier even using the same amount and same brush than bellapierre Mineral Foundation which gives a far more natural appearance. After allowing my Origins Perfect World moisturizer to sink in, I apply this and it locks in the moisture, without even having the appearance of wearing makeup. Yet, it covers the imperfections in my skin, i.e. age spots and occasional blemishes. And the best part is it stays on and doesn't rub off onto your phone the way liquid foundation does, even when face powder is applied over it. Believe me, I've tried them all, but this is the best product by far... for my skin anyway.

I've spent years searching for the right foundation for my acne prone skin. I used to wear Prescriptive because they were the only line that did custom blending at the time, and being of mixed decent I had a difficult time finding foundations that had an olive/ yellow undertone but since they went out of business I had no choice but to find another option. I used MAC for a few years but found myself determined to find the right foundation for my skin. As I've been to the mall plenty of times and walked right past Bella Pierre kiosk. I decided to try my luck. I had two different girls that helped assist me in finding my perfect color. The color I chose to come close to my complexion was brown sugar. I swear by this product til this very day... Its perfect for oily skin and gives medium to full coverage without feeling like you have heavy weight foundation caked on your face. I definitely prefer a mineral foundation over a liquid for oily/combination skin.This is the best mineral foundation out on the market that comes in a variety of colors, and most importantly undertones! One 3oz normally last me about 2-3months before I have to place a new order (its worth the investment & such a great price)!

I love that the shades I chose are not orangy (I use the Cinnamon and Nutmeg); which is a common problem I have with most foundations. It has been frustrating beyond belief to find a good match for my skin tone. These have golden/olive undertones; which is perfect for me & looks so natural They are, hands down, my favorite foundations ever. I used to use Jane Iredale and wanted something a little cleaner and am very happy I found these.Update 10/21/23. Bellapierre has recently changed their shades. I still love the formula but I no longer can use the new Nutmeg as it is a bit too neutral * light for me; the other one was a tad warmer. And the Cinnamon shade is much lighter than before; and much less pigmented. I can still use it; but it is more like the shade in the box I originally got at TJ MAXX many years ago which I loved; but was my dead of winter shade when I was the lightest. When I ordered the full size thru the main website, it was darker and more pigmented; which I preferred. Now it is the lighter shade again; which is a bummer for me since I really loved the other one. I still love this foundation but am just bummed about the shades & the level of pigment; but at least I can still wear the Cinnamon when my skin is the lightest. All in all the formula is lovely but I do wish they would go back to the previous shades.
