- Q
I currently use Medium Beige 12 in the matte finish. I was diagnosed with Rosacea and have incredibly dry skin. I no longer need the matte finish but when I bought the regular finish I looked like an oompa loompa - it was quite orange. Is there a different shade I should be using in the regular finish since I have such redness that I'm dealing with?
- Asked by L. Rico
- Official Answer By bareMinerals - BEThe shades in the Original and Matte versions of this foundation were created to be easy and match across the two finishes so the shade you wear in Matte is the same shade we suggest in the Original.

BareMinerals RUINED my Skin: PLEASE READ
Back in January, I started using the BareMinerals Original Foundation. I was hooked, instantly! Super easy to apply plus it felt great on my skin! Shortly after starting this foundation, I started experiencing horrible breakouts. I'm not talking a small pimple here and there during your period. I me...

I would buy this product again
I am happy with the product . I have rosacea and bare mineral helps . I love wearing blue mascara it is difficult to find blue mascara anywhere else.
A must have!!
Bare Minerals Mineral Powder in Medium Beige – A Summertime Essential! I've been using Bare Minerals Mineral Powder for years, and it never disappoints. The coverage is buildable yet feels weightless—perfect for a natural, airbrushed look. During the summer, I switch to the Medium Beige shade, which matches my sun-kissed skin perfectly. I love that it's made with clean ingredients and never clogs my pores or causes breakouts. It blends effortlessly, stays put all day, and doesn't settle into fine lines. Whether I want light coverage or something more full, this powder always delivers. A must-have in my summertime makeup routine!
Product I have gone back to time and again
For me it provides great coverage and you don't even feel like you are wearing it. Once you are matched with the right color -I looks natural
Not sure about this product any more
I have used this product for many years. The coverage is not as good as it used to be.
Stop using liquid!!!! GET IT
hands-down, the best foundation I've used I always used to think that liquid was the way to go, but it always literally melts off my face and I have combination skin and this does not look cakey in anyway and also last all day. I'm not gonna lie. I was a little spectacle, going into it since it is older beauty products that no one talks about anymore, but I have literally tried everything and I love this more than anything else
