bare Minerals Matte Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15, Medium 10

Fairest shades have been out of stock for months. When I contacted customer services they recommended that I try Shade 03 instead as this would be a close match. Unfortunately it's too yellow and dark for me, what a waste of money and poor advice! The fairest shades are still available on the US website, but sadly they don't ship here. When will they be brought back to the UK?

I wanted to order Medium 10 but it has been out of stock so I called to check which colour to try instead and was advised to go lighter. I ordered light 9 which is totally different and darker due to the warm under tone. I think it works but took some time to get used to it. There are very few shops sticking BareMinerals to colour test.

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 have very serious acne and have done since I was 13. I have been wearing Bare minerals loose foundations for many years and I swear by it. My skin is the worst of all skin types. Its oily most of the time, but on occasion it can be dry and flakey. My Acne is disgusting and literally all over my face, chest, arms, back and neck. The foundation has many advantages for me. Don't get me wrong, its not perfect but its miles ahead of the others out there, especially liquids. -Gives however much coverage you want. A light dusting for a quick trip to the shops or several layers for flawless prom makeup. -It covers ANY redness easily with the thinnest of layers. -Spots are easy to cover but you can still see the bumps underneath. More being applied can reduce the issues with smoothness but its something you have to just accept as impossible. -So easy to apply and to get even coverage. -The colours are natural and you don't get nasty neck lines or dodgy patches -With a primer, concealer, and a setting spray, it can last 24 hours and look great! -It can go a funny texture if you sweat a lot, but a quick touch up corrects instantly -I used to wear for school and would be perfect until lunch, and a touchup would be required. (But most foundation does, especially on skin like mine.) -If you have clear skin, this is literally the perfect foundation -I have barely any money and it usually lasts me 1-2 months, and I wear a lot of it because of my awful skin. Its relatively cheap. -The bare minerals brushes are much better, but others work well enough for me as I cannot afford to replace mine. -The best thing of all, is it never makes my spots any worse, in fact, it often seems to help them. -It feels like you aren't wearing foundation! -Makes clear skin feel super smooth and silky. When my acne wasn't so bad, people used to stroke my face all the time because it was so soft -As you may have guessed, my skin is super sensitive and this soothes it and never seems to cause a breakout (Not that I would be able to tell) -The opening from the bottom solves all the earlier problems with not being able to get the last bits out. I usually collect a few at a time and then pour them all into one pot.
