Like my skin but better
TLDR, this foundation provides a boost to your natural skin without that foundation feeling. Think your skin but better… less red and more even, zits are less noticable but not invisible, pores exist but aren’t highlighted and are slightly “blurred”(Though I highly recommend reading the full review obviously)This review is to help you decide if it’s right for you, I’m going to be honest and thorough because I find those reviews most helpful, even if that means sharing unflattering pics lolThe pictures include one front facing camera, and the rest are rear facing WITH FLASH so you can see how it sits on skin texture, take. Roughly 4hrs after application. While no one wants to post unflattering pics of themselves, I think it’s important to accurately portray how the product works. When looking at me in real life, it looks like the front facing camera shot, but as with any foundation it looks very different under bright unflattering light or when you examine it closely in a mirror. I thought it was important to include both.So onto the review.This is a lightweight, sheer coverage, buildable, powder foundation.Pros- lightweight, as in I literally can’t feel it on my skin- buildable- doesn’t cling to dry patches- doesn’t highlight the large pores near my nose- can be used on it’s own, as a setting powder, or even as a foundation with spot coverage using concealer or foundation for a more natural sheer look while still covering “problem” spots.- doesn’t get that weird separation in oily areas that can happen with some foundations.- doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin- long lasting, still look good at the end of the day- while it’s not waterproof, you can go out in the rain or workout without it all coming offCons (or at least things some might not like)- it’s sheer, while buildable you’ll never reach full coverage with just this powder.- it’s pressed powder, many prefer loose powder as it’s more finely milled. I will say this is verrrrry finely milled for a pressed powder though- the shade range isn’t fantastic, though if you’re pale you’re in luck- it’s somewhere between a matte and satin. While more “dewy” than most powders, it’s still a powder foundation and won’t give you that wet glass dewy lookFor reference, I don’t use primer and I did not use foundation or concealer under it for more coverage. I am having a flare up with my skin (hormones, not a reaction to the powder) so I have a few zits and red patches, but I figured this was a good time to make the review so others with these problems can see what kind of coverage to expect. I ordered shade light porcelain as I’m very pale. It’s a good match for me, other brands that match well for me for comparison…. Wet n wild photofocus in soft ivory, wet n wild cushion foundation in porcelain, hard candy glamoflauge in vanilla, and I believe I used porcelain in Maybelline fit me.

Like a magic eraser for your face
This powder is fantastic! It applies smoothly and offers excellent coverage, effectively concealing blemishes and skin discoloration. What I love most is that it feels lightweight and doesnât look cakey. It leaves a soft, velvety finish and matches my skin tone perfectly.

This is fantastic. One of my few subscriptions.
Iâm kind of a cheap person these days make-up wise. I used to use all Lancôme back in the day. Now, I use a mix of whatever I find at ulta. EXCEPT FOR THIS.I use this powder religiously and have ever since I first got it in my Ipsy. It is fantastic. I put it in with a round angled brush. The coverage is amazing, and it is a true sunscreen, even in Florida and in Wisconsin summers.One caveat: it looks a little plasticky and overdone at first. I think it needs a bit of time to settle. But if I power through and leave it thick, it looks great by the time I get to work. I do use it over a sunscreen BB cream from ulta. That tackiness helps it stay on.This is one of my few Amazon subscriptions. Itâs amazing.

Ended up loving it
For reference I ordered the color light, I am 31 years old, oily/combo skin, freckles and fair neutral skin. I have both pink and yellow tones in my skin. I took a wild guess ordering the color light and it blends well with my fair skin! I posted a few pictures, sorry the lighting isnât great but I figured it was better than nothing. My hands are a little red in the pictures because itâs been cold outside. In the picture I am wearing one light layer of this foundation only. I am typically one of the fairest shades in most foundations sold. If you go to the PUR site they have a color matching tool both by matching from another foundation shade you have used (what I used) or also by a virtual try on. I also searched YouTube videos and googled pictures of the shade light to see if it would match. Now on to what I think about the actual foundation. When I first tried on the foundation I must say I wasnât overly impressed. Like I mentioned I have freckles and I am used to a more full coverage foundation. The coverage is pretty light (on initial try on) and I didnât think it was doing much at first. Iâm not used to powder foundation. I wanted to try a mineral foundation because Iâve been having hormonal breakouts and I thought it may help. So I gave the foundation another few chances with a different more dense flat top foundation brush and also I put on two layers. I ended up really liking the coverage that way. Iâve used it with and without foundation primer. I like it with the bare minerals primer. When comparing this to bare minerals I like them both. I feel like bare minerals has more coverage with one layer. With the PUR I have to build it up more for coverage, but I donât have an issue with that. In bare minerals Iâve worn both the shades fairly light and golden fair. This PUR is way more convenient and less messy than bare minerals. It does really well with my oily/combo skin type. It looks natural and overall very flattering. With any powder foundation I have to make sure my peach fuzz on my face is removed. Thatâs just me. I donât think powder foundation looks flattering on me with peach fuzz on my face. All it takes is a little nair, no big deal. I am a mom of toddlers and this powder foundation is fast and easy when you get the hang of it. I love the idea of mineral foundation. I have noticed my skin has gotten better since wearing it every day in comparison to heavy liquid foundation. If coverage is what you are after I would suggest a dense flat top foundation brush or beauty sponge. Real techniques makes a great powder foundation sponge that I love and it gives great coverage with this foundation. I never thought I would be converted to mineral powder foundation after using liquid for so long but I absolutely love it. It feels so light and nice on your skin in comparison to heavy liquid. It also looks natural. I would describe the finish as a natural semi-matte or stain finish. Itâs not overly matte and flat. It doesnât make my skin oily which is a big thing for me because I have an oily t-zone. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I feel like this foundation claims to have great coverage, but in actuality you have to build it up to get more full coverage. My favorite thing about this foundation is I can throw it in my bag if Iâm running late along with a powder brush and throw it on in the car really easily. This is essential for me as a busy mom! Most days I put this foundation on that way and hardly even look in the mirror at what Iâm doing. Lol!

Great coverage
Super quick coverage. Love that itâs vegan since I have sensitive skin. Easy to find a color palette that suits me. Iâve purchased many times. Expensive but worth the money since it saves me steps/time.

Kind of does double duty as sunscreen and a face powder.

Absolutely love this. My match is perfect. Great coverage. Bonus it has SPF. My only disappointment is they donât do refills. Itâs such a gorgeous compact it a shame it will be discarded. I have raise this concern with the brand.

This powder is great – Iâve been using it for a number of years. It is easy to apply with a brush and does not look heavy on the skin. It covers up redness on the chin and nose for me. Good value for money as it seems to last forever!
