 "Seeing is believing" 2008-12-22
By Mary (New London, Ct.)
I purchased this product after reading what a difference primer makes...particularly this one. Must be true, because I am using it under my foundation and have noticed a difference is how smoothly my makeup goes on, but more importantly - others have told me I "look nice". Haven't heard that for a while!

 "Great Primer with SPF bonus" 2008-09-21
By Marion J. Jones (Cortlandt Manor, NY United States)
This primer has gotten rave reviews in beauty magazines and rightfully so. It goes on silky smooth and now has this version with an SPF. The foundation stays on longer and it glides on effortlessly when used in conjunction with this product. Love it!

 "Irreplacable Beauty Product" 2008-07-07
By Colin's Mom (Wellesley, MA)
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer provides a flawless foundation under your makeup and leaves your skin looking dewy and not overdone. I love that this version has SPF15. Who doesn't need extra sun protection? I kept reading about this product in beauty magazines but was hesitant to try it due to the price, but now that I use it I think it is totally worth the money.

 "This is the greatest mineral powder!" 2008-11-30
By S. Mckenna (Billerica, MA United States)
I have tried several brands of mineral powder, and always come back to this one, Youngblood. It is very light, but offers so much coverage. It is all I use for coverage, yet it hides eye bags and age spots nicely. Still, it is quite light. I originally discovered this product at the dermotologist's office. When I was pregnant and having some skin troubles, this is what they offered through their office. I'm glad I can buy it online now!

 "Outstanding product!" 2008-07-20
By S. Golden (FPO, AE United States)
I've been using the Youngblood pressed powder for over two years now, and I absolutly love it. My old makeup would create many breakouts all over my face! This makeup is so light, I really forget its there, it evens out my complexion and looks great all day! Youngblood has a customer for life!

 "Pearl Anyone?" 2008-04-29
By L. Morgan (Texas)
I love Youngblood loose mineral powder foundation and have always wanted a pressed version, as it would be much less messy and much easier to transport, but the only Youngblood shade that matches my skin, pearl, is not available in the pressed form. I really wish they would create this for us pale people.

 "very light" 2008-01-08
By L. Phan
It's very airy and light.



Best thing to do before application is to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin or else the uneven texture shows. Other than that, it's sooo smooth and friendly to the skin.

 "Youngblood pressed foundation" 2007-11-06
By L. Erickson
I am a guru of makeup. Having tried Arbonne, Jane Iredale and several other mineral makeups, I found that the Youngblood mineral makeup works the best for me. It doesn't get oily like the others - goes on light but at the same time - has great coverage - and seems to last throughout the day. I would give this makeup at least 5 stars!

 "Difficult to blend" 2009-05-31
By Kelley
This does offer full coverage and a nice selection of shades, but it is very difficult to blend and a bit greasy. I salvaged the tube by mixing it with the tinted moisturizer I get from Clarins. I have yet to find anything that can beat it for beautiful color and blendable coverage.

 "Best Coverage Foundation" 2009-05-29
By Nikki (New York)
I absolutely love this foundation. I have acne and this is the only foundation I have found to completely cover up my acne scars and brown spots. I don't even need to use a concealer because I just dab a little extra foundation on spots and it covers it up perfectly. Must try this foundation a little goes a long way.

 "Good for mature skins" 2009-01-28
By Eileen Sullivan (Massachusetts)
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

This foundation is also excellent for the "more mature" woman. Use it over the Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer for easy application. I do not use a sponge to apply it because it wastes the product. Instead I use my fingers. A very small amount gives a lot of coverage. You can dab on a little more on areas that are hyperpigmented from sun exposure to completely hide them. I am nearing my 70th birthday mark and haven't had any "work" done on my face so I see lines emerging and getting deeper. I had used Alexandra DeMarkoff's Countess Isserlyn prior to Laura Mercier for many years but started to find it too oily and so switched. Be careful about sellers charging over 57 dollars for this foundation. It retails for 42 dollars at Bloomingdales.

