LOOKS LIKE PERFECT SKIN, SO I,M TOLD!
I HAVE BEEN USING ALL THE PRODUCTS FOR WELL OVER 15YEARS. I HAVE BOUGHT, BEFORE I RETIRED, MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS STARTER KITS (NOT CHEAP) BUT WORTH THEM KNOWING THEY CAN HIDE ALL FLAWS. I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND PEOPLE TELL ME ALL THE TIME THAT I HAVE SUCH YOUNG BEAUTIFUL SKIN. I MUST ADMIT, I...

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 ...

I really wanted to like this because of the ratings and the cost, but sadly that wasnt the case. It applied splotchy to my skin, clung to dry patches, yellow tone despite using one with a neutral/cool tone, and didnt give much coverage. Personally, I ended up having an allergic reaction to this product. Clearly this isnt the case with everyone, but that took away another star for me.
Great product!

Yes I would be again. Finally found something that feels nice and provides good coverage.
Perfect color - goes on well

Love being able to use the Bare Minerals make-up loose powder and not having to wear a heavy cream make-up in Florida's 100 plus degree heat. Also great if you're in a hurry to get your make-up on, as it goes on evenly.
Best powder..no…best foundation period
Like many others, BareMinerals Original Loose Mineral Foundation was the first makeup I ever wore growing up. Now that I am in my late 20s I thought I would try BareMinerals mineral foundation again. Because of my skin type I decided to try the Matte formula over the original. And wow. It's lovely. Even better than I remember since I now know how to correctly apply it. Feels great on my skin, not heavy, and lasts ALL day. I am able to achieve a beautiful natural result or buld it up to glam, and both look like healthy skin. I love to apply it with their Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush — it's a must! I also use their Loose Powder Concealer (aka my new holy grail for blemishes). A little goes a long way. I also love the concealer with other foundations, even liquid formulas, or on my no-makeup days. I highly recommend their All Over Face Warmth and Mineral veil, too. Very pretty. And same rules apply — a little goes a long way.

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.
