    My one and only!

    I have used this foundation for years. It has been so gentle on my skin and my skin never feels oily or looks shiny (unless I’m working up a sweat!)—I had that problem with the original foundation. I’ve had my mom and daughter use it before and they love it, too. Feels like you’re not wearing makeup but evens out the skin tone and covers well. I hope it never goes away because I won’t use anything else!

    I have ordered this product for almost 5 years now it’s amazing. You can’t tell where the make up ends and the line begins.

    I love it. I won’t use any other makeup besides BareMinerals makeup.

    ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15

    This foundation feels so clean and light on my face. I love the color, Fair 01. I like that it has SPF 15 sunscreen to help protect my face from sun damage in a foundation. I always finish up with the Original Mineral Veil Protecting Loose Setting Powder, Broad Spectrum SPF 25 sunscreen in Translucent. I highly recommend ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15.

    Love the Bare Minerals Matt Foundation

    I'm not big on foundation but Matt Bare Minerals, tones down the shine of my skin, which is a bit on the oily side, evens out my skin tone, adds some sun protection and is light enough to allow my skin to breath. I usually wash my face before sleep but occasionally I go to sleep with my make up on so it's nice to know I have the option if I feel lazy.
