I adore Bare Minerals, and have used it for years. It completely covers up any issues with my skin, but doesn't clog it up. I prefer the matte as it takes away shine, which is my main purpose in using it, as well as covering up blemishes. It's a bit expensive but lasts a very long time with regular use (for me at least, I don't use much).
I love this foundation. Powder foundation is perfect for summer. The powder is finely milled, it gives great coverage and lasts all day. Having the SPF is also awesome because it keeps my skin protected. SPF usually need to be reapplied through out the day, so having a powder foundation is perfect. It is great for touch up also. I usually touch up my makeup once or twice a day. When I wear this foundation, I would use a blotting sheet to blot away excess oil and apply this powder. It is light weight and does not break out my sensitive skin!
After years of searching for a foundation that was suitable for my sensitive, acne-prone skin and that also provides good coverage, I can honestly say that I found the perfect foundation for my skin. I have been using bareMinerals for the past 2 and half years and I swear by it. I only use the powder without any liquid foundation or concealer underneath. I was first introduced to a mineral foundation through another brand, which I also liked, but was outrageously expensive. I never bought it again after I discovered bareMinerals. I usually purchase it at Sephora and it may seem expensive for one container of powder, but it lasts me a long time. Plus it has saved me money since I no longer have to purchase liquid foundation or concealer at all. I wore it outside yesterday while I was outside under the sun for over 5 hours and did not get burned at all.
I bought a powdered version in a tub. You can layer the colour to the desired level using a round short brush. The powder doesn't clog pores and looks matte without a shine.
This is great foundation. The only problem is that it is powder, so it does not stick as well to your face as a liquid foundation. However, with a primer, it stays on beautifully. A great buy!!
I love this foundation. My skin used to be cover in pimples but now luckily that has cleared up, however I am left with lots of scars and redness. This foundation wouldn't cover pimple or big scars, however it is great for redness . It made my skin look flawless and natural. If you are trying to cover pimples I wouldn't recommend it. If your skin only need a bit of evening out than this is something that I would recommend.
Excellent coverage though overtime I found if I didn't wear wear my moisturizer underneath my skin would dry out. I found I needed to "touch up"after approximately 5 hours. All in all, I find bare minerals to be an excellent quality product though a bit overpriced and still I do purchase and use on a regular basis.
