bare Minerals Matte Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15, Medium Tan 18

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

The finish of this gorgeous but I chose the wrong shade. I'm really pale but like to warm my skin up slightly, not so I'm orange I just don't like looking ashy. I bought golden fair thinking there would be warm tones but the shades look darker online than they actually apply. There is no warm tones in golden fair it's very white! I doubt I will be able to return for hygeine reasons either so I'll use it as a highlighter or maybe as a touch up during the day. I'd usually go the store directly but I'm trying to avoid shopping at the moment due the current situation, I'd just recommend people are more careful picking a shade.

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.

I adore this powder. As soon as I start applying it I can see a difference. Blemishes disappear, my skintone evens and it even hides my pores near my cheekbones which is a godsend. I never have to use too much and the container is super easy to use and ensures you use the same amount each time. If you're going to get anything from bareMinerals, get this.
