Cheaper alternative to bareMinerals Original Foundation Powder?

[theemmadilemma]

Just that really, at £28 a pop I seem to get through one a month.

Is there a good but cheaper alternative to bareMinerals Original Foundation Powder?

Lilylolo is good.

One a month I have rosacea use it nearly everyday and go through one a year. Are you using the lose powder or the set one. I had the set powder once and went through it really quickly.

On another note do you find the brushes to hard I want one slightly softer in fairness I've had mine for about 5 years but don't want to spend £25 on a make up brush when in reality if it lasts as long is a good buy.

Have a look at QVC, there’s sometimes some really good offers

One a month?

Are you applying too much instead of buffing it in more?
Also, which brush are you using? Eg. For full coverage you'd be best using a kabuki brush than the flawless face ones that often come in kits.

Their complexion rescue tinted cream is great underneath or on its own for light coverage.
Their nighttime powder treatment is also great and reduces the amount of makeup needed the next day.

QVC is great for deals, but I find I end up with loads of mineral veil. They seem to whack it in every kit.

I know they're not alternatives, but I'm not a Bare Minerals rep really. I just need to get out more and sorry if youve already tried them

I buy it from Ebay but you have to have a good eye to spot the fakes as I've been caught out once before. Compare your genuine pot with the pictures on the advert. If there are no pictures of the back then ask seller to upload them.
I pay about £8-£12 per pot on average.

I absolutely swear by this, the coverage amazing.

I would thoroughly recommend Lily Lolo.

@LolaSmiles Yes using a kabuki brush. Maybe I'm piling it on too much, perhaps one a month is a bit of an over estimate, but not far off.

I have ordered a new brush though as to be fair mine is a bit rough now.

I was weighing up options and happened to be in Primark today. I figured for £2, I might as well try their bareMinerals copy. I have to say I can't see much difference myself. I'm pretty happy. I got two colours so I can mix if needed, but so far the toffee is working well on my current skin colour - had some sun.
