I got my Mary Kay Mineral Make-up Foundation from my aunt who lives in Canada. Mary Kay products are so pricey in the Philippines that I’d often think twice before I buy one. When I got it, I was pretty excited because it’s my first mineral loose powder foundation. Also, it comes with this wonderfully soft brush that I know I can most definitely reuse. What I was not so happy with was the shade- which was probably around a notch darker than my face. I, however, thought wrong because I found that it blended well with my skin tone after application.
The applicator brush is perfect- it has a soft feel and it successfully evens out the foundation on my face.
I don’t know how other people use it but for me, it’s like my setting powder- if there is such a thing. It’s like the final touch after I put on my BB cream, eye makeup, and blush. Yep, it’s definitely BB cream for me on a daily basis, no two-way cake foundation or anything like that. This way, I am able to achieve a more casual everyday make-up look, nothing fancy.
This is what it looks like inside.
I also realized that it is effective for make-up retouches. Even after a long and tiring day, a few quick dabs of this foundation and you’re ready to go.
It has a pretty good coverage (taken with flash).
Overall, I like it and it’s definitely a keeper. As I’ve said, it’s great for a setting powder and for touch-ups. I, however, would not use it alone as a base for my make-up because it would not really conceal the dark circles under my eyes and other imperfections. Also, one more thing is that because it’s in powder form, the stuff gets all over the place. Before putting it on your face, you need to tap the brush lightly to remove the excess.
It gives light to medium coverage. I wouldn't use this without a concealer.
I think this is a great product from Mary Kay but if I were to choose between a powder and a cake, maybe I’d still go for a cake type of foundation.
How do you like your speedy?
