Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Liquid Mineral Foundation, Golden Sun (Old Version) | Full Coverage Mineral Lightweight Makeup | Vegan, Cruelty Free, Paraben Free

COLOR MATCHING: I ordered "Shell" because I'm pale with yellow undertones. Pretty damn good color matching! Like the best I've ever tried. Very pleasantly surprised. I actually used the Youngblood website to reference the foundation colors. So, if you're not sure, I suggest going there. Revlon 150 Buff has been the next closest color match, for reference. So if you've used that, you'll really like Shell. COVERAGE: It is a very light formula, like a thin spread.. so if you have a serious break out, maybe try using a concealer? I haven't tried using a concealer yet. I just apply a little more foundation in those areas and let it dry. I'm coming out of a break-out, so I don't really have a lot of raised acne or extremely irritated skin right now. Definitely have red patches though. Once I apply the Youngblood mineral powder on top, it looks perfectly fine. I also use the Youngblood contour powder kit. Even after all that, I don't feel like I'm wearing a mask. That is to say, my skin can actually breath a little more. I've read from some other customers that the authentic one is thicker, and this one has been watered down. I really can't verify or deny that claim. APPLICATION: I tried using a foundation brush, but it was kinda streaky. I had much better results with my fingers and a beauty blender. I would recommend a beauty blender. Like I said, it is on the thinner side, so it favors more of a natural look, which is honestly great. However, if you also wanted to do a full face, you absolutely can. You can build up the product. Use your powder. Contour. Highlight. LONGEVITY: My skin is suuuuper oily, so if I'm not using a matte-specific formula, I have to use a matte primer or matte setting spray. SKIN REACTION: I was kind of amazed to see how "chill" my skin was after washing it off. I've used Revlon and CoverGirl on and off (periods of wearing or not wearing make up) for a couple years now, and every time I've washed my face I could see how angry, inflamed, and irritated my skin was after doing so - even causing same-day breakouts. Needless to say, putting on makeup became a necessity and torture. After washing the Youngblood Foundation off, my skin actually looked smoother! And it was not inflamed. Like... what? How have gone this long without trying mineral foundation? SUMMARY: I bought these products as a first-time buyer after researching different brands, and reading customer reviews. I was prepared to be extremely disappointed because you really never know.. but I've experienced quite the opposite. Yay! The ONLY other product I swear by is Lush's Color Supplement liquid/creme pot in Light Yellow. That has never ever caused breakouts and also matches my skin perfectly. So, I'm hoping this line of products will be equally promising. I haven't used it long enough to be sure, but I have a good feeling. Feeling good enough to write a premature review. You get way more product in here than you would in a lush pot. Treat yo self grl. <3

I started using Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundation a couple years ago at the advice of a local day spa. My skin is very prone to breakouts and used to have dry patches which aggravated the acne. The day spa said this foundation would promote hydration because it doesn't contain zinc oxide and other additives that drugstore brands use. I hate the look and feel of other mineral makeup because the particles seem to be coarse and they usually have sparkles in them which are totally unnatural- Youngblood skips the glitter and stays 'real'. Another thing that causes acne for me was the animal proteins and sunscreen additives that drugstore brands contain. Once I made the switch from drugstore brands to Youngblood, I saw results within a week- the foundation is very lightweight and blends perfectly with my natural skin tone. The hydrating effect reduced breakouts and made my face smoother. Also, one reason I was prone to acne, was that I could never seem to cleanse my face thoroughly- I'd wash with acne cleanser and exfoliate, etc...then use a makeup wipe and still see traces of makeup! Youngblood washes away easily- which helps prevent acne! I'll never stop using this product!

This brand contains no petrochemicals and is mostly finely milled minerals. It leaves a nice, matte finish, doesn't settle into pores and lasts all day. It has a "dry" feel to it when applying so you have to blend quickly. The coverage is moderate so I use a little powder to knock down anything it doesn't cover as adding more layers didn't seem to do much. I was worried that it would make my combination skin look or feel dry, but it doesn't. No breakouts or adverse effects. Expensive but happy to find a liquid mineral makeup that works so well.

I first started using this product a few years ago. It was an excellent product that lasted for a really, really good while, which kind of makes the price okay. After I ran out, I tried using other products, however, nothing was as light yet provided good coverage as this one. 'Sand' is the one that matches my skin tone, and I don't know if it's that, but I have never used anything that looked as natural. I actually got this particular one for my aunt because she was super impressed when she tried on mine. This is by far the best liquid foundation I've used, and I've tried a lot. I use the matching face powder for finish, but this product also works very well on its own. A little goes a long way. I have used it almost daily for a year, and I'm only halfway through, which breaks my heart a little seeing as the shelf life is only 12 months.

I've been using youngblood for years. It is by far the best liquid foundation out there. I used to use bareminerals, and I love that product too, I think it's great, but I wanted to stop using brushes. I'm not good at cleaning them frequently and I thought that the brushes might have been contributing to my breakouts. I'll say that since using the youngblood liquid mineral foundation my skin has been a lot better, I think other changes I've made have contributed too but I do think it has been beneficial for my skin to stop using dirty brushes to apply my makeup. I apply it with my fingertips like lotion. Their primer is really great too. super silky. but it goes on great without it. I love that it is so light. you don't feel like you are wearing makeup at all. I've always hated makeup that feels cakey… or makeup that you can feel that you are wearing at all. I set this with a little bit of compressed powder too - you don't need much though. I religiously wash my face before I go to bed, but occasionally I'm to tired, and don't and I don't feel guilty for not washing my face because this stuff is actually good for your skin and it won't kill you to sleep through the night with it on. The color is great. I'm fair skin, I use pebble, but sometimes I spray tan or use a self tanning lotion, so I mix golden tan and pebble together. It is pricey (normally $49 but you can find great deals on Amazon) but it lasts sooo long. it lasts me at least 6 months. love this stuff so much, can't say enough good things about it.

Has FRAGRANCE. It's supposed to be non toxic. Purfum is toxic. I could smell the perfume when I opened the box. Returning it.

I cannot give enough praise to this line of cosmetics The coverage is not heavy yet it covers all it would be advantageous for you to try it out it doesn't dry your skin I have had no irritation even though my skin is hyper sensitive great product

I love this foundation. Last time I ordered it they sent the wrong color.

What the box said, which is what I ordered, the bottle inside was a different shade. The cost was reasonable and cheaper than other sellers. Delivery was fast and ordering was easy.

I use this product every day. I love it! It’s very light, so the skin looks very natural but at the same time it helps disguise the imperfections. It arrived in good time.

Poor quality

Beautiful makeup

Love their products - and this is divine - my go to for years
