What’s Your Verdict on the Bare Minerals TSV?

JeanLouiseFinch — Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:17:53 GMT

My kit arrived Thursday and I just tried it for the first time. I’ve used Bare Minerals in the past but chose a different shade this time - light beige. It seems to be a good shade for me. The triangular concealer brush is a good tool for the under eye area. What I’m not crazy about is the finishing powder. It is way too glowy for my taste and age. I don’t like the “Tin Man” look all over my face, I think it accentuates flaws.. I’m contemplating if I should keep the set or return it. If I keep it, the finishing powder will only be used as a highlighter in key spots. For that, it’s very nice. Still, I’ll do a little playing before I make up my mind.

What’s your verdict?

I got it couple nites ago but haven't used it yet, @JeanLouiseFinch - we got a lot more snow than expected yesterday and my friend who plows plow was being repaired. Fun!

Anyways, I always get the fair but that was all sold out so had to order the light - hope it works. Sounds like, I too, will save the finishing powder to highlight.

Fingers crossed that the light will work for me. Glad your color worked fine for you!

@JeanLouiseFinch You could try using the finishing powder on your decollete, shoulders, back of your hands, legs, etc.

I haven't gotten mine yet and looks like not until next week. I ordered things from HSN and QVC the same day. Have received all HSN items before QVC items even leave the warehouse. I'd forgotten why I don't bother shopping with Q too much.

FYI...........not very practical esp. if you don't go anywhere, i.e., virus, remember?

Thanks, @tobes , but I probably wouldn't do all of that. I usually dress more on the modest, conservative side.

I loved the Mineral Veil! It has a little bit of a rosy glow and I use it on the top of my forehead and my cheeks. On me it looks like a paler version of the Rose Radiance. I wear the Medium foundation and occasionally the Fairly Medium. Since I have a pink undertone it might look more pink on me than those with a different undertone. I would purchase again if it is offered again. I am glad I got it on auto-delivery so I will get a second Mineral Veil.

I knew I wouldn't like that shiny mineral veil so I ordered my annual large size foundation direct from Bare Minerals instead.

Plus, summer is over. Little skin to show. Who cares about doing this & staying inside our homes?

@JeanLouiseFinch I honestly got this kit for the deluxe size bisque. I use it as a foundation. I purchased the fairly light foundation...but it is still too yellow for me. The finishing veil is too shiny. Brushes were ok. I cancelled my auto delivery since the bisque is the only thing I really use.

Yes, I too love the bisque & sometimes use it as foundation. Now that they made it part of 'a kit,' which I don't like, hate kits, QVC is not offering the deluxe size bisque like they usually do.

Not happy with bareMinerals since Leslie sold. Who needs a million brushes? Another waste to add to kits to make it seem like you're getting something for your $.

I bought the TSV for my niece for Christmas. She loves Bare Minerals, so it's perfect for her. It's also helping her to build up a nice supply of brushes. I bought her a TSV with a couple of auto-ships a two of years ago. I was glad to see what was in this one.

I had tons of brushes from back in the day when I bought TSV's or kits when Leslie owned the company. We had a devastating flood in parts of WV about 4 years ago and my former SIL lost her home. I was able to give her several really nice makeup brushes from Bare Minerals, among many other things.
