Satin Matte Mineral Foundation

I've been using this foundation for 10 years, which should tell you something about how much I like it. The color match is great (I'm 3.5 Neutral). It is a bit pricey but one can last me 6 months, which should also tell you that I don't like to use much but prefer to keep the application light and natural.

No coverage. It's EXACTLY like the Lily Lolo makeup. It goes on grainy and does not blend. If you want to use a mineral makeup, and can find your color, go for the Pureminerals pressed makeup. It blends like butter.

Looks like mineral foundations do not work on my skin.
I’ve purchased several shades with different undertones to try, but within 5 to 10 minutes after application they all looked horrific!
For the reference my skin tone is NW25. My skin is normal to dry and sensitive.
Shades I’ve tried:
- Neutral 3 - goes on too light and too pink, but transforms into neutral toned medium …Read more

I got the Find your match kit that comes with a small kabuki, then promptly ordered the full size+their foundation brush. It took forever to reach me, I contacted AP and they sent me a replacement. Great customer service. This is the first time I find a great shade match in a foundation.

I have dry but fairly problem free skin and was worried a powder wouldn't work well but it …Read more

This is a favorite mineral powder foundation by one of my fave youtubers, Audrey Coyne. So I went and ordered it from Sephora online. It took about a week to get this but it’s all worth the wait. The texture is similar to Jane Iridale’s but the effect upon application is way way better. I get a radiant glow without the messy oiliness. It is also not tacky. Plus the ingredients are so simple and …Read more

I've been using Alima for four years now? I'm honestly not sure. Enough to have repurchased a few times. This foundation on me is not full coverage but it goes on so beautifully that I can hardly complain and with 45 shades I can match mine perfectly. The powder is soft and finely-milled and buffs on easily with my flat-top kabuki brush. It has never broken me out and it is so …Read more

I've been using this for quite a few months. I have ultra sensitive rosacea but this stuff along with a few other products has cleared up the little bumps that were all over my face. Do I think it goes on as think as my Estee Lauder Double Powder Foundation? No but at the same time my face is clearer. Totally worth it for me. It is close enough. If I really wanted to I probably could build …Read more

Great stuff. I use this in conjuction with Dr. Jart Black Label BB Cream and Alima Balancing Powder Primer. In the last two weeks, I have not had much breakout or rashes. The colors of the foundation can vary. I actually thought I would be warm, but ended up in the olive spectrum. I'm a Mac NC30-35, after reading the reviews, I bought Olive 3. I ordered samples or warm 3 and 4, neutral 3 and …Read more

I'm acne prone and just recently decided to get myself into more organic/cruelty free makeup. I was really hesitant to try out a mineral foundation because I figured it wouldn't offer me enough coverage. Thankfully my skin has cleared up with the help of my dermatologist, and now I mainly deal with mild hyperpigmentation. I've been trying out this foundation for 2 weeks now and I …Read more

I'm just so disappointed cause I read all the good reviews and thought i'd love it.

I have combination skin, and I tried wearing this in the summer but it would literally sweat right off (that's never happened to me) and separate on my face. Gross. So i thought i could wear it in the winter. False. In the winter it clings to all my dry patches, even when i moisturize …Read more
