BARE SKIN PURE SERUM FOUNDATION

BAREMINERALS
BARE SKIN  PURE SERUM FOUNDATION

Lately my skin has been not only feeling but also looking like the Sahara desert (In the dry sense, not the hot sense). Im not a fan of a matte finish on me at this moment in time, strangely just about 6 months ago I was all about that matte life, god forbid my skin had some glow to it that wasn't intentionally placed there,  now Im all about that "natural" glow that takes about 10 make up steps to achieve (I'm sure everybody knows about what I'm referring to). Of course its everyones personal preference to what finish they want/need and I'm sure many switch things around depending on where they are going and how long they need their foundation to last for.

On a day-to-day basis I like a dewy, very lightweight, almost skin-like but maybe 75% better looking skin finish. I want something to provide me with good coverage to hide certain blemishes, most importantly redness and to even out the skin tone without feeling like I'm wearing anything ... on my face that is. This foundation gives me a brighter looking complexion, with a dewy finish and moderate coverage that is not drying, as it's a liquid serum base which is so important for me right now, with skincare ingredients to help keep the face well hydrated, repairing, protecting and providing anti-aging benefits with the help of mineral active titanium dioxide which provides broad spectrum protection from the sun. Do not get me wrong, this does not replace my daily skin care or any of my favourable skin serums but it sure does give my dry skin a helping hand throughout the whole day.
For application I tend to use a buffing brush and then go over with a beauty blender where more coverage is needed and to really just work the product into the skin. Application is quick, as the product is a liquid serum and is very easy to work with and blend. If more coverage is needed at any point I dab into my concealer, and spot conceal any blemishes or redness. I tend to set it with a veil (Nude by Nature), only focusing on my T-zone and under my eyes as that prevents creasing and provides more longevity.

To sum it up:
- Finish is dewy (not all will appreciate esp oily/combination skin)
- Mineral liquid foundation
- SPF 20
- Brighting
- Coverage sheer-light (Personally think - build-able)
- Plastic packaging, can get quite messy due to nosel
- Lightweight, blends easily, easy to work with
- Fragrance free
- Reasonable colour range
- Has not caused breakouts
- not tested on animals (woo)
