This product is essentially an undereye brightener in the form of a loose powder, its purpose is to counter dark shadows so it can be used around the eyes, nose and lips. before using this product I go about my normal concealing routine (corrector, concealer, powder) and then apply this product over the top of all that and it instantly lifts any darkness around that area, it truly is amazing. because this product is a loose powder it helps set any product that I have under my eyes, I have tried setting my concealer with this product under my eyes without powder beforehand but I found that it didn't work too well and went smudgey so for me it works better if I use this over the top of a powder, even though I am using two powders I have found that it doesn't make my undereyes look cakey or dry.
I'm a little bit confused as to what this product is meant to be, as the pot says 'concealer' but on the website and through other people I have only heard of it referred to as a brightener so I was a little bit baffled because this product only comes in one shade, and I typically take a seriously disliking to the whole 'one shade suits all' gimmick yet I was proved wrong as this powder is a perfect match for my skin tone so who knows, it may be a product that actually suits all skin tones? I think that this powder is going to be fantastic in the summer when you don't want to wear too much makeup as it also has SPF20, so it will give you coverage and an SPF when you don't want to have a tonne of makeup on. this is one of the only products that has made a difference to my undereye circles and I love how it makes me look more awake and refreshed, this is the first bare minerals product I have tried but I'm now intrigued about their other products as I have completely fallen in love with this one. this product is £19 and available here from the bare minerals website.
Is there anything you would recommend to me from Bare Minerals?
It seems like a good product but it's a little bit too expensive for me, especially since it's in a powder format as well - otherwise I would have loved to try it :o) Xx

I completely agree, I'm not normally one to splurge out £19 on a powder with less than 1g of product! I was desperate to cover my dark circles though aha! :) x
