Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Liquid Mineral Foundation, Golden Sun (Old Version) | Full Coverage Mineral Lightweight Makeup | Vegan, Cruelty Free, Paraben Free

I first started using this product a few years ago. It was an excellent product that lasted for a really, really good while, which kind of makes the price okay. After I ran out, I tried using other products, however, nothing was as light yet provided good coverage as this one. 'Sand' is the one that matches my skin tone, and I don't know if it's that, but I have never used anything that looked as natural. I actually got this particular one for my aunt because she was super impressed when she tried on mine. This is by far the best liquid foundation I've used, and I've tried a lot. I use the matching face powder for finish, but this product also works very well on its own. A little goes a long way. I have used it almost daily for a year, and I'm only halfway through, which breaks my heart a little seeing as the shelf life is only 12 months.

COLOR MATCHING: I ordered "Shell" because I'm pale with yellow undertones. Pretty damn good color matching! Like the best I've ever tried. Very pleasantly surprised. I actually used the Youngblood website to reference the foundation colors. So, if you're not sure, I suggest going there. Revlon 150 Buff has been the next closest color match, for reference. So if you've used that, you'll really like Shell. COVERAGE: It is a very light formula, like a thin spread.. so if you have a serious break out, maybe try using a concealer? I haven't tried using a concealer yet. I just apply a little more foundation in those areas and let it dry. I'm coming out of a break-out, so I don't really have a lot of raised acne or extremely irritated skin right now. Definitely have red patches though. Once I apply the Youngblood mineral powder on top, it looks perfectly fine. I also use the Youngblood contour powder kit. Even after all that, I don't feel like I'm wearing a mask. That is to say, my skin can actually breath a little more. I've read from some other customers that the authentic one is thicker, and this one has been watered down. I really can't verify or deny that claim. APPLICATION: I tried using a foundation brush, but it was kinda streaky. I had much better results with my fingers and a beauty blender. I would recommend a beauty blender. Like I said, it is on the thinner side, so it favors more of a natural look, which is honestly great. However, if you also wanted to do a full face, you absolutely can. You can build up the product. Use your powder. Contour. Highlight. LONGEVITY: My skin is suuuuper oily, so if I'm not using a matte-specific formula, I have to use a matte primer or matte setting spray. SKIN REACTION: I was kind of amazed to see how "chill" my skin was after washing it off. I've used Revlon and CoverGirl on and off (periods of wearing or not wearing make up) for a couple years now, and every time I've washed my face I could see how angry, inflamed, and irritated my skin was after doing so - even causing same-day breakouts. Needless to say, putting on makeup became a necessity and torture. After washing the Youngblood Foundation off, my skin actually looked smoother! And it was not inflamed. Like... what? How have gone this long without trying mineral foundation? SUMMARY: I bought these products as a first-time buyer after researching different brands, and reading customer reviews. I was prepared to be extremely disappointed because you really never know.. but I've experienced quite the opposite. Yay! The ONLY other product I swear by is Lush's Color Supplement liquid/creme pot in Light Yellow. That has never ever caused breakouts and also matches my skin perfectly. So, I'm hoping this line of products will be equally promising. I haven't used it long enough to be sure, but I have a good feeling. Feeling good enough to write a premature review. You get way more product in here than you would in a lush pot. Treat yo self grl. <3

I've been using youngblood for years. It is by far the best liquid foundation out there. I used to use bareminerals, and I love that product too, I think it's great, but I wanted to stop using brushes. I'm not good at cleaning them frequently and I thought that the brushes might have been contributing to my breakouts. I'll say that since using the youngblood liquid mineral foundation my skin has been a lot better, I think other changes I've made have contributed too but I do think it has been beneficial for my skin to stop using dirty brushes to apply my makeup. I apply it with my fingertips like lotion. Their primer is really great too. super silky. but it goes on great without it. I love that it is so light. you don't feel like you are wearing makeup at all. I've always hated makeup that feels cakey… or makeup that you can feel that you are wearing at all. I set this with a little bit of compressed powder too - you don't need much though. I religiously wash my face before I go to bed, but occasionally I'm to tired, and don't and I don't feel guilty for not washing my face because this stuff is actually good for your skin and it won't kill you to sleep through the night with it on. The color is great. I'm fair skin, I use pebble, but sometimes I spray tan or use a self tanning lotion, so I mix golden tan and pebble together. It is pricey (normally $49 but you can find great deals on Amazon) but it lasts sooo long. it lasts me at least 6 months. love this stuff so much, can't say enough good things about it.

nice product

Everyone's skin is different and foundation is an extremely personal decision. I am 40 and my skin just changed from being normal to very dry. I have about $500 of different foundations sitting in my vanity drawer. Too thick, too thin, too dry, etc. I've become like Goldilocks and the 3 Little Bears in my search for foundation that is just right. I tried this foundation on a whim at the office where I get my botox and have finally found it in this one. This foundation is more like a tinted moisturizer but with a lot of coverage. It has SPF and provides moisture most of the day. It covers but doesn't look thick on my face.

Has FRAGRANCE. It's supposed to be non toxic. Purfum is toxic. I could smell the perfume when I opened the box. Returning it.

This brand contains no petrochemicals and is mostly finely milled minerals. It leaves a nice, matte finish, doesn't settle into pores and lasts all day. It has a "dry" feel to it when applying so you have to blend quickly. The coverage is moderate so I use a little powder to knock down anything it doesn't cover as adding more layers didn't seem to do much. I was worried that it would make my combination skin look or feel dry, but it doesn't. No breakouts or adverse effects. Expensive but happy to find a liquid mineral makeup that works so well.

I love this foundation. Last time I ordered it they sent the wrong color.

i love it

I use this product every day. I love it! It’s very light, so the skin looks very natural but at the same time it helps disguise the imperfections. It arrived in good time.

Love this product and the natural coverage.

Poor quality

Beautiful makeup
