I have oily and the 4in1 works amazing for me. The oil makes it look as if you're wearing nothing and you just have flawless skin.I do think it works best for oily skin. Nice video 😊
I'm an oily skinned lady myself, & I purchased this product 5 times in my life. I brought this product on a cruise trip to Alaska. One day, I just used this product only, & a cruise photographer took a picture of me. When I saw my picture, my skin looked like I didn't have any make-u on & no flashback.
I've bought this fairly regularly since 2005 I'm an oily combo skin...my forehead gets oily more with this one I get the best coverage using it with a velvet puff...but then it runs out too quickly. Bare minerals is way too shiny on me unfortunately. Pur is great as a setting powder with coverage over liquid in the evening
I agree with you about disliking powder foundations. I do use the Becca powder foundation at the end of a long day when I need a touch up - just a light dusting works great!
I pack this one on with a powder puff on top of a bit of concealer. I found it very longwearing but a bit powdery looking (not as much as matte powders, it's still a satin finish); that said at the end of the day it looked very good. The only thing is that liquids look a lot more skin like.
Hi! Been using Pur for years. I chose it over Bare Minerals because I have sensitive oily skin and BM used to include an irritant. This 4 in 1 works best on normal to oily and is light to medium coverage. It looks best over a slightly matte primer and minimal color correcting or concealing. It works better with powder products. This isn't the right product for someone used to full coverage or normal to dry skin. Cool that you tried it though!
I like this product. I'm going to try it over the PUR 4 in 1 tinted moisturizer which has good reviews and it reported to be a little tacky. Maybe those two together will work really well. I'm also going to compare this one to the Maybelliene Fit me! powder which is very pigmented and has a smoother feel to it. To me, the PUR has a grainy feel to it, but, if that's the only con to it, that's good enough for me.
Thank you...I am afraid it would be boring...it's only two colors. lol. It's the Gold color from the Natasha Denona #4 5 pan palette, and then a brownish color form my Violet Voss Palette. xoxoxo
Clinique Beyond Perfecting Powder Foundation is the only powder foundation that has worked for me. Awesome coverage, does not look powdery and very reasonably priced. Try it, you won't be disappointed. I'm 50, btw.
I didn't know there was retinol in it!😅 When you said it looked the best after you worked out, thats the same for me!! 😯 but we probably sweat some of it off, I'd guess like 20%. I probably won't try another powder either. My dry-combo skin just isn't the best type for this product.
I've always wanted to love powder foundation but have similar issues. Well at least I'm not alone in this. Thanks for the review. Happy early birthday. 🎉
I tried this (golden medium) after watching this video. I have mixed nasty skin, oil, dry, rosacea & dermatitis. Have been using Mally & Bare minerals to cover all my nasties. I have to only apply very little of the product! Great coverage and it looks so natural on me. So I have oily & dry and LOVE this product!
Happy Birthday!!!! My daughter's is on the 7th! I don't care for powder foundations at all and I'm oily. I do have this foundation and it's really kind of "crappy".... You've got to try the new La Mer foundation......OMG......I got a sample last week and it is soooooo beautiful. It had good coverage and didn't settle in pores or lines also lasted all day...Out of my many many foundations I can almost say it's number 1!
Thank you! And yes....I plan on getting the LaMer foundation for sure! Everything I have seen on it looks like it is right up my alley! Can't wait to try.
This has been very helpful. I have normal-dry skin so I won't be purchasing this. I like the it cosmetics celebration foundation illumination or the Laura geller balance and brighten foundation paired with bare minerals complexion rescue for quick makeup/natural days.
I enjoyed your video and I felt the color match was right on. It couldn't have matched any more perfect to your skin. I think this powder is best used as a light setting powder. I agree with you when you say you just might not like powder foundations. Lol.
I haven't tried this one, but my skin HATES powder foundation right now. I used to use IT Cosmetics powder foundation ALL the time (for quick makeup days) and now it looks horrid! Guess my skin is just changing...AKA getting OLD, haha!
Just got this in the Ulta sale. It is weird. Similar to your experience where later in the day it had definitely melted into the skin, cakes easily. Kinda like it, kinda hate it. But I think for a light dusting over a bb cream, might be good? Think I'll keep it & mess w/ it some. Does look pretty from here on you.
You look like a doll with no makeup..... so gorgeous you are....I think the Pur looked great on you....except for forehead and you needed lil more color it was light.
You need to use the correct brush to apply this . Your brush was not condensed enough . The bare minerals brush isnt suitable .I have used bare minerals and pur minerals 4 in 1 .Pur minerals has more coverage and after you have worn it for about 30 minutes to an hour it melts into your skin. You dont need all that other stuff on your skin. It sets itself .It does treat your skin .It truly does do all things . I have tried other make ups but I always come back to this one. I stress again the correct application brush is key to success. I am wearing Pur minerals in my photo and always get compliments on my beautiful skin which makes me laugh .It's not perfect but Pur minerals is.
