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!

disappointed
I am so disappointed that they changed the original formula of this loose mineral foundation. I have used this product since 2005 and it is so different now. doesn't give that smooth and radiant look anymore. before the formula change in 2021 it gave a beautiful finish. Please change this back to its original formula. Now it pills on my face, and looks dry and dull. so very disappointed. I thought at first I had gotten a bad batch but no, I have tried it twice since with same results, unfortunately.
Bare minerals are Great
Been using bare minerals for yrs, great cover up and extremely lite on your face
I've used this makeup for about 15 years. Love it.
Works great over my sunscreen.
I would buy this product again, just needed help with color.
Very appreciative of the help from sales associate. Color of powder is better than what was picked out at a different location(that color made my skin look orange). I have used Bare Mineral for 21 years, but often need assistance with color for my aging skin.
I have bought this product again and again!
I've been using Bare Minerals Powder Foundation for years. It blends beautifully, doesn't cake in lines or creases, doesn't streak, won't clog pores or brush off onto clothes easily.
