PUR Beauty 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Powder Foundation with SPF 15 - Concealer & Finishing Compact Pressed Powder for Face - Buildable Medium to Full Coverage Foundation Powder

I had been using bare minerals, but couldn't find my color so I decided to give this one a shot. My skin is pretty good, so I don't need a thick liquid foundation. I just want some mineral powder to even out the color a bit and I'm good to go. I don't like messing with the loose powder because it just seems to make a mess everywhere. These compacts are perfect. I was able to choose a color based on their descriptions on Amazon and it is spot on for me. If you are unsure what your skin tone and its undertone is, there are many web sites that tell you how to figure it out. Using those instructions you can't go wrong. The powder goes on smoothly and gives good coverage. It is easy to apply with a nice big brush and it gives you a natural look, which is great! I will probably buy another one to keep in my travel bag. I highly recommend!

I had read good reviews about this product and decided to try it. I bought the brush that they recommend to work with it. I have to say that this product does cover your face with a foundation look and can be applied more if you want a heavier coverage. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't bother me at all. It gives a polished look to the face and I must say will cover up some redness on the cheek and chin area. It's not like a color corrector but it works well enough. This is a good product for everyday wear when you don't feel like spending time on liquid foundation. The texture of this product does feel like a moisturized mineral foundation powder if that makes sense. I don't get a flour faced look. I do wear moisturizer under the product though. I have dry skin and mature skin. I recommend it for the ease and price.

This product is super! I have tried MANY products to help cover imperfections and other face issues (rosacea) and have tried everything from FULL COVERAGE foundation, to pressed powders. Most of these products slide into wrinkles only to emphasize wrinkles and pores. Buy this product!! It goes on smooth (I used a makeup sponge) and DOES NOT emphasize wrinkles or dry patches! 5 STARS!! (Please don’t judge the photos too harshly, I just woke up, and rarely have bags!) 1st photo, no makeup, 2nd photo is 1/2 my face with this powder, and last is full makeup.

For reference I ordered the color light, I am 31 years old, oily/combo skin, freckles and fair neutral skin. I have both pink and yellow tones in my skin. I took a wild guess ordering the color light and it blends well with my fair skin! I posted a few pictures, sorry the lighting isn’t great but I figured it was better than nothing. My hands are a little red in the pictures because it’s been cold outside. In the picture I am wearing one light layer of this foundation only. I am typically one of the fairest shades in most foundations sold. If you go to the PUR site they have a color matching tool both by matching from another foundation shade you have used (what I used) or also by a virtual try on. I also searched YouTube videos and googled pictures of the shade light to see if it would match. Now on to what I think about the actual foundation. When I first tried on the foundation I must say I wasn’t overly impressed. Like I mentioned I have freckles and I am used to a more full coverage foundation. The coverage is pretty light (on initial try on) and I didn’t think it was doing much at first. I’m not used to powder foundation. I wanted to try a mineral foundation because I’ve been having hormonal breakouts and I thought it may help. So I gave the foundation another few chances with a different more dense flat top foundation brush and also I put on two layers. I ended up really liking the coverage that way. I’ve used it with and without foundation primer. I like it with the bare minerals primer. When comparing this to bare minerals I like them both. I feel like bare minerals has more coverage with one layer. With the PUR I have to build it up more for coverage, but I don’t have an issue with that. In bare minerals I’ve worn both the shades fairly light and golden fair. This PUR is way more convenient and less messy than bare minerals. It does really well with my oily/combo skin type. It looks natural and overall very flattering. With any powder foundation I have to make sure my peach fuzz on my face is removed. That’s just me. I don’t think powder foundation looks flattering on me with peach fuzz on my face. All it takes is a little nair, no big deal. I am a mom of toddlers and this powder foundation is fast and easy when you get the hang of it. I love the idea of mineral foundation. I have noticed my skin has gotten better since wearing it every day in comparison to heavy liquid foundation. If coverage is what you are after I would suggest a dense flat top foundation brush or beauty sponge. Real techniques makes a great powder foundation sponge that I love and it gives great coverage with this foundation. I never thought I would be converted to mineral powder foundation after using liquid for so long but I absolutely love it. It feels so light and nice on your skin in comparison to heavy liquid. It also looks natural. I would describe the finish as a natural semi-matte or stain finish. It’s not overly matte and flat. It doesn’t make my skin oily which is a big thing for me because I have an oily t-zone. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I feel like this foundation claims to have great coverage, but in actuality you have to build it up to get more full coverage. My favorite thing about this foundation is I can throw it in my bag if I’m running late along with a powder brush and throw it on in the car really easily. This is essential for me as a busy mom! Most days I put this foundation on that way and hardly even look in the mirror at what I’m doing. Lol!

I used to use Clinique liquid foundation, discovered this on accident and I've fallen in love! I switched about 3 years ago and have never looked back. My skin looks smooth, it offers sun protection, and can be as light or heavy as you want depending on how many layers you put on. I use a powder foundation brush to apply it.I am 40, I can't recommend this enough for more mature skin!

PUR Beauty 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Powder Foundation with SPF 15 - Concealer & Finishing Compact Pressed Powder for Face - Buildable Medium to Full Coverage Foundation Powder. Light Tan/TG3 - tan skin with golden undertones ($29.50)I apply this with a fluffy brush on top of moisturized and sunscreened skin. It does form a film on top of the actual pan with use, but you can remove the film with scotch tape or a spoolie. Also the pan came completely out of the compact randomly. Thankfully it did not shatter the pan. Never had that happen, even with drugstore brand compacts. This powder does not offer as much coverage as I had hoped (very sheer). It also produces a lot of powder fall out. So much so I had to shake the powder off of my top! For the price I expected better. Will use this up but will not be repurchasing. I like my Maybelline Super Stay powder more than this.

I’m very happy with this product. It provides natural and buildable coverage for a powder foundation. It doesn’t sit in lines nor look cakey. I tend to have dry patches and it never emphasizes it so long as I moisturize and prime. Only thing that I didn’t like is the skin tone matching. It’s hard to tell what will work with your skin tone and I got lucky.
