FAQs
Which matte loose powder foundation is best for oily or acne-prone skin that still wants a breathable feel?
For oily or acne-prone skin that needs real oil control without heaviness, bareMinerals ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is the answer. It absorbs excess oil for all-day matte coverage, is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, and includes mineral SPF 15 with buildable coverage from sheer to full. If your skin is very dry or you prefer a naturally luminous finish, try the ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 instead.
How do you apply bareMinerals ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 for the best finish?
Swirl ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in the cap with the Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush until it disappears, tap off excess, then buff in circular motions. This activates the mineral-powered formula to transform from powder to a silky cream with a second-skin finish. Repeat to build from sheer to full coverage for an all-day matte finish.
Is a matte loose powder foundation safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is a dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic formula that's safe for sensitive or breakout-prone skin. It's talc-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, and free of over 2,500 ingredients. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
How often should you use a matte loose powder foundation to control shine?
Use ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 by bareMinerals daily as your foundation. Apply in the morning and buff on additional light layers where oil tends to build throughout the day. Its all-day matte coverage is breathable and non-comedogenic, so it suits oily and combination skin for everyday wear without feeling heavy or cakey.
How do shades and undertones run in a matte loose powder foundation?
ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 organizes shades by undertone. Choose cool if your skin reads pink/rosy; warm if it reads yellow/golden; neutral if it reads peachy. Deeper options include red or golden nuances (e.g., Deepest Deep 30). Use the on-page Shade Finder to lock your match across the full range.
ORIGINAL MATTE shades: what’s the difference between Light Beige 09 vs Medium Beige 12 vs Golden Beige 13?
Light Beige 09 suits light cool skin with a pink hue. Medium Beige 12 suits light neutral skin with a peach hue. Golden Beige 13 suits light warm skin with a yellow hue. All three shades of ORIGINAL MATTE Loose Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 include the same oil-absorbing matte formula. Still unsure? You can find your perfect match with our Shade Finder.

never again!
Lets just start by saying I have been using BE products for over 4years. Loved the original foundation but in the summer at times made me look to shiny. So I decided to try the matte version. The colors are slightly darker than the orginal. Coverage is much more sheer so I feel I would use a jar of ...

10 out of 10!!
I love love love this foundation!! I genuinely think its the best foundation powder of all time. I have really oily, sensitive skin and a little bit does so good at covering up all my doscoloration and blemishes. It feels like your not wearing anything, it does give a nice matted look and I always get compliments on my skin. It lasts a long time too since you dont need too much. Its perfect and I love telling people about it!
Mineral Powder
I have been using this powder for over 10 years. It keeps going up in price every year. They may come a point that I cannot buy it because of cost though!
My Foundation Since It Was On TV!
I tried this 15-ish years ago and stuck with it ever since. Saw it advertised through one of those paid program things on TV and thought it looked awesome. And now there's no way I'd be able to go back to liquid foundation that makes me feel like my face is suffocating. Plus no caking but still full coverage. Lightweight. Good choices for skin tone. Just awesome.
The only makeup foundation I use
As a person in my 50's, this is the only foundation I use. It never settles in my fine lines and wrinkles and always provides perfect coverage of my pores. I highly recommend.
I would buy again in a pinch
Product is nice enough in a pinch, but prefer the one I normally use (from All Natural Face). Price was fair enough, but I usually pay less for a great product somewhere else.

- Q
I recently purchased (medium beige 12) in the original loose powder bc the matte I always wear was not in stock. It was significantly darker in the original version. I had to return it. Is there a difference in that color btwn the two finishes? or have the colors changed within the last 8 months? I want to order the matte in medium beige 12 but am concerned the color wont be right for me.
