"I've got to say I've tried it all when it comes to a makeup. I've been using Youngblood loose mineral foundation for about three years now and after trying so many things I honestly believe that it's the best foundation ever. It perfectly covers all the flaws such as blemishes, stains, redness etc. without looking too heavy. My skin seems flawless after I apply it. The only thing is, you should make sure that your skin is well moisturized and exfoliated before you apply it - otherwise the loose foundation will emphasize the flakes and other signs of dryness. "

    "This is the best foundation I have ever tried. I have a tendency to get red skin, which Youngblood eliminates completely without looking unnatural. The first time I applied it I thought it made my pores show, but I realised it was just a matter of working it into the skin correctly with the right Youngblood brush. Doing so, my skin appears flawless. Highly recommended! "

    "I have rather large pores and combo skin. After trying many other mineral makeups that made me too shiny I tried YB. This is FABULOUS. Apply in morning, set with their Mineral Rice Setting Powder and I'm good for all day - including sweating while gardening. Hurray! "

    "I had been a user of Bare Minerals or Escentuals for over 5 years and I love the way mineral makeup help with the acne and everything but BE interfered with the Retin-A medication I was using on my face. And that wasn't pretty. I couldn't sweat with BE because it would burn, couldn't put to much for the same reason and then the color selection for women of color isn't good.
You practically have to be a chemist to add this color with that color and blend in that along with the bisque, warmth and mineral veil which equal to "a pain in the you know where". Who has time for all that! And to add insult to injury despite all of those things my face broke out when I stop wearing the BE foundation, so I knew something had to be done. I still wanted the mineral makeup but not the way BE was doing to my face so I thought that all mineral makeup would give me the same reaction. So check out this sample from Youngblood and I was literally was blown away.
First the sample of "hazlenut" blended so well that it literally disappered into the skin, finally a mineral foundation that matches my skin tone! What a blessing!!!!!!! And if in case I do sweat , it doesn't burn at all, or burn me if I'm still on the Retin-A therpy. All the colors of the samples I can use as a highlighter, concealer, and eyeshadow. It even covered my mom's dark circles which are very dark to no need for heavy concealment like Dermablend that is so thick and opaque. And lastly, it lasts all day. My only complaint is with Younblood that it isnt readily available everywhere, only here at amazon (when they are in stock) or calling a 1-800 number listed on their website and of course Ebay if you trust going there...............I didnt want to be one of those mineral-hoppers that go to one mineral makeup to another and is why i put up so long with BE or that BE is the largest mineral makeup outthere but slowly but surely other companies are following suit so it will give BE some competition. I hope that this helps....................... "

    "And I've tried many over the last few years, including Jane Iredale (pressed and loose powder), Bare Minerals, Sheer Cover, AfterGlow, and PUR. While the other products are decent (PUR was the only exception. I didn't care for it at all), Youngblood's powder foundation is a standout in all categories...it's silky, applies easily, the colors are fantastic and varied, coverage lasts and lasts, and it doesn't get cakey if applied correctly - even with reapplication.

Finding a match was a breeze, as they offer low-cost samples - - an excellent way to experiment with different shades without breaking the bank. Packages arrive quickly, too.

I have developed a special way with loose powder foundations to make them last twice as long, reduce that masky look you can get when reapplying product, control shine, and most importantly, customize the exact level of coverage and color I put on my face: I mix with about an equal amount of good face powder such as CornSilk (my all-time fave - bar none), then split up the now-doubled product into 2 containers...one for home, and one to take in my purse for touch ups.

The 1:1 ratio works great with my particular oily skin, but can be customize for anyone simply by adjusting the ratios. Just keep in mind, all powder foundations perform their best when skin has been properly exfoliated, moisturized, and all moisturizers have sunk in completely so skin isn't wet when you start to apply the powder.

One more suggestion: DO NOT use a cheap brush, like that uncomfortable, scratchy thing Sheer Cover sends out. The product won't blend as nicely, either. The absolute best brush I've found: Jane Iredale's The Handy. Indispensable, luxurious, and worth every cent!

Youngblood has a fantastic product - - Highly recommended! "
