Original Matte Loose Mineral Foundation Broad Specrum SPF 15

I love the sun kissed look this powder gives me.

I love bareMinerals because it hides the small imperfections, yet looks like I am not wearing makeup. This product is not for you if you want OVERALL coverage that looks like you have makeup on. This does not coverup blemishes, but perhaps the spots after the blemish. You do not need much and I think, without using primer, it lasts throughout the day. Please note that this is a matte version. I like this better than the regular because I think it helps control the look of shine. I have been using this product for two years now and do not see myself switching anytime soon.

Loved it

I thought the foundation was a good Christmas for my granddaughter. Since she picked it out by brand name, I know she was excited to receive it and will enjoy it.

Love how it evens out everything.

I live by this make up, as someone on a TV set told me long ago that creamy foundations can cake on or look overdone. Basic Minerals has some UV protection in it too. Though they dont pretend to be a true SPF 30 sunscreen, I think every bit helps. I have very sensitive skin and after 15 years of using this, Ive never once broken out. Considering the UV protection added, which irritates many, thats even more impressive. I get frequent compliments about my skin complexion, and I think Bare Minerals has a lot to do with it.

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!

Bare Minerals gives me the absolute best look for my mature skin (72 years old). I have no issues with this powder-based foundation making wrinkles appear more noticeable. In fact, the foundation seems to diffuse light, making wrinkles less noticeable. Love the SPF feature. Mineral veil gives just the right highlight and shine control.

While I normally use the original (prefer over matte) I absolutely love BE foundation! I have a very red face, and this is the ONLY foundation that can cover it! I dont even need a concealer. I have tried many, MANY products for covering redness and many, MANY more foundations, and NOTHING compares the the amazing foundation by BE! I give this product 20 stars! I have had people (strangers!) tell me what perfect skin I have, and believe me, it is not! It is ALL thanks to this foundation!

I have been using this product for 15+ yrs and I love it!! Im 63, and it had worked on my changing skin through out the years.
