Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

Ive used bareminerals make-up for years; I love it. I really appreciate being able to order this product through Amazon and, with my prime membership, have it shipped to my house for free in a couple of days; saves me a trip to the store!

I like the powder since I have fair skin and need to wear sunscreen. Liquid feels awkward. The powder is light and doesnt seem to sweat or get on my clothes. It looks powdery at first but blends well after about 15 minutes.

It was exactly what I was looking for. I bought it for a replacement of my old container.

Matte finish

This looks so fake, from the look, feel ans shape of the package to some of the font and lettering on the back. It was sealed inside, so that’s good, but the makeup color, coverage and consistency is what really made me want to examine the packing in the first place.... it’s just off! I didn’t think it was horrible at first, wasn’t even going to bother writing a review, I usually don’t, but after a few uses, I stared to break out! Not to mention, when I first ordered, said it would arrive 2days, but it didn’t come for a whole month, causing me to have to run to the actual store to buy it since I needed it for holiday parties... so now I have two, totally different, expensive powders.... I just wouldn’t take a chance if I were you, just go to the store so you know what your getting.

Bare minerals powder foundation feels as if there is no make up on the skin at all. It is light yet gives good coverage and does not settle in any creases on the face.

Love it! Blends well and looks natural.

This is the one makeup product that I use every day. The first few times I bought it, I used the original (non-matte) version. I switched to the matte to help get rid of the shininess left behind with the original. Choosing between the two depends on your skin type and on the moisturizer you are going to put on underneath. If you like to use a thicker / creamier moisturizer, or if your skin is oily to begin with, you might like the matte better (thats my case). But Ive also found that in the winter, the matte version can make my skin look dry no matter what I put underneath it. Overall this is a fantastic foundation that is easy and fast, perfect if you are rushed in the morning.

I live by this make up, as someone on a TV set told me long ago that creamy foundations can cake on or look overdone. Basic Minerals has some UV protection in it too. Though they dont pretend to be a true SPF 30 sunscreen, I think every bit helps. I have very sensitive skin and after 15 years of using this, Ive never once broken out. Considering the UV protection added, which irritates many, thats even more impressive. I get frequent compliments about my skin complexion, and I think Bare Minerals has a lot to do with it.

I’m so glad I bought 3 of these! I couldn’t believe the price and after I bought them I started reading the reviews about people not getting them real thing and I got nervous. I thought it was too good to be true but I got my order and they were all the foundation they were supposed to be for 1/3 of the regular price!! Sooo glad I got them.
