Magic Minerals Original , 12 g (Pack of 1)

I brought this not expecting much but I was very wrong. As the palest shade available, it is a little bit of a warmer tone than expected, but I'm paler than a ghost, so I'm used to that, and it blends out well enough that it isn't noticeable. It applies quite well- just remember to put on a moisturiser first, or it'll be a little crusty- and lasts so well!! I rub my face quite often and am not used to wearing makeup, but this stays on all day! It works very well for every day- it definitely isn't full coverage but can lessen dark eye bags and redness reasonably well. It is very easy to layer and takes about a minute to apply. It's quick and easy, and as it's not full coverage, it can be worn without blush or contour. Overall, great for evening out skin for everyday use.

This goes on evenly although I used a brush. Allows build up over areas that need it most e.g. redness.

I was pleasantly surprised by this compact.I tested it on bare moisterised skin and It deffinately tones down alot of my redness and is very fast and easy to use.I would not say it has full coverage, but you can deffinately swirl this on and go without any fuss and get a totaly natural look that lasts all day.I use the brush in a swirling motion, as described for the baremineral products on YouTube vids (worth a look if you don't know how to apply this), so you can build it up to cover more, as required.It can be a bit dry, so if you have dry or very dry skin like me, I would recommend using a moisturising primer first.It is a bit pale on my mid/light skin, but a bit of bronzer or blush sorts that out.Overall: It's a great price compared to most mineral make-up. The compact design with mirror is fantastic for ease of use, and the puff for on-the-go touch ups is a great little extra! The brush is perfect as well and those can cost more than the whole of this product!!I would deffinately recommend this set ;)

Fast delivery and cheapest I've found it

Came well packaged bigger than expected really nice on the skin and covers all imperfections comes with a round sponge

Firstly delivery was fantastic. Ordered late friday night and delivered first thing sunday morning although I would like if delivery person had rung the bell, as I didn't know it was there until I received an email saying it had been delivered and I was in at the time. Product is a bit disappointing TBH. Brush is lovely quality, but the power is sooooooo pale. It goes on well, but leaves me looking like a ghost. I think it should come in pale, medium, and dark shades to suit all skin types. I have light celtic freckled skin that does tan over time, but using this has completely hidden my tan and left me looking pale and ill. It might be ok in the winter, but not in the summer when it hides my tan and means I can't wear it at all. It does go on well and feels nice thanks to the quality brush, but unlike other reviewers have said, I found it looked quite powdery and was visible when I looked in my magnified mirror. Maybe not too visible to the naked eye, but under magnification it highlighted all my fine facial hairs, but maybe all powders do that? As I said, the jury's out. 3 different shades would solve the problem, as I would have purchased a 'medium' to at least give me some colour to even out my skin between my freckles which is what I'd been hoping for. If you are very light skinned, then go ahead, this powder is for you, but if you don't fancy looking pale and 'uninteresting' then I'd give it a miss until they bring out a darker version for slightly darker skin tones, and I don't mean mixed race or black as I'm Irish and it made me look at least two shades lighter than I am. Fine if you like the porcelain look.Update 15.12.16Ok, updating a few months on. The good quality brush is now rubbish and is shedding bristles all over the place. I had to buy another brush.Also I discovered they do do a darker version as I found it on sale in Asda and it says 'dark' on the cardboard surround. The dark version is a little dark for my skin in winter, but would be perfect in the summer when I have a tan, as described above. The pale one works for me in winter and I now add a little of the darker one on top for some highlighting. Wonder how long this brush will last.

This is excellent value for money. Had mine for about a month now, if not a bit longer and only now starting to hit the bottom of it, despite it's smallish size. I can easily compare it's coverage, skin colour match and ease of use to another baked creme, marbled foundation I used to use which costs almost £30. I think it does the job for me. I use the brush, the sponge is still in its packet as I don't really see the need for it. My skin is oily and I suffer from regular breakouts on my jawline, and this powder does not thankfully go orange as the day goes on.It doesn't completely mask some breakout, but I do feel much better with it on, and don't feel the need to use concealer as this covers enough, about 80% coverage on some breakout. It evens out my skintone and helps tomake my skin look brighter and clearer and more fresh, without being heavy.My advice is to apply it with the brush in a room which has the most daylight. At first it doesn't do much, but keep swirling and applying, building it up until you're happy with it. It doesn't look cakey or orange on me, so I can be very heavy handed with it if I want to, while it still looks natural. It's pretty fool proof, as long as you don't expect it to work like it does on the tv ads by hardly putting any on. Remember, on those ads you only see the cut, edited, short bits they want you to see!

Very pleased with the product. Exactly what I wanted. Arrived sooner than expected and great service.
