bellapierre Mineral Foundation Stick | Full Coverage Matte Finish | Cruelty Free | Non-Toxic and Paraben Free | Compact Tube – 0.35 Oz – Medium

It’s not full coverage.
The coverage is not full unless you cake it on. I wouldn’t purchase it again. Also it was not the right color for my skin.

Don’t love it, don’t hate it.
“Ok”. Does not appear to be the best for my skin, but makes me question what skin it would be good for. I have normal to dry skin and the stick applies oily. Even when buffing it in when I first apply it, after I finish the rest of the my makeup, I feel like I have to buff it out some more. At the end of the day, I still have decent coverage but I am shiny. I usually use Josie Maran Vibrancy. Also a ‘clean beauty” brand. Not a stick though. It gives me everything I want and more. This does not compare to that in terms of wear, coverage, and how it looks at the end of the day.The stick applies well. I buff it in using a Sephora #66 full coverage brush which is pretty dense and acts like a beauty blender type sponge but in brush format. It buffs in mostly well and smooth. Does not settle into lines. Does not seem to oxidize. It really isn’t the worst I have ever used, I just don’t know that I like dealing with the shine. I question whether this would be good for oily skin.Overall, for me personally, it would be a pass, but for someone with super dry skin, this might work better.

Beautiful packaging- Horrible smell!!!!
The foundation stick arrived nicely packaged and intact. However this stick has been disappointing on all levels for me. I ordered the Light color and found that it has a very yellow undertone. In order to obtain decent coverage I needed two passes of the stick and then blended with a brush. The worst part about this foundation is the horrible smell! I cant even call it a bad scent as its way more than that for me. The make-up smells like crayons to me. After less than an hour I had to wash it off, I couldn’t take it anymore. my two stars are for packaging and the consistency.

Sheer coverage & smooth, satin finish like it claims. Too pricey for what you get
This comes in a ziplock bag. Inside the blush is in an outer product box. The box says this is made in the PRC. It is cruelty free (leaping bunny logo). The ingredients are listed on the box.I’m already a fan of the Bellapierre brand. I tried a few of their eyeshadow palettes a while back and loved them, so I’ve been trying other products from the brand ever since. They haven’t disappointed me yet!This claimed to give SHEER coverage with a smooth, flawless, satin finish. I have normal to dry skin, more on the dry side with some extremely dry areas. So, a lot of stick foundations don’t work well for me. They tend to just make my skin look dry. But, this one seemed like it would be worth a try since it claimed to give a smooth, satin finish. It also claims to be easy to blend, which I also liked since I find some foundation sticks aren’t that easy to blend. So, I was excited to give this a try!It says it is formulated with natural ingredients. The ingredient list is really short – there’s 10 ingredients!I got the shade “Light.” The product photo with the swatches made it seem like it was a fair to light shade that leaned a little warm toned. I have neutral leaning slightly cool skin, but since I am mostly neutral I can usually still wear foundations that lean warm. When I got this and looked at it, it looked more like a light to medium shade that leaned a lot warm. Luckily, it didn’t look as dark on the skin as it did on the stick! I did a swatch on my arm showing the color. The swatch is 2 layers. The only other stick foundation I ever found that I liked on my skin is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear. So, that’s the only foundation stick I had to use to compare shades. I did a swatch of it next to the swatch of the Bellapierre. The Lancôme one is in the shade “110 Ivoire (C).” As you can see in the swatch, the Lancôme one is definitely more neutral leaning cool. It matches my skin well enough, but I do wish it was a tad lighter. Compared to the Bellapierre one, which looks really warm. This Bellapierre one is lighter, but I wish it was a little more neutral.This has a creamy consistency. It glides onto the skin easily. It blends out easily with a sponge or brush. It is definitely sheer coverage like they said. I saw another review claiming that it is not full coverage unless you cake it on, which I thought was a weird complaint since it said it is a sheer coverage foundation.Overall, I think this is a nice foundation stick. It gives sheer coverage like it claims. It goes on smooth like it claims. It claimed to give a satin finish. It isn’t dewy, but it isn’t matte either, so I would agree it’s satin. It is creamy and easy apply and to blend out. It looks nice on my skin. It doesn’t accentuate any dryness at all. You don’t get a lot of product. The box says it’s 10g/0.35 oz. That’s not very much product for a $24.99 foundation. Even though it is easy to apply and blend out and looks nice on the skin, this isn’t something I’d purchase. I’ll use it up for no makeup, makeup days. But, I just think it’s too pricey for what you get. You don’t get much product and it only provides sheer coverage. I can get the same look and coverage from other foundations that are a lot more affordable. If you don’t mind the price and the amount of product you get for it, and you like sheer coverage, then I think you’d be happy with this.
