Ok, so be nice, takes a lot of guts to load a picture of oneself without makeup. I had to find an old one, but it establishes the coloring of my skin, the redness and the breakouts. Now, I orders the lightest one, full coverage and well it is! It works, and the ingredients list was amazing, just mineral powders, nothing else. My circles are dark, I added no other coverup, just my blush bronzer, and a setting spray with dewy effect. I’ve had a cold, but you can not see the redness or rawness in my nose. I have some red scarring from a breakout, but you ca not see it. I’m 45 years old, I have wrinkles, large pores, but it does not magnify them. So pretty amazing stuff, that I have already told my friend about. I do recommend this, I believe you will be pleased with the product as well. Read more

Bought the Ivory shade, it was too dark and yellow, so I bought Ultra and it was too pale. So I just ended up mixing the two and it turned out great for someone who is not VERY pale, but fairer than light/medium.. I hope you understand Read more

I love Bellapierre makeup! I have been exclusively using their foundation, bronzers, blush for over 8 years. Their face makeup is cleaner than all mainstream products (cleaner than bare minerals even), and won’t cause break outs. I’ve had severe cystic acne since I was 12 so a face product that doesn’t create or cause more breakouts is #1 for me. It goes on light and can easily be layered. It creates a nice and smooth texture while also looking very clean and natural and blends perfect. I use two different sister shades of foundation but even with one it goes a long way! One thing that can make a big difference for you is that the pressed powder of the same shade is slightly different than the loose version (sometimes darker for pressed but depends on the shade) so that’s the only thing to be mindful of.

I love this stuff. I have very red skin and usually need full-coverage foundation to hide it. I found this on Groupon and bought the trial kit when my sensitive skin was needing a lighter option on bad days. It covers very well, stays on (as long as I’m not heavily sweating), and doesn’t irritate my skin.My tips for application:Moisturize beforehand! It has a slight sheen, which can make imperfections look larger. As long as I moisturize, it sits nicely on my skin.Also, use a mattifying powder on top to minimize the above-mentioned issue or if you find it looks too shiny.Lastly, it’s messy. It’s loose powder, what can you expect? However, I personally feel like loose powder covers better and is easier to apply and manage. I just make sure to apply before I put my clothes on and do it over the sink so I can wipe it down afterwards. Read more

My wife has me order this from Amazon. She has sensitive skin and likes this product because she doesn't get any irritation. I just asked her and she stated "It's the best mineral makeup out there". There. Her opinion. I can't give an opinion because I don't use makeup. I've been told I'm a natural. Read more

The first photo is ivory on the top and biscotti on the bottom indoors. The second photo is the same outdoors in natural sunlight. The colors are a bit off. For being a “light and neutral” tone, biscotti is quite dark compared to the model. I hope this helps. Makeup online is tough to get i the right shade. I would have to say you really have to pack it on to get coverage. Read more

I’m a fairly pale girl and I usually go for ivory or porcelain shades in foundation. I got ivory despite the numerous reviews stating how yellow it is. I should have listened! It’s beyond yellow- it’s borderline orange. I wish it was more cool toned because it is really full coverage and lightweight. I had a little bit of irritation just due to the fact that my skin is super sensitive when trying new things. It usually adjusts. Will return. I might opt for Ultra next. I’d rather be too pale than orange!Update: I got Ultra and have been using it for a week or so now. It’s lightweight but full coverage. The color is actually perfect. It makes my skin look smooth and healthy and it stays all day without much creasing. You definitely have to set it with a setting spray. Overall pleased. Read more

I have been using this product for over 6 years now. I hope it never goes off the market! It works great with my skin. I have combination skin. My skin is also prone to acne. I have to be very careful what I put on my face. It has not cause me to break out and my skin looks better after using it. Maybe it's the zinc oxide? If you get acne, I highly recommend this product. Make sure to moisturize before putting it on your face and after washing it off. This will help prevent your skin from becoming too dry. I also take a small piece of tissue paper and dab gently on my skin after putting on the moisturizer. This will help remove excess moisturizer. This can also be done throughout the day if your skin gets oily like mine. Read more

I've tried loads of different loose mineral foundations so I'm coming from this off the likes of Inika, bare minerals, zao, Alima Pure, Everyday Minerals, Lily Lolo. I got an amazon gift voucher or else I'd never have paid the price (exceedingly poor at the mo)Very impressed with it. It's very finely milled equal to Inika, and has no suspicious ingredients. It sits beautifully on my skin all day and doesn't move or wear off through the day.As far as shade goes, I am very pale olive with a yellow undertone, and tan olive neutral in summer, so I thought Ivory would be best but it's very yellow and too dark for my winter skin, so I've just ordered Ultra which I will mix with Ivory for my winter colour. It's incredibly difficult for me to get a good colour match from any company but I was a little disappointed with Belle pierre's colour range. I will buy again but only if my financial situation improves lolOh forgot to mention that I've taken a star off not because of the product's quality but because it's in a plastic pot and I'm trying ever so hard to turn the plastic tap off (failing miserably) Read more

I've been a long time user of Estee lauder Doublewear. I've suffered from acne most of my life and needed a heavy foundation to cover my blemishes. Recently I became suspicious that my foundation was exasperating my skin problems so I decided to switch to something new. I chose Bellapierre on a whim when my local TK Maxx had a trial pack on sale. The difference in the condition of my skin since using this make up has been amazing. I still get spots but nowhere near as bad as before, and the way you can build coverage with this powder means when I do get a blemish I don't need to use a separate concealer. The only downsides is that I have very oily skin and this make up doesn't control it well - a trip to the bathroom during the day to touch up my face is often necessary. Secondly I find mineral make up to be a bit messy - gets everywhere when I'm doing my make up in the morning. Small price to pay for clear skin though! Read more

Bought this 6 months ago in Amstersdam on my travels and it's been used every day since. It is just running very low now so bought a new one.I have had so many compliments on my skin since; I've used it everyday and my skin can be oily and senstive but this has been great. I have been told how good my skin looks and how good I look. Well worth the investment. Read more

I have tried Bare minerals foundation but even their foundation with 'yellow / golden undertones' still look pink against my skin. And I was tried with the shade warm tan and warm dark, I simply looked ashy in it.I came across bellapierre on makeupalley.com and the reviews there was what prompted me to get bellapierre. I'm in the shade brown sugar and the best makeup I have ever bought. I have oily skin and this has never broken me out.Don't be put off by the price. I bought my first bellapierre foundation 28/11/2011 and just finished it 20/09/2012. It is worth the money and the product doesn't expire until (I think) 36 months after opening it. Just ordered my second batch, looking forward to my lifelong relationship with bellapierre. Read more

I've tried other brands, including Bare Minerals and GOSH, and have come back the bellapierre. The colour Ivory is just perfect for my slightly yellow-undertoned pale skin. Bare Minerals Golden Fair is still too pinky, GOSH is too pink or too dark, and I've found Lily Lolo a bit matte and "flat" for my age of skin (would probably suit a younger wearer). Difficult to get hold of in the UK - Amazon has the best availability and price most of the time. Read more
