Satin Matte Foundation

I’ve only used this for a week so take this review with a grain of salt, BUT, I am so impressed with Alima Pure Satin Foundation. For the last five years, I’ve struggled with acne along my jawline. It may been part hormonal acne but I was constantly getting cysts, no matter what time of the month and so, I was slathering my face in nars radiant concealer and sheer glow foundation. Well, finally I stumble upon some blog that recommends Alima Pure because it doesn’t contain bismuth oxychloride. So I buy it on a whim. And within one week of trying it (seriously I bought this foundation five days ago), my skin is the clearest it’s been in a decade. I could honestly cry. I will never stop using this product if these results remain. The color is a perfect match (which is hard for me because I am an extremely pale olive tone) and the texture is great. At first I was like, oh no, I look like a bag of powdered sugar but within an hour, the minerals melt into your skin and blend seamlessly. By the end of the day, it absorbs all my oil so I have way less blackheads and way more natural, beautiful skin. To cover my acne scars (which are now disappearing), I tap a little extra powder onto a brush and press it onto my dark spots. I have been getting compliments on my skin all week. Please, if you struggle with acne, breakouts or bad skin, please try this product. Your life will change!

I was an avid BareMinerals user for approximately nine years... until I realized that the additions of Bismuth Oxychloride and Lauroyl Lysine were huge aggressors to my sensitive skin. After I gave BM the boot I was on the hunt for natural mineral makeup without junk in it (Have you seen some of the stuff they put into makeup? Coconut oil?! Are you serious!?) Anyways, I landed on EverydayMinerals first... it was okay. Really nothing to write home about and not much for staying power or finish. So, I took a chance on Alima Pure... and I am astounded!Pros:- Their website is up to snuff. Color descriptions are very helpful and I appreciate that they swatch things next to one another. It’s easy for me to tell which blush/bronzer/ highlight will work best for me when I can see them all together.- Packaging is sleek/clean, not cheap looking. (Yes, this matters to me.)- Color payoff is very good. Shade range is one of the best I’ve seen.- Does not irritate my very finicky sensitive skin.Cons:None so far. I will try to update in 30 days.

I never thought Id say this about a natural, organic foundation, but i get the most compliments when I have just this on my skin. I love the light to medium coverage . Its NOT drying. Feel good about wearing it to the shops on a weekend, since its all pure. If youre unsure about the colour choices , get a shade darker and a shade lighter and mix it up. You wont regret the quantity. I almost dont want to concede to this truth ( probably becauseof all the stupid -expensive foundations I have in my bathroom ) but this is quite possibly my best foundation ever.

This was actually super surprising.. I wear liquid foundation every day, full contour, powder, bronzer, highligher the works and I have always struggled with foundation staying put or clogging my acne prone skin. I used a primer and a illuminating primer on my high points and then applied this and was in shock.. my skin looked glowing and flawless. Highly recommend even if you are prone to dry skin, this looked lovely, i'd just use a hydrating primer to start

This is probably my 5th time ordering my foundation through Amazon. The first time i ordered it directly from the company's site. When i went to reorder ( I waited too long) i needed it right away and it wasn't going to be possible without big shipping fees so when i found them on Amazon i was ecstatic. Free Prime Shipping and within 2 days! Glad it all worked out and so far its proven to be the exact authentic brand i originally ordered. The makeup is buildable Light to Medium coverage and perfect for non toxic makeup! Give them a try! Go to their site and do a color shade matching. I think i ordered the samples to try out shades before i committed to one.

It seems like this will last me for quite a while. One way that it differs from other powder foundations I have tried is that very little needs to be applied. Applying the typical amount would make your face look way too matte. I have tried both this and the pressed powder, and found that they are indistinguishable when applied, but the pressed powder is a little tidier. So between the two, I would recommend the pressed powder, although I don't really have any complaints at all about the loose powder!

I've been using this foundation for around a month now. I wear the Cool 4 and it's almost a perfect match. I did first order several samples of different shades from the Alima Pure website to determine my best match and highly recommend that if you are buying for the first time. I have very oily skin prone to breakouts and with some fine lines. Since switching to Alima Pure, I have way less breakouts. The powder is not super matte, but not too shiny. I do have to blot a few times during the day. The coverage is somewhat sheer but buildable. It doesn't seem to sink into my fine lines or wear away or crease. It's a bit of a pain using a loose powder foundation instead of a pressed powder, but worth it for the gains to my complexion.
