Root Pretty Foundation Review | Move Over Mineral Makeup!

My journey with mineral makeup started out in high school when I started using Bare Minerals. I loved the natural finish it gave off and my mom loved that it was a better choice for my young skin. As I continued to use it, I started developing bumps all over my face. At first, I just figured it was my teenager acne kicking in, but now that I look back I realize that it was my start with mineral makeup.

Ever since then, I have avoided mineral makeup at all costs. The only mineral makeup I used would be eyeshadow but I never used any base products.

As I ventured out into the “cleaner” side of cosmetics, mineral makeup is huge in this industry. I found my favorite liquid foundations, but I kept getting requests from friends and readers on a safer option for their beloved Bare Minerals foundation. I get it, not everybody likes liquid foundation like I do.

I was very hesitant to try out any mineral makeup but saw so MANY raving reviews about Root Pretty. They promised affordable, high-quality mineral makeup with no fillers. So I contacted their customer service to color match me and ordered three samples of their Pearl Powder Mineral Foundation. I used the shade that matched me for a whole week and had to purchase the full-size because I was in love!

So I went ahead and ordered the foundation, their kabuki brush, concealer, blush and their primer. I haven’t put any other primer or foundation on my face and I use the concealer as eye primer every single day!

I am in love with how long the foundation wears (12 hour wear for sure), how natural it looks (but is buildable to your liking) and how it doesn’t irritate my skin!!!
