Honeybee Gardens Pressed Mineral Powder Foundation

I’ve been using the shade “Supernatural” for years. I use several of the Honeybee Gardens products. Originally, I ordered samples from their site for $3 to find my eye shadow, face powder, eyeliner and lipstick colors. To give the powder something to cling to, I first apply a face moisturizer. Then, while my face is still damp, I brush on this powder. It’s light coverage that eliminates shine and smoothes my skin tone very well and is easy to apply. The only downside is that this powder doesn’t last very long. I’ve been very happy with Honeybee Gardens. The products I do not recommend are the hairspray (sticky and doesn’t dispense well) and the face sticks (greasy and shimmery). I use the eyeshadows, eye shadow sticks, lipstick, face powder. I sampled all of their blush colors but did not find a shade that would work.

A perfect dupe for Aveda’s mineral powder dual foundation that was discontinued. It’s even the same size so it fits in the Aveda magnetic compact perfectly.

No container, I guess I need to read all the print.🥲

Great lightweight setting/blotting powder. Won’t settle in fine lines and pores. Doesn’t give full coverage for me so I use it as a setting powder. Definitely a keeper! I also don’t carry my powder in my purse so it was ok that it came as a re-fill little pan. But I think they sell the powder case if you need one. Definitely recommend!

Nice light coverage. For bigger events you may want a bb cream under.

I am so thrilled to find a talc-free mineral powder foundation that helps to keep the dreaded t-zone shine at bay. I also appreciate the refillable packaging to reduce waste. I've only used it for two days, but I was impressed on day-1. After an hour or so from applying make-up, my face tends to get shiny and the make-up shifts settling into pores in my cheeks and nose as well as creases. With the Honeybee Gardens pressed foundation, I only see a slight "glow" on my forehead and cheeks after several hours, including after wearing a face mask at work. This is a wonderfully drastic change for me. So far, I like to wear it over Tarte's BB Tinted Treatment Primer and apply it liberally over my face and neck with a brush. I find it softens the appearance of the tinted primer on my skin. It works very well as a finishing powder. as I have not yet tested to see how buildable the coverage is. Regardless, I have finished my quest to find the right powder foundation for me. Purchased the color "Supernatural" as I have light skin that is neutral leaning cool (pink). I find neutral make-up that leans warm (yellow) tends to look best on me.

I have combination skin in the winter and oily in the summer. This powder foundation works for my skin year round. I have a very neutral medium skin tone (light undertone of olive) and it matches my tone very well. I have used it for three years - definitely recommend purchasing the separate compact. Then after the initial purchase, you just have to buy the refills - so much less plastic waste than other brands! The puff that comes with the compact works great, as does a foundation brush. I would say that with my application, it is medium coverage. It also doesn’t settle into fine lines.

I bought it for my adult daughter whom struggles with acne issue and she said that this product is the best ever and perfect shade for her which is rare.

I have been using this for at least 5 years and will continue. It is good on medium colored skin.

More like a foundation powder. Which is nice instead of using cream foundation everyday.

I apply using a round cotton pad (similar to what is sold with the compact, but bigger, as the on that comes with the compact is a little too small for my liking). I replace the pads a few times before the powder runs out, as it cakes onto the pad after a while. But it goes on nicely and has good coverage. I like the minimal approach, so this goes over my moisturizer and that's it. I tried a brush for application, but that's too messy for me - the powder goes all over the counter. This stuff works well and monthly breakouts are minimal since switching from liquid foundation of a typical brand found at discount or drug stores.

Swanson ONLY sells great products. So OFCOURSE this also works well. The powder goes On smooth..and doesn't cake up throughout time. Although you do need a good primer to hold it in place for most of your day.

I've been using the Body Shops mineral powder and switched to this because of the value. The coverage is slightly lighter but overall a good comparison with a fraction of the cost

This powder is so easy to use and gives good coverage.

I really like this pressed foundation. I use it over the "Derma E Tea Tree & E Antiseptic Creme" (from Swanson) that I just started using and together, they make my skin look almost flawless. Not only that, I don't break out like I do when I use liquid foundation. I use with a face brush and it lasts longer. Great for people with sensitive skin.
