bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15 Reviews

Description

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.

    Minimal coverage at best

    This foundation was very drying on my skin, it clung to every dry patch and exaggerated them. I ended up looking messy and very powdery. There is almost no coverage, and only 4 shade ranges. If you have oily skin maybe this would work for you. It did work as a bronzer though!

    Foundation no night coverage foundation? No. powder. That's it. I have normal,knock on wood,"good" skin. I moisturizer and this made me look like a ten years older. This whole line to me...nope.none of it worked. Except for the well rested under eye powder which I feel like you can dupe from the drugstore with a little powder and a light satin highlighter

    Ladies, for those of you having an allergic reaction to this - or any mineral foundation and other types of these products - it's due to the synthetic ingredient bismuth oxychloride (lab created). It's used to impart that characteristic 'glow' that we all love. But there are far better ingredients which can be used for this, including but not limited to - mica, boron nitride, etc. The Bare Escentuals line has A LOT of bismuth oxychloride in their entire line, including the eye shadows. It's a very common allergen which makes many women break out in hives, irritated bumps, skin rash, eczema, acne, weepy pussy patches, itchy and watery - swollen - eyes, etc. Lots of sexy reactions to it :-) There's nothing wrong with you. The problem is the sub standard, toxic product. Some other lines which has this harmful chemical in them are Skinn and MAC's mineral foundation. Lots of it. And yes, I've tested them both. Many other lines use it as well. Always check all of your makeup for this ingredient! An allergy to it isn't rare. It's extremely common.

    This brand may be popular and well known, but it's some of the worst out there. For better quality, cheaper products, try Silk Naturals Minerals. They're at http://www.silknaturals.com OR Adorned With Grace Minerals at http://www.adornedwithgrace.com I've tested both of these brands as well, along with many others, and can vouch for the fact that they are not irritating. My skin is fairly sensitive to bad products.

    The quality of the aforementioned products is far higher, their prices are relatively inexpensive with great coverage (Silk Naturals has 3 types of coverage with silk powder in them - Original, Medium and Heavy), AWG has 2 types of coverage, they are made in small batches by hand.........and your skin will thank you for it. :-) Some of the BEST mineral foundation out there, especially in the low price range. Low price yes. Low quality, no. A higher ticket price doesn't ever guarantee quality.

    Another offender, believe it or not, is retinyl palmitate. Commonly irritates skin. Yes, I know it's vitamin A. But vitamin A can be brutal on skin. Be careful, ladies :-) READ YOUR LABELS! :-)

    So I bought this product since everyone was raving about it. But was so disappointed with it. I have combination skin and this cake my face. After 2 hours, my skin was so oily and I can see the foundation running a little. EWWWww talk about nasty. Also it doesn't cover the redness around my nose. What a waste especially if you have oily to combination skin.
