PUR Cosmetics is a brand I keep hearing good things about in the beauty world, of course being the makeup addict that I am I was keen to try some of their products out, and I thought their new Bare It All 4in1 Skin Perfecting Foundation would be a great place to start, if a brand can make a good foundation I always have high hopes for the rest of their products he he.
The PUR Cosmetics Bare It All* is a 12 hour 4-in-1 demi-matte foundation which claims to cover imperfections and instantly perfect the skin while helping to correct problem areas over time so you can confidently bare it all, sounds pretty amazing right. The foundation is available in 6 shades, I got the shade Light which is the second lightest shade from the six and is described as an Ivory for beige skin tones, it is a smidge too dark for me but seeing as it's summer I can just about get away with it with some bronzer blended in, but in the winter I'd definitely need the lightest shade Porcelain for sure.
The formula of the foundation itself is nice, it's quite thick - not moussey- but a thicker liquid foundation I'd say, it has a medium to full coverage which leaves my skin looking super flawless, it's lightweight and breathable and never goes super dry or cakey on me, a little bit goes a long way so I can see my tube lasting me a while, it blends well with the PUR Skin Perfecting Foundation Brush (more on that in a mo) but it does set quickly so you have to work fast with this one, it lasts on me well too, I'm prone to having slightly dryer skin from time to time and seeing as this is a demi matte finish I never powder my skin after using it as I don't really need to and it's still held up amazingly, even in the heat we've had in the UK this past week. As this foundation combines high-quality skincare ingredients with complexion-perfecting pigments I do feel like it does something good to my skin whilst it's on, I definitely feel like my face is more smooth and plump and my pores look filled in, my skin just feels and looks so nice with this foundation on.

As I just mentioned I have been using the PUR Skin Perfecting Foundation Brush* to apply the Bare It All Foundation and I've been so impressed, I mean I'm a huge lover of oval brushes anyway but wowza this brush is crazy nice, I'm talking luxurious - works amazing - I'm in love with it - kind of nice! It's packed full of cruelty free synthetic micro fibre bristles that are so dense but super soft at the same time, it blends the foundation in so quickly, I'm talking seconds, and helps give such an airbrushed finish. I also noticed how well made this brush is, all of my other oval brushes bend just below the bristles and I always have to give that part of the brush extra support but this brush doesn't bend at all, it's literally my go to foundation brush now.
Overall I really like this foundation, I think it's perfect for the Summer months because it stays put on me perfectly but in the winter I'll probably have to mix it with an illuminater to make it more dewy and less drying. The brush has really impressed me though, if your looking to try an oval brush this is the bad boy to try, it's bloody incredible!
