MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation Set by Jerome Alexander – 3pc Set Includes Primer, Foundation and Kabuki Brush - Spray Makeup with Anti-aging Ingredients for Smooth Radiant Skin (Cognac)

TL,DR: easy to use the spray and brush. The kabuki brush is so soft. After 4 uses I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. I followed the advice from a different post. Two short sprays downward toward the sink to help cleanup. Then I dotted forehead, nose, cheek, cheek, chin to spread it out a little bit. Then went back and brushed the foundation in small circles all around. I have combination skin and this feels lightweight. the Fair shade worked well for my Wisconsin winter skin tone.Full Review:First I need to start out that I am not a makeup expert by any means and consider myself a novice. I haven't worn makeup in probably 2-3 years. I'm a 40 year old mother of two boys. I am a professional in healthcare (orthopedic surgery PA)on the go. I decided it was time to get back into skincare and makeup for my own wellbeing and confidence. I have combination skin on the oily side with dry skin on my forehead and nose and large pores. I get occasional breakouts along the jaw line and have discoloration from past breakouts. When the kit arrived, my face regimen was an acne type face wash in the shower followed by a salacylic acid moisturizer. I thought I was helping prevent pimples, but what I was doing was drying out my skin. The first time I tried the foundation I was disappointed because although it went on easily, it stuck to my dry skin and looked uneven. I realized that the cream and lotions I used in my twenties are not the right thing for me in my forties. I felt like I was too young for all of the "Age defying" creams, but too old for Clearsil. The skincare isle at the store is overwhelming with all of the choices. So, The scientist in me hit the internet to find out what I should be using instead. I learned that I need a cleansing oil to remove dirt and makeup without stripping my face of oil, which just in turned caused more oil. I read about all of the serums that are out there. I decided that I would try Vitamin C serum (boosts collagen for firmness and reverses cell damage which will lighten discoloration) and hyaluronic acid (hydration without oily feeling. HA can hold 1000 times its weight in water). Lastly, I needed a moisturizer and found one for combination skin. This is just the new morning routine. Nighttime is micellar water to wipe away makeup, followed by cleansing oil. I decided that I would use a retinol serum (a form of Vitamin A that can clear up acne, even skin tone and color. it can be harsh at first and can make a person sun sensitive. so good at nighttime.) I was able to find all of these new items at Walmart. I spent about $60 total. After one night and one morning, the flaky skin was practically gone. I'm 4 days in now.The foundation went on so much better and didn't catch on any dry skin. By the 4th day I was getting quicker with using the primer and foundation. At first I didn't think the primer was doing anything or thought I wasn't using enough. But I looked closer and realized that it gave a matte look. Hopefully that's what its supposed to do. The foundation lasts all day. I am still in need of a concealer pen for undereye darkness and a few spot coverup.So now my routine includes actual skincare and foundation. I don't want to shock my coworkers with a full face makeup overnight! lolI am still learning about the rest of my makeup. I never really learned how to properly apply it. I watched a "no-makeup" makup tutorial by Beauty and the Boutique. This encouraged me to buy a concealer pen and liquid blush that can be used on eyes, cheeks, and lips. Still waiting for those to arrive. So little, by little I'll figure it out.

I'm 50- almost. My skin is picky and I'm pale as paper- except my freckles. This product is great. This is my second foundation purchase, but the first time using this primer and setting spray. The products are designed to work well together... and they do! I find liquid and powder foundations to be streaky, heavy, blotchy and off colored on any given day. My skin randomly changes the game on me. However, this air brush style is the most flattering on my skin-consistently. If you haven't gotten the look you want with powder or liquid foundation, give this combo a try. It is super light, but can be layered, smooth so it doesn't cake or blotch up, doesn't feel drying or sticky, and finishes really pretty. While not everything works for everyone, I'd say to give this a try!!

I like the ease of putting this make up on. Also think it makes my skin look better. I’m 65 with a lot of wrinkles! The foundation doesn’t sit in my wrinkles. It covers smoothly.

At nearly $50, I was worried when I plunked down the money to buy this makeup. I'd read some reviews that said it was too dark and too orange. But when I hit 40, I began to have more and more trouble finding makeup that worked for me. Liquids and creams sank into every crease and emphasized every flaw.I used Bare Minerals for a long time but the drier my skin became, the harder it was to use, and the worse it looked. It can also be really messy and got all over everything. There was so much waste, especially when I traveled and the powder flew everywhere when I opened a jar that had been in my suitcase.I'd seen airbrush makeup advertised before, and while the results looked great in ads, I didn't want to risk investing in a whole airbrush system! So I thought I'd try this and see how it sat on my face.I was very pleasantly surprised from the first use. I am extremely pale and did not find the light makeup to be orange or too dark at all as some complained in their reviews. Maybe I just applied it more lightly than other people? Don't know. I was very happy with it. I showed it freshly applied to some friends and they were impressed. The coverage was the best I've been able to get out of a makeup in ages. It didn't stick to little skin flakes or delve into flaws. With the brush, I was able to smooth the little wrinkles around my eyes better than with any makeup I've used in years.I decided to try spraying it directly on my face as well. The instructions tell you to spray the primer and the makeup on the brush, then brush on your face. I liked spraying it on my face directly, too. I smoothed it out with the brush after. If I want heavier coverage, I will do this in future. Of course, if you do, it will really get on your clothes!It's fairly expensive, and I don't know how long a bottle of this stuff lasts. But for the results, I am going to keep right on paying it. I like that I have this canned system to have with me for travel, in case I ever want to try a more elaborate airbrush makeup system someday.The makeup texture is creamy and nice. I just used it from about 8:30 AM to about 7:30 PM and I looked good all day. No running.My skin has not looked this smooth with any other makeup in years. If you're looking for a makeup for older skin, I recommend it.

I am 62 and have dry skin and wrinkles. Most foundation make my wrinkles look worse. I've tried so many different types of foundation and they never look right. This stuff was amazing!!! It was so easy and didn't take much to cover. It feels so light and looks like I'm not wearing any makeup! Love it!!

Easy to use great blending but makes me breakout from it's ingredients. I'm guessing because it has mineral oil in it.

Me encanto el kit completo te deja la piel radiante de porcelana, yo tengo algunas manchas en la cara y me las cubre muy bien, no se nota que traes maquillaje, los complementos del maquillaje le dan el plus. 100% recomendado

Si me gusto se me hizo un poco caro para lo que dura

Al aplicarlo el rostro te queda como craquelado

This product is awesome. It looks so natural and makes my skin feels so smooth and so soft. Their customer service is amazing. I had a problem with the shade and they sent me a replacement, free of charge. Very satisfied! Kudos to this company.

wonderful product. easy and fast to use. Looks nice
