Angled Powder Brush

I was excited when I saw the "lure minerals" label, hoping it was the resurrected lure minerals company I used to love that was owned by 2 sisters. But it wasn't the same. I have to practically coat the brush to get the same coverage and use 2/3 more than I did with other mineral powders. Usually, I have to tap the excess off and brush it on lightly and it covers all my blemishes and age spots easily. This time I have to fully load the brush and swirl it on my face to feel like more than a light powder and cover blemishes. but then it turns orangey. Weird, because it seems neutral when it first brushes on lightly, but as you rub it in, it seems to have a terra cotta streak...that isn't exactly blendable. I dabbed my finger in it and tapped my arm, then rubbed it and it does it like that on my arm when rubbed in. Turns orange. It isn't the worst thing ever, sort of gives a summer glow for summer, but not what I was expecting, and I am really a very neutral to cool tone, and I look too sallow in yellow and orange tones. So I'm just...meh... I can't say much for the other colors or the matte. I decide on the luminous for a change; maybe the matte doesn't do this?? Rather than try another shade in matte, I think I'm going to try a different brand. But I LOVE the container, never had a mineral makeup with this snazzy sifter container and decent lid so I think I am going to keep it for a refill with sweet face minerals.

this make up used to come in clear plastic container and was really good at covering imperfections and always made my face look flawless but they changed the color descriptions and formula, now it comes in the white container and does not cover like before, now it's more like a regular non mineral powder. I've tried mixing it with other brands to find a shade that works for me but was having to mix two to three different shades to come up with one that matched my skin tone and it's too much trouble. I decided to splurge and get some "bare minerals" and found a shade that matches me perfectly with no mixing necessary. It's a little more expensive but worth it. It covers great. they blew it on this when they changed the formula.

I wasn't expecting this to give me so much coverage but I am SHOCKED! I think this foundation is seriously more breathable and long lasting than Bare minerals! It's amazing. I'm in shock. It gives me a medium-full coverage and covers all of my blemishes without even having to use concealer! And I have some big red pimples right now. It has minimal ingredients (no talc, perfumes, etc) and it's cruelty free. It also provides a very luminous finish without looking oily. A little goes a long way too so this container will last a while. I will buy this for as long as it's being made!

Aunque lo he utilizado sólo una vez, al comparar con la versión Pure Minerals que había comprado antes, el color tiene un tinte más rojo, nada mal, y pude utilizarlo, pero no es tan natural como quisiera y esperaba. No es exactamente el comprado en Pure Minerals ya que no tenían el mismo nombre. Tiene además un toque de brillo que no vi en la descripción y hubiese preferido no tenerlo pues buscaba el polvo muy natural (y para uso diario) que antes había usado en Pure Minerals y antes de eso en Bare Esenc. (que son lo mejor en calidad, pero mucho mayor precio). Todo y todo, lo usaré y no está mal, pero no es del todo lo que esperaba para cubrir mis necesidades.

The powder gives good coverage and lasts the day. It doesn't seem to be quite as fine as the Bare Minerals, but could not find enough of a difference in the color coverage, or quality to justify their higher pricing. The quantity was significantly larger also. Seems to be a better value.

Exactly like Bare Minerals. I sometimes apply over foundation or sunscreen. Mineral powder flies around without careful application, and you don't want to inhale it, so I sometimes shake some in my palm and add a bit of water to create my own water based foundation. It feels like silk on my skin like that. If you are new to loose mineral powder, you won't be able to dash this on in the car and go. It is not as quick as pressed powder and obviously not as dewy as foundation. My skin has been oily phases as well as dry, and this worked well both times.

I have 50+ yr old skin, with pores that clog very easily. It is usually on the dry side, as I can use very little moisturizer. This product helps quite well in minimizing the fine flakes that I always seem to have on my cheeks because of this, as well as the few areas of larger pores and some of the 'life lines' I have accumulated over the years.It keeps my powder makeup in place all day (some others I have tried allow it all to slide down into my eyes by the early evening!). Also, for whatever reason, it helps to control the shine/oil that sometimes builds up on the forehead, without causing spots due to clogged pores.So far it has remained well-mixed (no separation). The pump pumps hard, and a full pump is more than I need. I would suggest, if you find that it does separate in the pump bottle, shake the fool out of it, then pump it into a tiny travel-size squeeze tube, if you have one, then you don't have to worry about getting 'layered' product pumped out.... I hope that makes sense.... (I found that the Bare Minerals brand primer separates and pumps out the 'oily-ish' part, leaving the thicker matrix in the bottom, which then clogs the pump...)

What an absolute joke. The lid says Lure Minerals with a Pure Mineral instructions inside. Ghetto product. No stars given 😢
