I bought mine about 6 months ago, and although I don't use it every day, I still have a long way till I finish mine. If you use it every day I'm sure it will still last you a very long time. You really don't need a lot of product to show results.

My 4-1 Compact lasted me about 5 months and I used it everyday, even weekends! Yes, I definately bought my 2nd compact immediately. Pur Minerals will be my only foundation from now on. Loving it!

First of all the 4 in 1 is wonderful. I love it! However, I find it pricey, as it only lasts about 6 wks.
I use it 5 days a week, and rarely retouch during the day!
I'm really hoping that they can make a refill, so I can buy it more frequently.

In the compact we use now there isn't enough room for a brush, they would have to redesign the case to hold a brush.

We are not planning to offer a brush in the compact but we are always willing to consider requests! The sponge is designed to blot oil and use for touch ups, if necessary.

I dont have an answer but further want to emphasize the need for this shade! I love the finish of pur minerals but find the golden medium to light and the tan to dark. Please please please add a shade in between!

Question

Is Porcelain a pink/red tone or a yellow tone colour, please.

Most foundations are either yellow/peach toned or pink/red toned to suit the undertones in the skin. Could you please tell me what undertones Porcelain has? Thanks.

Hi,

thought I would come back and answer my own question, because the compact arrived yesterday and I tried it for the first time today - the shade is not quite yellow enough for me, but it certainly isn't pink. I think it is probably best described as a neutral-ish peach.

It is an OK match, but not a good one.

I wore it all day today and every time I saw myself in the mirror I was very pleased with the appearance of my skin, but when I looked closely, the colour was not a perfect match (Estee Lauder 'Bone' or 'Linen' is a perfect match for me, but is SO much more hassle to wear!). So now I have to decide whether the ease of use of this lovely powder is worth the less than perfect colour match...

When seeing it in person, it seemed to have more of a white/pink thing going for it.

Question

Does it accentuate facial hair?

I am in my mid-fifties. I have rosacea so I would like to use a foundation to even out skin tone. The 4 in 1 sounds great. But I find that most foundations cling to the facial hair I've sprouted over the last couple of years. Does anyone have similar problem?

I understand! I'm Lebanese, and we arabs are quite hairy. I can tell you that Pur Minerals has not accentuated my facial hair at all, it just looks like a smooth, even canvas.

When applying the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation, we recommend that you end with a downward stroke so facial hair is not "standing up". Powder can cling to facial hair.

Question

How does this product differ from bare minerals or philosophy makeup?

I have used both in the past. I find bare minerals too messy and philosophy does not have enough colors. Is this a better choice for me?

I have tried all three and Pur Minerals is my choice! It doesn't spill and fly all over and stain like Bare Minerals or have that shiny look and settle in lines or pores. The Philosophy had NO coverage at all and the colors were very limited. Plus the sponge top got so icky and fell apart from use. You could NEVER use either of them as concealer either, with philosophy you have to use the cream trio to match and cover and with the Bare Minerals it gave me wrinkles that weren't even there without makeup! Pur Minerals is easy, no mess or spilling and looks like great skin, no fake shiny finish, and it covers beautifully. It REALLY makes you look like a NATURAL beauty!

I haven't used Philosophy, but I have used bare minerals. For me, these were the differences I found.

- No more mess. I don't have makeup all over my hands and my sink is no longer tinted from the spillage & dust!
- No more tomato skin! BE looked great when I first put it on, but by the time I got to work, my foundation would turn to an awful red color (I have deeper/golden undertone skin). With PUR minerals the color stays true, and magically blends even better with my skin as it sets.
- convenience. PUR minerals can easily fit in your purse and travels well.
- less irritation. They both contain Bismuth, but PUR minerals has it lower on the list of ingredients. PUR didn't give me that itchy/tingle that BE did.

I hope this helps ;o)

Question

How much difference is there between blush medium and light colors?

I generally wear a medium make up color so I chose the blush medium. I am concerned that it is a touch too dark for me (at least during the winter months). I was looking at the light color but I am concerned it may be too "warm" and/or too light for me.

The same thing happens to me, too. I also use Blush Medium in the summer and use the "Light" shade in winter. Pur makes a split pan with both colors in it that would be perfect for you to blend the two colors to get a lighter shade but not as light as the "Light" shade. I, myself, just wear the light shade alone in the winter since I'm pretty fair skinned and "tanless" in the winter!

There is about a shade difference between Light and Blush Medium. The makeup will allow your natural skin tone to come through. You can also combine both colors if you are in between shades.

Question

Is Tan a cool color like the original Medium or warm like the new Golden Medium?

When I first bought the original Medium it looked like I had covered my face in pink blush. I thought it might be too dark so I bought the Light --but I still looked like I had covered my face in pink blush. Then you finally came out with the Golden Medium and it worked! The only problem is that with a summer tan the color is too pale for my face. If I buy the Tan color, will it match my golden complexion or will it be too pink like the others were?

I think the Tan will match perfectly. It has golden undertones. I have the tan shade and I have a golden complexion like you. For the winter, it still works for me but it is just a tad dark; it will look beautiful in the summer though. It's definitely your best bet :)

(If your complexion is like the one in my picture, that's my summer tan.)

The original Medium would now be considered Blush Medium, so I think Tan would be more like the Golden Medium.

How do I determine my foundation shade?

I am Asian. My friend told me I have light skin and she gave me a light shade of Bare Mineral foundation. The foundation looks dark orange when I had it on my face. I'm looking for a foundation shade that bright up my face.

Warm Beige was a shade that was offered by one of our sister companies. Our shades are not the same but you may want to try Golden Medium. Our Makeup Planner (http://www.purminerals.com/planner/makeup) can help you determine the best shade for your complexion.
