Pros:

- Only one step
- Smooth
- Covers redness
- Effortless
- Does not cake
- Matte

Cons:

The price. (But at least it works)

Wow. If you're using Bare Minerals - throw it away, keep the brush and try purminerals. It's so easy to apply, only one step and it covers acne and redness while it stays on all day! I love it. Works best with a primer or some light moisturizer before hand.

Pros:

Simple, easy to use
Hides redness/discoloration easily
Looks natural
Matte finish
All-natural, good for skin ingredients
4 products in one compact

Cons:

Price

This is a great product. I went through many trial and errors with drug store foundations. I tried from powders to liquids and nothing seemed to be the one for me. I turned to more high-end cosmetics, which is a shot to the wallet, but I am convinced that it's worth it. This foundation covers what needs to be covered, makes existing acne less noticeable, looks incredibly natural, and is so easy to use. I have noticed an improvement in the way my skin looks and I am so excited to see if it continues to do wonders! I got it at ULTA in a starters kit which has foundation, bronzer, blush, and a brush. I love it and you will too!

Pros:

-great coverage
-hides redness really well
-looks natural, not cakey
-a little goes a long way!
-very light, i cant feel it on!!
-doesnt break me out

Cons:

-expensive, it's a high end brand
-doesnt control shine for very long (i have oily skin)
-i done like their brush, i use ecotools brushes

i really like this! i used to use this daily two years ago, and i switched to bare minerals, hated it, and went back to pur and was so glad. it's very light and it covers very nicely! i've been using it with only moisturizer underneath, and i get shiny within just 2-3 hours. i bought the green pur minerals primer yesterday, i have yet to try it, but i'm hoping it helps! bottom line, this is a great powder for those with acne, it wont aggravate the skin. i just wished it controlled shine a bit better :(

Pros:

Covers severe acne and redness dramatically.

Cons:

None

The green primer is excellent for reducing redness. Followed with the foundation & bronzer. Doesn't cause break outs. I use a bare minerals concealer brush for spots. I used Bareminerals for 5+ years. I couldn't be happier about switching to Pur- the coverage is amazing!

Pros:

Great coverage
Excellent skin-tone match (better than liquid foundations I have used)
Ideal coverage alone but have also used it over liquid foundation
Doesn't make me break out
Also available with SPF

Cons:

Isn't readily available at drug or grocery stores
A little pricey
Travel size that comes with the 4-piece starter kit gets used up quickly!
A little concerned about keeping the brush clean

This is the best foundation I've ever used including liquid and powder foundations. I'd highly recommend trying it-- I bought the four-piece starter kit in order to test the right shade for my skin tone. I have always used heavy amounts of liquid foundation in order to conceal my acne and to combat mid-day oil and shine, but Pur Minerals is good at making my skin look clear and stay clear, and keeps shine to a minimum.

Pros:

Easy and quick to apply, good coverage, doesn't break me out, love the way it feels.

Cons:

None really- I worry about keeping the brush clean.

Best foundation I've tried in a while. Doesn't cake or dry out like other mineral powders and isn't messy.

Pros:

Excellent medium coverage for acne and scarring, not as messy as the other well-known brand, matte finish, easy to apply, works as foundation and concealer (use chisel brush to apply as foundation and utility brush to cover small, problem areas), looks and feels natural, has SPF 15, free of alcohol, talc, fillers, fragrance, parabens, etc.

Cons:

Not as good on dry skin, relatively expensive ($25), can only get at ULTA

I went to ULTA to try the new Bare Minerals Matte makeup for my 14-yr-old daughter, who has moderate acne. We had been using the original Bare Minerals for some time. They were sold out of the color we needed, but an employee approached us and asked if we had tried Pur Minerals. It was on sale. She promised that the coverage was better and that it was a matte finish. She sat my daughter down and removed her makeup, and then re-applied with Pur Minerals 4-in-1 pressed powder. I was blown away by the difference in coverage. She has only been using it for a week, but so far it is not breaking her out, and in fact her skin looks better than ever. I have tried it on my older, drier skin and it does not look as good. I may try it again with a better moisturizer. My dd has oily, acne-prone skin and she uses Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel before we apply her makeup. We are very, very happy with this product.
