BellaTerra Cosmetics Mineral Powder Foundation – Brown Sugar | Warm Medium-Deep Shade | Buildable Matte Finish for Smooth Complexion and Natural Radiance 9g

Good product, gast shipping

I bought a lighter and darker tone in order to mix them to match my skin tone throughout the year (darker in summer, lighter in winter.) Nice complete coverage and doesn't make me break out, it may feel a little bit cakey if you have oily skin and you use a bunch of it without primer or blotting, but the same holds for most powders out there. You can use a light dusting to even out your skin tone a little or layer it on to hide scars and discoloration. I use it without a liquid foundation or concealer and it does a great job, just a teeny bit of primer underneath because I have oily skin. I feel like the only thing wrong with it is that it can feel cakes if you don't apply it carefully and properly. Been buying Belle Terra mineral foundations for 3 years now and don't plan on changing.

Bella Terra is my go-to mineral foundation. As a black American woman who knows how difficult it is to find makeup in the proper shade, this matches perfectly and I'm a loyal customer. Working in cosmetics, I've tried A LOT of brands, looking for something not chock-full of questionable chemicals, and this wins hands-down. I think the coverage is much improved when using a primer (I use the Bella Terra primer, and although I prefer a pump rather than a jar for hygienic reasons, it's definitely a keeper). My skin is very problematic; oily and prone to acne (cystic, whiteheads and milia) but using the non-comedogenic primer under concealer (Nars) and topping it off with this foundation doesn't make me breakout or look greasy. Living in a humid, sunny and hot climate, this is very important so I'm so glad I've finally found something natural-looking that does the trick with gentle formulation in a precise hue for dark skin. Did I mention how great it is to find this online so as to avoid the unbelievable markup and highly annoying pushy sales reps in the mall kiosks?

This product is great because it has only a few ingredients in it. I was looking for something that wouldn't be full of chemicals. Bare Minerals and MAC makeup are full of ingredients that are harmful for your skin/blood stream. Don't be fooled by their slogans such as, "So bare you can sleep in it." Bologna! I first bought this from a Kiosk in the mall so they matched my color to skin tone. Then, I went online to Bella Terra's website and purchased it. However, I found that their site for purchasing was not secure and decided to use amazon. Amazon's site is secure and the price is way cheaper! This is a great price and great makeup. It lasts most of the day, but I do need to brush up a bit halfway through the day. Everyone's skin is so different so who knows if you'd have to do the same. I just love that I am not putting thousands of chemicals into my blood stream!

I HAVE ORDERED FROM THIS COMPANY 3 TIMES!!! I HAVE OILY/ COMBINATION/ SENSITIVE SKIN. I AM WHITE. I CAN SLEEP IN THIS STUFF AND I WILL NOT BREAK OUT HEAVILY UNLIKE OTHER FOUNDATIONS AND LOOSE POWDER. IT IS LIGHT WITH AMAZING COVERAGE. IT GIVES YOUR SKIN A GLOW UNLIKE OTHER POWDERS THAT MAKE YOUR FACE LOOK CAKEY. I ORDERED THE LATTE AND IT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN/ YELLOW (NOT ORANGE) GLOW. IT DOESN'T SMELL HEAVY OF THE "MAKEUP SMELL". IT IS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE AND LASTS ME 3 MONTHS WITH USING IT EVERYDAY. IT DOES NOT CRACK AROUND YOUR SMILE. IT LETS YOUR SKIN BREATHE. THIS IS A BARGAIN PRICE!!!! YOU WILL GET HOOKED. I AM 19.P.S ITS THE PERFECT COLOR FOR ALL LIP COLORSIT IS NOT TOO WHITE AND GHOSTLY BUT NOT TOO DARK WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN OUT IN THE SUN FOR DAYS

So far the best mineral foundation I've found out there. It doesn't have shiny and sparkling add-ons that give you that “glow” but that only work for perfectly smooth skin. If you have little wrinkles and lines they will be highlighted and even those that you can’t see normally will be noticeable. This product doesn’t do that. It covers great and coverage lasts all day. I have a little dark spot in one of my cheeks that I make disappear with this product. It is still gone by the end of the day. The overall face may need a little refreshment by the end of the day but coverage remains. To cover dark spots you may need a little extra right on the spot with a small detail brush. Anyway I love this product, bought it again, and will keep buying it.

In the last few years, I've used Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals, Physicians Formula, and Watts Beauty. Watts Beauty was by far the best all around and least expensive (Double Win!), but I haven't been able to find my shade anywhere. Bella Terra was intended to be my replacement powder, but after ordering it (and spending more than 2x as much), I can't say I'd recommend it.1) There is no mention anywhere in the product description that the foundation has a shimmer to it.2) I have oily skin and this foundation not only failed to control shine, it seemed to make my skin even worse.For obvious reasons, having added shimmer to a product that also makes me oilier than normal, is kind of disaster. Coating my face in shellac probably would have left me with the same result. In less than 4 hours, the foundation floated off most of my face and landed in my fine lines, wrinkles, and around my nose. AND THIS WAS IN OCTOBER!! I can only imagine how quickly this stuff would fail in the summer months.On the other hand, it didn't get really cake-y and it didn't seem to make my pores look bigger, which has definitely been a complaint with Bare Minerals and Physicians Formula. However, at least those products managed to stay on my face. Back to the drawing board...

Seems to be a good product, and for a very fair person with red undertones (dirty blonde hair), the ivory is the right shade for me. I've been happy with this product so far. I've never bought from the mall kiosk people, but as far as I can tell, this seems authentic. If anyone knows what to look for to determine for sure, I'd love to know, but it doesn't make my face break out and it applies like I think a mineral makeup should.

Me encanta este maquillaje, no lastima mi piel y la deja suave y tersa
