If you want a lightweight foundation, with a brightening effect I'd recommend this product. The rest of my make up went on seamlessly and it gave good coverage throughout the day, without drying out or cracking in places. It felt light and looked natural, yet smoothed over any redness and those dreaded dark circles. My skin absorbed it well, and it gave an instantly bright coverage. Two pumps was more than enough, in fact I had to tissue off some of the excess on my hands before continuing to smooth over my face, so it went on evenly. I applied it using my fingertips, but you could use a brush. It promises to refresh skin with a 'natural, healthy glow' and is infused with Hyaluronic Acid to 'lock in moisture', plus it contains SPF 30. I'm not keen on anything that feels heavy on my face and prefer a dewy finish rather than a matte look, so this foundation appealed to me. I rarely wear foundation and only tend to put it on for a night out, of which there haven't been many in the last year. I do want to give people a heads up that if you also had issues with the Original Powder Foundation to get a sample and do a patch test!įor now, I will be sticking to the BareSkin Concealer and Bare Minerals lip products which have never given me any problems.Max Factor Radiant Lift, Long Lasting Radiance foundation (Image: Liverpool Echo) My eyes were STILL watering! I will say that before the full on allergy attack I thought the foundation applied nicely and looked natural. I washed my face, popped some benadryl and took this picture 45 minutes later: This was way worse than any itching I had with the Original foundation. I made it about 15 minutes with the foundation applied to my face before my eyes and nose flipped the heck out. The itching started right away but I wanted to tough it out to give a review. When I recently bought the BareSkin Serum Foundation I was way over confident because of my love of the concealer and skipped the allergy testing I normally do with this brand. I didn’t have a reaction to the allergy test and have never had an issue using the concealer on my face. This past November I tried and fell in love with the BareMinerals BareSkin Concealer. I decided to try the new formulation when the sales associate told me that people who were allergic to the Original had no problem with the Matte version and I found that for me that was true! Yay! I eventually moved on to different foundations but in the back of my mind I’ve always remembered my reaction to the Original and whenever I tried a new item from BareMinerals I always did an allergy check before applying to my whole face. Jump to many years later when BareMinerals Boutiques were popping up in malls and they released a Matte version of their powder foundation. I quickly discovered I was allergic because the Original Foundation made me want to scratch my face off. I ordered the starter kit with the Original Powder Foundation (there was no pressed anything much less liquid formulas in these dark times). Many years ago before you could purchase BareMinerals in Ulta, Sephora, or actual BareMinerals boutiques you could really only buy the brand via an infomercial. Before I can get into my review of the BareSkin Serum Foundation I need to take you way way back to the distant past.
