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 keep coming back to this
For years this has been on and off my foundation. I used to get the matte one but the original has a much more natural finish. This is the only foundation ive found that passed 3/3 infeedient checkers (i have very acne prone skin). Im a bit oily and thatll show after a few hours of wear, but easily fixed by their setting powder. I've been using their pore minimizer primer, the original loose powder foundation, and their bronzer— it's all totally acne safe. I set with urban decay all
Awful..such a disappointment.
I dont't know what bare minerals was thinking with this formula. Its terrible, finish is cakey and separates badly especially in tzone within 3 hours of wear, settles in fine lines. Ive been using 24hr pro for atleast 5 years now consistently and nothing else because this is the only foundation that doesnt break me out or transer. Now it transers as well. Just all around a dissapointment and now I have to go through the trouble of trying a new brand. :(
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
