Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

If you have pale skin like me, this is the shade you want to use. It SEEMS dark, but it really doesnt look so dark on your skin unless youre applying it incorrectly. I use the Bare Escentuals brushes, but its not required for proper application. A slightly smaller pot than this lasted almost 3 months. Ill definitely be purchasing this again.

I’ve been using this makeup for years and I’m so happy to find it less expensive here on Amazon. I usually buy it at Ulta.

Love how it evens out everything.

I got hooked on BareMinerals a couple of years ago and it has been fantastic since it lets my skin breath while I am wearing it. After a while I did try to replace it with a drugstore brand but the quality wasnt so good and my skin suffered from it. The package arrived pretty quickly so that was nice. The price was cheaper than Sephora site and I dont really have any quality makeup stores around me so I ordered it but since it wasnt a super saver shipper item the price was about the same (Im not sure if Sephora charges for shipping). Great product and stays on nicely all day.

I bought this product because I was tired of trying to cover age spots with heavy cream foundation. I am so pleased with how well Bare Minerals works. The dark areas are minimized and my skin appears much more even and smooth. Great product! Also very happy with the sifter packaging.

Love the mattifed coverage without the cake-iness

I was looking to buy a new mineral foundation and chose bareMinerals because Ive heard good things about the product and the company doesnt test on animals, which is incredibly important to me. I kind of took a stab in the dark about which shade to order but my gut instinct was right and I have a perfect match. Very easy to apply and great coverage. I only apply a very light layer in the morning and thats it for the day. If I had evening plans or wanted to look refreshed for an evening outing, Id probably apply a second light layer prior to the outing but it isnt necessary. Im happy to have found my new mineral powder :-)

I have been using this foundation for years and live it. The only issue I have is that when it gets down to the last little bit, it doesn’t easily come out and it’s nearly impossible to remove the cover to access the rest. It’s also pricey and doesn’t last as long as traditional liquid foundations.

Ive been using Bare Minerals off and on for awhile. My only real disappointment is the claim that its like not wearing make-up at all. Perhaps for those that have long used liquid foundation that is the case, but I often dont wear make-up, and fully applying this product feels no different than any other make-up to me, especially once theres a bit of perspiration mixed in. I still like it better than traditional make-up, but its definitely not bare skin if you are used to never wearing make-up products.

Provides decent coverage but if you have eczema I would not purchase this! It amplifies the flakiness and you need to put a concealer underneath, and even then its not a smooth finish. Need to reapply twice a day if youre relatively active.
