I have never got along with mineral bases, but the new bareMinerals Bare Pro is a little bit different to the tap, swirl, can’t-really-be-bothered original dusty stuff. For a start, you don’t need to get cloudy with powdered minerals because it’s pressed and second, it’s got a 12 hour wear which is unusual for mineral that tends to drift off your face during the day. I will be honest, I haven’t given this a 12 hour run because I just don’t like the feel of mineral on my face but I am wearing it now and it does feel both silky and comfortable.
Under the powder palette, you’ll find a little sponge for touch ups but the idea is to apply with the Core Coverage brush. There are 20 shades from very light to very dark in a mix of warm and cool tones so there’s something for almost everyone. I am never going to be a powder-foundation fan – my skin is just not built for it and I can’t wait to take it off, so it’s difficult to give a fair review on this one, so consider this an information only post! If you love powder bases, it’s a non-heavy, breathable formula that has already launched on Q VC and hits stores on 1st September for £27.

I can’t wait for this!! I went to the store today to try it. The bareMinerals boutiques don’t have it yet but Ulta does. I am a huge BM fan but I am with you about the cloudy dust left when you’re trying to apply to your face. I love the idea of this in compact form. I have high hopes for this one.

Sounds intriguing. I like Bare Minerals’ original mineral foundation, but like Mel, I don’t like the amount of loose mineral powder that gets everywhere. Having it as a compact (and using it in conjunction with their Bare Skin foundation, which I also love) sounds like a great combination.
I really need to try this. I have always loved loose mineral foundations and they are especially great for me in the Summer or hot weather. The first foundation I ever bought was Lily Lolo’s mineral foundation nearly 10 years ago when they were a brand new brand in Yorkshire. I didn’t like the bareMinerals Ready foundation, but really want to try this one, I’m not one for retouching makeup so the 12 hour wear is a massive plus for me!
