I am am a loyal BareMinerals foundation user, but sometimes I like a little more coverage than it offers. As you may already know, I have pretty sensitive and acne-prone skin, so it is difficult to find a moderate to full coverage liquid foundation that doesn't make me break out. When I reordered my beloved Cor Silver Soap,
Skincarestore.com sent me a couple of samples, the
Illuminare Concealing Mineral Foundation being one of them. I gave it a try yesterday, and I have to say, it is pretty great.
I simply used my hands and fingers to apply and blend onto my face (make sure to use moisturizer first for better blending), but a brush or sponge may be used if preferred. After applying the foundation, my face barely required any concealer aside from a little brightening under the eyes. The finish is semi-matte, and the look is flawless (no caking or weird oxidation here!). I am seriously considering buying a tube of this stuff to have on hand for special occasions (or for when my skin acts up). A tube is about $27, which isn't cheap, but since you require such a small amount for a full-face application, it should last quite a while. And it contains sunscreen (SPF 20!) Something to consider if you are in search of a new foundation:)