Happy Happy Birthday! This looked beautiful on u, really. Liked it much better than the Bareminerals on u. Mineral foundations are tricky..hv to find the right primer and brush. My favorite is loose Laura Mercier and I apply 1 color first and then a different color on top of that using my Tarte brush that came with their original creamy foundation 5 years ago. Bristles are short and brush top is round. I don't hv to buff much and it feels creamy on my skin. But, before that routine, I had used it with a different primer for years...then it stopped looking good until I found the,current routine. I love it for the hot humidity where I live and it does well when I sweat so much. You may just be a liquid gal....and that's okay. :-)
That's awesome you found such a great routine! And you are right...I love makeup so much that I want everything to work for me, but that just isn't ever going to happen; and I am just a liquid girl...through and through. Thanks for watching! xoxo
It seems the redness started with the buffing.thankyou for review. At 36 I feel like all powder foundations look terrible on me,although I am curious abou IT Cosmetics powder foundation. If you ever get it I would trust your review. I really enjoy your videos. 😊
would you say that GOLDEN medium kept the peachy tone even once on your face ? i am really struggling to find a shade in this range which goes towards a yellowish tone :/
Itching is usually an indication of an allergy to an ingredient. I am wondering if there is a consistent ingredient in powder foundations that you can't tolerate.
Hi there! New subscriber here and love your videos..I have been binge watching! I am 50 and have dry skin. I usually hate powder foundations. I I don't like Bare minerals at all. I like It cosmetics and I do like this one. The thing is I only like it using the Pur minerals brush to apply this. I know that sounds weird but I get full coverage with a lot less product. If I use any other brushes it never works for me and I get the same issues as you and also feel it looks caked. I do love liquid foundations more but I like to use this on " get out the door quickly days". I have " sun spots" and a few fine lines under my eyes and forehead. I always use a colour correcting primer under this. I just tried the It Cosmetics powder foundation and am liking it. . Love that you give honest reviews!!!
Thanks so much Cathy! I have had the IT powder foundation forever and have yet to try it. I think I have had such bad luck I am scared, but I do need to give it a go!
Oh goodness...it really depends on what kind of skin you have and what kind of finish you like. Right now my three faves are the ByTerry Hyalaronic Hydra Blur Powder, the Urban Decay Naked Skin Loose Powder, and the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder. :)
Mandy Davis MUA Thanks for your quick response. I was going to buy the Charlotte Tilbury powder but never did. Might just give it a go as have heard good things about it Thanks for the suggestions and great video as always. It is after midnight and since I am a new subscriber I got carried away watching your videos but might have to get some sleep as have work in the morning.
Powder foundations generally look terrible on my skin. The only one I've found that I like is one by Shiseido, which I saw on The Very French Girl's channel. Oh, and Casper the Friendly Ghost is my everyday shade! :)
Thanks for making this video! I agree with your review. Everyone raves about this powder but it applies horribly on my oily skin. It's unbelievably cakey, patchy and drying. It highlights fine lines that I didn't know I had and only provided sheer to light coverage. I haven't used a powder that was this bad before. So disappointing :(
Well, I am glad to know I am not alone in my feelings of this powder. I feel like you either love it or hate it...not many in betweens that I have seen.
So true. Before I came across your video I thought I was the only one who had a negative experience with this powder. Thanks for giving such a detailed and honest review, really enjoyed your video :) *subscribed*
I think you prefer a polished, generally "made-up" look on an every day basis, because you're a makeup artist and your look is an ad for what you do. I think powder foundation is often for people who don't really want to wear much makeup, and that just isn't you, lol. It just isn't going to give any coverage unless you cake it on and most people don't wear powder foundation for a lot of coverage. I used to like powder foundation, the Kanebo Sensai Total Finish that I would get at Barneys, but it's been long discontinued. So anyway, I never understood the whole "mineral" makeup thing, like what is that? And I also never understood "buffing in" your foundation - to me, that's just rubbing off any coverage you've put on. Maybe it's incorrect, but I stipple or pat on my foundation and use less product where I want less coverage.
Oh, I am totally with you on me wanting a "made up" look on the daily...I just wish there were powder foundations that provided coverage without looking powdery and patching off. :(
I hate reviews or tutorials that show the product mentioned but not the rest of the look. I clicked on you as apposed to the others reviewing this foundation because I wanted to see your full look. 😩
DANIELLE FRANCK sorry about that. I put alot of time and energy into my reviews trying to make them as extensive as possible about the actual product I am referring to, so I try and focus only on that product and leave the full looks to my tutorials and grwm videos.
I recently discovered this product and absolutely love it. I find that it blurs my skin very beautifully.
I came here looking for a review of this foundation and am mesmerized by your skin! It’s so stunning and flawless!
I have oily and the 4in1 works amazing for me. The oil makes it look as if you're wearing nothing and you just have flawless skin.I do think it works best for oily skin. Nice video 😊
So glad it works for you! And good to know that it works on oily skin. That may have been my issue. :) Thanks for watching!

