bare Minerals Matte Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15, Fairly Medium 05

bareMinerals colors are WAY OFF now. For decades I used BM from their BM mall store, last few years from Walmart. The Medium Beige 12 color is no longer beige. It now looks so pale people think I'm sickly. Looks like I stuck my face in a flour barrel.

I bought this as Bare Minerals have discontinued the 10 Medium shade, I have the 9 and not quite right so now have the 11 shade, why have you made all the new shades with an orange hue? They all look so unnatural now and cheap, I have used and loved your products and brand for years and now feel all of your shades are very orangey, such a shame

Why do you still have Golden Deep on your website saying you have run out when I have been told by staff on the phone that you have discontinued it? It would save a lot of leg work if you could keep your site up to date and inform staff in your boutiques when you discontinue a shade. Also, it would give your customers time to find a new shade before they run out. Lastly, telling the customer to just wear the next lightest or darkest shade either side is not helpful. People with darker skin have just as many undertones as anyone else.

I used to wear this powder foundation, is light but with great coverage, then I changed to another brand for years(liquid foundation). Now I wanted this foundation cause it has great coverage and has a nice finish. It's perfect for everyday use, plus it saves you a lot of time since the application is simple. Well, after a few years without using it and now living in a place with little sunny days, I don't have a physical store so I decided to buy online. I didn't know which color to choose. I consulted at bareminerals.com a recommendation for which was my color by entering the 2 different foundations I am using and the page(bareminerals) in both cases recommended golden tan 20. I ordered this, and is extremely dark, and I look a little grayish. I'm sure I am at least 2 shades lighter than the recommendation. So I loose my money. Was'nt expecting perfect match cause every foundation in this world has different undertones and mixes and when you can't try them on person is pretty hard to get that perfect match. But 2 o 3 shades above to my real shade is too much. Sad.

Bare Minerals the shade i need is never in stock!! The coverage is great and I would highly recommend it but if you want to keep me as a customer you need to make it available to buy either on the website or in the highstreet store...that's how it works!! (Its shade no 9 by the way!)
