bareMinerals BARESKIN Foundation Review

I can't believe that I've had this foundation for MONTHS and have yet to do a review!! I'm sure you heard all about this foundation months ago when so many people received it for free from BeautyCon (myself included).

Mel and I decided to do another collaborative review. I have oily skin and she doesn't so it will be interesting to read what she thinks of this foundation. 

Here are the claims made by bareMinerals

Here's a before an after using this foundation.

Before - Bare Faced, minus the fading balm stain on my lips.

After - BareMinerals BareSkin Foundation Applied

Ignore the crazy hair, I skipped conditioner that morning!  

These are the two products I use to apply the foundation - Real Techniques Buffing Brush & a Beauty Blender.

Pros

- Lightweight medium coverage, for me feels like I have nothing on.

-There are several colors in this range to choose from.

-A little bit of product goes a long way.

-Easy to blend in.

-Doesn't add to my oiliness.

Cons

-Oxidizes. Hello orange!!

-It transfers..EVERYWHERE!!

-$29 is a little high for this foundation considering the two MAJOR problems I have with it - oxidizing and transfer.

Overall

I do think this is a good foundation, but not as good as many people made it sound. I prefer to use this foundation for shorter periods of time, since it just doesn't look good on my skin after 4 hours. I do think this would be better suited for those with oily skin, because of the serum in it. This hasn't replaced my CoverGirl 3 in 1 Foundation as a favorite.
