Make-Up Post – Bella Pierre

I warned you about make-up related posts! And here is my first. I was talked into buying this mineral foundation powder from BellaPierre cosmetics while in London at Christmas. Seriously, if you sit me down and do my make-up then I will feel pressured to buy what you have put on me. So I bought this. Along with the “kabuki brush” used to apply it.

They promised me that the minerals in the formula would improve my skin (which is very poor…) and would keep me covered all day.

I have to say, I’m not so impressed. I used it initially only on days when I didn’t want to/need to wear a full face of make-up but for the past few weeks while it’s warming up I’ve been wearing it pretty much every day. My skin hasn’t improved, and it doesn’t cover the pinkness of my skin tone and worst of all it doesn’t last all day. I would have wanted it to work so much, to have done everything it promised me.

I’d like to find a powder foundation like this ready for the warm weather, because I don’t want to block up my skin with gloop when it gets warm. If anyone has any recommendations, do let me know!

  1. Try MAC since they’ve got tonnes of various tones. I use Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 which provides medium to high coverage. I swear by it and it lasts the entire day. I used it for our summer church blessing last year and I didn’t have to touch up at all. They do light coverage too but if you really want your make-up to set, you can try the MAC Prep + Prime after applying everything you need. It helps give a matt look so the t-zone doesn’t shine on a hot day. The foot reflexologist we met in China during our holiday will tell you a pinkish skin tone is healthy. He said I ‘looked too yellow’ and that the pinkish gone on Dan’s face means he is a lot healthier than I am!

    • I’m going to try to! Actually I bought Maybelline BB cream and it’s really nice, so I’ll keep going with that for the time being. I do want to try Mac’s primer though. Make up never stays long on my eyelids. :-(
