Pressed mineral foundation

[Taystee]

Does anyone use a good pressed mineral foundation? I usually use loose minerals but am after something less messy (bit clumsy) for holiday. Have heard the bare minerals ready is rubbish. What alternatives are there?

I use Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish. It's solid but it has a little grinder that you turn to produce a little bit of loose powder each time (so not messy). It has just the right coverage for me - not too heavy, but enough to even out the skin tone and get rid of the shine.

I used BM loose for 3 years and disliked it but persisted. This year I've moved to Pur Minerals 4 in 1 pressed and I absolutely love it. The finish is gorgeous, so smooth, forgiving, fab coverage. I can't rate it enough. I do need a bit of finishing powder on the top though (but this is normal for me). You can get PUR minerals in M&S, it's part of their new brought in high end brands
