Not only do you get flawless coverage, but you get peace of mind since there are no irritating preservatives, fillers, or binders. It’s makeup so pure you can sleep in it. Even though it looks like a powder, our foundation buffs on like a cream for silky coverage. You control whether you have light or full coverage, or anything in between. Our 100% pure bareMinerals are safe for even the most sensitive skin—even if you have rosacea. They soften fine lines and wrinkles, so all you see is a soft, flawless finish. Another healthy benefit of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation is right in the name: our natural broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 protection.

    I purchased this because my once perfect skin is now uneven in tone. The TV ad says it is "all natural" and that it matches most skin tones, etc. It really is a beautiful package and infomercial. HOWEVER...this product broke me out horribly. I have sensitive skin but NEVER had a foundation break me out the way this one did. I have even used much heavier products but NOTHING damaged my skin like this one. It took weeks for this to clear up. The worst part is that I found out the reason I broke out is because one of the so-called "natural" ingredients is actually BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE! If you don't know what this product is, just know it is in no way recommended for continued contact with skin. That's right a "chemical" not to mention a dangerous one is in this make-up.

    I also found that the colors are not very good at matching darker skin tones. I even tried multiple colors and combinations; they all made me look powdery no matter how little I put on. One good thing is that Customer Service was great about trying to help me find the right shade and also taking this product back. The Rep. was not surprised when I told her I had an allergic reaction. Apparently this is very common even among women who at one time wore this brand for years.

    It leaves the skin looking younger and so smooth with an even tone