 "Covers rosacea, doesn't irritate it, and no breakouts, smooth coverage" 2008-10-08
By Laura Bee
I am 52 with lines and horrid red bumps and discoloration from rosacea. The doc told me to only use mineral makeup, which did not look attractive on me. I tried this makeup and it not only covered the redness without any primer, it also is buildable for bad areas (worst sections only took 2 thin layers), it looks natural, and seemed to "youthenize" my lines and wrinkles. I like it very much. I am also trying some other Laura Mercier products now, and something is burning my eyes. But, unlike most foundations and even mineral products, it is not the foundation! GREAT find.

 "Acne marks? Sun spots? This will cover everything!" 2008-06-21
By Laura C (New York)
I'm a makeup artist so as you can imagine I love makeup and search for the best of the best. I am a 31 year old woman that occasionally breaks out, but I am always left with a red/brown mark for a few weeks. This foundation is a lifesaver. After applying, I look flawless. People always compliment my skin (and I think, if you only knew what I'm hiding) You really don't need concealer, just tap on a second layer over the imperfection. I use my fingers in a quick downward sweeping motion and I set it with the loose translucent powder. Laura, you rock sister!

 "EXCELLENT--ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR MATURE SKIN" 2008-05-16
By Dawn
This is truly the best foundation I have found thus far. Consistency and coverage is near perfect. I have freckles and sun spots and this covers without feeling or looking heavy. I have had many compliments on my skin while wearing it.



I use organic products almost exclusively, but I make an acception for this foundation.



Note: Make sure you apply in a downward motion.

 "Best Foundation out there" 2008-02-13
By Judith De Joseph (FL)
Provides excellent coverage which is buildable if needed. It has a dewy finish and holds up to FL humidity in summer months. Sine I've been using this for several years, I usually get asked, what foundation are you using? Doesn't settle in fine lines. I wouldn't switch if someone gave me a freebie of another brand. A little bit goes a long way. Love it!

 "Natural But Still Covers" 2005-06-28
By Elizabeth A. Borst (Miami Beach)
I was so impressed with Laura Mercier's other products I wanted to try the foundation. I wasn't sure I could find the right shade out of only seven but I did. The salesman thought at first the color would be a little too olive but it was perfect and the hue conteracted the spider veins on my face and blended well with the concealer I also purchased. I wanted a medium coverage and that is what this is. It is also buildable. If you have nothing to hide the tinted moistuizer might be a better option. This foundation is good for more mature skin. It is friendly to fine lines and gives a slightly dewy but not shiny finish. I've tried Channel, Nars and MAC and none gave me the right combination of texture, coverage and natural looking color. And Laura Mercier's foundation stays true and doesn't turn during the course of the day.

 "Safe Cosmetic Campaign" 2008-06-08
By M. DeFelice
With the mercury in mascara and lead in lipstick scare, I decided it was time to make the change to eco-friendly and safe cosmetics. I didn't know where to begin, but then I found a great website called Go Green Mart and More; all products on the site have been scrutinized and found to be safe for me and the environment. Go Green Mart led me to Youngblood, and I easily made my purchase through Amazon.



It's my first experience with a mineral foundation, whether liquid or powder. I chose the loose powder foundation to see what all the fuss was about. Because of the infomercials I've seen of related products I was skeptical; however, I was pleasently surprised! Youngblood goes on light and silky and it more than covers. I think covers is an understatement; it brings life to the skin. As I go about my busy day and make periodic mirror checks I am pleasently amazed to see bright, healthy looking skin. My skin looks alive no matter how tired or stressed I may feel, having a positive psycological affect on me; I smile at the mirror.



The only negative, which is incidental, every day I've got to wash the residue from the sink no matter how gently and carefully I apply the loose powder. Hardly worth mentioning. Youngblood mineral foundation is my new best friend - along with Go Green Mart and More, together shopping green is simplified.

