Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup

PurMinerals




Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup* & Chisel Brush*

Pür Minerals is a brand which is new to me yet it has been around for over a decade. The products are launching in the UK from the US and will be stocked exclusively at Marks & Spencer's Your Beauty Stores as well as online.
I've been trying out the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup in 'Light/Clair' and as I'm sure most of you know, I'm not the biggest fan of mineral/powder foundation's especially when they're loose. I can't be bothered with a cloud of powder flying around my head and I've never found one that gives enough coverage without looking cakey but I decided to give Pür Minerals offering a try as its pressed and contains makeup's first proven anti-ageing technology (Ceretin Complex). You know me, if it's anti-ageing I'm all over it like a rash! It's also free from a long list of nasties - harsh chemical dyes, petrolium-based oils, fragrance and fillers. The compact is really sturdy with an attractive design and mirror. The first thing I noticed is how well it covers any redness on my cheeks. Don't get me wrong, it's not full coverage by any stretch of the imagination but it covers enough for everyday use and application takes no longer than 60 seconds with the Chisel Brush.
I've been wearing Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup on days when  I don't want to wear makeup but don't want to go out completely bare faced either. As long as I moisturise first I never end up with that awful cakey face and it keeps the dreaded shine at bay for a few extra hours. If you have oily skin I think you would get on really well with this but if you have really dry skin it might look a bit too matte/flat.
Have you tried any products from Pür Minerals?

  1. I've been super anti-aging when it comes to my skin routine but I've been finding some things too oily. I'll probably give this a go if I can find my shade!

    1. Most anti-ageing products stimulate young skin too much and cause excess oil and spots. I love anti-ageing skin care but most I've tried do the same thing to me, it take's a while to find a routine that works. I get an oily t-zone and find this keeps the oil at bay alot longer than my liquid foundations but I still prefer them. If you're in M&S have a try and see how you get on.

  2. I've seen so much about this product, I was going to get someone to help me get this but I thought twice because I use powder so much that I thought it wouldnt be worth my time if I use it up so quickly! It sounds like a great product, I am willing to pay more for great powders due to my skin!

    1. Do you mean setting powder? This is a foundation but I don't see why it couldn't be used as a setting powder too.

    1. Let me know how you get on if you give it a try. :) I think anyone who likes bareMinerals and has oily skin would get on really well with it, especially if you like a matte base.

  4. This sounds nice and I like that it is pressed too. I am drowning under foundations at the moment or I would be tempted to try this- I am missing my Bare Minerals powder. xxx

    1. I really wish I could get on with BM but I just can't. The one thing I do prefer from BM over Pur Minerals though is BM adds alot more radiance to the skin.
