Pur Minerals Medium 4 in 1 makeup Review

(Lexington, SC)

I purchased mineral makeup recently for the first time at our local Ulta store. The saleslady suggested Pur Minerals because there is no mixing of powders involved and therefore, less mess. I like the method of application of mineral makeup, but am disappointed in the color choices. Light foundation is for people with light skin, yellow undertones. Medium is for medium with pink undertones. This is the same for Bare Essentuals color selection, but what about the fair skinned person with pink undertones? Medium is too dark for me and Light is too yellow. Because I didn't want to waste my purchase, I bought Almay's Pure blends mineral makeup in fair and mix it with my Medium Pur Minerals. I cannot use the Pur minerals Bronzer that came with the starter set because it is orange on my skin. The other thing I'm disappointed with is the idea of using the same makeup as a concealer by applying more to spots that need concealing....the spots end up looking darker than the rest of the makeup on my face. And being in my forties, using the foundation as a concealer under the eye does not work at all...it actually accentuates the fine lines and looks dry, no matter how much moisturizer I apply before applying the makeup.

I think Mineral makeup needs to offer more variety of color choices....3 colors can not possibly work for all skin tones. Also, they need to develop an actual concealer to work with their foundation. I will probably not purchase mineral makeup again until it is improved.

Note from Suzanne - several mineral makeups have a more varied color range - check out Affordable Mineral Makeup or Simply Karen Mineral Makeup
I am also in my 40s & had to stop using minerals as concealer - I use regular concealer - my favorite is by
Philosophy - it is a little pricy, but my first one lasted almost a year & it is amazing.
