For starters: I am not a makeup guru or serious collector. My makeup review is based on ‘daily’ natural makeup wearing.

I have been using this mineral foundation for a few months now. There are things I like and dislike about it. I will first start by saying that I personally believe the price you pay for makeup does not determine it’s quality or that you will like it. With that being said, I think this makeup is too expensive for it’s price tag. The mineral makeup foundation is $64.99 and the powder brush is $29.99. My foundation color I bought is ‘Nutmeg’ because I purchased this during the summer and I had a fairly dark skin tone. Meaning, to be able to wear this year round I had to maintain a good tan.

Pros:

• Despite the color being so dark, this makeup blends well. I think other colors in this mineral foundation would blend well too (assuming you have good practice in blending your foundation when you apply it).
• The foundation lasts a long time! I have been using this for over 6 months and it barely looks like I have used any. A little bit of this goes a long way. I learned that after my first few times applying the foundation. Using too much gives a really bad blending job, as well as the fact that I looked completely orange.
• The powder brush holds the foundation powder very well. I like taking the brush and dabbing it into the foundation, then tapping the brush upside down. This makes the powder go more into the brush and makes the foundation blend better.

Cons:

• Belle Pierre Mineral Foundation is not the best summer time makeup choice. If you think you’re going to get sweaty, do not attempt to wear this foundation. I have had bad results with this. It comes off terribly and also makes your face blotchy if you have a dark color such as the one I purchased.
• It stains clothes! I love shopping and trying on clothes. Little did I know, as I was trying on this cute top, I realized I had accidentally stained it. The color was orangish, and it was then that I realized it was my makeup. After accidentally staining my own clothes, I have now learned it’s easily removable with product like Shout stain remover.
• Although their website says the powder brush is made with 100% natural hair, I doubt it. It is not really soft, and honestly feels rough as I apply foundation on my face. The bristles also fall out occasionally.
• Don’t drop the foundation container or keep it in a makeup bag. As with any mineral foundation like this, the powder easily seeps through the holes of the container too quickly and when you go to open it, you could make a huge mess. Considering it stains clothes, I made sure not to make this mistake.

Overall, Belle Pierre Cosmetics in my own opinion were average. The description of this product on their company website store states that this is a “5-in-1″ foundation, meaning it contains the concealer, foundation, setting powder, etc. However, I believe it does not cover blemishes well and the use of concealer helps. If I consider wearing this makeup vs. not wearing any makeup, it’s significantly different (in a good way). However, for the price, I would recommend buying another brand. Many other cosmetic brands offer the same quality as these products at considerably lower prices.
