Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

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.

I should say that Ive used BareMinerals foundation that I buy from a well known cosmetics store for about 6 months. I found this on Amazon and was excited because I thought that I was saving money and a trip to the store, where I will inevitably overspend on unplanned purchases. Within 2 days of using this, I started to break out badly. When I apply it, I kept going back for more product, because I didnt notice any coverage or any of the usual mattifying properties that I normally see with BareMinerals when I first apply. When I examine it further, the color seems off as well as the texture and consistency. I have to wonder if this is even the genuine product. The packaging looks to be the same, although it did not arrive in a small box like it does when I buy if from the store. I hope that Ill be able to get my money back.

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.

So easy to order and receive so promptly. It’s the best way to purchase.

This is my go-to foundation, and Ive been using bareMinerals for over 10 years. Easy to apply (I use a kabuki brush to apply). Lasts all day for me. My skin is oily, and the MATTE helps control oil very well. It makes my skin feel soft and look flawless. My skin is also acne prone, and this foundation helps cover up scars easily. I do make sure to keep my kabuki brush clean, though. I wash it with soap and warm water every couple of weeks. This foundation is very easy to apply, just sift a bit of powder into the cap and swirl the kabuki brush into the powder and then buff your skin with the brush. I find that the more evenly I buff my skin with the brush and powder, the better it looks and feels.

I love bare essentials and I love that I can order on amazon for the products! This product is the perfect color for my fair skin! Easy to apply and lasts a long time. The packaging is just the same as from a bare minerals store! I will definitely purchase again.

I didn’t want sheerness. I wanted something to cover imperfections and give me smooth even color

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 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.

Have been a user of bare minerals for 11 years, actual product, high quality, goes on smooth and silky, no scent, clears up problem skin.
