KmS Mineral Essentials Mineral Foundation Review.

This product was sent to me for review purposes. (see bottom of post for full disclosure)

Hi guys. 
So I'm not gonna lie here...I have been putting this review off for a long time. I hate doing negative reviews. Though in reality this one isn't totally negative. I did find a use for this product that makes it work alright for me, but it sadly didn't work for me as it was supposed to...but enough of that lets get into what I'm talking about here.

Todays review is of the KmS Mineral Essentials mineral foundation. This is a loose mineral foundation. The texture of it is a very finly milled powder. I am in the color porcelin. It is a very fair shade with neutral undertones. Now I love the way the color matches me, but I had some very unexpected problems with this foundation, most mineral foundations that I have tried blend into the skin and make it look flawless, this one literally sat on top of my skin and looked like I had just dumped powder on my face. My 8 year old niece even asked me if I had put powder on my face when I first put it on...that is a huge draw back for me, when I wear a mineral foundation I want it to look like skin, but covered. That draws me to my next issue with this, its supposed to be a high coverage mineral foundation, and I found no matter how much I used, it didn't cover any of my redness on my skin, again when I wear mineral foundation I want it to cover, doesn't have to cover 100% but I feel it should cover some of it at least, and this didn't. 
So after I tried it that first day, I just put it off to the side for a few days. I was so disappointed. But a few days later, I decided to try and figure a different way to use it, so I tired it as a setting powder that would give me some extra coverage over my skin79 oriental gold bb cream. Lo and behold, it actually worked for me better that way! gave me a great medium coverage on my skin for those days I don't want to wear as much makeup on my face. It still looked alittle powdery, but not as bad as when I used it straight on my skin. With alittle bit of fix plus sprayed on it looked pretty okay. For me it just works better as a setting powder than a mineral foundation.
Again I am sorry for not having any pictures, but I was so frustrated I forgot to take some. :(


So there is my review of the KmS Mineral Essentials Foundation. 

Much Love,
Tricia