This 4 in 1 by pur is one of my favorite foundations. So quick and easy smoothing out texture and unevenness on my mature skin.
I've bought this fairly regularly since 2005 I'm an oily combo skin...my forehead gets oily more with this one I get the best coverage using it with a velvet puff...but then it runs out too quickly. Bare minerals is way too shiny on me unfortunately. Pur is great as a setting powder with coverage over liquid in the evening
I agree with you about disliking powder foundations. I do use the Becca powder foundation at the end of a long day when I need a touch up - just a light dusting works great!
I'll have to look into that, but I agree...I LOVE my MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation for touch ups...one of my faves!
I pack this one on with a powder puff on top of a bit of concealer. I found it very longwearing but a bit powdery looking (not as much as matte powders, it's still a satin finish); that said at the end of the day it looked very good. The only thing is that liquids look a lot more skin like.

You are definitely not alone, and thank you!
I love this mineral foundation. I have combo but occasional dehydrated skin. I also love Sephora micro smooth baked foundation...
I have heard a lot of good things about the Sephora one!
Thank you for your review. I use to use the youngblood pressed foundation. It was amazing!! Then my skin started to mature and it showed my wrinkles.
I tried this (golden medium) after watching this video. I have mixed nasty skin, oil, dry, rosacea & dermatitis. Have been using Mally & Bare minerals to cover all my nasties. I have to only apply very little of the product! Great coverage and it looks so natural on me. So I have oily & dry and LOVE this product!
So glad you are loving it!!!
YOUR LASHES!!!!!! 😍

Oh I feel you on that! My skin is changing by the day...I feel like it's all downhill after 35. LOL
Just got this in the Ulta sale. It is weird. Similar to your experience where later in the day it had definitely melted into the skin, cakes easily. Kinda like it, kinda hate it. But I think for a light dusting over a bb cream, might be good? Think I'll keep it & mess w/ it some. Does look pretty from here on you.
Thank you! I do think it works better to set than it does as an actual foundation.
You look like a doll with no makeup..... so gorgeous you are....I think the Pur looked great on you....except for forehead and you needed lil more color it was light.

Maribel Roos May I ask what brush do you use with your 4in1? Thanks!!!

Thanks so much! I have heard good things about the IT, so I may have to give it a shot eventually. :)
Do you think it would be good as a setting powder?
I don't know honestly. Maybe, but it may be too cakey. I just have so many other setting powders I love that I doubt this could compare. :(
would you say that GOLDEN medium kept the peachy tone even once on your face ? i am really struggling to find a shade in this range which goes towards a yellowish tone :/
Hey Cristina, I do find that it kept that tone...it didn't go pink at all on me at least. :)
great then, thank you very much
Looks really nice
Good morning - I've been curious as to why I crazily ITCH when perspiring using a powder foundation?
Itching is usually an indication of an allergy to an ingredient. I am wondering if there is a consistent ingredient in powder foundations that you can't tolerate.
@@MandyDavisMUA , I'm thinking the same thing... Any powder foundation I use causes the itching - especially if I sweat...
BTW, thank you so much for responding to my question - many beauty UA-camrs do NOT respond to others ..

I have combo skin with large pores and texure, and I hate bareminerals powder foundation so so much😂
Hi from the UK. In your opinion what is the best setting powder out at the moment? Have tried so many but haven't found one I really like
Oh goodness...it really depends on what kind of skin you have and what kind of finish you like. Right now my three faves are the ByTerry Hyalaronic Hydra Blur Powder, the Urban Decay Naked Skin Loose Powder, and the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder. :)

Omg, you're so pretty without makeup!! You could just go bare faced, your eyes are amazing 😉
Well, you are sweet. Thank you!
I have this foundation and i dont like it either. its very noticeable on the face and not much converage at all. :/
Agreed. So sad I didn't like it more. :(
I love liquid foundations for myself, it looks good on camera!
Thanks!!
I thought this was supposed to be creamy enough for mature skin
I never did like this product. So many better powder foundations out there. Shiseido Perfect Smoothing powder is great.
Oh, you know I love Shiseido...will have to check that out. :)
Mandy Davis MUA it goes on so creamy too. Full coverage. I think we wear similar shades and I have I40.
I hate reviews or tutorials that show the product mentioned but not the rest of the look. I clicked on you as apposed to the others reviewing this foundation because I wanted to see your full look. 😩

i really did not like it either it has retinol and sunscreen not a good combo
Why is retinol and sunscreen not a good combo? I didn't know that it was bad
hey hey
Thanks so much!
Looks better than liquids 😀
Happy early birthday!
Thank you!!
Love your videos :)
Thank you so much!
