If you haven’t tried the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation yet, you must be one of a handful and this review is for you.

I, like most women I have spoken to about this foundation, have a love-hate relationship with it. There are some things that are so perfect and others that couldn’t be more wrong.

What I love:

•  Despite it being a mineral powder, the finish is not dull and matte. It is quite luminous and flattering.
•  It feels like I have nothing on my face
•  It gives an even coverage without much effort
•  It’s great in all types of climates
•  It lasts throughout the day

What I don’t love:

•  I feel like I have to use a lot of product to get medium coverage (not even full coverage)
•  Stila has spoiled me with their rubber stopper, and this product moves around a lot which causes more wastage
•  It leaves my undereyes in quite an unsightly condition – somewhat gray and sallow. I’ve noticed this on many women that use this product.
•  For women using this product for full coverage, it tends to make the whole face look sallow. I recommend this for light to medium coverage only.

While this would never end up in my train case for various reasons, I still keep it around for personal use.
