Youngblood Mineral Foundation has the most beautiful finish of all the mineral foundations I've tried. Some mineral foundations make me itch, even though they all have basically the same ingredients. Youngblood never causes itching, so it must have less concentration of whatever irritates my skin. Talc for sure causes itching and redness, which is why I use minerals, but, for awhile I thought bismuth oxychloride was a problem for me as well. I avoided mineral foundations for quite some time, but recently I came across an old photo of myself, and my skin looked incredible. For some reason, I remembered that I was using Youngblood minerals at the time the photo was taken, so I decided to give these another go. Back when I used Youngblood (a LONG time ago) there were less shade choices and Warm Beige was my only option. Even though it wasn't an exact color match, it looked great. Now Youngblood's shades are expanded, and Tawnee is the perfect match for my skin. I love the finish - it adds a vibrance to skin but no shimmer or glittery "fake" look. It has a much less "glowy" finish than other popular mineral foundations, and, on me, I feel this looks more "natural". I don't like to look "made up", but I like to look put together and neat. (And I like to mute freckles & stuff). I don't use mineral powder foundation every day, mostly because my skin changes with seasons, but I still thinks it's the perfect, easy hot weather makeup. It is excellent at staying put, and controlling oil and perspiration. It keeps my face looking fresh as long as possible.

I really like youngblood mineral foundation, and this is the perfect color match for me. I'm pretty fair but can tan. I'm usually an ivory or alabaster in liquid foundations and found this to work a lot better than the youngblood neutral I was in before as neutral seems more pinky but barely beige cancels out the pink tones I don't like and you can't even tell I'm wearing makeup. Love it as a concealer too as it works better than anything else and doesn't crease like creams. The only reason I give it a 4 rather than a 5 is because there's some ingredient that I must be sensitive to that makes my skin itchy, but my skin has seemed to adapt to where it's not been enough of an issue to not continue buying as I haven't found a mineral foundation that's better and that gives the great coverage that yb does. Also, I find that I do need the rice powder to avoid shine, but personally find the primer unnecessary.

I started using this because my dermatologist sells it in the office. It's much cheaper on Amazon of course. The coverage is full if you apply it with a Kabuki brush. My trick is to start with a neutral shade first on my trouble spots (natural/neutral), then cover my face with a lighter shade (ivory) and blend well. It is hard to get the ivory shade to cover much, it almost could be named translucent instead of ivory because it feels so much lighter than the other shades do. I finish with the rice powder to set and reduce shine. If you are still shiny at the end of the day, I was told that some use the rice powder both under the foundation and also as the finishing powder.I have horrible acne and this does not aggravate my skin, and still provides decent coverage. I used to have a messy thick layer of liquid foundation on everyday. There I something freeing about switching to the mineral powder - you don't feel so artificial and you're not hiding your skin completely, it can still breathe. Are you going to get full heavy coverage like a liquid - no. however, try it on a weekend or something and ease your way into it daily. I have deep red scars on my cheeks and if it will cover those, I think it will cover nearly anything. good luck!

My absolute favorite foundation. I have tried everything that is out there from liquids, to powders, to minerals, to foams, everything. This is so incredibly awesome I will continue to buy it until they make it. I tried getting different less-expensive mineral foundations but nothing touches the quality and the look of this. It gives your skin a soft looking diffused sheen which makes it look moisturized but not greasy or shiny. It looks very classy and can be layered for a heavier coverage or just dusted for an every day look. I have combination skin and this works perfect and wears almost all day.

This mineral makeup is, by far, THE best on the market. The coverage is exceptional. The first time I came across it was at my hair salon. My young stylist used it, and she was living proof. Her skin and makeup always looked flawless, so I decided to give it a try. Being 'older', I was a bit reluctant, thinking it would make my skin look dry. Not at all. It covered up all my imperfections without having a caked on look. It's like magic. Any pigmentation, freckles, unevenness in tone, all vanish with Youngblood. It works exceptionally well at covering up ACNE so much so that my SON used to ask me to apply it to his face before he went off to school. I once went in to my local spa, walked over to the makeup counter to see if they had any of this type, and they didn't. When the woman at the desk asked if I needed any help, I started to explain that I was looking for a certain type of mineral makeup that they didn't have, and how much I thought it was the best on the market, without giving her the brand name.She then said 'is it youngblood?".. I thought i'd die! I immediately responded by saying a big YES! She said, "I know, but we don't sell it here". I looked everywhere in my area, and couldn't find...so I tried Amazon, and sure enough, they have it!!!!!

Unfortunately, the color range on this product isn't very broad. Their lightest shade, ivory, had a very dark orangey tint on my skin. I normally am either the lightest or second lightest shade for any brand of makeup, and it's uncommon for there to not be a shade fair enough for my skin tone. I can't speak to the quality of the makeup itself though -- I didn't want to look like an orange all day!
