Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

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 love bareMinderals. It covers well, but doesnt look chalky. Because it is a powder, it doesnt streak. I usually put on my face moisturize/sunscreen, let it dry, and then put this on. I was very happy to see that Amazon carried this product. It seems pricey, but you get a lot of weeks out of the product. Now I dont have to hunt this down in the constantly changing locations in the mall store. Awesome!

Every couple of decades, a makeup comes out that takes the market by storm. Most treat one or two common skin conditions. This makeup certainly works for me and from what I hear from friends, it works well for a wide variety of users.

I live 1.5 hrs from a retailer for this product so I was happy to see that I could purchase it on amazon. I always use Bare Minerals Matte in Fairly Light. The first time I used the powder, I noticed it didnt go on the brush the same, then when I applied it to my face, it made my skin orange! It didnt cover any blemishes or red skin as the true product does either. I didnt use it again. Yesterday I made the drive to Sephora to pick up the real deal then compared the 2. Many small differences with the container/label, mostly with the color. Who knows what kind of toxic chemicals might be in the powder?! Complete garbage. Returned it. I notice that the price has dropped, I paid $26.49 when I bought it, if it were only $17 at the time of purchase, that may have clued me in that its not the true product!

This product actually is good for your skin. Mine is very acne prone. I found that you need a really good brush to apply it well otherwise it will not cover. It also doesnt cover as well as the original foundation. However I usually apply this first, then use a little of the original foundation on top. It did not make me break out at all and really helped control blemishes. I only recently broke out when I started using a revlon concealer underneath bare minerals. BAD CHOICE. ONLY use bare minerals dont hop and mix other make up brands at the same time.

I love this product. Covers well and matches to your skin tone pretty much no matter what. Still causes me discomfort if I sweat at all, though. ITCHY.

The coverage is outstanding with this product. The size and price are great too. It has been long lasting too. Very happy with purchase.

By far one of my favorite makeup products

I bought the starter pack of the regular Bare Escentuals, which I liked, but the finish was a little too sparkly or shiny for me. I like the matte look of this powder. I can go to the gym after work, and it doesnt run off my face like regular makeup. The only thing I dont really like is the way Amazon or Sephora displays the colors. I would have bought the lighter shade, but it looked like Fairly Light was correct. Just a tiny bit too dark, but its very blendable.

Great for sensitive skin. The coverage can be light depending on which brush you use, but all around a good product.
