Mineral foundations are my favorite, easy way to create a polished even look on my skin. I’ve raved about Bare Minerals foundation in the past and it is still a product I reach for when I want a little SPF protection topped off with a lightly finished look. So of course I was curious about the Bare Minerals Ready foundation when it came out. It is a traditional powder in a compact form and I wanted to see if the coverage was similar. It is definitely easier to apply, but I found that it almost went on too easily and could be heavy in some areas (it was definitely heavier on my forehead). I still have it and use it, but am not sure I love it. But it is a product with natural ingredients and SPF ingredients so I’ll let you decide then!

I like the sound of SPF, and I think Bare Minerals provide the best coverage of all mineral make up out there. The price is high but it’s worth it.
i have not tried this version of their foundation, but i just got their concealer and love it
I used to LOVE Bare Minerals, till I needed to cut back on my spending =-(
P.S. Please go check out my latest post, all about Repreve!
I don’t wear foundation because I find it too heavy but it’s nice that there are more like this on the market now that feature natural ingredients.

I love mineral foundations, too!
The powder never worked for me, because it didn’t provide enough coverage so I may give this a go. Great review.

I can’t wait to try this!
Since I am a powder user, the idea of having the SPF built in and not needing an extra step sounds great to me. did you find it to be hydrating like the claims?
Have never tried this before, but it looks great & I like trying new stuff. Might give it a shot :)) Super doll xx
I love full coverage compact powders, so this might be my next choice… Thanks dear!
Love,

ooh thank you for this review. i’m always looking at powders and never know what to get!
Phiphi, I’m a total Bare Minerals girl! I’d definitely recommend their matte mineral foundation and this ready one is good if you want more coverage!
