The coverage on this  foundation is medium to full coverage, however it has a semi dewy finish which looks natural. For though who are prone to acne, this foundation is oil free. Meaning that this foundation is also for skincare. I have worn this foundation for the whole day for this review. It is a beautiful foundation that color corrects. The only issue there is with the foundation is that is transfers very easily. If you touch your face then it will come off, so be careful with you face. Here are some tips.

Tip #1 : For medium coverage, apply a small amount from the center of the face outward and blend with fingertips, sponge, or brush. Build to full coverage by layering as needed.

Tip #1 : Apply with a fluffy foundation brush

Tip #2 : Load the brush up with the powder and tap the excess powder off for an even application.

bareMinerals - Prime Time™ Foundation Primer

bareMinerals claimed that thier prime time foundation primer prepares your skin for seamless coverage with bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. Apply it first for the smooth, evenly textured complexion you've been waiting for. HOwever, My experience with this foundation primer was completely negative. I had ordered the primer on impulse. This was the worst primer I ave ere used. throughout the day my face felt very heart and when I had looked in the mirror, my pores were huge. I am not a face of this primer at all. I don't suggest using this. Here are some tips.

Tip #1: Do Not Use!

bareMinerals -Concealer Broad Spectrum SPF 20

According to bareMinerals, this concealer effortlessly hides imperfections you don't want. Apply for redness and blemishes for weightless concealing that covers everything yet feels like nothing at all and protects skin with broad spectrum SPF 20. I believe that this concealer is very high coverage, however their website selections of skin tones are lighter than is demonstrated. Therefore, if you plan on purchasing a concealer from this makeup company choose a shade darker than you usually would. Another thing about this concealer that  would be f concern is that is a powder. This means that is would be best used by those with an oily complexion. Individuals with dehydrated skin would a appear very flakey and unappealing. If you still wish to use this product, I suggest you use a hydrating facial primer   or lotion. This product claims to last 8 hours through out the day, however when I wear it it doesn't not reach that length of time. I would suggest reapplying it every 2 - 3 hours. here are some tips.

Tip #1: Order a darker color if you purchase online.

Tip #2: If you have dehydrated skin, use a hydrating face primer or lotion to smooth the face.

Tip #3: touch up very 2 - 3 hours too keep the skin looking fresh.
