Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

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 :-)

The powder is wonderful - I love how it works on my combi/oily skin, keeping it matte for 4-5 hours. Though, the cover it gives is light, hardly medium. I got fairly light color and to my snowwhite skin its just a little bit darker, though I have neutral/warm skin tone, it matches it perfectly. In the box it looks as if it has pink undertone. I had problems opening it, and asked for others on amazon how to, since I read many reviewes and say even videos where people were opening the box from bottom. DONT do that! Just break off the triangle part and enjoy the foundation.

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.

This stuff is the best! I ordered the wrong color because I’m a fool but typically this product is my go-to on top of liquid foundation (I use Clinique or milk makeup for liquid).

Best product for makeup, I hate wearing foundation and other face coverings. It always feels too heavy but this product stays on all day and makes my skin look flawless

Since switching to contacts I have changed my make up remedy. I use a stick concealer now (cover girl) and I was using the cover girl sensitive skin pressed powder (green compact). The powder would fade as the day progressed, but using my stick concealer with bare minerals it lasts all day, there is great coverage and I look bright eyed even at 3 in the afternoon. I dont need to touch up at all. Even with having combination skin, my skin seems to have taken a liking to Bare Minerals. I would refer this product to a friend, definitely.

I really like Bare Minerals. It is very flattering and light. I didnt think it would cover anything when I first bought it. I would go to Ulta or a similar place that sells this and learn how to apply. I have used this product for about 3 years. Havent found anything I like better.

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!

I like the coverage. Very natural. Lasts all day. Covers my red blotches.

I love Bare Minerals, but I was disappointed with the buying experience through Amazon. I love ordering almost everything on Amazon, but this is an exception. the product arrived without its bare minerals box, without the identifying stickers, and looked a bit old. I was not comfortable with the buying experience at all, and seriously doubted the authenticity of the product. I did, however, use the product, and it seemed to be bare minerals, so in the end it worked out okay. The whole experience was just a bit sketchy though, so I have resumed buying my bare minerals at the brick and mortar makeup stores.
