Pür Cosmetics Bare It All 4in1 Skin Perfecting Foundation

Pur Cosmetics is a new brand to me, new in that I have been playing around with it for quite a few months and now I find that I need everything they do, a simple walk round Marks and Spencers for example could leave me bankrupt.

One product I have really, really loved using is the Dare to go bare with the Pür Cosmetics Bare It All 4in1 Skin Perfecting Foundation. It is everything I should dislike but is infact just beautiful and I am sure from the description, it would make you want to try it:

Skin is the sexiest part of the body and this high performance, 12-hour demi-matte foundation helps to cover imperfections and instantly perfect the skin while helping to correct problem areas over time so you can confidently bare it all. Designed for face and body and formulated with PÜR’s proprietary Energy Complex and Ceretin® Complex, this formula renews the look of your skin and goes the distance. It will not fade, quit or crumble under any condition you may face throughout your day.

The PUR Cosmetics Bare It All is as the description states, a 12 hour 4-in-1 demi-matte foundation which claims to cover imperfections and instantly perfect the skin. In doing that it attempts to help correct those pesky problem areas over time so that you can confidently bare it all. I have made no secret of the fact I have red patches on both cheeks, they tend to flare up when I am stressed, during that time of the month or due to seasonal changes and whilst part of me has just learnt to live with it, but, there are times when I just want to cover them up.

The foundation is available in 6 shades, I have got the shade Porcelain which is the lightest of the 6 and is described as being for fair skin with golden undertones. Next is Light - Ivory, beige skin tones followed by Blush Medium which is for Medium beige with pink undertones, Golden Medium which is a medium beige with yellow undertones, Light Tan for olive skin with yellow undertones and finally Tan which is described as being for Medium tan with rosy undertones.  So I think there is a good range of shades available.

The formula was the testing point for me, I like my foundations to not be overly thick and this one is quite a thick formula but rather than leaving my skin feeling caked and unable to breathe, it is instead really lightweight and I love how it feels on the skin.  Given it is quite thick, you literally need a small amount to cover your face but one word of advice in that it does set quickly and it does last pretty much all day too.  I have combination skin which leaves me with an oily t-zone but a slight dryness to the cheeks, but I have found that this foundation neither slips or sticks and it uses, what are referred to as 'Age-defying ingredients like Ceretin Complex®, combined with good-for-your-skin antioxidants' each of PÜR’s products corrects and perfects the skin.

The brush that accompanied this foundation and the one I use to apply it is the PUR Skin Perfecting Foundation Brush.

It is a large, thick handled oval brush which is so incredibly soft and smooth, it is full of cruelty free, synthetic micro fibre bristles which are really dense and blend the foundation so effortless onto the skin. This is quite possibly the best Oval Brush that I have tried to date too, it is study, it doesn't bend when you use it and I just really, really like it.
