I received my Mini Starter Kit today, about a week after I ordered it. I live in Scandinavia, so that was fast!

I used Bare Minerals in the color Light, so I ordered light and fairly light in the starter kit. I think the light is the closest to my skin color. The brush smelled of plastic so I washed it with shampoo. I used the fairly light around my eyes and the light on the rest of the face. Amazing coverage! Compared to Bare Minerals it is less "sparkly" and more on the matte side, but not cakey at all.

It stayed on all day, and I did not scratch my face once! I have sensitized skin, so that’s usually a huge problem for me when using foundation.

All in all: love the brush, and love the foundation!

Finally long lasting makeup, I really loved the foundations!

I'm 15 years old, my skin is combination and as many other teenagers, I get acne. After getting acne, I get scars, and lot of them.

In 2010-2011, I used a foundation that caused me serious breakouts, and I had to visit the doctor for medication. It was bad. My mom told me to quit using makeup because of all the bad ingredients you'll find and what caused me the acne problems, and I quitted. I've got a lot of acne-scars in my face, and nothing helps. Late in 2011, I discovered "Mineral Hygienics", and I read a lot about it. I told my mom about the brand, and she read about it too. She "approved" it for me, and I got a set from "Mineral Hygienics". After starting using it, my acne disappeared. It caused me ZERO breakouts, and if I get acne, it's just two or three small ones. It was GOOD for my skin, and it did hide all of my scars!

And the product says it holds on while training, swimming
etc., and it does! I train a lot, so it was fantastic for me to finally find a makeup that stays on my face and don't pour down while jogging or other training. I fell in love with it, and I still am.

I just ordered the full started kit although the shade is to dark for me, I'm exchanging it out for the fairly light, and fair, but when I put it on my face I love how well it covered my imperfections, I love how sleek and nice it went on not cakey. It hasn't really helped with my oily skin like I was hoping it would. But so far I love this makeup and can't wait until I get my right color shipped to me.

I am so pleasantly surprised. I never intended to regularly use mineral makeup, because the other brands I've tried have "caked" on in places, and I couldn't stand it. In December, I had a chemical peel, after which the dermatologist recommend I use mineral makeup. I bought the starter kit with fairly light and light foundation, and to my surprise the light tone matched my shade perfectly! I also love the blush. I tried regular makeup after using Mineral Hygienics and hated the way it felt on my face. This stuff feels great, not heavy! I'm so glad I tried this brand, and will become a long-time customer.

I have never written a review until now. I have been a consultant for various cosmetic companies throughout my 49 years. If you are on the fence about trying this product or another, please read this review. This review is for all the military/dependent gals who know how hard it is to get products overseas because there still are companies who do not ship to APO addresses.

I started using Bare Escentuals in 2009 and then we moved to Germany with US Army. I could not conveniently order on-line as they did not have an APO option, I had to call them, they took over 2 months to get my product to me, and on top of that I had to fight to get my money refunded when some of my product never arrived. I was so mad at BE so I started reading magazines and reviews on-line and stumbled onto this company in October of 2010. I have a 20 year old daughter who models and she is very picky about her makeup as well.
We both have fallen in love with this product!!!

BE really clogged our pores, didn't have a good color match for our skin, and the makeup looked too heavy. Mineral Hygienics is the complete opposite. Our skin cleared up remarkably, we have found a wonderful color, the foundation and finish stay put until you take it off at night. I love the customer service!!!! For our military gals that are stationed overseas this company is for YOU! I can order easily on-line and receive my product in about 7-8 days depending on our mail service. Mineral Hygienics sends the order out promptly and sends a follow-up email that welcomes you to the company and is interested if I had received the products in a timely fashion and if they were in good condition. YEAH, someone cares about customer service and me as a person (very refreshing). Leave it to a mid-west company to give generous hospitality and service (I am from NE). I will not go to any other company because I love the product and the customer service! This
product is great for any age or skin type - do yourself a favor and order today. You will not be sorry that you took the leap to Mineral Hygienics.

I have always wanted to find a mineral foundation that doesn`t irritate my skin. This foundation is really good for sensitive skin and it doesn't contain irritating ingredients. I have tried many different brands, but Mineral Hygienics is one of the few that really does it all. Mineral Hygienics is also the first mineral foundation I have used that makes my dehydrated skin have its natural glow. I will definitely buy it again and use it on people when I do their makeup.

I’ve always loved Mineral foundation! now I’ve found my holy grail of foundation/powder! this leaves your skin flawless! I work as a makeup artist and I hope you find one that you really like. After years of being a makeup artist. The rule stands true. There are no rules to makeup, only rules of thumb. Nothing called "too anything”. I disagree with telling anyone how to wear their foundation/blush/powder/eyeliner/eye shadow. Makeup is subjective. Everyone has their own makeup style. Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelain like. A great example of this would be dita von teese, who even stays out the sun to maintain her light skin tone and wears light foundation. Some people prefer paler, others darker and sun kissed. But you do what you like and stay beautiful :) this product is amazing! I will purchase again! it
doesn’t feel heavy on the face, you forget you’re even wearing it! which I can’t say about many foundations! Thanks Mineral Hygienics

I have struggled with acne since my teens. I'm 30 and although the acne is light, it's still an issue. However, for the first time in 18 years I have clear skin! I am always a skeptic, but I started running low on my Mineral Hygienics and used a liquid makeup and my acne is back. I'm logging on to order more. I'm a believer! :)

I am chemically sensitive and prefer to avoid products with parabens, which some makeup products contain. I was so happy to find Mineral Hygienics which contain much fewer and safer ingredients than most makeup. I love the ease of application, as well as the look and feel of your products. The fact that I don't have to sign up for automatic shipments is an added bonus.