 "WONDERFUL!" 2008-04-27
By L. Morgan (Texas)
This mineral makeup is great for people with problematic skin. I have a few skin disorders that create redness, dryness, and reactions to the sun and heat. When applied in the appropriate manner and after well-dried moisturizer, this product (which is the only I have found with a shade light enough for my skin) covers beautifully and locks in moisture while still allowing my skin to breathe. I usually don't apply the powder to my nose, the one oily area of my face, but when I apply a finishing powder after the mineral powder, it covers my nose. I can't use the rice setting powder from Youngblood though, as it is too drying, but this mineral foundation is wonderful!

 "Great coverage, easy to use" 2008-03-26
By KAR
I've used Youngblood Loose Mineral Foundation since 2005, when it was applied to my face at a spa at the suggestion of the makeup artist. I had never used mineral powder before. I was surprised by the excellent coverage the mineral powder provided, superior even to cream foundation. Sun spots and age spots disappear under the Youngblood Loose Mineral Foundation, and it takes less than a minute to apply. My only complaint is that the mineral powder does not last all day. But then again reapplication takes less than a minute.

 "Mentioned in WWD Beauty August 2007 IT list for Mineral makeup" 2008-01-20
By lean_bot (Orange County, CA)
This is a good product my focus are on the following:



-quality-it is light weight and feels good on my skin. The foundation easily transferred product from my face to paperwork when used alone. ie. no setting powder was used.



-coverage-supplemented with a MAC cream based concealer to cover the areas that needed extra coverage ie acne spots



-shiny face-very oily compared to when I was using Bare Minerals. Currently, experimenting with using the Bare Mineral Veil after applying YB Minerals to cut down on the shine and makeup transfers from face to paperwork.



-storeage of minerals after each application-I place the minerals on the lid of the container prior to application. I have a problem storing the minerals that I didn't use. This is not a problem in the BM line. I expected more from this container since I paid $35 dollars for a package that is approx the width of an 16.9 FL oz bottle of water and the height of the number 2# pencil.



This should be a 4 rating but I bumped up to a 5 since it is parabens-free and Propylene Glycol-free.

 "GORGEOUS finish!" 2008-01-02
By Beverly Reynolds (New Mexico)
I use this makeup every day and I am hooked! It looks so natural, and I get TONS of compliments on my skin (which isn't that great without makeup) when I wear it. :) Youngblood is unlike any traditional foundation I've tried, including some "other" mineral makeup brands! Forget Bare Escentuals and all those other ones--Youngblood is pharmaceutical grade and milled finer, thus giving it a MUCH better finish. I love that you don't have to mix your own colors--there are tons of shades to choose from, and you can always go up or down a shade and still look natural. I also love the fact that it has natural SPF and no harsh chemicals. (Since your skin absorbs 90% of what you put on it, the more natural, the better!) It doesn't feel like it's clogging my pores and I've worn it during workouts with no adverse effects--yay!



I will say that the application does take some getting used to if you've never used a loose mineral makeup before, but once you master it the results are amazing. I made a list of the steps I find most useful in applying Youngblood's loose mineral makeup:



1. ALWAYS use moisturizer approximately 10 minutes beforehand--if you don't, the brush may feel harsh or worse, you'll get a "powdery" look!

2. Use a bit of concealer on problem areas before applying foundation--it makes it look more natural.

3. Use the Ultimate Foundation Brush (preferred--expensive but worth it) or a kabuki brush (not nearly as effective) for the best results.

4. Put less product than you think you need on the brush and TAP it on the side of the container to shake off any excess. Less is more!

5. Using firm pressure, start towards the outside of the face and work your way in (to avoid using too much product on your cheeks, which looks horrible). Use the brush in a CIRCULAR motion to ensure best blending.



I would HIGHLY recommend this makeup if you have fairly normal skin. If you have extremely oily or dry skin, this may not be the product for you. Oily skin may still maintain some shine after using this product, so I'd recommend Youngblood's pressed mineral foundation instead. Dry skin may not absorb product as well, so I'd recommend Youngblood's liquid foundation for that. I've tried all of the Youngblood foundations and found the loose best suited for my skin type, but you may find that one of the others is better for you.

