For a while now, I've been on the hunt to find a new pressed powder foundation. I've used Mac Studio Fix for as long as I can remember, and sometimes when I feel like trying something new I really don't have an alternative in my make-up bag. So I did some "Youtube" research, and came across four different pressed power foundations, and the BareMinerals Ready pressed powder foundation was one of them.
It's really hard for me to do this review because I'm a big fan of BareMinerals. I've used their Well-Rested eye brightener, Vintage Peach blush, Prime Time primer, and have never had any problems. The products do what they claim to do, and I love that about this brand. However this product specifically didn't do well on my skin. If I'm being perfectly honest, I do think the main reason why it didn't work for me is mostly because of the type of skin I have. I've always had dry skin and when it comes to foundation (liquid or powder), I need to be extra cautious because it leaves my skin looking flakey and even more dry.
The BareMinerals READY foundation gave me a medium to full coverage, and made my skin look pretty radiant. But after a couple of hours, I started to see flakiness around my mouth and chin area. By the end of the day I felt like I was wearing liquid foundation. It looked very cakey and patchy on my skin. Unfortunately, It won't be a re-purchase anytime soon. Maybe when/if my skin type changes I can give it another try, but as of right now I'm going to keep using my Mac Studio Fix.
I have to say that If you have normal or oily skin, this foundation could do very well on your skin, but I can only share my experience based on the skin type that I have.
I'm not giving up just yet on finding a new powder foundation because I still have three more options that I haven't tried:
Nars 'All Day' Luminous Powder Foundation
It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation
Tarte Airbrush Full Coverage Foundation
Will be doing a review on each of them, once I've properly tried each one.
