| im_too_cute's Full Review: Loreal Bare Naturale Mineral Makeup |
I have been using this stuff for about 3 months now and I'll tell ya, I am a picky customer and this stuff has me hooked.
I personally am VERY fair complected and I use Soft Ivory. It really is the perfect shade for those of use who protect our skin from the sun and have that soft angel like complection. It is a LITTLE bit pricy at $12.98 at Wal*Mart but it is well worth it.
One container of it lasts me about 2 weeks. Yeah I know that's not very long but considering that I probably use more than the average person...it's alright. I have a lot of red spots on my skin, especially around my nose and cheaks and just putting some of this on every morning makes me look like I have this perfect complection. I can not tell you how many people have said "You have GORGEOUS skin" and I tell them "Nope....it's not me..it's Bare Naturale by Loreal". Ha ha.
Here is what the company says about their miracle product:

I am just completely in LOVE with this product and sing its praises to everyone so much that all of my friends and sisters use this. My MOM actually introduced me to it. The day it came out...she was at Wal*Mart and all of these women were gathered around the makeup counter...just in a total frenzy. She went over and seen they were all picking out their shade and trying the testers. Well...every since, they can't seem to keep it in at my Wal*Mart. LOL!
All I do is give it a shake...open it up...swirl the brush in the powder...tap it off and then buff it all over my face. I use more around my eyes and nose and on my cheaks. And that's it. Through out the day...I dont' put more powder on the brush...I just use the brush all over for a quick touch up.
The only down side I have found is the drying effect it has on my skin. But because I don't really have too much dry skin it really isn't that bad. But I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has extremely dry skin on their face.
I guess it could sit in lines and wrinkles. But for me...I'm 22 and it just goes on like SILK.
My makeup routine used to take 30 to 35 minutes EVERY morning. But now...I get to sleep in 20 minutes. YES...20 minutes! I used to use Covergirl Outlast. Which is an EXCELLENT product. But after I came really sick...I would get a really high fever and be so cold and then break my fever and be sweating up a storm. And my makeup would just run all over my face. And it was embarassing and I was just praying for something better to come along...and then this glorious product came into my life.
I am so grateful. And I can not imagine my life without it now. I know that sounds so silly for me to say about a makeup but seriously...it has changed the way I do my makeup. I'm not concerned during the day...I'm not worried about my makeup. I'm not scared that maybe my face is melting off because I'm hot. It's just...perfect.
I recommend this product to anyone of any age that does not have excessively dry skin on their face. Just give it a chance. Just try it once. Chances are...you will be hooked.
It didn't take long for me to find my perfect shade..but I see from this site that a lot of people had a problem with it. It does come in MANY MANY different shades.
Soft Ivory #456
Light Ivory #458
Nude Beige #460
Creamy Natural #462
Natural Beige #464
Buff Beige #466
Sun Beige #468
Classic Tan #470
And that goes in order from lightest to darkest. 60% of women in America are medium shades. If you are a medium...Go with Nude Beige Creamy Natural or Natural Beige. If you are fair like me...go with Soft Ivory (Being the palest) and Light Ivory. And if you are tan or ethnic go with Buff Beige Sun Beige And the darkest...classic tan.
All the colors look very natural and beautiful. I wear Soft Ivory, My mother wears Nude Beige and she is just a few shades darker than I. And my sister who tans A LOT uses Natural Beige.
If you go to a store like Wal*Mart they will have testers out for you to try on your hand or arm. Just go with what you usually use with other makeup.
It's just amazing makeup for anyone who is tired of liquid or thick stick foundation. It's a revolution in makeup in fact. So jump on board and see if you like it as much as everyone else does.
