Great makeup! I've used other mineral makeups and this is the best. It has great coverage, doesn't cake, just the right amount of glow without making you look like the Tin Man. Love that there's no messy loose powder to deal with. Also love the blush which doesn't disappear, and the bronzer doesn't make my face look dirty like most do. I use only high end makeup and this is right up there. One thing about choosing a color- the light in this line is lighter than most. I'm a fairly light or light in BE and the light in purmineral was too light. So if you're not sure, I'd go darker. Have fun ladies!

I used to use Bare Minerals but I like
Pur Minerals better. I think it's more finely milled and gives a better finish. I really like it!

These products all cover surprisingly well for the amount that you apply without appearing to be too heavy or opaque. This allows you to pile on more or less as needed and still look very natural. The makeup also stays well even in very humid conditions and does not run or transfer to
clothing. I recommend this kit as opposed to just buying the base because it works very well in combination to alter the overall shade. I recently took this set on a trip to Hawaii, and although the base shade matched my skin well at the start of the trip, I quickly became tanned and pink with sun exposure. I found I could use the base shade and apply a little bronzer all over to match my current shade very closely. I normally hate blush but this one can be applied very lightly to add a gentle glow. One negative is that using the included chisel brush will make you go through the makeup too quickly. I found that I could use a loose kabuki brush to apply a lot less and still get good coverage. Also, I like to use a good concealer under this makeup on problem areas to increase coverage in certain places without using a lot of the purmineral base.

I really wanted to love this set but I have some issues with it. I've used Bare Minerals for years but admit it doesn't hold up well to heat and sweat. I ordered light because, unless it's summer and I'm tanned, I'm always a light. In the container I worried it might be too dark, but once I got it on it was actually too light. And it looked chalky. The brush that is given with it sheds as much as one of the dogs when you try to use it, leaving bristles everywhere. The blush, while actually a nice color and goes on sheer, has a very funny smell to it.
Guess I'm back to Bare Minerals.

I decided to try
purminerals after I ran out of my usual bareMinerals, I'm so glad I did! Honestly, I bought this starter kit because it was less expensive than BM but I didn't know what to expect. I really like the brush, which picks up just enough product without a mess. The 4-in-1 foundation has a velvety smooth texture, not powdery at all. The Blush Medium color was perfect for my "medium beige" complexion and compliments the mineral glow and marble blush that are included in the kit. The level of coverage after only one application is also great. I will definitely purchase again and intend to try some of the other
purminerals products soon.

I thought this was a great introduction to the Pur brand. I ended up reupping on my 4-in-1 face foundation powder a couple weeks later because I reapplied it quite often. Like many reviewers I also liked the special brush it came with. I personally have used the bronzer a lot and it's on its last leg, though it's nothing to rave about. The blush is nice and light and natural - perfect for paler skin tones. I wear this occasionally but only because I'm a more yellow tone. Definitely wish they'd come up with a color between Medium Tan and the next dark one whatever it's called because though I love the coverage and ease of application, it does make me a tad less colored, which doesn't bode well for summer. All in all, glad I made the buy! Recommend to others.

This is best foundation I have found to cover my melasma. Works better than Bare Minerals.

Like the make-up very much! Very small amount gives great "natural looking" coverage. The blush is a nice color for me (pink tones.) I don't use the bronzer - probably don't know how to apply it. Using less make-up because the coverage is so good. Zappos has wonderful customer service.