 "Summer light coverage, Yeah!" 2009-06-15
By tuoi
If you require light coverage this is the product for you. It does take a minute to figure out how to apply. If you have a makeup artist or a daughter or sister with you they can spray directly on your face. If you are alone this is a very wasteful and messy way to apply. I spray a small bit on a CD player cover and quickly using a brush or sponge dip in and apply to my face. All over or just where I need the coverage. The color selection is good unlike Dior's product, which is a good product but comes in a limited range of color. I will purchase this product again.

 "I love this !!! :)" 2009-05-01
By J. Marsh
I love this stuff! I tan a lot so my skin is dark/golden brown. I bought R8 and it matched my skin perfectly. It hides my dark circles, uneven skin areas and doesn't settle in wrinkles at all !! I sprayed some on the sponge first to use as concealer on my problem areas, then sprayed my face and finished with a little powder. I'm very pleased! I have bought just about everything to try to hide my dark circles (even tattoo cover up makeup). This stuff looks natural and not caked on at all!

 "Not satisfied...returning" 2009-04-24
By R. McCloud
I bought this after reading the raves about it. But I think it felt sticky on my face and gave my skin a redness. I didn't like that you had to cover all up before application. That would be a pain if you had to cover up your hair and clothes each time before applying. And when using a sponge it didn't give enough coverage. Even though the color matched perfectly, I think the bad outweighed any good. I'm sticking to my Bare Minerals and Mary Kay is a close second. So much for trying something new.

 "The best ladies for "mature" skin...and I've tried them all !!" 2008-10-19
By chyrl (tacoma)
I am over 50. For the past several years I have become more and more frustrated with the foundation available out there for mature skin. I describe the cracks in my chin as "the great cravace". Honestly, when trying to cover a DEEP crack with foundation, it might as well be the Grand Canyon!! I could never get the foundation to stay in the crack. Thus, within a few hours, the wrinkle showed pink, and the crack stood out even more than if I just didn't wear make-up at all! I was almost resigned to thinking the only remedy would be botox, or cosmetic surg. I've even tried filling the crack with the filler that Wei East puts out. Nothing worked. I tried Lancomb, Clinic and Estee Lauder. I've tried Dr. Brandt, every moisturizer, astringent and face mask known to man.

The best make-up foundation I have found to actually diminish the appearance of "the crack", is Suzanne Somers spray on foundation. I too had seen Carmindy on What Not To Wear use sray on foundation. But it was pricey...so I researched and read the reviews on Suzanne's make-up and people said it was comparable and less expensive. So, for the past 2 years I have used Suzanne's. It is sometimes hard to find, and last month I could not find my color. So I decided to try the ERA. I used Amazon and got it for about $20.00 more than Suzannes.....but let me say, it is worth EVERY DIME.

I will be ordering it in the future, I don't care what it costs. I use a sponge, not the puff that comes with it. I make sure to moisturize and follow with sunscreen. I pay particular attention to the cracks, getting the makeup well inside......I use two small squirts on the sponge for each part of my face.....2 for one side/2 for the other side/2 for forehead, nose and chin/1 for neck....perfect. Excellent coverage. STAYS ON, EVEN IN "THE CRACK". Doesn't smear onto my clothing.....LOVE IT!! My skin feels so smooth. I don't see a big pink crack staring back at me after a few hours. I often do double shifts at work and look just as good when I get off work as I did coming on. I've had a couple of people ask me if I "had something done"!

Hope this helps ladies.

 "great makeup" 2008-09-15
By Scarlet
this is a great foundation if you hate wearing makeup- it's light and gives amazing coverage. it does give you a very matte finish, so if you have dry skin it's best to moisturize well before applying or you may get a little flaky. also, a little goes a long way. the reason i gave it 4 stars is i wish they would would add a bit of scent to it- and the cap for the bottle is really too tall.
