Absolutely! just smooth it all over your face because it is a moisturizer as well and then put your blush, eye shadow, lip gloss. It's fast and easy and looks very natural !

yes that is what I bought it for and so far has worked well note: It is a fairly thick moisturizer and does stay on well.

if you're a medium like Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston yes you use this, if product is a bit light then you can sweep a mineral bronzer over face and fine.But any darker like the character Elena (Nina Doborv) of Vampire Diaries , then this is too light for your skin tone. It does allow for build-ability which is great for more or less coverage and for the price , go for it!, Thanks for asking, hope the answer helps u.

I don't have a small face and I think this brush can only be used for powder, it is a large brush and if you try to use it for blush, i think the application would be spread out and I don't think this brush would be great for blending in blush as well, I use it only to dust powder to set my foundation. The pink brush in Travel set is better as a blush brush or the 3rd largest brush in the Core Collection set also is a good alternative for a blush brush.

The only product I use is the Primer. I will tell you though, I was given a sample of the makeup and was not thrilled with it. The Primer beneath may make a difference. If you're looking for natural, try Origins Stay Tuned. I really prefer it to most any other I've tried. When foundation is thicker, it has a tendency to sink into pores and lines. Maybe using less would help. Sorry I couldn't be of more help>

No. I dnt use it alot, but it feels pretty light. It is good to take away shine, but is pretty translucent so you should ise it over another foundation.

yes you can use blush over this. I recommend using a cream blush because the foundation can be thick which can make it difficult to blend with a powder blush.

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!

I would use a concealer before and the. Use this and apply a light powder finish, there is a lioele dollish cc cream that is good with acne though. Ouse it more than this one, but this is still a great product

Yes. It's very light and absorbs quickly. You could put an SPF moisturizer over it. I use it under makeup with a 30 SPF.

No, it isn't an exact dupe. It's a bit harder and not as big. I wouldn't use it for foundation because of those reasons; however I just use it to blend concealer and cream bronzer, and it works wonderfully for those purposes.

yes i do, but try to use all the same type of makeup as this is powder allow your foundation to be powder base also.

You don't have to but it works like any powder you would use for any foundation. It gives a finishing touch.

I too am very pale. I use medium beige. The lighter shade made me look like a ghost. Then I finish with warmth. It's an all over type blush. I use it on my cheek bones. I have been using Bare Escentuals for over 10 years now. I wouldn't use anything else. The ones you see in stores that have mineral in their names do not compare. I'm always told I have beautiful skin, I'm 61 years old.

I don't know, I haven't tried. If this is at all helpful, I do use a cream blush on top of it and it blends in just fine. I agree, it is very light. At first I thought it had lots of zinc oxide cream in it. The whole reason I bought it because is because of the 50 spf sunscreen rating. I need it. Summers I spend many hours on the water, on a lake at 7,000 feet elevation. You burn real fast there. My first real test of the product was this weekend, it did a fantastic job. Even the parts where cream blush was applied on top of it. I wish I could be more helpful.

Multi task brush doesn't actually use for foundations, especially for liquid ones. It's more for blush, bronzer or pressed foundation powder. Foundation Face Brush is most useful for liquid foundations.

It's been my experience that yes, you can use it before applying makeup, but you should give it a chance to dry otherwise your face will feel sticky to the touch when you use a liquid foundation. Only a small amount of lotion is needed and over applying can cause it to remain moist on your skin.
