Loose Mineral Foundation

I was a little skeptical about ordering YB off Amazon, and the price was about half of the usual "retail" price, but I received a genuine/authentic product. I've used YB Mineral Powder Foundation for 20ish years and nothing compares to it. If you've never tried Youngblood, you should give it a try. I started using it in my 20's, it's light but provides full coverage when applied correctly without a cakey finish. Now that I'm 40, I'm noticing small lines and that "youthful radiance" is fading from around my eyes. I have some redness some days and my skin can get oily. My facial skin is sensitive, so there are plenty of products that I won't/can't use, but YB has been consistently gentle and I've never had a problem with sensitivity. By now I should know more about my skin tone/undertone, but I don't. In the winter, color wise, I'm more fair-toned, and in the summer I can get to a medium/light medium tone. I've always purchased this powder in "Honey" and sometimes mixed with a lighter MAC powder (N4) , however if I find this product in a lighter shade that doesn't look orange, I will update this review 😉 If I had to compare this to another brand, it would be MAC pressed powder, as they no longer sell the loose power. Both the finish and price point are comparable, but YB still outperforms IMO. There is much to be gained in learning how to apply this mineral powder, and if you can swing it, I strongly recommend the full size YB Kabuki brush (there are two, a smaller version of the full size stubby Kabuki brush and the full size, both are "stubby" but the smaller one is less full/dense) the full size brush is typically $40 (retail) but you may be able to find a better deal at a cosmetology store or possibly here. There are tons of tutorials videos out there, so I won't drag this out further with application instructions. Bottom line: If you're looking for a salon quality, medium -full coverage foundation for all skin types, this is your jam. Bonus points for not settling in lines/wrinkles/pores, all day wear, and a beautiful, easy to apply, non-cakey finish. This is absolutely a product I will reach for again and again as it has consistently out-performed every other loose power foundation I've tried (a lot.)

I got my shade for $28 I think and it’s a perfect match. I was worried because of the price that it would be old or damaged but it works as well as I remember! I’m a makeup artist and this makeup is great for your skin. I read that a cosmetic surgeon created this for their patients to wear shortly after surgery, that’s how gentle it is on your skin. It covers very well and give a luminous finish which is great because cheap powder foundation looks dusty and dry. Buff it in with a kabuki brush (remember those?) to get full coverage. This line is like Bare Minerals but WAY better. If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money, I’m telling you it is!

This is an awesome full coverage foundation and I love that it is gluten free!! I searched for so long for gluten free makeup that would not break me out. I have super sensitive skin and Celiac Disease so I found that any gluten containing product irritated my skin and caused acne. I really like that this was formulated for people to use after cosmetic procedures so it wouldn't cause skin irritation. This foundation was my HG for several years, and the coverage is amazing! It also gives even coverage that isn't splotchy and lasts all day. I purchased and used it exclusively for a long time and I love that usually one swipe would cover any spots or scars. I still use it occasionally, but I found that as I am getting older, the powder settled easily into my pores and fine lines that are appearing. I will continue to purchase this as I think it is such a great foundation, although I'm in search of a good liquid that won't irritate my skin and will cover my pores a little better.

I love love love this mineral foundation. My go to used to be Armani Silk Foundation, but the ease and less mess plus stunning results has made me switch; I haven't found any other foundations that have met my expectations like this -- including all of the other mineral foundations. If you have dry skin then you put on heavy cream, let it set in and then apply for a glowing look. If your skin is oily then use a light lotion or serum and you will get a glowing natural look. I've had so many compliments - my skin is very fair and freckles easily and I am 35. When I put this on, I instantly look naturally sunkissed and hydrated, especially if I use serum and the appropriate cream/spf. The cool thing is that I am 33 and my mom is in her 50's and it goes on the same for her - granted she needs a much stronger cream, and serums before applying.

This is my second purchase of this foundation and I really like it. The only issue I have is that I am between shades but don't want to buy two to get the right match. This time I went a shade lighter to Soft beige from Warm beige and am glad I did. The warm beige was a great color for about 2 months when I have spent a lot of time at the pool. But for the rest of the year, it just didn't work. I had a hard time figuring out what shade to get and finally contacted the manufacturer to see what the next lighter shade was. Soft beige is a little light but with a little bronzer it works great and I know by the end of Fall it will be perfect. The one tip I have for this foundation is to make sure you have a great brush. When I first received it, I wasn't getting the look I wanted. It was cakey as others have mentioned. But after buying new brushes, I am fully satisfied! I get the coverage I need without it caking and settling into fine lines.

To start I have been a regular liquid foundation user. But as I am pushing 30 I realize I should be using things that will benefit my skin. I normally have good skin however I noticed with my regular liquid foundation it was starting to clog my pores and therefore I have been getting zits everywhere. Well I decided to give up liquid foundation all together and find myself a nice mineral foundation that would be beneficial to my skin. I heard of Youngblood and thought of giving them a try but there weren't many reviews on youtube so I ventured onto Bare minerals/escentuals which ended up being pure garbage! I am not oily skin by any means and after about 3-4 hours I was a grease ball not to mention it broke me out, imagine that their advertisements say its so pure you can sleep in it yet I broke out hmmm. So I moved on to a mineral foundation by Jane Iredale and this as well was garbage. Then I climbed the ladder to a more expensive mineral foundation by La Bella Donna this was the worst one out of them all I not only was so oily I thought you could fry an egg on my skin but it broke me out like the rest. Lastly I tried a Indie company called Terra Firma and it was the least worst out of the others but still no go for me as it made me look chalky. I was up to my ears at this point and was going to give up on the whole mineral foundation thing but thought back about how I never tried Youngblood and it was the first one I initially was going to try anyways but didn't. So I bought the Youngblood loose mineral foundation in Soft Beige and their loose rice setting powder. I am nc15-nc20 in Mac and the Soft Beige matched me perfectly! It is so silky smooth and looks absolutely amazing on my skin. Oh my goodness there is actually coverage with this as opposed to the others that offered nothing. The best part is I have not broken out with using this mineral foundation and rice powder, in fact the breakouts I've got from using all that other garbage has been calming down and clearing up. I am so thrilled to have finally found a mineral foundation that is everything I would have envisioned it to be. I would highly recommend this to every woman. My search is over! LOVE THIS STUFF!!

I love the powder Foundation however the application is terrible. It comes in a jar with no brush and you have to find something to disperse the makeup in otherwise you're putting it in the lid and dumping it all over the place

I.pve this powder makeup. It goes on so evenly and stays on until I remove it. I’ve worn it for several years.

Very happy with the product!

Great coverage

Fast service, came just in time. Have used Young blood to stop clogging of other mineral make ups. Perfect for the big night out.

Youngblood è perfetto per la mia pelle mista. Finalmente ho trovato un trucco leggero e al contempo uniformante. Soddisfattissima dell'acquisto!

I have used this powder as my main make up coverage for over 10 years. I wouldn't change. It glides on and covers from light to heavy as required. doesnt clog pores or leave you cakey. lots of colour options. Highly recommended!
