Wow! This stuff did wonders for my face! I like a natural look and don't wear foundation, but I thought I'd give this a try since it was so reasonably priced, and looked so "light" to wear. I received tons of compliments like I looked a lot healthier, pretty, and asked what I was wearing. If you don't like to cake your makeup on and want to do it relatively quickly, this is a great set for you! I do plan on getting a bigger kabuki brush for the mineral veil. The one it comes w/ is super soft and nice, but I prefer a bigger one. Overall if you're on the border, I'd say go for it! It's a great deal for this amount of makeup and it makes a huge difference in a subtle way.
I love the bronze color and the foundation powder. The finishing powder is extremely light, to a fault; I can barely tell that I put anything on. The white brush is great, super soft; the brown brush is coarser and the hairs come out easy. A good alternative for other mineral makeups.
I can tell this is really good make-up. I just wish someone would tell me how to apply without making a mess of the bathroom.
I was a little nervous about this purchase because none of the reviewers described their skin tone/color nor the color of the product they ordered. To help some of you out there, I am caucasian with medium skin tone and auburn (dyed) hair. I ordered the medium kit and it is perfect for my complexion and I could see it working for most medium/beige skin tones except for those with very fair porcelain complexions. Anyway, that being said, It's best when used right after applying your normal moisturizer/sunscreen while your skin is still slightly tacky so the fine powder has something to adhere to. Surprisingly, I found the little white kabuki brush to be superior to my brand name one. The small brown bronzer brush is ok but isn't anything to rave about, however the size would be good for travel and it's not a bad brush, just small. The bronzer is more sparkly/glittery than I like (but may be fun for summer). I am going to try to use it as an eyeshadow instead because of the high glitter but haven't had a chance yet. The white/translucent powder is basically just corn starch but actually I was surprised when I used the set the way I presume it was designed to be used - 1 all over coverage with the kabuki brush using the mineral powder 2 cheekbone definitition using the small brush and the bronze color 3 finishing with the translucent focusing on the center of the face t-zone area. This method actually left me looking very polished and almost airbrushed. I think the white translucent powder gives you that seamless, poreless look that we are all after so all in all this is a good product that is worth the money and that I would recommend in spite of the glittery bronzer and small size of the product. I forgot to mention the small size; one reviewer complained that these were mini size, they are smallish, the bronzer is about the size of an eyeshadow pot and the others are just slightly smaller in diameter than a regular compact powder but deeper. It did come in a zippered pouch too which was a bonus for travel.
Perhaps this product would work better on younger skin, I do have very nice skin for my age, but it's beginning to start aging. I found when I used the makeup, it tended to accentuate the fine wrinkling, more so than the makeup that I am using. I will ask my young neighbor if she would like to use it. I'm sure if you have young skin, it would look very pretty.
Not to happy with this product Would not order it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice little basic mineral makeup kit! I don't use ANYTHING BUT mineral makeup b/c anything w/talc in it, gathers in the lines of your face, making them MORE visible.
Compares well to other products of its kind that I have used; however, I should have selected a darker shade.
pleased even though i don't wear makeup often, i like this
First time trying mineral foundation, and just live it. Easy to use and great look when applied. Was hesitant at first but now happy I chose to try this out.
