It's officially September and I am so ready for fall, now if only the weather would catch up we'd be all good.
No matter how hard I try I'll just never be a summer-y girl which is funny because I grew up on the coast in a beautiful beach town and according to my mother I would hide from the sun under my blanket instead of playing (lmfao).
I guess I haven't changed much then, so if you see a grown woman hiding from the sun it just might be me hahaha. #PastyBitches
So for the past week I've been trying out a new foundation, the BarePro by BareMinerals ($34).
I absolutely love the packaging and it's super simple.
It's a weighted glass bottle with black text and a black cap, it also has a pump that can be twisted into a locked position (seriously awesome).
I wasn't sure at all what to expect before I tried this foundation because honestly it's new and I hadn't heard anything about it at all.
The foundation was quite liquid-y so I started off with 2 pumps and blended it out with the Infallible Beauty Sponge by L'Oreal, I was able to do my entire face and neck with just that initial 2 pumps and I have a fat head so that's freaking awesome and it also means this bottle will last a while.
I got full coverage with a natural matte finish and best of all because it was so liquid-y I didn't have to use much which not only is good for my bank account but also left me with the thinnest and lightest application and feeling ever when fully set.
No fucking joke it felt as though I didn't have any foundation on at all, which is funny because last week I reviewed a drugstore foundation and I commented how light that one felt on the skin and even that doesn't come close to how light this one is.
Not only did it feel good on my skin, it also looked really good on my skin.
It's just the right amount of matte where it looks natural and being that I have combination skin, it also didn't look gross or dry on the non oily areas of my face.
I do think that since this is matte it would not be good for dry skin or dry combination skin at all, although it's not overly matte, it is still very matte and kept my greasy ass t zone in check all day.
I can't even think of a foundation to compare this to because I've never had a full coverage foundation that felt this comfortable and light.
As always I've been trying it out with different primers and powders with fantastic results, I haven't had any bad combos yet and everything I piled on top of it blended out beautifully.
This is the perfect foundation for a "no makeup" makeup look.
It's also really good for your skin and has SPF 20 and also with prolonged use it's supposed to improve texture, hydration, and even pore visibility.
Although I've only been using it a week so I can't really touch on that.
The only negative thing I have to say is that I found the shade range to run a little light and being that I am pretty light that says a ton lol.
I chose the shade Warm Light which is the 7th lightest shade (7th!!) and this was still light on me, so I would probably suggest to either match yourself in store or order a shade or two darker than your initial instinct.
If I'm being completely honest here then I'd say I probably would not have bought this foundation on my own because BareMinerals just never pops into my head for makeup at all, when I think of BareMinerals I think of skincare products (they make my #HolyGrail serum btw) and of course I know they make powder foundations but it still just doesn't click in my head lol.
It sucks saying that because I think that is probably true for a lot of people when they think of the BareMinerals brand.
Yet this has literally become my favorite high end foundation right now.
Since I'm not a shady biotch I want to be clear and say:
*This product was sent to me complimentary for testing.
Have you tried this foundation? What's your favorite BareMinerals product?
