Erth Minerals Foundation in shade 2.3 - swatches, pics, before & after, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Earlier this month I showed you the Erth Minerals Eyeshadows in six shades, but in this post I'll share with you their foundation in the shade 2.3 - which is a pretty good match for my skintone. The coverage is sheer to medium depending on how many layers you use. I don't remember how many I used in the before & after pic... I think it was just 2 thin layers.

Erth Minerals Foundation Review:

For me, this foundation was nice and it offered pretty nice coverage, but it wasn't anything above and beyond for what my skin needs. If you don't have as many flaws as I do, you'll love the coverage level this foundation offers. If you do have more skin issues, this will even out your skintone and with building and concealer, you can get great coverage. You could also use it on top of other foundations to add and even coverage.

They offer 14 shades, and the shades seem pretty forgiving overall. The shade I have, 2.3, is described as for light to medium skin with neutral undertones. They say it's comparable to bareMinerals foundation in Medium Beige, which is one of the bareMinerals shades I own - but I find the Erth Minerals foundation to be slightly lighter, but their undertones work better on me.

Overall, an affordable product to try if you're in the market for a mineral foundation!
