Purchased this a few days ago, and it's great! For those that haven't tried it here's my take....it is very matte, so if you have oily skin you will love it. If you have combination skin like I do....you will still love it, just wear a little moisturizer underneath, I also wear a matte primer and it works well for me. It is full coverage but if you're like me and have some problem areas (hyperpigmentation) I just add a little more foundation to those areas. It's very lightweight for a full coverage which is a wonderful plus. Now because it has spf....it will oxidize, so before I purchased I tried on the shade that was a perfect match and walk around the store for about 15-20min to give it time to settle and oxidize. It definitely oxidized. So...I went a shade lighter in my tone. Ex: my shade was 25, but I skipped 24 because it's a cool tone, so the next warm tone was 23...and after it oxidized it was perfect. Make sure you get the correct under tone make a world of difference.
This foundation is not even close to the bareskin foundation that was discontinued :( The previous foundation was light and smooth. This foundation makes my skin look dried out and kind of "pills" on my face. That's after I've put moisturizer on. I wish they would bring the other foundation back !!!

The circumstances for when I first got this foundation we're totally a coincidence. I had gotten a BareMinerals gift of another one of my favorite products in a shade that was too dark. Prom was also coming up and I needed a foundation that would keep me matte and look good in pictures. So I went to the BareMinerals store and asked if they had any matte foundations, to which I discovered this. Never have I loved a foundation more. I have combo oily skin and this keeps me so so matte, but with a perfectly natural finish. The way my skin looks in this is like a "your skin but better" product. My oily mother normally sticks to the products she's used for years, but the minute she tried this we both had to run out and buy it for our summer and winter shades. It's AMAZING!! I couldn't even understand why it didn't have all 5 stars, but I'm assuming that it is probably a better foundation for oily skin (like most matte foundations are). I use this on top of the Combo Control Milky Face Primer also by BareMinerals, and the compliments for perfect skin don't stop coming (and I have some major acne scarring, so I'm far from perfect😭)

I have always been a huge fan of the bareMinerals powder foundation, but now that I'm getting a little older I decided to try the liquid foundation and it does not disappoint. Highly recommend.

I love the way this feels on my skin. Makes my skin smooth and it's the exact color of my skin. I love this cover up and I am very happy with my purchase!!💜

I've used this foundation for two years and have always loved it. I have combination skin and, even though I'm in my late twenties, still have acne. This foundation has always done a great job providing medium - full coverage without feeling heavy, and it's always given a very nice glow. For me, it was the holy grail after trying countless other brands. I bought a new bottle a few days ago and it's HORRIBLE. It didn't give me any coverage, looks very blotchy on my skin, and became very dry and flaky after just a few hours (this has never been a problem before). If this was my first time trying the foundation, I would have rated it one star. I'm giving it three because I really have loved it up to this point. I'm wondering if there was a formula change in between the time I bought my last bottle and now.

I have used this brand for years now! It gives full coverage and lasts all day no matter what work environment you are in! Getting your color is tricky sometimes, they are low in stock, that is my only complaint though! I highly recommend.

Smears on like face paint, does not blend well. Settles into pores and wrinkles, not smooth at all.

Had to put this away and buy me another brand. Watery and at the same time very oily. The color suits me great but I do not like the watery- oily texture.
Hannah from New York
Hi reader! Okay so I have combination and very fair skin to start. The foundation shade I got was perfect except for a few things… 1) Looks super cakey when you try to put it on your face 2) This is super drying 3) Clings on to my dry spots 4) Makes my oily t-zone look cakey even when I do skincare prep and primer I honestly don't recommend and only for a few dollars more you could get a better coverage nicer feeling foundation! For recommendations for what I use for my dry cheeks and oily t-zone is Too Faced Born This Way foundation and Rare Beauties foundation as well, these too are really good and help with combo skin. :)

Its the best foundation. Use it every day. Leave my skin feeling as if there's no makeup on.

I live in a tropical Island called Guam! Where the humidity and heat is just unbearable and disgusting! And the only foundation I can wear here that looks good are the heavy filler coverage ones. This is light weight, thin but it spreads nicely and smooth. Covers well with out feeling heaving and look good through the day! (I wore it at the beach)! I have been a fan of bare minerals but more in their lips and powder products! I can't believe how much I love this!

Have been using this for years, my last 2 bottles the pump has broken!
Amy from East Coast USA
I've been wearing foundation for decades and have tried a ton of them. This one has me hooked. Great coverage, non-transferable, long wearing, easily blended, matte/oil-free and perfect shades for my cool skin tone covers all my wants in a foundation. There's been no reason for me to try anything else for years.

This foundation is my go to foundation. It goes on smooth and you can barley notice that you have foundation on. Yet it covers all imperfections and sets very quickly and nicely.

I've used this foundation for years, now they changed the formula and it settles terribly and is splotchy. Doesn't blend like it used to, and now it seems they've discontinued half of the shades.

I have been wearing this for almost 3 months. I really wanted to give it an honest review. Is it very true when it says that it is transfer and sweat resistant. I live in a humid area, and it has never sweated off or transfered on anything of mine. However, it creases quite quickly, no matter what powder I use or primer, or setting spray, etc. This foundation also washes me out ALOT, and I don't also want to have to a full face to get some color or dimension in my face. And I wear the lightest shade (porcelain 0.5), when I have looked at the next shade it's a little too yellow to match my undertones, and with it oxidizing within minutes I don't want to look orange. It says it's medium to full buildable coverage, but you have to apply quite a bit for it to achieve the fuller coverage look. It is very matte, so I guess depending on what your looking for that it might work for you. But with having to apply more to achieve a fuller look and with it being very very matte is ends up looking cakey and settling into pores. I really really wanted to like this foundation cause I have heard good things about bareMinerals. But this foundation isn't really for me.

I use the foundation with a beauty blender dampened. It gives great even coverage. It lasts al day with an occasional blot. I have combination skin and the finish is matte but a soft matte if used with damp sponge. I went to purchase a new bottle and the package, bottle and color has changed to my dismay. I use silk which is or was neutral with pink/peach hues. The new bottle is not the same. It has too much pink. I am very disappointed. Will be returning and the search is on!!! It seems perhaps things have been revamped???? The foundation I recommend yes but when they change or play with products......it is beyond frustrating.

I recently made the switch from powdered foundation to liquid after many years. I love Bare Minerals and this is no exception! It goes on very well and it doesn't feel thick, even in humid weather.

This is my fourth time buying this product, only a darker shade this time for summer. I work outdoors for my job and cannot afford to have my foundation smudging or running. After topping it with bronzer, this stays looking perfect all day (and sometimes all night) long.
