PurMinerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral make up

PurMinerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral make up Porcelain
This product claims to be your concealer, pressed mineral makeup, finishing powder and SPF, when a product claim so much it can make the mistake of not doing any of the claims well.
I will be reviewing this product as a whole and judging this product in terms of how minerals products should perform. 
I was intrigued by this product because it looked really great on Michelle Phan's videos and also its super easy to apply.

Packaging of the product is really simple and I like the fact there is a mirror in the bottom compartment.

The product is not easily swatched by finger because its best applied with a dense brush (the Chisel brush according to the instructions), I use the Sigma F82 or F84.

When applied on the hand as you can see its a really light coverage and you can definitely see the smooth areas at where I applied it. This product will be great for those who want a even complexion or an all over radiant light coverage, definitely not for those who want full coverage.
It does definitely has the ability of pressed mineral makeup, finishing powder and SPF, but you still need a concealer for areas of undesired pigmentation.

 With the SPF of 15 it does give a white caste in flash.

Pros:
  • Light weight coverage
  • Has SPF, great for outdoors
  • gives an overall glow to complexion
  • oil control
  • don't accentuate pores or fine lines
  • easy to apply
Cons:
  • not very long lasting (~4hours)
  • Packaging is kind of bulky given that I don't use the sponge applicator
  • still cant replace a concealer 
To sum it up, I really enjoy this product for on-the-go fast applications because its easy and fast to apply and you cant really go wrong with it. Also I love the subtle glow that it adds to the complexion, its really a great product for hot summer days where you just want to feel light and fresh.

Until next time, bye.

Love
Nancy
