Needs a better brush!

I purchased this foundation after discovering while on vacation that I had left my makeup bag at home. I grabbed this from the drugstore because it conveniently came with a built-in brush. The brush is way too soft and floppy to give even coverage, and the powder itself is very shiny and felt cakey. I also noticed the brush shed a lot and I ended up picking bristles off my face and shirt when I...read more was done applying it. It worked ok in a pinch, but I will not be purchasing this in the future as a replacement to my usual foundation. If the brush had shorter, more densely-packed bristles that didn't break off so easily, the application would be much smoother, and this would then be an excellent product for travel.

As good as Bare Escentuals

I ordered all kinds of this bare escentuals makeup and it is good makeup but is to high cost for your average person. So I put almay pure blend mineral makeup to the test and I like it a lot.First you don't haft to swirl tap and buff,What is it with that? I guess it makes people think their doing something.With almay pure blend mineral all you do is pump it in to the already built in brush and app...read morely and it is not messy like bare escentuals is and that is a good thing.And it sure don't cost as much. Thank you Donice

Good Foundation

This is a good mineral makeup. It can be built up for more coverage without looking heavy. It gives a natural look. It is slightly shimmery, so you make need a finishing powder if you want a matte look. It does not cover large pores very well, so you may want a pore minimizer or primer for those areas.
