    Lovely foundation

    I love this powder foundation because it is so easy to apply. It’s buildable, blends easily, and covers cheek redness. I also like how it doesn’t exaggerate my pores. I went with shade 05, fairly medium—it’s a good neutral shade that matches my skin pretty well.

    Tried and tested

    I've used original matte loose power for at least 10 years. I have tried MANY other brands. However, I always come back to this product. It does what ALL the other say they will do.

    Caused Cystic Acne

    I was under the impression that this foundation wouldn’t clog my pores but it turned out to be untrue. The bare minerals foundation made my skin very oily and caused cystic acne to the point to scarring my face. This company had me thinking that this product was safe and wouldn’t clog my pores but it was false advertising. Do not use it. Now I have cystic acne scars to deal with. Very disappointed. I will never buy this company’s products.

    Bare Minerals, Original Matte, Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Spectrum

    I’ve used Bare Minerals products for approximately 20 years. I love how it makes my skin feel. My dermatologist told me that Bare Minerals is the best make up on the market!
