The first impression is that it does take some effort at first to get the desired look, but if you follow the instructions then it is pretty straight forward!

The two face brushes that come with the kit are different sizes, and you could use them both for the foundation depending on what look you desire (light/medium or medium/full) the larger of the two supposedly helps you to achieve the fuller coverage.

Personally I use the larger brush for the foundation and mineral veil, and the smaller brush for the all over face colour (just for ease as then you don't have to mix brushes and wash them to use different coloured products) 

I can achieve a lovely coverage with the large brush, though this does take some working in and effort. Daily, I can't really be spending so much time, so I've found that using a BB or CC cream as a base is a really good cheat! You can then just buff the foundation over the top as a powder and it gives the most natural finish! I'm in love! 

Mineral make up is supposed to be a lot better for your skin. I'm not sure whether it is actually making a difference in my skin itself, but when I'm wearing it the results are pretty good! It's such a natural coverage (but it hides imperfections at the same time). And the all over face colour is brill to give a lovely warmth to your complexion. Definitely use a light hand and plenty of blending though! 

I'm going to continue to use it and might post some before and after pics using the bare minerals kit... Which will hopefully be helpful! 

Please comment below if you use Bare Minerals or if you're thinking of trying it... I'm really glad I did! Mineral make up is the way forward :) such a natural look to the skin!
