does it give you instructions on how to apply it? Can I use this with bare minerals foundation?

No instructions. I personally searched pinterest and found a "template" with 6 different "looks" that I printed and placed inside the lid. And yes, I use it with my bare mineral powder foundation. Works wonderfully!

It doesn't come with instructions, but here is a link of a tutorial of how to use a similar product (same make up shades different brand) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nhaORsSPj4

No it doesn't.This is only if you know how to contour.Otherwise it'll be hard to blend.

That's the only problem, there are no instructions...I learned from watching videos on you tube on contouring the face with these palettes.....Yes, I would imagine so, you can use this in conjunction with any powder foundations.. I don't use bare minerals, ..but I use other powder foundations with this...

It does not come with any instructions but if you look on Pinterest at "highlighting and contouring" then there are TONS of different web pages that show you how to do this. I have also seen a few tutorials that are available on Youtube as well. Yes, I use this with my foundation and it works great!

I wouldn't use this for mineral powder foundation - it's more of a coarse brush that works well with spreading liquid formulations. I think kabuki brushes work better for mineral powder foundations.

No need for additional foundation. I use the Bare Essentials PRIMER and this product and have a flawless matte finish.

Absolutely! You won't find a better moisturizer for under makeup (except perhaps for jojoba oil, which is the most like human skin oils). I wear only natural powders in small amounts but my friends who wear more foundation tell me they like to apply the moisturizer right out of the shower and then wait 5-10 minutes before applying makeup to be sure the oil soaks in. I've had no issues whatsoever with my bare minerals and I swear I look younger!

i've been using Bare Minerals for several years. It seems like the same stuff I've been using. It goes on good and my skin doesn't break out

I bought the BM starter kit and really only use the MV. I continue to wear my regular foundation that I have worn for years and still use the MV. I always used CornSilk pressed powder for shine control, but besides the fact that they dont make it anymore, I find that using the MV over my foundation is great! I go all day without blotting!

YES! make sure to wet the sponge thoroughly before using it. 1) make sure its very damp2) squeeze out the excess water so the sponge isn't dripping3) make sure the sponge is nice and moist ( I make sure its extra moist for mine, so the sponge doesn't soak up a lot of my foundation...that's my opinion haha)These steps helped my foundation look beautiful with an airbrush finish(:

While it can be used for mineral foundation and would be great it can be used other makeup. I use it with bronzers to contour and I have also used it with liquid foundation. I like it most for contouring. Hope that helps!

I use it after foundation and it works perfectly well. Looks like you dont put on makeup at all. A lot of my friends dont recognize I wear makeup everytime I hang out w them.

Daniel, I don't use mineral make up but I did try it on eyeshadow and it did not work for me. Dry, it did nothing and damp it made my eyeshadow blotchy.

It depends on your skin colour. If you are very fair skinned it leaves a foundation base on the area it is applied. My skin colour is light to medium & I just have to use a very light brush of my mineral foundation in addition to this product as this product seems to give me the majority of foundation.

It's a primer, so it goes on before your make up. I am very fair, so I am not sure how much it would really effect the color, if it makes it lighter or not. It doesn't for me. I wear a "classic ivory" shade of foundation. But, I was recommended this product by someone who was very tan.

I don't think it provides enough coverage to use as a foundation. I have freckles and it doesn't cover them. Very sheer coverage. I use it more as a primer, it has the same texture of a bare minerals primer I have used in the past but this is better because of the sun protection! I use a powder over it and that provides a natural coverage. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with this company, not so much the product (the make up worked well) and when the machine actually worked, I was pleased, but I felt as though I spent a lot of money upgrading to a better quality of machine and that one broke after two uses. Just not what it's cracked up to be and although their customer service reps are very nice, overall their customer service is not good. I went back to Bare Minerals and am very happy that i did. I hope this helps:)

It's actually one of the best primers I've ever used with mineral makeup and you don't have to use as much makeup as you usually would. I have very deep and enlarged pores and most primers don't quite do it, but I'd give this one a 10. Hope this helps you.

No, it doesn't. It has a basic foundation brush. There is a softer brush that resembles a stippling brush, but I use that for blush and it works fine. It's not dense enough for foundation.

I am 52 and started using bare minerals about a year ago. It does provide a natural looking cover that doesn't look chalky or cakie. It also reduces the appearance of pores. I have large pores and have gotten compliments from my teenage daughter that they aren't noticeable now.Needless to say " I really like Bare minerals!"
