By the way, you’ll need a really good makeup remover and face wash to remove this thoroughly at the end of the day! The bareMinerals BAREPRO foundation claims to be a medium-full coverage foundation, which I’d definitely agree with. I usually don’t enjoy a full coverage foundation as I find them too heavy and cakey on my skin. This one is different though — it covers really well but is still lightweight .

However, I think the finish looks completely different depending on your skin type — I’ve experienced this first hand, as being on Roaccutane changed my skin from being fairly oily all over, to combination (oily in my t-zone, with dry patches elsewhere).

Now that my skin is more prone to dryness, I have to be careful. If I don’t moisturise well before, it can cling to dry areas and end up looking patchy. However, when I need long-lasting, full coverage, it’s still my go-to — I’ve just got to use a good moisturiser and a hydrating primer underneath. I also make sure to follow up with a dewy setting spray. If ingredients don’t mean much to you, just know that this foundation is free of oil, parabens, sulfates and fragrance . It’s also non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic , meaning it won’t cause breakouts or clog pores — great for those who’re prone to breakouts. BAREPRO 16HR Skin-Perfecting Powder Foundation is a talc-free, natural matte foundation that provides 16 hours of breathable full coverage, while visibly evening skin tone and texture over time.I don’t think this foundation is suitable for all skin types, though. My skin is a little drier after my Roaccutane treatment and while I still love this foundation, I’d say it’s much better suited to oily skin with no dry or dehydrated patches. I’ll speak a little more in-depth about this in the review, so let’s delve into the ins and outs so you can get a better idea if it’d be a good fit for you. and Under 275436666965 Makeup 275041157205 Makeup For Dry Skin 275041255509 Makeup for Mature Skin 275041222741 Makeup for Oily Skin 275778502741 Makeup Gifts 275737772117 Production Collection: Full size and Minis 275755466837 Students and Teachers What it is: This breathable, full-coverage foundation wears for 24 hours while instantly blurring imperfections, visibly improving skin texture over time and protecting with SPF 20. What it does: The bareMinerals BAREPRO foundation is described by the brand as ‘creamy’, but I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that. When you pour it out of the bottle, it’s actually quite thin, liquidy and watery (like Mac Face And Body, for instance). About the Brand: In 1995, bareMinerals burst onto the beauty scene as one of the first makeup and skincare brands to focus on clean and natural ingredients. The brand formulates its products with carefully curated ingredients that nourish and hydrate the skin, improving it over time. About My Skin: Experiencing increased dryness

Before I jump into the review, here are some of the key facts and claims you need to know about the product, according to bareMinerals themselves: My skin is generally normal to dry, but due to mask-wearing and other environmental factors, lately it has been feeling drier than usual. Over time, I have acquired more wrinkles and spots due to aging, and I use several skincare products to optimize the appearance and health of my complexion. My daytime skincare routine always starts with a good base layer of a serum or face oil to nourish and hydrate. After this, I am ready for my everyday makeup, which consists of concealer, foundation, blush, mascara, and a lip product. PRO TIP (for wet application): Allow 30 seconds for powder to dry down to its natural matte finish before applying additional makeup as the shade may appear richer and more vibrant when applied wet. Normally, I wear a BareMinerals BB Primer before I add foundation, and I would really recommend this step. The primer makes both types of foundation last longer, and stops skin getting too shiny as well as giving light coverage. I’m not wearing that in the photos above though, so you can see the effect of the foundations on their own.

About

So at the moment, I’m using the Bare Pro as a finishing powder, over my Original Foundation, and that works really well. For sweat-proof makeup, look for long-wearing, waterproof, and smudge-resistant formulas. A sweat-proof option is BarePro 16HR Skin Perfecting Powder Foundation.. Sweep the product across your face, starting where you want the most coverage and blending outward in long strokes. When my skin was oilier, the finish was amazing. It dried down to a natural matte finish, but not so matte that my skin looked dry or lifeless. It would keep the oil at bay for a few hours, and when my oils did start to peek through, it’d still stay put.
