4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation With SPF 15

"I really want to love this stuff, but it has a couple of flaws that I don't think I can get passed.

The pros:
It makes the skin look PERFECT (and perfectly natural). It has spf, it is the easiest foundation to apply that I have ever used, AND it has enough coverage to eradicate my dark circles and a mosquito bite on my cheekbone. All excellent reasons to keep using it.

The cons:
I have very fair yellow-toned skin. 'Light' is too dark for me (but the yellow tone is good), 'Porcelain' is the the perfect paleness but is not as yellow (it is is more neutral-peachy) so it isn't a perfect match either...

I can wear the Porcelain much better than the Fair, but it means blending it down my neck and over my collar bones.

Most people would probably think the match was OK, but I want perfection (don't we all?)

Oh, and one other thing - I think I may be finding the bismuth oxychloride a tiny bit irritating. More so in the Light shade than the Porcelain. The sensation is a mild tickling itch, rather like having a hair brush my face, but brushing the non-existent hair away doesn't help."

Pros: easy to learn how to use, not as messy as other powders, sold in stores in casse you need face to face help, relitivly cheaper then other makeup
Cons: need help in person to find shade

"Im 21, and when other girls where learning how to do make up in middle school with their moms; I was more of the tomb boy sort. So, now married and dipping into my more girly side I found I have no idea what im doing.
I was looking for something simple, easy to learn, and realitvly cheap. Thats when I came across this make up.
I ordered the starter kid, however I choose the wrong shade for my skin, unknowingly.
So at first, I thought the makeup was horrible. Easy to put on but looked silly. Like i had a powdered mask on. It also didnt cover up the sun spots on my face, or red blemishes. I was quick to write it off till I came across it in an Ulta store.
There i learned I was using the wrong shade, and that if I used a concealer brush rather then JUST the chisle brush, I could apply it to areas that need heavier coverage. Like that red spot on my nose that never seems to go away.
Now with the right shade, and the correct tools for my personal needs, Pur is abselutly perfect! One two three and im done! Nothing to complicated, and hardly any mess. I could be running late to an appointment and not have to choose between my hair and my makeup. 2 minutes and the makeups finished!
And whats really great is my skin is usually dry and flaky ( my cheeks mostly) and since ive been using this make up my skin has been more hydrated. With shea butter rather then anti ageing teas like other makeups have, I dont have to worry about usuing this on my younger skin. And older ladies who (more then likely by now found good anti aging products) dont have to worry about a clash between their make up and their other products.
Where I would recommend this product to anyone, I highly suggest you get to a Dillards or an Ulta and have them help you find your correct shade first. Its amazing how having the wrong shade can compleatly turn you off to something."

Pros: an amazing choice of coverage with one product, no waste of powder, actually pretty cost effective
Cons: larger sizes would be wonderful!

"I was admittedly a dubious skeptic. I'd used BM for awhile but didn't like the overly "caked" effect that sometimes occurred and when my skin wasn't a little bit tanned from the sun, the shades tended to be too yellow.

I bought the 4-in-1 after seeing other reviews. I wasn't too familiar with the product but wanted to try it anyway. Oh. My. Gosh. I will never go back to anything else. Pur is the one for me - I can have light or complete coverage, depending on what I want for my overall look; I have very obvious red patches which can be taken care of so, so easily and if I want something lighter I can simply change the application.

I was very, very dubious, but I have been delighted. Absolutely delighted."

Pros: easy to apply, looks great when first applied
Cons: a) becomes very greasy within 4 hrs., sunscreen does not work for me

"I tried the product because of the 4-in-one benefits.
My findings were as follows;
1) product went on extremely well and fast. However, by mid day my face looks like I smeared bacon on it…becomes way too shiny/greasy as the day progresses.
2) though I always had clear skin before using this product, I developed acne skin problems soon after using product on daily basis. I had to cleanse my skin daily with an acne facial cleaner in order to continue to use product.
3) I don’t think the sun screen in this product is any good as my skin started showing some sun damage when I use the product without using my regular sun screen first.
If these “bugs” could be worked out I would be very happy with the product."

"I am a true Pur woman, I was wearing bare mineral and had to stop due to the fact it was making me break out. My skin tone is brown with golden red tone very hard to match skin tone color. Thanks to ULTA I went in for advice of what to do about my bare mineral mishap. Well let the stir begin with dark and deeper foundation for a magical match. My consultant was so impressed with the results , she whispered to me , "this is why I wear pur, for wonderful results". FLAWLESS!!!!!! 5 MINUTES ON! No, dust storm mess on my bathroom door, sink, or clothes. Thanks! Purmineral for pure Magic!!!!"

"I typically have very, very dry skin and lots of redness. After using liquid concealers for years, a friend finally suggested I try Pur Minerals. Within hours, liquid concealers become cakey and crusty on my skin and also make creases in my smile lines. I find that a light dusting of pur minerals takes care of my dryness and completely covers the redness. I use Medium Golden in the summer and Light in the winter. The friend that recommended this product to me has oily skin and the product looks amazing on her as well. Now, even when I'm not wearing Pur Minerals, my skin looks and feels healthier and younger."

Pros: cleared skin, covered blemishes without flakey appearance, lightweight, worth the cost

"I had completely stopped wearing foundation because of the greasy and heavy feeling and appearance they gave my skin, however purminerals felt amazing on my skin and had a light flawless appearance. I had acne for a few years and have recently found that it has cleared with the use of purminerals."

"I have the pur minerals kit and I love it!! This powder makeup is awesome! And it covers my pimples so good that they look smaller than what they really are!! My favorite part is that it looks so natural!!"

"I just tried the kit which I purchased in Light, which was a perfect match for me. First off the sample I received for the primer which I chose in peach is great, I will be purchasing this for sure. After 4 pregnancies and hyperpigmentation with each my face is so discolored, this product smoothed out my skin, and greatly reduced the dark spots. My foundation covered so much better than the Bare Escentials I have been using for years. It is still just as light weight, yet better coverage. The glow is wonderful, shimmer without the shimmer look, and the blush is wonderful, nice fresh look to my skin. With my B.E. I was using, by the end of the day, I had a darker look to my skin, PurMinerals kept me fresh faced all day. So glad I did my long research on this product, and it is #1"
